Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come around… it's time to baby
Come around.
Come on now… come around…
It's time to baby… come around
Come around… come around
Koi nahin tha yeh akeli meri thi zindagi
Ohhh yehhh…
Khamosh tha honthon pe baatein nahin thi
Koi nahin tha yeh akeli meri thi zindagi
Tum mile toh mil gaya yeh jahaan
Tum mile toh har pal hai naya
Tum mile toh sabse hai… faasla
Tum mile toh jaadu chaa gaya
Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh maine paaya… hai khuda
Come around… it's time to baby
Come around.
Come on now… come around…
It's time to baby… come around
Come around… come around
Palken moondein chaahat meri so rahi thi
Khushboo hawaaon mein thi
Maine nahin mehsoos ki
Mmm mm.mm
Jaane kahaan bahaaren meri khil rahi thi
Khushboo hawaaon mein thi
Maine nahin mehsoos ki
Tum mile toh mehki baarishen
Tum mile toh jaagi khwaahishen
Tum mile toh rangon ka hai silsila
Tum mile toh jaadu chaa gaya
Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh maine paaya hai khuda
Ta ra ra. ta ra ri re… ta ra ra
Tune duaaein suni
Dil ki sadaiyen suni
Tujhse main maangu aur kya
Tujh bin adhura hun main
Tere sang poora hun main
Karta hun tera shukriya
Kaise kahoon, kaise kahoon…
Kaise kahoon…kaise kahoon…
Kaise kahoon lamhe mujhe choo rahe hain
Aisa laga hain inmein tera hi toh ehsaas hai
Ohh hooo
Kaise kahoon dil mein nayi aahaten hain
Aisa laga hain inmein tera hi toh ehsaas hai
Tum mile toh mera dil gaya
Tum mile toh sab kuch mil gaya
Tum mile toh logon se kya vaasta
Tum mile toh jaadu chaa gaya
Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya
Tum mile toh maine paaya hai khuda
Come around… it's time to baby
Come around.
Come on now… come around…
It's time to baby… come around
Come around… come around
Come around
The song Tum Mile by Pritam is a beautiful ode to love and how it has the power to transform an individual's life. The song starts with the chorus urging someone to come around as it is time to embrace life again. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the singer reminisces about the past and how they were living life without any dreams or aspirations. It was a lonely existence, and they longed for something more.
The first stanza describes the singer's previous existence where they were living life without any dreams or aspirations. The lines indicate that everything was missing from their life. They lacked the words to express their emotions. The nights were long with no one to confide in, to share their innermost thoughts. However, the arrival of their loved one transformed the whole world, and the direction of life changed. Tum Mile is referred to as the catalyst, which transformed everything in their life.
The second and third stanzas describe how the arrival of their loved one transformed their world, bringing magic and joy. The singer, unable to articulate the depth of their emotions, resorts to metaphorical language, describing the changes in colors and smells in the air, and how every moment with their loved one is now precious, filled with new desires and passions. The chorus appears again, repeating that it is time to embrace life, come around to the new reality, and see how life has changed.

Khwaabon bina, nigahen meri jee rahin thi
Without dreams, my eyes were still alive
Koi nahin tha yeh akeli meri thi zindagi
There was no one, my life was alone
Tum mile toh mil gaya yeh jahaan
When you came, I found the whole world
Tum mile toh har pal hai naya
Every moment feels new since I met you
Tum mile toh sabse hai… faasla
The distance between us disappeared when we met
Tum mile toh jaadu chaa gaya
There was magic in the air since we met
Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya
I learned to live again since we met
Tum mile toh maine paaya… hai khuda
Since I met you, I found God
Palken moondein chaahat meri so rahi thi
My desires were asleep with my eyes shut
Khushboo hawaaon mein thi

I could not feel it
Tum mile toh mehki baarishen
There was a fragrant rain since we met
Tum mile toh jaagi khwaahishen

Tujhse main maangu aur kya
What else should I ask for from you?
Tujh bin adhura hun main
Without you, I am incomplete
Tere sang poora hun main
With you, I am complete
Kaise kahoon lamhe mujhe choo rahe hain
How can I say the moments are touching me?
Aisa laga hain inmein tera hi toh ehsaas hai
It feels like your presence is in every moment
Kaise kahoon dil mein nayi aahaten hain
How can I say there are new breaths in my heart?
Tum mile toh mera dil gaya
Since we met, my heart is gone
Tum mile toh sab kuch mil gaya
Since we met, I have found everything
Tum mile toh logon se kya vaasta
Since we met, what do I care about others?
Come around… it's time to baby
It's time to come around and be with me
Come on now… come around…
Come around now, don't wait
