Meherma ve Ranjhna ve Meherma ve Dholna ve

Oh beloved !

Jaan jaan kehke meri jaan len waliya

Maula teri khair kare

You took away my life, calling me your life . It refers to the feeling of love, which is overwhelming. 

Let God protect you . 

 

Daman e dil main hai itni mohabbatein

Saansein rasta doondhti hain ane jaane ke liye

The deep emotion of love is felt by the embrace of the heart .

We are held in a tight embrace as breaths search for a path to come and go. 

Ho ho bahon ki chaanv main itna sukoon hai

Lafz doondon main kahan se yeh batane ke liye

Hui main hui bawri main toh hui bawri

There is so much peace in the shade of your arms that I don’t know where to search for words to explain it . 

I have gone crazy

 

Man ke munder par diya jale pyar ka

Chain ko bhi tumne di hai meeti si bechaniyan

A lamp of love burns kept on the parapet wall of the heart

You have given sweet restlessness even to comfort. 

Ishq ke bhes main tum yun mile humain

Os jaise so rahi ho phoolon ki agosh main

Hui main hui bawri main toh hui bawri

I have got you disguised as love . I am sleeping in your arms just like dewdrops embracing flowers. 

I have gone crazy

Postlude – The musical notes or sargam ,  give a charm to the song . The lyricist Rani Malik has given a sweet twist by telling the sweetness of restlessness while being in love . Nature has many love stories . One such love story is that between the  flower and the dewdrop . How many such dewdrops embrace the flowers in nature are unknown to us . This song is a hidden gem released in the indie pop music scene post 2010 .
