Shivendra Murmu’s “Tanhaiyan,” an evocative Hindi ballad, delves into the intricacies of love, grief, and the melancholy acceptance of destiny. We translate the title, “Loneliness,” from Hindi to English. Am Turaz composed the lyrics, exploring themes of separation, sorrow, and the enduring power of love. Aman Prajapat, the director, brings to life this emotionally charged track, which features Aftab Shivdasani and Kavita Tripathi.
“Tanhaiyan” reflects on the inevitable separation, laments a lost love, and embraces fate. The Hindi lyrics of Am Turaz narrate the tale of two lovers destined to part ways. The phrase “Tears flowing from my eyes tell the story of my heart” precisely encapsulates the central message of the song, encapsulated by the chorus: “Aankhon se barasta paani, batlata hai dil ki kahani.”
Shivendra Murmu’s Tanhaiyan Lyrics Translation (in English)
Tanhayiyon Ki Raah Pe Khud Hi Chale The Hum,
I walked the path of loneliness alone,
Bichhadne Ke Waste Hi Tujhse Mile The Hum,
I met you only to be separated.
Aankhon Se Barasta Paani, Batlata Hai Dil Ki Kahani
Tears streaming from my eyes tell the story of my heart;
Yeh Jo Baaqi Bachi Hain Saansein, Yeh Mujhme Hain Teri Nishani,
These remaining breaths are your mark on me.
Is Halaat Mein Humse Mile Tum,
You met me in this condition,
Is Barsaat Mein Humse Mile Tum,
You met me in this rain.
Ishq Mein Aakhir Ab Kuchh Aise Lamhe Guzarne Honge,
In love, moments like these will have to pass;
Jaan Gawaa Kar Humko Ishq Ke Qarz Utarne Honge,
I will have to repay the debt of love by giving up my life.
Is Duniya Se Uper Uthkar Pyar Nibhana Hoga,
Rising above this world, I must fulfill this love;
Ishq Ko Zinda Rakhne Ki Khatir Humein Mar Jaana Hoga,
To keep love alive, I will have to die.
Marne Ki Raat Mein Humse Mile Tum
You met me on this night of death,
Kis Halaat Mein Humse Mile Tum
In this condition, you met me.
Marne Ki Raat Mein Humse Mile Tum
You met me on this night of death,
Kis Barsaat Mein Humse Mile Tum,
In this rain, you met me.
Humse Mile Tum! Humse Mile Tum!
You met me! You met me!
“Duniya Ke Liye Shayad Ye Zulmat Ka Waqt Tha
For the world, perhaps this was a time of darkness,
Lekin Yeh Aashiqon Ki Ibaadat Ka Waqt Tha
But for lovers, this was a time of worship.”
