Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ओरे मनवा तू तो बावरा है
तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है
तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है बावरे
क्यूँ दिखाए सपने तू सोते जागते
जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
कैसे मैं चलूँ
देख न सकूं
अनजाने रास्ते
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा
धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा इकतारा
धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा

सुन रही हूँ सुधबुध खो के कोई मैं कहानी
पूरी कहानी है क्या
किसे है पता
में तो किसी की हो के
ये भी न जानी
रुत है ये दो पल की या रहेगी सदा
किसे है पता
किसे है पता किसे है पता
जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
कैसे मैं चलूँ
देख न सकूं
अनजाने रास्ते
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा इकतारा
धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा

Overall Meaning

The song "Iktara" by Kavita Seth is a beautiful tribute to the mystery of life and to the interconnectedness of all things. The lyrics express a sense of wonder and awe at the infinite possibilities that exist, and a desire to explore the unknown paths that lie ahead. The first stanza addresses the mind as though it is a wild, crazy thing that can't be tamed, and suggests that it alone knows what it truly thinks. There is a sense of playful curiosity throughout the song, as Kavita invites the listener into a world of imagination and dreams.


The second stanza speaks to the fleeting nature of life, and the mystery of what happens after we die. The singer wonders what their story is, and whether anyone will ever know it. The line "ruth hai ye do pal ki ya rahegi sada" expresses this sense of impermanence – the idea that everything is temporary and fleeting. The repeated refrain of "iktara" throughout the song is a reminder that all things are connected, and that we are all part of a larger, universal pattern.


Overall, "Iktara" is a beautiful, reflective song that encourages the listener to embrace the unknown and to explore the mysteries of life.

ओरे मनवा तू तो बावरा है
Oh my heart, you are an innocent fool


तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है
Only you know what you think


तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है बावरे
Only you know what you think, oh innocent one


क्यूँ दिखाए सपने तू सोते जागते
Why do you show dreams while awake or asleep?


जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
Those dreams that rain like droplets


नैनों को मूँद मूँद
That close the eyes


कैसे मैं चलूँ देख न सकूं अनजाने रास्ते
How can I walk on unfamiliar paths that I cannot see?


गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा इकतारा
There's an echoing single note floating


गूंजा सा है कोई इकतारा
There's an echoing note floating


धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा इकतारा
Someone whispers a single note


धीमे बोले कोई इकतारा
Someone whispers a note


सुन रही हूँ सुधबुध खो के कोई मैं कहानी
I listen, losing myself in someone's story


पूरी कहानी है क्या
What is the complete story?


किसे है पता में तो किसी की हो के ये भी न जानी
Who knows, I may belong to someone, but even I don't know


रुत है ये दो पल की या रहेगी सदा
Is this a momentary season or will it last forever?


किसे है पता किसे है पता
Who knows, who knows?

When Ranbir did this film in 2009, he was a totally newcomer acting opposite to Konkona Sen Sharma who at that time has been already 9 year in the industry with two film fare awards. Ranabir acting so naturally opposite Konkona, nobody could say he was a newcomer. He justified his role in the film. It actually does not matter how anyone gets a role, the person has to actually act and prove his or her capacity.

Remember, Bullshit can take you to the top but cannot keep you over there. Ranbir is a good actor, which is why he is still there.
