Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
saath tumhaara ho meri jaana chaahu na main kuchh aur
tumase o jaana o meri jaana chaahu na main kuchh aur
chaahu na main kuchh aur
Phulon ko jisane rang diye hain, dhund raha hoon main usako
phulon ko jisane rang diye hain, dhund raha hoon main usako
jhulon ko jisane pankh diye hai dhund raha hoon main usako
Yaar puraane tere siwa mera sahaara kaun
yaar puraane tere siwa mera sahaara kaun
mera sahaara kaun
uff yeh najaara kisane banaaya, chaand ke saath chakor
saath tumhaara ho meri jaana (chaahu na main kuchh aur
saath tumhaara ho meri jaana (chaahu na main kuchh aur
Kuchh aur
chaahu na main kuchh aur
chaahu na main kuchh aur
saath tumhaara ho
The lyrics of Mohit Chauhan's song Uff Yeh Nazara express the singer's awe and admiration towards the beauty of their surroundings, particularly the moon and a bird called chakor.
