Inaam Lyrics English Translation – Anuv Jain

Malum Hai Na Hum Janay Tumko Tumse Zyada
You know, right? I understood you more than you understood yourself.

Tumko Mila Hai Woh Saalon Se Jo Bhi Hai Manga
You’ve always gotten everything you asked for for years.

Kaise Khilono Ki Ro Ro Ke Karte The Mangay
Like how kids cry and demand toys,

Ik Bar Mil Jaye Do Din Mein Hi Bhul Jatay
And once they get them, they forget them within two days.

Lekin Khilono Ke Dil Toh Hote Hi Nahin The
But toys don’t have hearts…

Dil Toh Humara Hai Janay Galat Kya Sahi Yeh
I am the one with a heart — only I know what’s right or wrong.

Kitna The Chahte Par Ab Tumko Yaad Na Aatey Hum
I used to love you so much, yet now you don’t even remember me.

Kya Yaad Tumko Tum Humko ‘Inaam’ The Kehte
Do you remember? You used to call me your “reward.”

Karte The Kitna Kuch Panay Ki Chah Mein Pehlay
You used to do so much earlier, just to win me.

Ab Yeh Inaam Ka Tum Pe Ilzaam Hai Jana
Now this “reward” has become an accusation against you.

Dil Hai Gawah Jeete Jabse Ho Tumko Hai Hara
My heart is witness — the moment I won you, I actually lost.

Cheezein Badalti Hain Itna Toh Hum Ne Bhi Mana
Things change — that much even I accept.

Itna Badal Jaogay Jana Kisne Tha Jana
But that you would change this much, who could have known?

Jo Tha Parvana Ab Usko Humari Parwah Na Kyun?
The one who once chased after me… why doesn’t he care anymore?

Dil Mein Baat Kya Hai? Haan Bolo Humse
What’s in your heart? Yes, 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 lacking here? Tell me.

Jo Kaha Mila Hai Haan Bolo Humse
You got what you asked for — say it.

Badle Mein Bhala Hai Haan Bolo Humse
In return, what more do you expect? Tell me.

Manga Tumse Kya Hai Hai Manga Zara Sa Hi, Kya Hi,
What did I even ask from you? It was such a small thing…

Kya? Haye… Bas
What? Uff… that’s all.

Jo Khat Likhe The Tumne Unhe Padh Bhi Lo Zara
Read those letters you once wrote to me.

Waadein Kiye The Jo Bhi Nibhao Na Aise Kabhi
Fulfill those promises — not like this.

In Waadon Ki Siyahi Abhi Sukhi Hi Kahan?
The ink of those promises hasn’t even dried yet.

Hai Tumhari Hi Likhai Yaan Bhule Ho Ye Bhi?
It’s your handwriting — or have you forgotten that too?

Kehne Ko Wah Wah Tum Phir Se Inaam Ho Jeete
People may praise you, saying you won a reward again…

Chehre Par Muskan Par Ankhein Hain Khush Na Kahin Se
You smile on the outside, but your eyes aren’t happy at all.

Humne Kaha Tha Hum Janey Tumko Tumse Zyada
I told you, I know you better than you know yourself.

Shayad Galat The Par Itna Toh Humne Hai Jana
Maybe I was wrong — but I’ve learned at least this much.

Har Woh Inaam Qadar Ke Bina Hi Hai Waise
Every reward without value or appreciation is meaningless.

Ghar Mein Padhe, Dhul Khate Khilono Ke Jaise
Like old toys lying at home, gathering dust.

Pal Bhar Behlay Par Dil Ko Yeh Khush Na Kar Paye Yoon
They distract you for a moment, but they never bring real happiness.

Ghar Bethe Likhta Tha Dil Ki Kahani Meri
I used to sit at home and write the story of my heart.

Charon Taraf Thi Deewarein Deewaron Se Hi
All around me were walls — and only the walls listened.

Kehta Tha Ik Din Jahaan Hoga Haathon Mein Hi
I used to say that someday the whole world would be within my hands.

Aa Aa

Jo Tha Gumnamo Mein Ab Woh Inaamon Pe Bhi
The one who was once unknown is now on trophies too…

Qaidi Hai, Qaid Hi Hai Phir Bhi Dewaron Mein Hi
Yet he is trapped — still confined within those same walls.

Namumkin Khwabon Mein Na Khush Udane Meri
In impossible dreams, my wings cannot fly happily.

Aa Aa
