Anuv Jain – Inaam Lyrics in English (Translation)

Maloom Hai Na Hum Jaanein Tumko Tumse Zyaada
You know, I understand you better than you understand yourself.
Tumko Mila Hai Woh Saalon Se Jo Bhi Hai Maanga
You have always received, over the years, everything you ever wished for.
Kaise Khilaunon Ki Ro Ro Ke Karte The Maange
We used to cry and beg for toys,
Ek Baar Mil Jaaye Do Din Mein Hi Bhool Jaate
But even when we got them once, we’d forget them in just two days.

Lekin Khilaunon Ke Dil To Hote Hi Nahin The
But toys never had a heart.
Par Humara Hai Jaane Galat Kya Sahi Ye
Ours did—who can say what was right or wrong.
Kitna The Chahte Par Ab Tumko Yaad Naa Aate Hum
I loved so deeply, yet now you do not even remember me.

Kya Yaad Hai Tumko Tum Humko Inaam The Kehte
Do you remember how you once called me a prize?
Karte The Kitna Kuchh Paane Ki Chaah Mein Pehle
How you tried so much because you wanted to win me?
Ab Ye Inaam Ka Tum Pe Ilzaam Hai Janaab
Now that same prize feels like a burden on you, my dear.
Dil Hai Gawah Jeete Jabse Ho Tumko Hai Haara
My heart is witness that ever since I lived, I have only lost to you.

Cheeze Badalti Hai Itna Humne Bhi Maana
Things change, and I accept that.
Itna Badal Jaoge Jaana Kisne Tha Janaab
But who could have known that you would change this much, my dear?
Jo Tha Parvana Ab Usko Humari Parwah Na Kyon
What was once precious no longer matters to you.

Dil Mein Baat Kya Hai Haan Bolo Humse
What is in your heart? Tell me.
Chahta Aur Kya Hai Haan Bolo Humse
What more do you want? Tell me.
Kya Kami Yahan Hai Haan Bolo Humse Na
What is missing here? Tell me.

Ji Kahan Mila Haan Bolo Humse
Where did you find what you were looking for? Tell me.
Badle Mein Bala Hai Haan Bolo Humse
What have you held on to in return? Tell me.
Maanga Tumse Kya Hai Hai Maanga Zara Sa Hi
What did I even ask from you? It was so little.
Kya Hi Kya Hai
What more could there have been?

Bas Jo Khat Likhe The Tumne Unhe Padh Bhi Lo Zara
Just read the letters you once wrote to me.
Vaade Kiye The Jo Bhi Nibhao Na Use Kabhi
You made promises, yet you never kept them.
Inn Vaadon Ki Siyahi Abhi Sookhi Hi Kahan
The ink of those promises has not dried even now.
Hai Tumhari Hi Likhai Ya Bhule Ho Ye Bhi
Is that really your writing, or have you forgotten that too?

Kehne Ko Waah Waah Tum Firse Inaam Ho Jeete
You win again, and everyone praises you.
Chehre Pe Muskaan Par Aankhen Hain Khush Na Kahin Se
There is a smile on your face, but your eyes do not show happiness from anywhere.
Humne Kaha Tha: Hum Jaane Tumko Tumse Zyaada
I once said that I know you better than you know yourself.
Shayad Galat The Par Itna Tau Humne Hai Jaana
Maybe I was wrong, but I knew at least this much.

Har Woh Inaam Kadar Ke Bina Hi Hai Waise
Every reward becomes meaningless without value or appreciation.
Ghar Mein Padi Dhool Khhati Khilaunon Ke Jaise
They become like dusty toys lying unused at home.
Bhoolaye Par Dil Ki Khush Na Kar Paaye Ye
Forgotten, yet never able to bring any happiness to the heart.

Ghar Baitha Likhta Tha Dil Ki Kahani
I used to sit at home writing the story of my heart.
Meri Chaaron Taraf Thi Deeware Deewano Si Hi
All around me were walls that felt like the walls of a madman.
Kehta Tha Ek Din Jahan Hoga Haathon Mein Haan
I used to tell myself that one day the world would be in my hands.
Jo Tha Gumnaaon Mein Ab Ho Inaamon Pe Bhi
What was once lost in illusions is now lost even in rewards.

Keh Di Hai Keh Di Hai Dil Ki Deewaron Mein Hi
I have spoken, right within the walls of my heart.
Namumkin Khwabon Mein Dil Udaane Mein Aa
In impossible dreams, my heart still tries to take flight.
