Zahir Meaning & Lyrics (Akanksha Sethi)
Akanksha Sethi opens the song by asking her love to ‘listen to the things I want to express’ (Suno suno wo baatein jo kehna chahta hoon). She describes her heart weaving a useless story, searching for a home in unspoken words. The musician wanders through memories, questioning why she fell in love for no reason.
ज़ाहिर करूं मैं जो बातें, वो सुनोListen to the things I want to express,
क्यों मैं कहूं उनको, ये भी तोह जान लोand understand why I need to say them.
बावरी सी बन के फिरती हूं यहाँ-वहाँ, इधर-उधरI wander around like I’ve gone mad, here and there,
जैसे हूं मैं खोई तेरी यादों में बसas if I’m completely lost in your memories.
ज़ाहिर करूं मैं जो बातें, वो सुनोListen to the things I want to express.
दिल बेफिजूल कहानी बुन रहा हैMy heart is weaving a useless story,
मंजर नहीं, बस ये राहें चुन रहा हैignoring the destination, just choosing these paths.
बावरा सा बन के फिरता है यहाँ-वहाँ, इधर-उधरIt wanders around like it’s lost its mind, here and there,
अनकही तेरी बातों में ढूंढता है घरsearching for a home in your unspoken words.
लाखों दफा मैं जो कह दूं, फिर भीEven if I say it a million times,
बातों में बातें ये सारी यूं घुल रहींall these conversations just dissolve into one another.
क्यों खामोखा इश्क हो गया है?Why have I fallen in love for no reason?
आंखों में तेरी मैं ख्वाबों को बुन रहीI’m weaving dreams within your eyes.
ज़ाहिर करूं मैं जो बातें, वो सुनोListen to the things I want to express.
