The Hindi film Do Patti features a playback of the sad song Akhiyan De Kol. Here the singer speaks of heartbreak and her inability to get over it. The translated title is “Near the Eyes,” with lyrics written by Kausar Munir exploring lost love, betrayal, and the torment of separation. Kriti Sanon stars in the evocative track, which features expressive vocals by Shilpa Rao, while John Fredrick Peter Mayne directs the visuals.
I have translated the Hindi lyrics of “Akhiyan Nu Rehn De Akhiyan De Kol Kol,” a heartbroken woman’s message to her love, from Kausar Munir. Kausar Munir so beautifully expresses the emotion of a devastated lover in the Hindi lyrics. The refrain, “Akhiyan Au Rehn De… Akhiyan Ahe Wale Dher Kol…,” translates to “Let my eyes linger, let them stay close to yours,” and encapsulates the song’s theme of desire and the inability to move on.
Do Patti Movie’s Akhiyan De Kol Lyrics English [Meaning]
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De, Akhiyan De Kol-Kol,
Let my eyes linger, let them stay close to yours,
Chann Pardesiya Bol Bhawein Na Bol,
Oh, my beloved foreigner, speak or stay silent, it doesn’t matter.
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De
Just let my eyes linger.
Ishq Ka Khanjar Tune Seene Mein Aise Mara,
You struck the dagger of love into my heart,
Dil Ke 100 Tukde Ho Gaye, Tune Dekha Na Yara,
Shattering it into a hundred pieces. You didn’t even notice, my love,
Dard Dabe Hain Dil Mein, Raz Chhupe Hain Inmein,
The pain hidden within my heart, the secrets concealed within,
Inhe Ashqon Mein Hi Behne De,
Let them flow out through my tears.
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De, Akhiyan De Kol-Kol,
Let my eyes linger, let them stay close to yours.
Chann Pardesiya Bol Bhawein Na Bol,
Oh, my beloved foreigner, speak or stay silent, it doesn’t matter.
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De
Just let my eyes linger.
Ni Main Dil Ni Lagauna, Ni Main Dil Ni Lagauna
I refuse to surrender my heart once more.
Ni Main Karke Wafa Har Vari Pashtauna,
Every time I try to be faithful, I end up regretting it.
Oh Ve Ik Din Haye Mera Tod Jana,
Oh, one day you will break my heart.
Ni Main Akhiyan Cho Hanjua Nu Ni Barsauna,
I am refusing to allow my eyes to shed tears over this situation.
Ni Main Dil Ni Lagauna, Ni Main Dil Ni Lagauna
I refuse to surrender my heart once more.
Ni Main Karke Wafa Har Vari Pashtauna,
Every time I try to be faithful, I end up regretting it.
Oh Ve Ik Din Haye Mera Tod Jana,
Oh, one day you will break my heart.
Ni Main Akhiyan Cho Hanjua Nu Ni Barsauna,
I am refusing to allow my eyes to shed tears over this situation.
Mere Haniye Be-Imaniye,
Oh, my deceitful beloved,
Tere Piche Hoyi Badi Badnamiyan,
My reputation has been tarnished because of you.
Mere Janiye Be-Dardaniye,
Oh my cruel beloved,
Tere Hathon Hoyi Badi Barbadiyan,
You have caused my ruin.
Ishq Ki Fitrat Tune Janke Bhi Na Jani,
You failed to understand the true nature of love,
Ishq Ki Kismat Tune ‘Beqadar’ Na Pehchani,
You didn’t recognize the fate of love as something precious.
Ab To Kehna Hai Mushkil, Chup Bhi Rehana Hai Mushkil,
Now, it’s difficult to speak, and staying silent is equally hard.
Aaj Bin Bole Hi Kehne De,
Today, let my eyes express what words cannot.
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De, Akhiyan De Kol-Kol,
Let my eyes linger, let them stay close to yours.
Chann Pardesiya Bol Bhawein Na Bol,
Oh my beloved foreigner, speak or stay silent, it doesn’t matter.
Akhiyan Nu Rehan De
Just let my eyes linger.
Akhiyan De Kol Music Video
Visuals can be breathtakingly haunting in a perfect way, and that’s exactly how the beautifully shot music video of “Akhiyan De Kol” manages to connect when you listen to such a song. Director Kriti Sanon brings the vision to life. Director John Fredrick Peter Mayne delivers a captivating performance by embodying the raw emotions that Kriti Sanon beautifully explored through the song Broken Heart. Its employment of dim-lit ambience, faint shading, and intense zoomed-in views beautifully encapsulated the song’s tale of parting and yearning.
Reshma’s Akhiyan Nu Rehan De Akhiyan De Kol Kol (Live)
Ironically, Khan Muhammad (music), Sehrai Gurdas Puri (lyrics), and Reshma sung the original “Ankhiyan Nu Rehan De” in 1979. The additional historical context allows for side-by-side comparison, highlighting the fluctuations in musical styles and interpretations across generations.
