Tu Kyun Itni Door?

  • **Featured Artists**: Yashwanth
  • **Release Date**: October 27, 2024

Lyrics

Lyrics

जब पास हो मेरे, तो सब सही सा लगता है, तुझसे दूर होते ही, जैसे कोई टुकड़ा बिखर जाता है। तेरे बिना ये सन्नाटा, खा जाता है मुझे, क्या कभी महसूस किया तुने, जो दर्द है मेरे सीने में?

    • Chorus:**

तू क्यों इतनी दूर? जब दिल से मैं इतना पास हूँ, तू क्यों मुझसे मुँह मोड़ती है, क्या मैं इतना ही बेक़दर हूँ? तेरी हर मुस्कान में मेरा टूटता हुआ दिल है, फिर भी तुझसे प्यार है, ये सच्चाई ही सबसे बड़ी मुश्किल है।

    • Verse:**

वो जब तुझे देखता है, क्यों मेरी जान तुझसे छीन लेता है? मैं तुझे संभालने को तैयार हूँ, और तू मुझसे भाग जाती है। तेरे पीछे ये सब कुछ छोड़ आया, और अब सिर्फ एक ही सवाल है: क्या कभी तूने मुझे चाहा?

    • Outro:**

तू बोलती है मुझसे जब हम साथ हैं, पर जैसे ही लौट जाती है, खामोशी बढ़ जाती है। तेरी हर वो बात, मेरे दिल में घाव बन जाती है, क्या तुझे कभी मेरी फिक्र थी, या ये बस एक मोह-माया थी?
