Inaam Lyrics Translation – Anuv Jain
Anuv Jain establishes deep intimacy, claiming to “know you more than you know yourself.” He then flips the “reward” (‘Inaam’) into an “accusation” (‘Ilzaam’). This transition reveals the lover’s unfaithfulness and highlights a profound sense of betrayal.
Maloom Hai Na, Hum Jaane Tumko Tumse ZyaadaYou know it, don’t you? We know you better than you know yourself.
Tumko Mila Hai Woh Saalon Se Jo Bhi Hai MaangaYou’ve received everything you’ve ever asked for over the years.
Kaise Khilauno Ki Ro Ro Ke Karte The MaangeDon’t you remember how you’d cry and plead for toys?
Ik Baar Mil Jaaye Do Din Mein Hi Bhool JaateOnce you got them, you’d just forget about them in two days.
Lekin Khilauno Ke Dil Toh Hote Hi Nahin TheBut those toys, they didn’t have hearts, did they?
Dil Toh Humaara Hai Jaane Galat Kya Sahi YehIt’s our heart, though, that knows what’s wrong and what’s right.
Kitna The Chahte Par Ab Tumko Yaad Na Aate HumWe used to love you so much, but now you don’t even remember us.
Kya Yaad Tumko Tum Humko Inaam The KehteDo you remember calling us your reward?
Karte The Kitna Kuch Paane Ki Chaah Mein PehleYou used to do so much just to get us before.
Ab Yeh Inaam Ka Tum Pe Ilzaam Hai JaanaNow this ‘reward’ is an accusation against you, dear.
Dil Hai Gawaah Jeete Jabse Ho Tumko Hai HaaraMy heart is a witness; ever since you ‘won’ me, I’ve lost you.
Cheezein Badalti Hain Itna Toh Humne Bhi MaanaThings change, we’ve accepted that much, of course.
Itna Badal Jaoge Jaana Kisne Tha JaanaBut who knew you’d change this much, dear?
Jo Tha Parwaana Ab Usko Humaari Parwaah Na KyunThe one who used to be so dedicated, why don’t they care about us now?
Dil Mein Baat Kya Hai Haan BoloWhat’s really in your heart? Yeah, tell us.
Humse Chahta Aur Kya Hai Haan BoloWhat else do you want from us? Yeah, tell us.
Humse Kya Kami Yahan Hai Haan Bolo, Humse NaWhat’s lacking in us here? Yeah, tell us, it isn’t us.
Jo Kaha Mila Hai Haan BoloHave you received what you asked for? Yeah, tell us.
Humse Badle Mein Bhala Hai Haan BoloHave you done us any good in return? Yeah, tell us.
Humse Maanga Tumse Kya Hai Hai Maanga Zara Sa HiWhat have we ever asked of you? We’ve only asked for a little.
Kya Hi Kya Haaye BasWhat else? Oh, that’s just it.
Jo Khat Likhe The Tumne Unhe Padh Bhi Lo ZaraThe letters you wrote, why don’t you read them, just for a moment?
Waade Kiye The Jo Bhi Nibhaao Na Aise KabhiThe promises you made, you shouldn’t break them like this.
In Waadon Ki Siyaahi Abhi Sookhi Hi KahanThe ink on those promises hasn’t even dried yet, has it?
Hai Tumhaari Hi Likhaayi, Yaa Bhoole Ho Yeh Bhi?It’s your own handwriting, or have you forgotten that too?
Kehne Ko Wah Wah Tum Phir Se Inaam Ho JeeteYou’ve won ‘bravo’ as a reward again, so to speak.
Chehre Par Muskaan Par Aankhein Hain Khush Na Kahin SeThere’s a smile on your face, but your eyes aren’t happy at all.
Humne Kaha Tha Hum Jaane Tumko Tumse ZyaadaWe told you, we know you better than you know yourself.
Shayad Galat The Par Itna Toh Humne Hai JaanaMaybe we were wrong, but this much we’ve certainly learned.
Har Woh Inaam Qadar Ke Bina Hi Hai WaiseAny reward without proper appreciation is just like that.
Ghar Mein Parhi Dhool Khaate Khilono Ke JaiseJust like toys lying forgotten at home, gathering dust.
Pal Bhar Behlaaye Par Dil Ko Yeh Khush Na Kar Paye YoonThey only entertain for a moment, but they can’t truly make your heart happy like that.
Ghar Baithe Likhta Tha Dil Ki Kahaani MeriSitting at home, I used to write my heart’s story.
Chaaron Taraf Thi Deewaarein Deewaron Se HiThere were walls all around, and from those very walls,
Kehta Tha Ik Din Jahaan Hoga Haathon Mein Hi Aa AaI used to say that one day the whole world would be in my hands.
Jo Tha Gumnaamon Mein Ab Woh Inaamon Pe BhiThe one who was once unknown, now even with all these rewards,
Qaidi Hai Qaid Hi Hai Phir Bhi Deewaron Mein HiIs a prisoner, still confined, even within these walls.
Na Mumkin Khwaabon Mein Na Khush Udaane Meri Aa AaMy flights of fancy aren’t happy in impossible dreams.
