Intehaa Meaning & Lyrics (Yawar Abdal)
Yawar Abdal writes about a fleeting guest and a flickering lamp. He includes the line, ‘I seek the very limit of your love.’ The performer describes a bold heart seeking divine refusal.
Koi dum ka mehman hoon ae ahl-e-mehfilI’m a guest for just a fleeting moment, O ‘ahl-e-mehfil’ (people of the gathering),
Charagh-e-sahar hoon bhuja chahata hoonI’m like a morning lamp that’s flickering out, ready to be extinguished.
Ye jannat mubarak rahe zahidon koLet the ‘zahidon’ (pious ascetics) keep their promised paradise,
Ki mein aapka saamna chahta hoonsince I only long to stand face-to-face with you.
Meri saadgi dekh kya chahta hoonLook at my innocence and see what I’m asking for,
Tere ishq ki intehaa chahta hoonI’m seeking the very limit and pinnacle of your love.
Woah woah woah woahWoah woah woah woah
Zara sa to dil hoon magar shokh itnaI’ve got a tiny heart but it’s so incredibly bold,
Wohi lantarani sun’na chahta hoonI want to hear that same ‘lantarani’ (Divine refusal) once again.
Meri saadgi dekh kya chahta hoonLook at my innocence and see what I’m asking for,
Tere ishq ki intehaa chahta hoonI’m seeking the very limit and pinnacle of your love.
Bhari bazm mein raaz ki baat kehdiI’ve revealed a secret right in the middle of this crowded assembly,
Bada be adab bada be adab hoonI’m so impudent, truly I’m so disrespectful,
Bada be adab hoon saza chahta hoonI’ve been so bold that now I’m asking for my punishment.
Meri saadgi dekh kya chahta hoonLook at my innocence and see what I’m asking for,
Tere ishq ki intehaa chahta hoonI’m seeking the very limit and pinnacle of your love.
Woah woah woah woahWoah woah woah woah
