Tum Kya Mile
Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
आई है तुमसे रंगीनिया
फीके थे लम्हे जीने में सारे
आई है तुमसे नमकीनिया
बे-इरादा रास्तों की
बन गये हो मंज़िलें
मुश्किलें हल हैं तुम्ही से
या तुम्ही हो मुश्किलें
हम ना रहे हम, तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
कोरे काग़ज़ों की ही तरह है
इश्क़ बिना जवानीयाँ
दर्ज़ हुई है शायरी में
जिनकी हैं प्रेम कहानियाँ
हम ज़माने की निगाहों में
कभी गुमनाम थे
अपने चर्चे कर रही है
अब शहर की महफिलें
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम, तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे, दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
हम थे रोज़मर्रा के एक तरह के
कितने सवालों में उलझे
उनके जवाबों के जैसे मिले
झरने ठंडे पानी के हो रवानी में
उँचे पहाड़ों से बह के
ठहरे तालाबों से जैसे मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम
तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
The lyrics of the song "Tum Kya Mile" by Pritam express a sense of newfound colors in life and the transformative power of love. The first verse portrays the dullness of life before meeting someone, where days and evenings were colorless and moments lacked any meaning. However, with the arrival of this person, life becomes vibrant and flavorful, and the once aimless paths become a destination. They become the solution to all difficulties, or perhaps, they themselves are the challenges that make life meaningful. The chorus emphasizes the curiosity and excitement of discovering this person, questioning what they have brought into the singer's life, like the bloom of spring in their heart.
The second verse compares love to blank papers, where emotions and stories of love are written. The singer used to be anonymous, hidden in the eyes of the world, but now they are the talk of the town, attending social gatherings and gaining reputation. The chorus repeats the same questions, wondering what this person has brought into their life, like the arrival of spring in the month of Phagun.
The last verse describes how the singer was entangled in countless questions and finally found the answers in the responses of this person, reminiscent of the flow of cool water from a waterfall or meeting tranquil lakes. Again, the questions of what this person has brought into the singer's life are raised.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tum Kya Mile" highlight the transformative and uplifting power of love, portraying it as a catalyst for adding colors and meaning to life.

बेरंगे थे दिन बेरंगी शामें
The days were colorless, the evenings were colorless
आई है तुमसे रंगीनिया
You have brought colors
फीके थे लम्हे जीने में सारे
Every moment of life felt dull
आई है तुमसे नमकीनिया
You have brought saltiness
बे-इरादा रास्तों की
The purposeless paths
बन गये हो मंज़िलें
Have become destinations
मुश्किलें हल हैं तुम्ही से
You are the solution to all difficulties
या तुम्ही हो मुश्किलें
Or you yourself are the difficulties

In the eyes of the world
कभी गुमनाम थे
We were once anonymous
अपने चर्चे कर रही है
Now we are being discussed
अब शहर की महफिलें
Now the gatherings of the city
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
What have I found in you, what have I found
हम ना रहे हम, तुम क्या मिले
I am no longer myself, what have I found in you
जैसे मेरे, दिल में खिले

हम थे रोज़मर्रा के एक तरह के
We were like everyday routines
कितने सवालों में उलझे
Entangled in so many questions
उनके जवाबों के जैसे मिले
As if I found their answers
झरने ठंडे पानी के हो रवानी में
Flowing like cool water in a waterfall
उँचे पहाड़ों से बह के
Flowing down from high mountains
ठहरे तालाबों से जैसे मिले
As if found in still ponds
तुम क्या मिले
What have I found in you
तुम क्या मिले
What have I found
हम ना रहे हम
I am no longer myself
तुम क्या मिले
What have I found in you
जैसे मेरे दिल में खिले
Like the blossoming of my heart
