Nescafé Basement Season 6’s Hum Tum Lyrics With English Meaning
Anjani Rahon Mein Tanha Musafir
On unknown paths, I am like a lonely traveler,
Na Chah Koi Na Hai Koi Mazil
With no desire and no destination.
Jab Peeche Dekha Toh Sirf Saye Hein
When I looked back, there were only shadows,
Jo Mujhay Dhoondte Hue Aye Hein
Which came searching for me?
Woh Nahi Jante Mein Yahan Zinda Nahi
They don’t know I am no longer present here.
Mein Toh Wahin Hoon Jahan Hum Tum Thay
I am still where we used to be,
Ek Doosre Ki Ankhon Mein Gum Thay
Lost in each other’s eyes,
Bus Hum Tum Thay
It was just us.
Anjani Rahon Mein Tanha Musafir
On unknown paths, I am like a lonely traveler,
Na Chah Koi Na Hai Koi Mazil
With no desire and no destination.
Main Janta Hoon Aisa Mumkin Toh Nahi Phir Bhi
I know such a thing is not possible, yet,
Kash Aisa Ho Mil Jayein Sansein Bhi Aur Dil Bhi
I wish we could reunite, both our breaths and our hearts.
Hum-Tum Milke Duniya Basayein
We two could create a world together,
Dil Ke Musafir Manzil Payein
We, the travelers of the heart could find their destination.
Hum-Tum Sajayein Dil Ka Nagar Jahaan
We two could decorate the city of our hearts where,
Apni Zameen Ho Apna Ho Asmaan
We have our land and our sky.
Par Janta Hoon Mein Aisa Hona Mumkin Nahi
But I know such a thing is not possible.
Anjani Rahon Mein Tanha Musafir
On unknown paths, I am like a lonely traveler,
Na Chah Koi Na Hai Koi Mazil
With no desire and no destination.
