Kya Hi Hai Meaning & Lyrics (Akanksha Sethi)
Akanksha Sethi describes a frozen moment in time where all efforts feel useless. She asks, ‘How has time come to a standstill?’ The poet highlights the struggle of being trapped in one’s mind, unable to break free from the chains of grief.
Ruk Gaya Hai Kaise SamaHow has time come to a standstill?
Main Bhi Thahra Sa Hoon YahanI, too, feel frozen right here.
Dukh Naya Hai Phir Se MilaI’ve found a new kind of sorrow once again.
Nahin Rahna Mujhe Ab YahanI don’t want to stay here anymore.
Pal Do Pal Ka Raasta WohThat path that lasted only a moment,
Aadha Sa Safar Tha Jo Wahanthe journey that was left half-finished there,
Mila Kya Hi Haiwhat have I even gained from it?
Koshishein Fizool Hain SaariAll my efforts are completely useless,
Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I do.
Koshishein Fizool Hain SaariAll my efforts are completely useless,
Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I do.
Le Gaya Gum Phir Se WahanMy grief took me back there again,
Nahin Jaana Tha Jahanto the place I never wanted to go.
Aadat Yeh Lagi Hai KyonWhy has this become such a habit?
Mann Mein Phanse Ruke Hai YunI’m stuck, trapped within my own mind like this.
Riha Kare Nahin Na Woh Yeh KariThese shackles won’t ever set me free.
Yeh Kya Hi Hai Yeh Kya Hi Hai Yeh Kya Hi HaiWhat even is this? What even is this? What even is this?
Yeh Kya Hi Hai Yeh Kya Hi Hai Kya Hi HaiWhat even is this? What even is this? What is this?
Koshishein Fizool Hain SaariAll my efforts are completely useless,
Jo Bhi Keh Loon Main Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I say or what I do.
Koshishein Fizool Hain SaariAll my efforts are completely useless,
Jo Bhi Keh Loon Main Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I say or what I do.
Bandishein Na Khulegi HamariMy constraints won’t ever break open,
Jo Bhi Kar Loon Main Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I do, no matter what I do.
Bandishein Na Khulegi HamariMy constraints won’t ever break open,
Jo Bhi Kar Loon Mainno matter what I do.
Ruk Gaya Hai Kaise SamaHow has time come to a standstill?
Main Bhi Thahra Sa Hoon YahanI, too, feel frozen right here.
