फूलो के मेले हम है अकेले
आ भी जा आ भी जा
हाथों में हाथ मेरा लेले
फूलो के मेले हम है अकेले
फूलो के मेले हम है अकेले
आ भी जा आ भी जा
हाथों में हाथ मेरा लेलेफूलो के मेले हम है अकेले
प्यार के बिन
दिल की धड़कन
हाय गिन गिन के कैसे गुजारू
प्यार के बिन
दिल की धड़कन हाय गिन गिन के कैसे गुजारू
कोन है मेरा
ऐसे में जिसको
तेरे सिवा में पुकारू

तूने दिए है दर्द नवेले
तूने दिए है दर्द नवेले

फूलो के मेले हम है अकेले
ये तन्हाई ये अंगड़ाई
कहती है प्यार का फ़साना
आ आ आ आ आ आ
कहती है प्यार का फ़साना

The song "Phoolon Ke Mele" epitomizes a longing for connection and companionship, set against the backdrop of a vibrant floral fair, which symbolizes beauty and celebration. The repeated phrase "फूलों के मेले हम हैं अकेले" (We are alone in the fair of flowers) poignantly captures the essence of the singer's solitude amidst a bustling and colorful environment. This contrast highlights a deep desire for emotional closeness with a loved one. The imagery of flowers represents joy and abundance, yet the singer feels isolated, suggesting that beauty alone cannot fulfill the heart's yearning for love. The invitation to the beloved to "come and hold my hand" serves as a plea for union and togetherness, emphasizing that shared experiences are where true happiness lies.
As the lyrics progress, they delve into the deeper sentiments of love and loss. "प्यार के बिन दिल की धड़कन" (Without love, the heartbeat...) conveys the idea that life loses its rhythm and meaning in the absence of affection. The repetition underscores the anguish felt by someone longing for their partner's presence, where counting heartbeats becomes a metaphor for experiencing time's slow, unbearable passage without love. The introspection on who else the singer could call upon “except you” reinforces the idea that no one else can fill that void. This exploration of emotional dependency highlights the importance of the beloved in the singer's life, portraying love as a vital force rather than a mere embellishment.
The song also touches upon the subtext of isolation in a romantic context. The lines "ये तन्हाई ये अंगड़ाई" (This loneliness, this stretch) reflect the contrast between the physical presence of others during the fair and the emotional disconnect that the singer feels. The act of physically being amidst a celebratory environment yet feeling the pang of loneliness emphasizes the complexity of love and relationships. The call to gaze into each other's eyes and share the "heart's treasure" acts as a poignant reminder that true emotional intimacy involves vulnerability and a deep connection beyond just physical presence. It evokes a sense of urgency in the singer’s plea, underscoring both love's beauty and its capacity to wound.
Finally, the concluding lines of the song evoke a sense of resignation and a call to action. "कब तक कोई आहो से खेले" (How long will one play with sighs) expresses a yearning for authenticity in expressing love rather than engaging in superficial gestures. The repetitive invitation for the beloved to hold hands encapsulates the simplicity and purity of love—the unspoken bond built through mutual trust and affection. This encapsulation of longing within the vivid imagery of a fair—a place typically associated with joy, community, and connection—beautifully underscores the theme that even in bustling surroundings, the heart can feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness when it lacks the connection it craves. Thus, the lyrics poetically blend themes of love, yearning, and human emotion, presenting a rich tapestry of feelings that resonate universally.
