Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sirf mein janoon tu hai kahan kahan
Chup ke se aye sab ke dermiyaan
Sirf mein janoon tu hai kahan kahan
Hawa woh sur woh geet woh awaz woh
Nermi germi ahat ya saaz woh
Kyun chor gaye raste
Hawa woh sur woh geet woh awaz woh
Nermi germi ahat ya saaz woh
Ahat sunoo tumko dekhon
Jab dekh loon kia mein kahon
Honth khulein zubaan gum ho
Lafzon ki khoj mein mein gum rahoon
Kyun chor gaye raste
Kabhi saath chale the jin peh
Kyun chor gaye raste
Kabhi saath chale the jin peh
Yeh ghariyon ki sazish hai
Ke app aye na yeh meri gzarish hai
Ke ayen to jain na
The lyrics of Atif Aslam's song "Chor Gayai" convey a sense of longing and loss, as the singer reminisces about a past relationship and wonders what happened to the connection he once had with that person. The opening lines, "Chup ke se aye sab ke dermiyaan / Sirf mein janoon tu hai kahan kahan," suggest a sense of isolation or separation from others, with the singer feeling like he is the only one who truly understands what has been lost. He then goes on to describe the various things that have been left behind, including the "hawa," "sur," "geet," and "awaz" - all elements that once contributed to the relationship's beauty and depth.
The chorus repeats the phrase "kyun chor gaye raste," which translates to "why did we leave the path?" This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the relationship itself, with the two partners having gone astray from love's path and lost their way. The singer wonders why this happened, and even suggests that he might be able to find the lost connection again if he could just hear the other person's "ahat" or see their face.
The final lines of the song, "Yeh ghariyon ki sazish hai / Ke app aye na yeh meri gzarish hai / Ke ayen to jain na," suggest a sense of resignation or acceptance. The singer acknowledges that there are forces at work beyond his control, and that ultimately he cannot force the other person to return. He makes a final plea, but it is tinged with sadness and regret, knowing that the chance for reconnection may have already passed.

Chup ke se aye sab ke dermiyaan
Silently amidst everyone, you arrived
Sirf mein janoon tu hai kahan kahan
Only I know where you are
Hawa woh sur woh geet woh awaz woh
That breeze, that tune, that song, that voice
Nermi germi ahat ya saaz woh
That soft or loud sound, that melody
Kyun chor gaye raste
Why did you leave the path
Kabhi saath chale the jin peh
That we used to walk together
Ahat sunoo tumko dekhon
I hear a sound, I look for you
Jab dekh loon kia mein kahon
What do I say when I see you
Honth khulein zubaan gum ho
My lips open but my words disappear
Lafzon ki khoj mein mein gum rahoon
Lost in search of words
Yeh ghariyon ki sazish hai
It's a conspiracy of time
Ke app aye na yeh meri gzarish hai
That you don't arrive is my request
Ke ayen to jain na
If you come, don't leave
