Bhool Chuk Maaf’s Ganga Kinare Lyrics Translation
The speaker feels disoriented, describing himself as hazy in the tune of his affection. He later asks his beloved to fill his empty silences with her words. These lines show a state of deep loneliness that he believes only she can resolve.
Ganga Kinare Jaise SaveraLike the morning on the banks of the ‘Ganga’
Paani Mein Bahti Phoolon Sa ChehraA face like flowers floating on the water
Galiyon Ki Halchal Raunak Shehar Ki TuYou are the pulse of the streets, the life of the city
Tere Mere Hain Milte SitaareOur stars are aligned
Milte Sitaare Saare Ke SaareEvery single one of our stars align
Bole Mohalla Raunak Shehar Ki TuThe whole neighborhood says you’re the life of the city
Teri Chahat Ki Dhun Mein Hoon Dhundhlaya MainI’m lost in the haze of your love’s tune
Lo Mastaya Mastaya Mastaya MainLook, I’m intoxicated, completely intoxicated
Teri Khaatir Zamaane Mein Main AayaI came into this world just for your sake
Haan Aaya Main Main AayaYes, I came, that’s why I came
Maine Bin Tere Kai Din KaateI have passed so many days without you
Poore Ho Chahat Ke GhaateLet the emptiness of this longing be filled
Paane Ki Tujhko Thodi Jaldi HaiI’m in a desperate hurry to have you
Ho Maine Bin Tere Kai Din KaateOh, I’ve passed so many days without you
Baaton Se Bhar Mere SannateFill my empty silences with your words
Paane Ki Tujhko Thodi Jaldi HaiI’m in a desperate hurry to have you
Teri Dhundh Dhundh Mein Doob Doob MeinDrowning in the endless search for you
Ban Malang Main MastayaI’ve become a ‘malang’, a wandering mystic, lost in ecstasy
Dhundh Dhundh Mein Doob Doob MeinDrowning in the endless search for you
Ban Patang Main PaglaayaI’ve become a kite, driven mad
Dhundh Dhundh Mein Doob Doob MeinDrowning in the endless search for you
His search becomes an obsession, causing him to feel like a “malang,” or a wandering mystic. This idea raises his romantic need to the level of a sacred mission. The ‘Ganga Kinare’ lyrics’ meaning comes from how this devotion becomes an overwhelming and all-consuming pursuit.
