Kehna Hi Kya
The Bollywood Brass Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Halchal halchal ho gayi teri honth hai tere chup
Khalbal khalbal ho gayi teri baithe hain gupchup
Pyare pyare chehre lekar karte hain ishara
Dekha teri aankhon ne hai sapna koi pyara

Humse gori na tu sharmana
Aa keh de humse zara
Humse gori na tu sharmana
Aa keh de humse zara

Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile
Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
Armaan naye aise dil mein khile
Jinko kabhi main na jaanoon
Woh humse, hum unse kabhi na mile
Kaise mile dil na jaanoon
Ab kya karein, kya naam lein
Kaise unhein main pukaroon

Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile
Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
Armaan naye aise dil mein khile
Jinko kabhi main na jaanoon
Woh humse, hum unse kabhi na mile
Kaise mile dil na jaanoon
Ab kya karein, kya naam lein
Kaise unhein main pukaroon

Pehli nazar mein kuchh hum
Kuchh tum ho jaate hai yoon gum
Nainon se barse rim-jhim
Rim-jhim humpe pyaar ka saavan
Sharm thodi thodi humko
Aaye to nazrein jhuk jaayein
Sitam thoda thoda humpe
Shokh hawa bhi kar jaaye
Aisi chali aanchal ude
Dil mein yeh ek toofan uthe
Hum to lut gaye khade hi khade

Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile
Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
Armaan naye aise dil mein khile
Jinko kabhi main na jaanoon
Woh humse, hum unse kabhi na mile
Kaise mile dil na jaanoon
Ab kya karein, kya naam lein
Kaise unhein main pukaroon

Halchal halchal ho gayi teri honth hai tere chup
Khalbal khalbal ho gayi teri baithe hain gupchup
Pyare pyare chehre lekar karte hain ishara
Dekha teri aankhon ne hai sapna koi pyara
Humse gori na tu sharmana
Aa keh de humse zara
Humse gori na tu sharmana
Aa keh de humse zara

In hothon ne manga sargam
Sargam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
Aankhein dhoondhe hai jisko hardam
Hardam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
Mehfil mein bhi tanha hai dil aise, dil aise
Tujhko kho na dein darta hai yeh aise, yeh aise
Aaj mili aisi khushi jhoom uthi duniya yeh meri
Tumko paya to paayi zindagi

Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile
Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
Armaan naye aise dil mein khile
Jinko kabhi main na jaanoon
Woh humse, hum unse kabhi na mile
Kaise mile dil na jaanoon
Ab kya karein, kya naam lein
Kaise unhein main pukaroon

Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile




Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
Kehna hi kya!.

Armaan naye aise dil mein khile
New desires have blossomed in my heart


Jinko kabhi main na jaanoon
Those who were once unknown to me


Woh humse, hum unse kabhi na mile
We have never met them, nor have they met us

I don't know how our hearts have met


Ab kya karein, kya naam lein
Now what should we do, what should we call this


Kaise unhein main pukaroon
How should I call them


Pehli nazar mein kuchh hum
In the first glance, we


Kuchh tum ho jaate hai yoon gum
Became somewhat lost in each other


Nainon se barse rim-jhim
Rain drops flow from our eyes


Rim-jhim humpe pyaar ka saavan
Like the monsoon shower of love on us


Sharm thodi thodi humko
We feel a little bit shy


Aaye to nazrein jhuk jaayein
When they come, our eyes bow down


Sitam thoda thoda humpe
They are a little bit cruel to us


Shokh hawa bhi kar jaaye
Even the playful wind seems to be conspiring against us


Aisi chali aanchal ude
Your scarf is flowing like that


Dil mein yeh ek toofan uthe
A storm rises in my heart


Hum to lut gaye khade hi khade
I am standing here, ruined


In hothon ne manga sargam
These lips ask for music


Sargam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
The music is you, and your love is the tune


Aankhein dhoondhe hai jisko hardam
The eyes are always searching for someone


Hardam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
Always, it is you and your love


Mehfil mein bhi tanha hai dil aise, dil aise
Even in the crowd, the heart is lonely like this


Tujhko kho na dein darta hai yeh aise, yeh aise
I am scared of losing you in this way


Aaj mili aisi khushi jhoom uthi duniya yeh meri
Today, I found such happiness that my world is dancing


Tumko paya to paayi zindagi
I found life when I found you


Kehna hi kya yeh nain jo ek anjaan se jo mile
What can these eyes say, which have met a stranger


Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile
This connection has started moving like a love story


Kehna hi kya!
What can be said!
