Itni Si Baat
Shreya Ghoshal | Sonu Nigam • From “Sam Bahadur”
What is the meaning of Itni Si Baat Lyrics from Sam Bahadur?
The song describes walking two inches above ground as a metaphor for newfound lightness. ‘Na dil ki thi saazish’ rejects deliberate schemes, emphasizing natural emotional shifts instead. Ghoshal’s vocals emphasize quiet wonder over drama.
Itni Si BaatJust such a small thing.
Itni Si Baat AnkahiThis small, unspoken matter,
Yoon Bayaan Ho Gayihas finally been expressed.
Itni Si Baat Dekho Na Dastaan Ho GayiLook, this small thing’s become a grand story.
Na Baadal Na Baarish Ajab Si Wo Shab ThiThere were no clouds or rain, yet it was such a strange night,
Na Dil Ki Thi Saazish Na Ab Hai Na Tab Thithere was no scheme of the heart, not then and not now.
Kyun Chandni Meharbaan Ho GayiWhy’s the moonlight suddenly become so kind?
Itni Si Baat Dekho NaLook, it’s such a small thing,
Dastaan Ho Gayiit’s turned into a grand story.
Itni Si BaatJust a small matter.
Paanv Taley Zameen Hoti HaiThe earth is usually beneath your feet,
Sar Pe Bhi Ik Aasmaan Hota Haiand there’s a sky above your head too.
Paanv Taley Zameen Hoti HaiThe ground is meant to stay beneath you,
Sir Pe Bhi Ik Aasmaan Hota Haiand the sky is always right there above.
Do Inch Upar Chalna Zameen SeTo walk just two inches off the ground,
Aisa Hamesha Kahan Hota Haiwhen does that ever really happen?
Udey Toh Zameen Aasman Ho GayiSince we’ve taken flight, the earth’s become the sky.
Itni Si Baat Dekho Na Dastaan Ho GayiLook, this small thing’s become a grand story.
