Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Javed Ali's song Ali Baba express the pain and confusion of unrequited love. The repetitive use of "Rabba ve," which can be translated to "Oh God," highlights the singer's plea for help and understanding. The opening lines, "Bba ve, Rabba ve," set a somber tone before the first verse begins.


In the first verse, the singer questions why their dreams are haunted by the object of their affection. They wonder why their heart feels lonely and their tongue is silenced in the presence of this person. The use of ashkon (tears) indicates that the singer is overwhelmed with emotion and unable to express themselves fully.


The chorus, which repeats twice throughout the song, emphasizes the pain that the singer is feeling. They exclaim "Kyun dard hai itna. tere ishq mein" ("Why does love hurt so much?") and call out to God for help. The repetition of "Rabba ve" creates a sense of desperation and sorrow.


Overall, Javed Ali's Ali Baba expresses the universal experience of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The use of repetition and questioning emphasizes the singer's confusion and distress.
