Musafir
Akash Shravan | Yashraj • From “Takiya Kalaam”
What is the meaning of Musafir Lyrics from Takiya Kalaam?
Akash Shravan questions societal judgments with the line, ‘Why do you keep searching for flaws in these travelers?’ The poet mentions torn pages and hollow buildings, using them as symbols of personal growth and transformation. The lyricist weaves a tale of struggle and resilience, making every word count.
Kyun Musafiron MeinWhy do you keep searching
Dhundhe Khamiyan Tufor flaws in these travelers?
Goonje Wadiyon SeVoices echo from the valleys,
Log Sareaamas people shout in the streets.
Tu Hairan Pareshan KyunWhy are you so shocked and confused?
Haan Musafir Hoon MainYes, I’m a traveler.
Jaanta Qaabil Hoon MainI know I’m capable of this.
Jeetna Zahir Toh PhirSince victory is inevitable,
Chhod Tu Anjamstop worrying about the outcome.
Pehle Jaan Tu Anjaan Nayi HaiFirst realize that being a stranger isn’t something new.
Munh Chala Raha Woh Awara Jo Bhi Bola Banta NaaraThat wanderer is running his mouth, but everything he says becomes a slogan.
Jo Pitara Bin Sahara Khula Bolta Hi Jaa RahaThat treasure box with no support keeps opening and speaking its mind.
Pehla Gaana Likha Socha Yeh Main Hui NayiWhen I wrote my first song, I thought I’d become someone new.
Faade Panne Bhadaas Mein Woh Bol Mujhe Chhuye NayiI tore up those pages in frustration because the words didn’t move me.
Pehchan Mein Nayi Aa Raha Woh Saamne Kaun Hai Aaine MeinI can’t recognize the person facing me in the mirror.
Ghaate Mein Imaan Agar Likh Raha Tu Fayde SeYour integrity is at a loss if you’re only writing for profit.
Maayne Samajh Tu Apne Bol Ke Saare Parde Khol DeUnderstand the meaning of your words and tear down all these curtains.
Saamne Honge Das Ya Hazaar Bas Tu BolWhether there are ten or a thousand people in front of you, just speak.
Ladka Woh Mota Sa Baitha Tha Jabhi School MeinThat chubby kid used to just sit there in school.
Likhta Kitabon Ke Peeche Na Kabhi Bhool SeHe’d write on the back of his books, never forgetting a thought.
Harkatein Aisi Galat Cheezon Se Mashhoor TheHe was known for all the wrong habits and mistakes.
Tajurbe Ki Koi Baat Nayi Bas Khudse Kaafi Door TheThere was no talk of experience then; he was just so distant from himself.
Doosri Mein Hindi Fail Ab Aake Woh Padhaaye PaathHe failed Hindi in second grade, but now he’s the one teaching lessons.
Pehle Tha Bada Hi ShantHe used to be so quiet.
Baje Ab Kadhai SaathBut now the rhythm of the struggle beats alongside him.
Kaisi Yeh Ladai Mere Bhai Bas Ek Hi SawaalMy brother, what’s this fight even about? I’ve only got one question.
Kyun Musafiron MeinWhy do you keep searching
Dhundhe Khamiyan Tufor flaws in these travelers?
Goonje Wadiyon SeVoices echo from the valleys,
Log Sareaamas people shout in the streets.
Tu Hairan Pareshan KyunWhy are you so shocked and confused?
Haan Musafir Hoon MainYes, I’m a traveler.
Jaanta Qaabil Hoon MainI know I’m capable of this.
Jeetna Zahir Toh PhirSince victory is inevitable,
Chhod Tu Anjamstop worrying about the outcome.
Pehle Jaan Tu Anjaan Nayi HaiFirst realize that being a stranger isn’t something new.
Musafiron Ki Aadatein Ajeeb SiTravelers have these strange habits.
Na Ek Jagah Thikana Sab Chhodenge Bas Naseeb Pe HiThey don’t stay in one place; they leave everything to fate.
Iska Matlab Nayi Ke Kare Nayi KarmThat doesn’t mean they don’t do the work.
Teri Yeh Khokhli Imaartein Bana Dete GharThey can turn your hollow buildings into a home.
Par ShayadBut maybe,
Tujhe Laga Munh Pe Hansi Hai Bahutyou thought I was always smiling.
Isko Toh Mila Sab Aasani SeThat I got all of this easily,
Yeh Likhna Bas Shaukand that writing is just a hobby.
Main KehtaI say,
Aankhon Ke Saamne Jab Jeete Tum Khaufwhen you’ve lived through fear right before your eyes,
Tabhi Toh Laggte Saare Hard Rapper Kaafi Hi Softthat’s when all those ‘hard’ rappers start to look pretty soft.
Main Hansta Munh PeI laugh in their faces,
Poochun Kaise Chheenenge Yeh Asliyatasking how they’ll ever steal this reality from me.
Rapper Zyada Dost Nahin But Jo Bhi Hai They Call Me UpI don’t have many rapper friends, but the ones I have always call me up.
Aaisa Na Koi Paida Hua Jiski Poori Saaf NiyatNo one’s ever been born with a perfectly pure heart.
Toh Main Bhi Jaanta Kaun Hai Mere Bhai Aur Baaki Jo Bhi Ho HaanSo I know who my brothers are, and for the rest—well, it is what it is.
Yeh Sar Mein Chapte Zindagi Ke Pन्ने Aur Hum Likhte JaateLife’s pages are printed in my mind, and I just keep writing them down.
Phir Unhin Pannon Pe Ho Dastakhat Aur Phir Bikke KhaateThen those same pages get signed and then the books start to sell.
Woh Toote Vaade Bas Guzarne Pe Hi Laut Aane SeBroken promises only return once you’ve passed on.
Accha Ki Jeete Ji Tum Karlo BaateinIt’s better that you speak your mind while you’re still alive.
Aaj Tere Saamne Khada HoonI’m standing here before you today,
Mujhe Kal Ka Pata Nahinbut I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
Hamari Nayi Shuruat HaiIs this our new beginning,
Ya Meri Aakhiri Kahanior is it my final story?
Aaj Tere Saamne Khada HoonI’m standing here before you today,
Mujhe Kal Ka Pata Nahinbut I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
Hamari Nayi Shuruat HaiIs this our new beginning,
Ya Meri Aakhiri Kahanior is it my final story?
Aaj Tere Saamne Khada HoonI’m standing here before you today.
