Let Her Go Lyrics In Hindi & English Translation
| Hindi Lyrics (हिंदी) | English Translation |
|---|---|
| जब रोशनी धीमी होती है, तभी उसकी ज़रूरत महसूस होती है | Well you only need the light when it’s burning low |
| जब बर्फ गिरने लगती है, तभी सूरज की अहमियत समझ आती है | Only miss the sun when it starts to snow |
| जब उसे जाने देते हो, तभी समझते हो कि उससे सच्चा प्यार था | Only know you love her when you let her go |
| जब उदासी छा जाती है, तभी अहसास होता है कि कभी खुश थे | Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low |
| जब घर की याद सताती है, तभी रास्ता बुरा लगता है | Only hate the road when you’re missing home |
| जब उसे जाने देते हो, तभी महसूस होता है कि वो कितनी खास थी | Only know you love her when you let her go |
| और तुमने उसे जाने दिया | And you let her go |
| गिलास के तल में खोए हुए टकटकी लगाए | Staring at the bottom of your glass |
| उम्मीद करते हो कि एक दिन सपना पूरा होगा और टिकेगा | Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last |
| पर सपने धीरे आते हैं और बहुत जल्दी चले जाते हैं | But dreams come slow and they go so fast |
| जब आंखें बंद करते हो तो वही चेहरा नजर आता है | You see her when you close your eyes |
| शायद एक दिन समझ पाओगे कि ऐसा क्यों हुआ | Maybe one day you’ll understand why |
| क्योंकि जो भी छूते हो, वो खो क्यों जाता है | Everything you touch surely dies |
| अंधेरे में छत को ताकते हुए | Staring at the ceiling in the dark |
| दिल में वही पुरानी खालीपन की टीस | Same old empty feeling in your heart |
| क्योंकि प्यार धीरे-धीरे आता है लेकिन बहुत जल्दी चला जाता है | ‘Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast |
| जब तुम नींद में जाते हो तो उसका चेहरा नजर आता है | Well you see her when you fall asleep |
| पर न कभी उसे छू सकते हो, न ही पास रख सकते हो | But never to touch and never to keep |
| क्योंकि तुमने बहुत ज्यादा प्यार किया और बहुत गहराई में डूब गए | ‘Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep |
| ओ ओ ओ नहीं | Oh oh oh no |
| और तुमने उसे जाने दिया | And you let her go |
| हाँ, तुमने उसे जाने दिया | Well you let her go |
| क्योंकि रोशनी की कदर तब होती है जब वो बुझ रही होती है | ‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low |
| सूरज तब याद आता है जब सर्दी उसकी जगह ले लेती है | Only miss the sun when it starts to snow |
| जब वो नहीं रहती तब ही समझ आता है कि वो कितनी जरूरी थी | Only know you love her when you let her go |
| जब तुम गिरे हुए महसूस करते हो तभी ऊंचाई की अहमियत समझते हो | Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low |
| रास्ता तब तक ठीक लगता है जब तक घर याद नहीं आता | Only hate the road when you’re missing home |
| और जब तुमने उसे खो दिया, तभी जाना कि तुम उससे प्यार करते थे | Only know you love her when you let her go |
Let Her Go Lyrics In English Mix
Well, tumhe sirf light tab chahiye hoti hai jab woh dheere jal rahi ho
Sirf tab sooraj ki yaad aati hai jab snow girne lagti hai
Pyar ka ehsaas tab hota hai jab usse jaane dete ho
High hone ka matlab tab samajh aata hai jab low feel karte ho
Raasta bura tab lagta hai jab ghar ki yaad satati hai
Aur tumhe tab hi samajh aata hai ki tum usse kitna chahte the, jab tumne use chhod diya
Aur tumne usse chhod diya…
Ghoorte ho glass ke bottom mein
Dil mein umeed hoti hai ke ek din sapna poora hoga
Lekin sapne slowly aate hain, aur instantly chale jaate hain
Jab aankhein band karte ho toh uska chehra dikhta hai
Ho sakta hai ek din tumhe samajh aaye kyun
Jo bhi chhoote ho, sab kuch chala kyun jaata hai
Lekin light ki value tab hoti hai jab woh bujh rahi ho
Sooraj sirf tab yaad aata hai jab thand padti hai
Aur tumhe uski kadar tab hoti hai jab tum usse jaane dete ho
Khushi tab samajh aati hai jab tum dukhi ho
Raaste tab hi bure lagte hain jab tumhe apne ghar ki yaad aati hai
Aur tumhe tab hi samajh aata hai, jab tumne usse chhod diya
Andheron mein chhat ko takte ho
Dil mein wahi purani khaali feeling hoti hai
Kyunki pyar dheere se aata hai, aur bahut jaldi chala jaata hai
Neend mein bhi uska chehra dikhta hai
Par usse chhoo nahi sakte, paas nahi rakh sakte
Kyunki tumne usse bohot zyada chaha, aur bohot gehra doob gaye
Phir se wahi line…
Sirf tab light chahiye hoti hai jab woh bujh rahi ho
Sirf tab sooraj ki yaad aati hai jab snow girti hai
Aur tab hi samajh aata hai ki tum usse pyaar karte the jab tumne use chhod diya
High hone ka asli matlab tab samajh aata hai jab tum low feel karte ho
Ghar ki yaad tab hi aati hai jab tum door hote ho
Aur tumhe tab hi realize hota hai, jab tumne usse chhod diya
Aur tumne usse chhod diya…
Oh oh woah oh oh…
Aur tumne usse chhod diya
Oh oh woah oh oh…
Jab tumne usse chhod diya
Whoa…
Kyunki sirf tab light chahiye hoti hai jab woh dheere jalti ho
Sirf tab sooraj yaad aata hai jab snow padti hai
Sirf tab pyaar samajh aata hai jab tum usse jaane dete ho
Sirf tab high feel samajh aata hai jab low mehsoos karte ho
Sirf tab raste bure lagte hain jab ghar ki yaad aati hai
Aur tumhe tab hi pata chalta hai ki tum usse pyaar karte the… jab tumne usse chhod diya
