Bheed Mein Tanhai Mein English Translation

Bheed Mein Tanhai Mein translates to English as, in a crowd, (and) in loneliness... It is a wonderful Hindi song that is beautifully sung by Udit Narayan, and Shreya Ghoshal. It is from the Bollywood film Tumsa Nahin Dekha starring the brilliantly talented actor Emraan Hashmi. It is an extremely sad song about loss; if you lost someone you loved dearly, then you would be thinking of them everywhere, and the lyrics of this song expresses these feelings eloquently. Loss is universal amongst civilized people, and those evolved enough to understand it never create loss for others. For the most part, the words are simple and have straightforward meanings. There are just a handful of words that might need explaining for other languages.
