Thode se tum
Mohit Chauhan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shabnam ki boond ho, bas tum
Honthon ki pyaas ho,
Jeene ki aas ho, bas tum
Aankhon ki neend ho,
Shabnam ki boond ho, bas tum
Honthon ki pyaas ho,
Mere khyaalon ki dhundli faseelon pe
Subah ki baarish ho tum
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe
Main meri neendein jaage tere hi liye
Ye meri neendein jaage tere hi liye
Kyun har khushi muskuraaye tere hi liye
Main tera aks hoon, tu mera aainaa
Aa mita de sabhi dooriyaan
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe
Kyun tera, zikr rahe khyalon mein mere
Kyun tera, zikr rahe khyalon mein mere
Kyun iss tarah, rehta hai tu sawalon mein mere
Khwahishein tu meri, raahatein tu meri
Faasle na rahe darmiyaan
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Ishq mein kho rahe
Thode se hum, thode se tum
Muqammal ho rahe.
The lyrics of Mohit Chauhan’s “Thode se tum” beautifully capture the essence of being in love. The opening lines set the mood of the song with the imagery of a peaceful sleep (aankhon ki neend ho) and the gentle dewdrops (shabnam ki boond ho), and how it is all possible with the presence of the beloved (bas tum). The next line expresses the yearning of the lover for the kiss (honthon ki pyas ho) and the desire to live (jeene ki aas ho), both of which are once again fulfilled only by the presence of the loved one (bas tum).
The chorus of the song - “thode se hum, thode se tum” - encapsulates the feeling of getting lost in love (ishq mein kho rahe) and becoming complete (muqammal ho rahe) with the loved one. The second verse describes how the lover is lost in thoughts of the beloved, and how the morning rain is a manifestation of those thoughts. The third verse talks about the special bond between the lovers, how they are each other’s reflections (main tera aks hoon, tu mera aainaa), and how all distances disappear in their love (aa mita de sabhi dooriyan).
Overall, the song is deeply romantic and brings out the emotions of being in love – the yearning, the passion, and the feeling of completeness that comes with the presence of the loved one.
