Pritam Lyrics

अनसुनी सी होने लगी
क़ाबू दिल पे रहा ना
हस्ती हमारी खोने लगी
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
शायद यही है प्यार
कह दे मुझसे दिल में क्या है
ऐसा भी क्या ग़ुरूर
तुझको भी तो हो रहा है
थोड़ा असर ज़रूर
हो ये खामोशी जीने ना दे
कोई तो बात हो
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
शायद यही है प्यार
बातें कुछ अनकही सी
कुछ अनसुनी सी होने लगी
क़ाबू दिल पे रहा ना
हस्ती हमारी खोने लगी
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
शायद यही है प्यार
शायद यही है प्यार
तू ही मेरी रोशनी है
तू ही चिराग़ है
धीरे धीरे मिट जाएगा
हलका सा दाग है
हो ये ज़हर भी यूँ पिया
है जैसे शराब हो
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह

Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si, a song from the Bollywood movie Life in a Metro, is a soulful ballad about unspoken words and unheard sounds that connect two people in love. The song describes an unusual yet enchanting feeling that one experiences when in love. The lyrics suggest that sometimes words aren't enough to express what we feel, and certain unseen connections are what matters most. The song also touches upon the idea that love can be unpredictable and uncontrollable.
The first two lines of the song "Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si Kuch Ansunee Si Hone Lagi" signifies how some of the things the singer wants to say remains unsaid and unheard. The next verse talks about how the heart is not in control when one is in love. Instead, it's the heart that controls us. The line, "Shayad Yehi Hai Pyaar" means, "Maybe this is love." The lyrics suggest uncertainty and confusion, but at the same time, it represents hope and belief that love may be possible. The song ends with a beautiful analogy, "Tu Hi Meri Roshni Hai Tu Hi Chirag Hai," which means, "You are my light, and You are my lamp."

बातें कुछ अनकही सी कुछ अनसुनी सी होने लगी
Some words are starting to become unsaid, some unheard

Our heart is losing control and our existence is being lost
व्होह वोह ओह ओह ओह
Repeated meaningless sounds
शायद यही है प्यार
Perhaps, this is love
कह दे मुझसे दिल में क्या है ऐसा भी क्या ग़ुरूर
Tell me what's in your heart, what's there to be proud of?
तुझको भी तो हो रहा है थोड़ा असर ज़रूर
You're also being affected somewhat
हो ये खामोशी जीने ना दे कोई तो बात हो
This silence won't let us live, someone speak
तू ही मेरी रोशनी है तू ही चिराग़ है
You are my light, you are my lamp
धीरे धीरे मिट जाएगा हलका सा दाग है
Slowly, this slight stain will disappear
हो ये ज़हर भी यूँ पिया है जैसे शराब हो
This poison has been consumed as if it was wine
