Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
सिर्फ हैं ज़रा ज़रा सी इतनी
के नसीब हो मुझे तेरी फ़ुरसतें
तेरी आहटें
क्यूँ जगा रही है मुझको
सारी सारी रात ले रही हु मैं करवटे
पैदल पैदल है अब ये
पड़ते ज़मीन पे कदम क्यूँ नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में तो नहीं
इश्क़ मुमकिन
होगा कभी हम नहीं मानते थे
हां मगर हम
तुमको भी पहले का जानते थे
बादल बादल पर चलते
पैदल पैदल है अब ये
पड़ते ज़मीन पे कदम क्यूँ नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नहीं
हम नशे में हम नशे में
हम नशे में तो नही
The lyrics of Pritam's song "Dekho Nashe Mein" convey the intense desire and longing for love. The singer expresses their yearning for just a little bit of happiness and the hope that fate will allow them to have some moments of leisure with their loved one. The sound of their beloved's footsteps keeps them awake all through the night, making them shift restlessly in bed. They wonder why their footsteps don't touch the ground, as if they are walking on clouds.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Hum nashe mein" several times, which can be interpreted as being intoxicated or lost in love. It symbolizes a state of being overwhelmed with emotions and completely consumed by the feeling of being in love. The repetition emphasizes that the singer is fully immersed in this state and there is no escape from it.
The second verse suggests that love is unpredictable and that the possibility of falling in love was not something they believed in before. However, now they understand and appreciate their beloved's presence and cannot resist the intoxicating effect it has on them. Just like in the first verse, they wonder why their steps don't touch the ground, as it represents the desire to be closer and connected to their loved one.
Overall, the song portrays the singer's deep longing for love and the overwhelming effect it has on them. It speaks to the intense emotions experienced when being lost in love, and the desire to be consumed by it completely.

That I may have your leisure
तेरी आहटें
Your whispers
क्यूँ जगा रही है मुझको
Why do they wake me up
सारी सारी रात ले रही हु मैं करवटे
Making me toss and turn all night long
बादल बादल पे चलते
Walking on clouds

Why don't my steps land on the ground
हम नशे में हम नशे में
We are intoxicated, we are intoxicated

Love is possible

We never believed this could happen
हां मगर हम
Yes, but we
तुमको भी पहले का जानते थे
Knew you from before
हम नशे में तो नहीं
But we are not intoxicated
