raat ki rani Meaning & Lyrics (Arooj Aftab | Khruangbin)
Arooj Aftab writes about the night-blooming jasmine and its spell. She mentions shimmering eyes and finding comfort in the moment. A key line is ‘The night-blooming jasmine arrives, spreading its spell.’
Raat ki rani aate hi chha gayiThe ‘night-blooming jasmine’ has arrived and spread its spell.
Pata tha yeh hoga lekin phir bhiI knew this’d happen, but even so,
Raat ki rani aate hi chha gayithe ‘queen of the night’ took hold the moment she arrived.
Pata tha yeh hoga lekin phir bhiI’d expected this, yet regardless,
Chamakti nigaahon ka hua kaafi saamnaI’ve faced those shimmering eyes many times,
Behal jaaun isi mein itna hai kaafifinding solace in this is enough for me.
Raat ki rani aate hi chha gayiThe ‘night-blooming jasmine’ has arrived and spread its spell.
Pata tha yeh hoga lekin phir bhiI knew this’d happen, but even so,
Chamakti nigaahon ka hua kaafi saamnaI’ve met those shimmering eyes quite a bit,
Behal jaaun isi mein itna hai kaafigetting lost in this moment is all I need.
Raat ki rani aate hi chha gayiThe ‘night-blooming jasmine’ has arrived and spread its spell.
Pata tha yeh hoga lekin phir bhiI knew this’d happen, but even so,
Raat ki rani aate hi chha gayithe ‘queen of the night’ took hold the moment she arrived.
Pata tha yeh hoga lekin phir bhiI’d expected this, yet regardless,
Chamakti nigaahon ka hua kaafi saamnaI’ve crossed paths with those shimmering eyes enough,
Behal jaaun isi mein itna hai kaafifinding comfort in this is plenty for me.
