Rekha Bhardwaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
लिख के मिटाती हूँ मैं रात भर
ऐसे क्यूँ बातें खुद की ही
खुद से छुपती हूँ मैं आज कल
पर ये सब सोचना
दिल को यूँ खोलना
सब कुछ कह कर ही
ऐसे क्यूँ
ऐसे क्यूँ उसके होठों पे
अच्छा लगता है मेरा नाम
ऐसे क्यूँ कुछ भी बोले वो
मन में घुलता है ज़ाफ़रान
गिरता है गुलमोहर
ख्वाबों में रात भर
ऐसे खव्बों से बहार निकलना
ज़रूरी है क्या
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना
अक्सर तुमसे मिलकर मुझको
घर सा लगता है
फिर क्यूँ दिल ही दिल में कोई
डर सा लगता है
अक्सर तुमसे मिलकर मुझको
घर सा लगता है
फिर क्यूँ दिल ही दिल में कोई
डर सा लगता है
बीता जो वाकेया
सोचूँ मैं क्यों भला
बीती बातों से दिल को दुखाना
ज़रूरी है क्या
ऐसे क्यूँ हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ वो कुछ बोले ना
ऐसे क्यूँ हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ वो कुछ बोले ना

ऐसे क्यूँ कुछ तो लिखती हूँ
Why do I write something like this
लिख के मिटाती हूँ मैं रात भर
I write and erase it all night long
ऐसे क्यूँ बातें खुद की ही
Why such self-centered talks
खुद से छुपती हूँ मैं आज कल
I hide from myself these days
पर ये सब सोचना
But think about all this
दिल को यूँ खोलना
Open your heart like this
सब कुछ कह कर ही
Tell everything
सब को बताना ज़रूरी है क्या
Is it necessary to tell everyone
ऐसे क्यूँ
Why like this
ऐसे क्यूँ उसके होठों पे
Why does my name on his lips feel good
अच्छा लगता है मेरा नाम
It feels good to hear my name
ऐसे क्यूँ कुछ भी बोले वो
Why does he say anything
मन में घुलता है ज़ाफ़रान
Saffron takes over his mind
गिरता है गुलमोहर
The gulmohar tree sheds its blossoms
ख्वाबों में रात भर
All night in dreams
ऐसे खव्बों से बहार निकलना
Come out of such dreams
ज़रूरी है क्या
Is it necessary?
ऐसे क्यूँ
Why like this
हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ
Yes why, yes why
वो कुछ बोले ना
He doesn't say anything
अक्सर तुमसे मिलकर मुझको
Often after meeting you
घर सा लगता है
It feels like home
फिर क्यूँ दिल ही दिल में कोई
Then why does someone in my heart
डर सा लगता है
Feel scared
बीता जो वाकेया
What has happened
सोचूँ मैं क्यों भला
I wonder why
बीती बातों से दिल को दुखाना
Let the past hurt my heart
ज़रूरी है क्या
Is it necessary?
ऐसे क्यूँ हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ वो कुछ बोले ना
Why like this, why doesn't he say anything
ऐसे क्यूँ हाँ क्यूँ, हाँ क्यूँ वो कुछ बोले ना
Why like this, why doesn't he say anything

Loved her
Hugged her
Kissed her
She introduced me to this song and left me after 3 month. I still remember when I was coming back home with her on the train we were listinging to this song together.
