Riha Song Lyrics English Translation and Meaning – Anuv Jain
[Verse 1]
Hmm, Rait pe pairon se tere nishaan mere dil par
Logon ki lehron si hai baaton se mitenge kab-tak
Ho jaana tu riha mere, ho jaana tu riha mere
Na hona chahun main, na ho sakun kabhi
Translation
The marks on sand
Drawn with your feet
You have made the same
On my heart
The words of people
Which are like waves
Would smudge those marks
For how long?
“Free yourself
Free yourself”
I don’t want to
I cannot ever be
[Verse 2]
Tasveeron mein muskurahat thi
Ab mere chehre pe hai kyun nahi ye poochte
In gairon ko hai samajh nahi koi
Tasveeron mein tum bhi khade the
Mishri si ye yaadein sambhli padi
Tum in mein hi mere ho
Tu hai noor sa, noor hi hai alag
Tu aise mera hai jahaan
Translation
In the pictures
There were smiles
Why aren’t they on my face now
They ask
These strangers (other people)
Don’t understand a thing
In the pictures
You were there too
Your sugar-like memories
Are kept well with me
In them, you’re mine
You’re like light
Your glow is otherwordly
Like this, you’re my world
Come to me, my love
Come in my sleep (dream), oh
Under my closed eyes
You’re with me every moment
[Bridge]
Aise aaja mere, meri nindiyon mein tu aise o
Band palkon tale, tum har ek pal mere pass ho
Tu hai nahi, tu hai magar
Tu hai nahi main kaun hoon ?
Tu hai parindon sa yun udd chala
Bin tere bta main kaun hoon?
Translation
You’re not here
And yet you are
You’re not here
Who am I?
You’re like some bird
Flying away
Without you
Tell me who I am
[Verse 3]
Neendon mein gulistaan hai tera-mera hi hai ye aashiyana
Raaton mein taaron se yun toot kar mere tu laut aana
Reh jaana tu yahan mere, Reh jaana tu yahan mere
Jab-tak milun nahi taaron mein main kahin
Translation
In my dreams
I can see a garden of roses
This is our home
At night
From the stars
Break free, my love
And come back to me
Stay here, my love
Stay here, my love
Until we meet again
Among the stars someday
