Zaroori Tha Lyrics : Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s soulful rendition of ‘Zaroori Tha’ is a masterpiece of modern Sufi-inspired music, released as part of his 2014 album Back 2 Love. The song’s profound lyrics, penned by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar, explore the bitter-sweet necessity of separation in certain relationships—captured in the memorable line, “Kuch rishton ka namak hi doori hota hai, na milna bhi bahut zaroori hota hai.”
More than just a track, its music video became a cultural phenomenon, starring popular actors Gauahar Khan and Kushal Tandon, whose on-screen chemistry resonated deeply. This non-film track broke records by becoming the first original non-film music video from the Indian subcontinent to cross the billion-view mark on YouTube,
Zaroori Tha Lyrics
Lafz kitne hi tere pairon se lipte honge
Tune jab aakhiri khat mera jalaya hoga
Tune jab phool kitaabon se nikaale honge
Dene wala bhi tujhe yaad toh aaya hoga
Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha
Mohabbat bhi zaroori thi, bichhadna bhi zaroori tha
Zaroori tha ki hum donon tavaaf-e-aarzu karte
Magar phir aarzuon ka bikharna bhi zaroori tha
Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha
Batao, yaad hai tumko woh jab dil ko churaya tha?
Churayi cheez ko tumne Khuda ka ghar banaya tha
Woh jab kehte the, mera naam tum tasbeeh mein padhte ho
Mohabbat ki namaazon ko qaza karne se darte ho
Magar ab yaad aata hai, woh baatein thi mehez baatein
Kahin baaton hi baaton mein mukarna bhi zaroori tha
Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha
Wahi hain sooratein apni, wahi main hoon, wahi tum ho
Magar khoya hua hoon main, magar tum bhi kahin gum ho
Mohabbat mein dagha ki thi, so kaafir the, so kaafir hain
Mili hain manzilein, phir bhi musafir the, musafir hain
Tere dil ke nikaale hum kahan bhatke, kahan pahunche
Magar bhatke toh yaad aaya, bhatakna bhi zaroori tha
Mohabbat bhi zaroori thi, bichhadna bhi zaroori tha
Zaroori tha ki hum donon tavaaf-e-aarzu karte
Magar phir aarzuon ka bikharna bhi zaroori tha
Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha
