Veetrag’s “Badarile Muneeraay” is from the album “19 1 A,” with lyrics by Anwar Ali and music by Govind Vasantha. It begins by likening a beloved person to the “luminous moon of Badr.” The singer searches for this person’s essence through night and day.

19 1 A’s Badarile Muneeraay Lyrics Translation
The song’s attention then turns to others in pain. It is offered for those trapped in a “jinn’s cage,” a metaphor for spiritual anguish. The singer also promises to give life back to those who have become ashes in the “fire of love.”
