Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
इस्से ज्यादा तुझे और चाहू तो क्या
तेरे ही ख्यालों में डूबा रहा
इस्से ज्यादा तुझे और चाहू तो क्या
बस सारे गम में जाना संग हूँ तेरे
हर एक मौसम में जाना संग हूँ तेरे
अब इतने इम्तिहान भी ना ले मेरे
आ आ आ संग हूँ तेरे
आ आ आ संग हूँ तेरे
मेरी धड़कनों में ही तेरी सदा
इस कदर तू मेरी रूह में बस गया
तेरी यादों से कब रहा मैं जुड़ा
वक़्त से पूछ ले वक़्त मेरा गवाह
बस सारे ग़म में जाना संग हूँ तेरे
हर एक मौसम में जाना संग हूँ तेरे
अब इतने इम्तेहान भी ना ले मेरे
आ आ आ संग हूँ तेरे
आ आ आ संग हूँ तेरे
आ आ आ संग हूँ तेरे
हे हे हे हे हे हे हे
ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
The song "Tujhe Sochta Hoon" by Pritam feat. KK is a beautiful composition that captures the emotions of someone deeply in love with another person. The lyrics speak of the singer's constant thoughts about their loved one, both in the day and the night, and how they are willing to endure all the pains that come with love as long as they are together. The opening lines "Tujhe sochta hoon main shaam o subah, iss se zyada tujhe aur chaahu toh kya" speak of the singer's constant thinking about their loved one, even more than one can imagine.
The chorus repeats the line "bas saare gham mein jana sang hoon tere, har ek mausam mein jana sang hoon tere, ab itne imtihaan bhi na le mere" which translates to how the singer wants to be with their loved one through every hardship and every season of life. The second verse speaks of the loved one always being in the singer's heart and how their memories keep him connected even when they are apart.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of true and unconditional love, of how one person wants to be there for the other through thick and thin. The melody is soothing and makes one feel the depth of emotions in the lyrics, making it a song that can touch the hearts of anyone who listens.

तुझे सोचता हूँ मैं शाम ओ सुबह
I think of you day and night
इस्से ज्यादा तुझे और चाहू तो क्या
If I love you more than this, then what?
तेरे ही ख्यालों में डूबा रहा
I keep getting lost in thoughts of you
बस सारे गम में जाना संग हूँ तेरे
I go through all my sorrows with you by my side
