Aur Tanha
Pritam & KK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

तू ही तो है
तू ही तो है
हर पल ही तेरी
बातों में गुज़रता
इतना क्यूँ मेरे साथ आई तू
तू ना जाने तू ना जाने
हर पल में तू है
मैं हूँ या है रास्ता
इतना क्यूँ मुझको दूर लायी तू
ना मैं वादा करता हूँ
ना मैं भूला करता
तू है तो सब रस्तों पे
मैं क्या ढूँढा करता
यूँ तेरा होना भी और तन्हा करता
तू ही तो है
तू ही तो है
जो हंसते हंसते आँखें भर सकती है
अब इतनी तो पहचान हो गयी
नहीं है तो नहीं है तू
अब छोड़ा है तो
सच में छोड़ दे मुझको
क्यूँ हर पल की मेहमान हो गयी
मैं यूँ तन्हा जीता हूँ
जैसे कोई मरता
ये भी कोई होना है
जो है आँखें भरता
यूँ तेरा होना भी और तन्हा करता
और तन्हा करता




और तन्हा करता

Overall Meaning

The song "Aur Tanha" by Pritam and KK delves into the emotions of loneliness and longing in a relationship. The lyrics reflect the singer's deep connection with their lover, who seems to be their sole source of happiness and companionship. The repetition of "Tu hi to hai" emphasizes the importance of this person in their life. The singer questions why their partner has brought so much joy and meaning into their life and why they are unable to live without them.


The lyrics also express a sense of betrayal and confusion as the singer wonders why their partner has distanced themselves. They feel lost and abandoned, unable to understand why they have been left alone. The lines "Na main wada karta hoon, Na main bhoola karta, Tu hai toh sab raston pe, Main kya dhundha karta" suggest that without their partner, the singer feels directionless and purposeless. They yearn for their lover's presence, as their absence has left a void in their life.


The song further explores the contradictory feelings of happiness and loneliness that arise from the presence and absence of the loved one. The line "Yun tera hona bhi aur tanha karta" indicates that the singer feels both fulfilled and lonely because of their partner. Their lover's presence brings happiness, but their absence makes them feel isolated and incomplete. This contrast creates a complex emotional dynamic within the relationship.


The final lines of the song express a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that their partner no longer belongs to them, and they ask them to let go completely. The repetition of "Aur tanha karta" underscores the profound loneliness the singer feels, even though they are surrounded by others. The song ends on a poignant note, highlighting the singer's struggle to come to terms with their solitude and the pain of losing their loved one.

To the ones who are here after KK passed away, I feel you guys. Have listened to hundreds of songs by him, but this gives a different vibe considering this among the recent songs he has nailed. Rest in Peace Legend.
