I met a girl on facebook in May 2020 , We talked we fall in love with each other . She is from nepal and belongs to hindu family , Im from india and belongs to sikh family , it was peak time of lockdown 2020 ,we wanted to meet but because of lockdown borders was totally closed and airlines was also closed . I used to hear this song when I really missed her . we decided to marry and we did it in November 2021 . And now she is sleeping on my left arm and im listening this melody once again.❤

Lyrical Explaination for Global Viewers

This is one of the brilliant composition by Shankar Ehsaan Loy written by Gulzar Sahab. It's impossible nearly impossible to toich his writing skills. I'm doing this to bring forward the magic of Gulzar to other listener who would probably miss this magic just becuase of language barrier.



धागे तोड़ लाओ चाँदनी से नूर के
Let's pluck threads from moon that are build from grace

घूँघट ही बना लो रोशनी से नूर के
Let's make a veil ( traditional coering ) using that light and grace

धागे तोड़ लाओ चाँदनी से नूर के
घूँघट ही बना लो रोशनी से नूर के

Same as above

शर्म आ गई तो आग़ोश में लो
साँसों से उलझी रहें मेरी साँसे
If I ever feel shy, embrace me in your arms
As I wouldn't be able to speak at that moment as my breathe are playing games with me.

(Lots of personification is used here that is trying to explain a relation. That relation is between two couples. This relation is often compared by celestial object. This personification is used by Gulzar Sahaab in almost his every song) .

बोल ना हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के-हल्के
Talk in soft noise very soft noise
होंठ से हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के
The voice that is lighter than your lips

(This is the main part of song that establish the plot that the couple's are talking and spending time with each other)

बोल ना हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के-हल्के
होंठ से हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के

Same as above

आ नींद का सौदा करें, इक ख्वाब दें, इक ख्वाब लें
Let's make a deal, deal of sleep and as a currency we should use dreams. Give one dream take one in return.

इक ख्वाब तो आँखों में है, इक चाँद के तकिए तले
One dream is in my eyes and the other in below pillow. One dream is precious that is in my eyes but other is my treasure that I have kept hidden under my pillow.
कितने दिनों से ये आसमां भी सोया नहीं है, इसको सुला दे
From many days this sky is restless hasn't slept it's time that we should give him rest and make him sleep.

(Again the personification is taken back to night and dreams and sleep. The writer is trying to convey how deeply they have submerge themselves in love)

बोल ना हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के-हल्के
होंठ से हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के
बोल ना हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के-हल्के
होंठ से हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के


उम्रे लगीं कहते हुए, दो लफ़्ज़ थे, इक बात थी
We took a lifetime to say, only two words and one one sentence.

वो इक दिन सौ साल का, सौ साल की वो रात थी
That day was equalant to 100 years and that night was 100 years long.

कैसा लगे जो चुप-चाप दोनों
Just imagine if we can stay silent

हो पल-पल में पूरी सदियाँ बिता दे
And spend one second as century by spending time with each other.

(This is the conversation party of the song here writer has told us that how patiently they have waited for this time. It's very hard for them to convey their feelings among themselves. This personified decoration of time shows the passage of time one feels in love)

बोल ना हल्के-हल्के, बोल ना हल्के-हल्के
होंठ से हल्के-हल्के...
धागे तोड़ लाओ चाँदनी से नूर के
घूँघट ही बना लो रोशनी से नूर के
शर्म आ गई तो आग़ोश में लो
साँसों से उलझी रहें मेरी साँसे
