Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
दरिया तू ही प्यास तू
तू ही दिल की बेकरारी
तू सुकूं तू सुकूं
जाऊ मैं अब्ब जब जिस जगह
पाऊं मैं तुझको उस जगह
साथ होके न हो तू है रूबरू रुबुरू
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
आ तुझे इन बाहों में भर के और भी कर लूं मैं करीब
तू जुदा हो तो लगे हैं आता जाता हर पल अजीब
इस जहां में है और न होगा मुझसा कोइ भी खुशनसीब
तुने मुझको दिल दिया है में हूँ तेरे सबसे करीब
में ही तो तेरे दिल में हूँ में ही तोह साँसों में बसूं
तेरे दिल की धड़कनों में मैं ही हूँ मैं ही हूँ
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
हम्म
हो कब भला अब यह वक़्त गुजरे कुछ पता चलता ही नहीं
जबसे मुझको तू मिला है होश कुछ भी अपना नहीं
उफ़ यह तेरी पलकें घनी सी छाँव इनकी है दिलनशी
अब किसे डर धुप का है क्यूँ की है ये मुझपे बिछी
तेरे बिना न सांस लूं तेरे बिना न मैं जियूं
तेरे बिना न एक पल भी रह सकूं रह सकूं
तू ही हकीकत ख्वाब तू
दरिया तू ही प्यास तू
तू ही दिल की बेकरारी
तू सुकूं तू सुकूं
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा
तू हमसफ़र तू हमकदम तू हमनवा मेरा

Ever since I met you, I have lost all sense of my own being.
उफ़ यह तेरी पलकें घनी सी छाँव इनकी है दिलनशी
Oh, your eyelashes are like thick shadows, so heart-warming.
अब किसे डर धुप का है क्यूँ की है ये मुझपे बिछी
Now I am not afraid of the sun, as it shines on me because of you.
तेरे बिना न सांस लूं तेरे बिना न मैं जियूं
Without you I cannot breathe, without you I cannot live.
तेरे बिना न एक पल भी रह सकूं रह सकूं
Without you, I cannot even exist for a single moment.
