The Fall
Jasleen Royal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
बेवफ़ा है मंज़िल भी
फ़ासला फ़ासला
कोई दे मिटा
है ये ही दुआ
आखिरी ना हो
ये अलविदा
तूफ़ान तूफ़ान ज़िंदगी
बेवफ़ा है मंज़िल भी
फ़ासला फ़ासला
In the song "The Fall" by Jasleen Royal, she poetically expresses the idea that life can be tumultuous like a storm, and even the destination that we aim for can betray us. The lyrics "तूफ़ान तूफ़ान ज़िंदगी बेवफ़ा है मंज़िल भी फ़ासला फ़ासला" can be interpreted to mean that life is always changing and unpredictable, and even if we reach our desired destination, it may ultimately disappoint us. The songwriter laments the distance between people and the obstacles that prevent us from fully connecting with others in the lines "कोई दे मिटा है ये ही दुआ आखिरी ना हो ये अलविदा" which means "someone erase this distance, this is my only prayer, let this not be a final goodbye."
Throughout the song, Jasleen's voice is soft and almost fragile, conveying a sense of vulnerability and longing. The minimalist music highlights her emotion and allows her lyrics to shine. Overall, the song is a reminder to appreciate the present moment and cherish the people in our lives because life can be fleeting and unpredictable.
