Raat Akeli Thi Lyrics in English Letters (Romanized)

Raat Akeli Thi To Baat Nikal Gayi
Tanha Shehar Mein Vo Tanha Si Mil Gayi
Maine Usse Poocha,
Hum Pehle Bhi Mile Hain Kahin Kya?
Phir?

Uski Nazar Jhuki, Chaal Badal Gayi
Zara Sa Kareeb Aayi, Aur Sambhal Gayi
Haule Se Jo Boli, Meri Jaan Behal Gayi, Haan
Kya Boli?

Haan, Hum Mile Hain Sau Sau Dafa
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan
Ik-Doosre Mein Hum Yun Laapata
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan

Raat Akeli Thi To Qissa Hi Badal Gaya
Bhare Se Shehar Mein Vo Bheed Sa Mil Gaya
Maine Usse Poocha,
Hum Pehle Bhi Mile Hain Kahin Kya?
Phir?

Akhiyan Mila Ke Thoda-Thoda Sa Vo Muskaaya
Mujh Ko Bhi Zara-Zara Sa To Kuch Yaad Aaya
Bola, "Maine Raaz Ye Kab Se Hi Tha Chhupaya", Haan
Kya Raaz?

Haan, Hum Mile Hain Sau Sau Dafa
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan
Ik-Doosre Mein Hum Yun Laapata
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan

Ki Dekhun Main Jahan, Tere Hi Nishaan
Haan, Tere Hi Nishaan, Jaana Phir Kahan?
Ki Teri Chup Mein Bhi Lakhon Lafz Hain
Ki Mere Haath Mein, Haan, Teri Nabz Hain

Haan, Hum Mile Hain Sau Sau Dafa
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan
Ik-Doosre Mein Hum Yun Laapata
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan

Haan, Hum Mile Hain Sau Sau Dafa
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan
Ik-Doosre Mein Hum Yun Laapata
Main Dhool Hoon, Tu Karvaan

Raat Akeli Thi Song Description

This song "Raat Akeli Thi" is a beautiful song from the Merry Christmas movie, starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. The song is available on the Tips Music YouTube channel. It is sung by Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra, with music composed by Pritam and lyrics written by Varun Grover. 

The song's lyrics tell the story of a lonely night, where the city is desolate and two people meet. At the beginning of the song, the question is asked, "Kya hum pehle bhi mile hain?" (Have we met before?). Then, glances lower and an old connection is remembered. Lyricist Varun Grover has presented this in a very delicate manner, like "Main dhool hoon, tu kaarvaan" (I am dust, you are the caravan) — this line is repeated and shows the depth of the relationship, where there is a feeling of getting lost in each other. 

In the later part, the tale of the night changes, creating a different feeling within the crowded city. In the song, memories are refreshed and a hidden secret is revealed. Finally, the song repeats that we have met many times before, and are incomplete without each other. This song expresses love, memories, and a deep connection in simple words, which sounds even more special in Arijit Singh's voice.
