Early life

In January 1993, Pritam joined the Film and Television Institute in Pune to undertake a course in sound recording and sound engineering. During this time, he was offered a chance to compose background music for a film by Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Gaal. He also learned African music from musicologist Kedar Avati.

Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naina.. bichad ke aaj ro diye hain yun
Naina.. jo milke raat jaagte the
Naina.. sehar mein palken meechte hain yun
Juda huye kadam
Jinhone li thi ye kasam
Milke chalenge hardum
Bheege naina.. jo khidkhiyon se jhankte the
Naina.. ghutan mein band ho gaye hai yun
Saans hairaan hai
Mann pareshaan hai
Ho rahi si kyun ruaansa ye meri jaan hai
Kyun nirasha se hai
cas haari huyi
Kyun sawaalon ka utha sa
Dil mein toofaan hai
Naina.. thhe aasmaan ke sitaare
Naina.. grahan mein aaj toot'te hain yun
Naina.. kabhi jo dhoop senkte thhe
Naina.. thehar ke chhaaon dhoondhte hain yun
Juda huye kadam
Jinhone li thi ye kasam
Milke chalenge hardum
cb baant'te hain ye gham
Bheege naina.. jo sanjhe khwab dekhte the
Naina.. bichhad ke aaj ro diye hain yun
The lyrics of Pritam's song "Naina" describe the emotional journey of someone who is feeling lost, separated, and heartbroken. The song begins by depicting the nostalgic moments of togetherness, as the person used to see dreams together with their loved one, but now they cry after parting ways. The nights they used to spend awake together have turned into moments of wiping their tears under the morning sun.
The chorus emphasizes the separation that has occurred, highlighting the promise made to walk together but now only sharing the burden of sorrow. The tears that used to peek through the windows have now become trapped within, symbolizing the emotional suffocation caused by the separation.
In the second verse, the singer expresses a sense of confusion and distress. Their breath is bewildered, and their mind is troubled, with a feeling of heaviness weighing upon their soul. They question why they are so filled with disappointment and why their heart is engulfed in a storm of unanswered questions.
The bridge of the song reflects the pain of losing someone who was like a shining star in the sky. The singer compares their separation to an eclipse, as if the stars have shattered today. They speak of the times when they used to embrace the sunshine and now seek solace in the shadows.
Overall, "Naina" portrays the emotional turmoil experienced by someone who has gone through a painful separation, reminiscing about the past while struggling to understand and accept the present reality.
