Dhol Bajaa Meaning & Lyrics (Darshan Raval | Prakriti Giri)
The poet describes dancing like a flying kite, swaying freely in the breeze. A line that stands out is, ‘My heartbeat started racing when you looked at me and smiled.’ The lyrics mix colorful imagery of henna, blue eyes, and a moon-bird’s gaze, creating a vivid celebration of love and tradition.
Nachunga Aise Udti Patang JaiseI’ll dance just like a flying kite,
Jhoomein Hawaon Ke Sangswaying along with the breeze.
Na Mujhko Roko Na Mujhko TokoDon’t stop me or question me,
Main Hoon Masti Mein Mast MalangI’m lost in this joyful trance.
Ae Nachunga Aise Udti Patang JaiseHey, I’ll dance just like a flying kite,
Jhoomein Hawaon Ke Sangswaying along with the breeze.
Na Mujhko Roko Na Mujhko TokoDon’t stop me or question me,
Main Hoon Masti Mein Mast MalangI’m lost in this joyful trance.
Meethi Baaton Se Neeli Aankhon SeWith your sweet words and your blue eyes,
Mujhko Kheenche Hai Tu Apni Oreyou’re pulling me toward you.
Thoda Atrangi Thoda SatrangiA bit eccentric and a bit colorful,
Saare Milke Machaye Yeh Shoreveryone together is making this noise.

Dil Ki Dhadkan Meri Tez Hone LagiMy heartbeat started racing,
Jab Mujhe Dekh Tu Muskuraayiwhen you looked at me and smiled.
Mujhko Lagta Hai Toone Mere Naam KiI think you’ve applied ‘henna’
Apne Haathon Mein Mehendi Lagaayito your hands with my name on it.
Socha Na Tha Teri Baaton Mein AaungiI didn’t think I’d be charmed by your words,
Ab Toh Main Bhi Fisalne Lagi Hoonbut now even I’m starting to fall.
Chhod Kar Saari Duniya Ki Rasmein PiyaLeaving all the world’s traditions behind, my love,
Main Teri Ore Chalne Lagi HoonI’ve started walking toward you.
Tere Chehre Ko Tak Raha Hai DilMy heart is staring at your face,
Jaise Chanda Ko Dekhe Chakorlike a ‘moon-bird’ gazes at the moon.
Thoda Atrangi Thoda SatrangiA bit eccentric and a bit colorful,
Saare Milke Machaye Yeh Shoreveryone together is making this noise.
