Shaan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeh Haseen Raaz Hai, Jaane Kaun Bhala
Chherta Hai Yeh Aasmaan, Mausam Lage Aaj Manchala
Yeh Pyaar Hai Kya Khoobsurat Bala
Bolo Na Tum Zara, Pyaar Yeh Hota Hai Kya
Yeh Haseen Raaz Hai, Jaane Kaun Bhala
Pyaar Ki Roshni Jismon Mein Ghul Gayi
Lo Chalne Laga, Dil Ka Yeh Kaafila
Sarsaraati Huyi Hawa Yun Baadiyon Mein Hai Beh Rahi
Pyaar Ki Hi Kahaaniyan Kaanon Mein Hole Se Keh Rahi
Yeh Pyaar Hai Kya Khoobsurat Bala
Hey Bolo Na Tum Zara, Pyaar Yeh Hota Hai Kya
O Yeh Haseen Raaz Hai, Jaane Kaun Bhala
Pyaar Yeh Subah Ki Makhmali Dhoop Hai
Pyaar Yeh Shaam Ka Saawala Roop Hai
Yeh Jadoo Hai Kya, Jo Hai Humpe Huya
Pyaar Paaya To Zindagi Ek Pal Mein Jaise Badal Gayi
Rang Ujhle Hai Raagini Naye Sur Mein Jaise Hai Dhal Gayi
Yeh Pyaar Hai Kya Khoobsurat Bala
Bolo Na Tum Zara, Bolo Na Tum Zara
Pyaar Yeh Hota Hai Kya, Pyaar Yeh Hota Hai Kya
Yeh Haseen Raaz Hai, Jaane Kaun Bhala
The lyrics to Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal's "Bolo Na Tum Zara" speak to the beauty and mystery of love. The song opens with the repetitive question, "Bolo Na Tum Zara, Pyaar Yeh Hota Hai Kya?" which translates to "Tell me, what is love?" The following lines describe love as a beautiful secret, with the sky seeming to dance and the weather changing unpredictably, hinting at the excitement and unpredictability that love can bring.
The second verse delves deeper into the transformative power of love. Love "dissolves" into the body and soul, changing and shaping the individual. The singer of the song describes the journey of love as a caravan, with the wind rustling through the trees and whispering tales of love. The imagery in this verse is powerful, with sound and motion working together to create the feeling of being swept away by the intensity of love.
The final verse speaks to the sheer magic of love. Love is like the soft sunlight in the morning and the warm glow of evening; it transforms everything it touches. The lyrics describe how, with the arrival of love, life changes in an instant. Colors become more vivid, music takes on a new relevance, and reality shimmers with new possibility. The song ends with the same question it began with, as if to say that even after all of these descriptions, love remains an enigma.
