“Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai” (often searched by the lyrics Tum Kyun Chale Aate Ho) is the definitive romantic anthem of the mid-2000s. From the 2006 film Woh Lamhe, this track perfectly captured the “Emraan Hashmi-era” musical vibe—moody, melodic, and intensely passionate. It features the powerhouse vocals of the late KK (Krishnakumar Kunnath), whose ability to soar from a gentle whisper to a rock-inflected high note made him the voice of a generation.
The music was composed by Pritam, who was at the peak of his hit-making streak, blending soft-rock elements with catchy Bollywood melodies. The lyrics by Nilesh Mishra beautifully articulate the confusion and “khumar” (intoxication) of falling in love, moving from the feeling of a “shehzada” (prince) to the literal dreams where the beloved keeps appearing (Tum kyun chale aate ho…).
The film Woh Lamhe, directed by Mohit Suri, is a poignant drama based on the real-life relationship between Mahesh Bhatt and the legendary Parveen Babi. While the movie was a cult classic known for Kangana Ranaut’s stellar performance, the soundtrack became a massive commercial success. KK’s soulful rendition remains a staple on romantic playlists today, serving as a reminder of his incredible versatility and the raw emotion he brought to every microphone.
Tum Kyu Chale Aate Ho Lyrics | Woh Lamhe | K.K. | 2006
Tum Kyu Chale Aate Ho Lyrics :
Ho o oo.. oo o oo..
Kyun aaj kal
Nind kam khwab jyada hai
Lagta khuda ka
Koi nek irada hai
Kal tha faqir
Aaj dil shehzada hai
Lagta khuda ka
Koi nek irada hai
Kya mujhe pyar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Ho o oo.. oo o oo..
Paththar ke in raston pe
Phoolon ki ek chadar hai
Jabse mile ho humko
Badla har ek manzar hai
Dekho jahan
Main nile nile aasman tale
Rang naye naye hain
Jaise ghulte hue
Soye se khaab mere
Jaage tere waste
Tere khayalon se hain
Bheege mere raaste
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Ho o oo.. oo o oo..
Tum kyun chale aate ho
Har roj in khwabon main
Chupke se aa bhi jao
Ek din meri baahon main
Tere hi sapne
Andheron main ujalo main
Koi nasha hai
Teri aankhon ke pyalon main
Tu mere khwabon main
Jawaabon main saawalon main
Har din chura tumhe
Main lata hoon khyalon main
Kya mujhe pyar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Ho o oo.. oo o oo..
