Hariharan | Prithvi Gandharv’s Ab Chhalakte Hue [from “bhoomi 2025”] Lyrics Translation
The man accuses the wine server of a specific cruelty: getting him drunk only to then serve others. The pain later shifts from this public slight to a personal betrayal. He states he has seen the world change but cannot endure the new coldness in someone’s eyes.

The song connects the pain of temptation to the sting of personal rejection. His vow is tested by both the sight of wine and the changed attitude of another person. The meaning of the ‘Ab Chhalakte Hue’ lyrics is about how outside reminders can make personal change agonizing.
