Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Khule tena de bhaag kalub ander
Jinna ne kita ishq qubul miya

Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Aape ranjha hoyi
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Aape ranjha hoyi
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Heer na aankho khoyi
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main

Ranjha mere vich
Main ranjhe vich
Ranjha mere vich
Main ranjhe vich
Aur khayal na koi
Main nahi oho aap hai apni
Main nahi oho aap hai apni
Aap kare dil joyi
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Aape ranjha hoyi
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Heer na aankho khoyi
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main

Adh khundi mere aage
Adh khundi mere aage
Mang mote bola lohi
Bola heer saleti vekho
Bola heer saleti vekho
Ke ith jakh royi
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
Aape ranjha hoyi
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Sado ni mainu kido ranjha
Heer na aankho khoyi
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main




Ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha ranjha
Ranjha ranjha kardi ni main

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kavita Seth's song "Ranjha" tell the story of a woman who is deeply in love with someone named Ranjha. She repeats his name multiple times in the chorus, indicating the intensity of her feelings for him. The first verse mentions a place called Kalub and uses imagery of open fields ("khule tena de bhaag") to describe the vastness of the singer's emotions. The second verse establishes a connection between the singer and Ranjha, saying that they are both "ranjha" (lovers) and that there are no other thoughts in her mind except for him. She even says that he is a part of her, and that her heart is filled with joy because of him.


The third verse adds more detail to the story, mentioning a place called Adh Khundi where Ranjha apparently said something to the singer, causing her to cry. This verse is more open to interpretation, but it could be suggesting that there are obstacles in their relationship that Ranjha caused or that Ranjha is not fully committed to the singer. However, the chorus remains consistent throughout the song, expressing the singer's undying love for Ranjha.


Overall, "Ranjha" is a beautiful and poetic song about the all-consuming, passionate love one can experience for another person. The repetition of the name "Ranjha" emphasizes the centrality of that love in the singer's life, and the use of natural imagery like fields and rivers creates a sense of vastness and depth to their emotions.
