disagree  jayashree: the words are to indicate the recognition of the soul which has passed through various previous births together and not just an ordinary introduction

We should know each other


Explanation:
I guess that this song goes as under:

Jaan pehchaan ho
Jeena aasaan ho

The singer is saying if we get to know each other, our life would become smooth and enjoyable.

It would be better if you could provide some more lyrics of this song in order to enable us to provide you with the detailed explanation.

Hope this helps.

to have more than average/basic information


Explanation:
To just casually know someone Or Have basic information about something, would be stated as, "Usay Jaanta Hoo' ---Or--- "Us Cheeze kay baray may thodi bahut jaankari hay".( In this case "Acquaintance / Acquainted With, would be appropriate
But the moment, the term, "Pehechan", is used, the meaning of the Phrase & Subsequently the sentence changes completely.
"Pehechan", Means to know about a person/thing in detail OR, to atleast have more than basic information.
