Tu Hi Junoon
Mohit Chauhan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu karaari shaam
Dil kahe barbad hoja leke tera naam (x2)
Tu jale toh din chadhe
Tu bujhe toh raat
Dil kare kurbaan karun
Tujhpe apni jaan
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Taare saare ke saare
Thugne lage hain ab mujhe
Din mein sapne dikhaane
Lagne lage hain ab mujhe
Tu bandhi zanjeer hai
Tu kasakti heer
Dil kare tere liye
Rakh dun dil ko cheer
Tu thirakta teer hai
Do dhaari talwar
Dil kare hanste huey
Le lun tere waar
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Aasmaan siyaah ghulne laga hai
Baadlon ka dil khulne laga sa hai
Tu mila khila din, raat dhal gayi
Daag chand la ghulne laga sa hai
Likh diya dil ki kalam se tumhara naam
Baandh ke taaveez main pehnu subaho shaan
Tu jale toh din chadhe
Tu bujhe toh raat
Dil kare kurbaan karun
Tujhpe apni jaan
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar
Tu hi junoon, Tu hi karaar....
Tu Hi Junoon is a beautiful love song composed by Pritam, sung by Mohit Chauhan, and written by Kausar Munir.

The verses draw upon the analogy of the various elements of nature, such as the sun, night and day, and the stars. The lyrics are expressive and full of metaphors, bringing forth the ecstasy and madness of being in love.
The song opens with the lines, "Tu chhaderi dhoop hai, Tu karaari shaam, Dil kahe barbad hoja leke tera naam," which means "You are the scorching sun, and you are the crisp night, my heart desires to be destroyed, taking your name." Here, the singer is suggesting the intensity of his emotions for his beloved, and how it affects him deeply. The next verse states, "Tu jale toh din chadhe, Tu bujhe toh raat, Dil kare kurbaan karun tujhpe apni jaan," which translates to "If you burn, the day rises, if you extinguish, night falls, my heart desires to sacrifice my life for you." This line describes the singer's willingness to do anything for his loved one.
Moving to the next part of the song, the lyrics say "Tu bandhi zanjeer hai, Tu kasakti heer, Dil kare tere liye rakh dun dil ko cheer," meaning "You are the bound shackle, you are the fiery love, my heart desires to break itself for you." This line is an allusion to how the singer feels like he is enslaved to his love, yet is completely entranced by it. The following verse reads, "Tu thirakta teer hai, Do dhaari talwar, Dil kare hanste huey le lun tere waar," which translates to "You are the dancing arrow, the double-edged sword, my heart desires to take your life with a smile." This line portrays the singer's love as a beautiful yet dangerous force that he is attracted to, despite its risk.
Overall, Tu Hi Junoon is a song that describes the ecstasy and madness of being in love. It is a beautiful composition that portrays how a person can be deeply and completely in love with someone, and how they would do anything to be with them.

I have written your name with the pen of my heart
Baandh ke taaveez main pehnu subaho shaan
I'll wear it as a talisman, with pride every morning
