Sangeet Patil and Vishal Shah deliver a direct verbal confrontation in “Bakra Halaal” from the album “Saali Mohabbat.” The track, with lyrics by the artists, establishes a tense scene of a predator cornering their prey. The composition from Zee Music Company supports this dark and calculated mood.

Saali Mohabbat’s Bakra Halaal Lyrics Translation
Sangeet Patil and Vishal Shah’s writing asserts a cruel power dynamic between a master and a subordinate. They mock the target by stating, “I’m your master, and you completely misread me.” This reveals the victim was caught in a “Maaya Jaal,” an inescapable web of illusion.
Billi Jaise Dheeme Dheeme Dabe Paanv Tere Peeche BhaaguI’m stalking you slowly, silently, like a cat.
Bechi Tune Laakho Scheme Padegi Saari Dhaara LaaguYou’ve sold a million schemes, and now every charge is going to stick.
Tere Favor Mein Kuch Na Hoga Tu Aazma LeNothing will work in your favor, just try and see.
Tere Tevar Se Tu Bach Jayega Jaale DaaleYou think that attitude of yours will save you from the traps I’ve set?
Mera Ishaara Hai Tu Gora Chitta Dil Se KaaleThis is my hint for you: you’re fair on the outside but black at heart.
Guru Hun Tera Tune Chehra Mera Samjha SaaleI’m your master, and you completely misread me, you fool.
Bakra Halaal Ho Gaya Bada Sawaal Ho GayaThe goat has been sacrificed, and it’s become a huge question.
Bada Bawaal Ho Gaya Jaadu Ka Pahaad Ho GayaIt’s turned into a massive scene, a mountain of dark magic has appeared.
Jaadu Ka Pahaad Ho Gaya Ganda Rumaal Ho GayaA mountain of dark magic has appeared, your reputation is now a dirty rag.
Bhavishya Ka Taar Ho Gaya Jaanam Betaab Ho GayaThe threads of the future are all tangled, and my ‘dear’ has grown desperate.
Jaal Hai Maaya Jaal Hai Kaaya Chaal Mein Fass Gaya Jail Mein PaayaThis web is an illusion, your body is a trap, you fell for the scheme and found yourself in a jail.
Dekhke Tujhko Baadh Mein Aaya Kaala Tha Yeh Mera ChhaayaSeeing you brought on this flood, and this shadow of mine was always dark.
Andhera Andhera Chhaaya Khel Yeh Mere Haath Kab AayaDarkness has completely taken over, when did this game fall right into my hands?
Jaal Hai Maaya Jaal Hai Kaaya Chaal Mein Fass Gaya Jail Mein PaayaThis web is an illusion, your body is a trap, you fell for the scheme and found yourself in a jail.
Bade Behrupiye Hain Zindagi Ke Circus MeinThere are many great impostors in this circus of life.
Dekho Bas Rupaiye Hain Mere Liye Focus MeinLook, the only thing in focus for me is the money.
Tu Hi Hai Duniya Saari Lattu Hoke Hawas MeinYou think you’re the whole world, completely lost in your own greed.
Chillaati Hai Mere Bheetar Ki Baatein Chorus MeinThe thoughts deep inside me are screaming out like a chorus.
Bakra Halaal Ho Gaya Bada Sawaal Ho GayaThe goat has been sacrificed, and it’s become a huge question.
Bada Bawaal Ho Gaya Jaadu Ka Pahaad Ho GayaIt’s turned into a massive scene, a mountain of dark magic has appeared.
Jaadu Ka Pahaad Ho Gaya Ganda Rumaal Ho GayaA mountain of dark magic has appeared, your reputation is now a dirty rag.
Bhavishya Ka Taar Ho Gaya Jaanam Betaab Ho GayaThe threads of the future are all tangled, and my ‘dear’ has grown desperate.
Jaal Hai Maaya Jaal Hai Kaaya Chaal Mein Fass Gaya Jail Mein PaayaThis web is an illusion, your body is a trap, you fell for the scheme and found yourself in a jail.
Dekhke Tujhko Baadh Mein Aaya Kaala Tha Yeh Mera ChhaayaSeeing you brought on this flood, and this shadow of mine was always dark.
Andhera Andhera Chhaaya Khel Yeh Mere Haath Kab AayaDarkness has completely taken over, when did this game fall right into my hands?
Jaal Hai Maaya Jaal Hai Kaaya Chaal Mein Fass Gaya Jail Mein PaayaThis web is an illusion, your body is a trap, you fell for the scheme and found yourself in a jail.
The song’s resolution presents a cynical worldview where life is a circus of impostors. A victim is led to their own downfall, much like a sacrificed goat. The “Bakra Halaal” lyrics meaning points to a carefully constructed and inescapable betrayal.
