Hum Na Samjhe The Baat Itni Si | English Subtitles | Jackie Shroff | Amrish Puri | R D Burman

This is a very beautiful song where the dreams of all the characters are smashed in spite of doing the right things and there is hopelessness and desolation.

हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
आरज़ू हमने की तो हम पाए
आरज़ू हमने की तोह हम पाये
रोशनी साथ लाई थी साये
साये गहरे थे रौशनी हलकी
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
सिर्फ वीरानी सिर्फ तनहाई
सिर्फ वीरानी सिर्फ तनहाई
जिंदगी हमको ये कहा लायी
खो गयी हमसे राह मंजिल की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
क्या कोई बेचे, क्या कोई बाँटे
क्या कोई बेचे, क्या कोई बाँटे
अपने दामन में सिर्फ़ हैं काँटे
और दुकानें हैं सिर्फ़ फूलों की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी
ख्वाब शीशे के दुनिया पत्थर की
हम न समझे थे बात इतनी सी

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand
Such a simple fact


When I desired for light, I got it
However the Light brought with it shadows too
Shadows were dark
But the Light was dim

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand
Such a simple fact

Only desolation, only loneliness
Where has life brought me?
I lost the path to my destination

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand such a simple fact

What can I sell, what can I distribute
There is nothing but thorns in my arms
For flowers you will have to go elsewhere
I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand
Such a simple fact

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
That dreams are of glasses
The World is full of stones

I could not understand
Such a simple fact
