Ina Meena Deeka
Kishore Kumar Lyrics

इना मीना डीका डाई डामनिका
This is a playful way of starting the song, using nonsensical syllables to grab the listener's attention.

मका नका नका चिका पिका रिका
Continuing with the playful theme, these syllables are used as a kind of nonsense rhyme, without any deeper meaning.

इना मीना रिका डीका डे डाई डामनिका
Repeating the opening phrase, still without any specific meaning – it's just fun to say.

माका नाका माका नाका चिका पिका रोला रिका
More playful nonsense syllables, again used purely for their sound and rhythm.

रम पम पोश रम पम पोश
Still continuing the playful start to the song – these syllables don't really have any meaning, but they're fun to say and help create a lighthearted atmosphere.

दिल बेचूं है कोई लेने वाला
This line is essentially a poetic way of saying 'I'm lonely and looking for someone to love'.

ऐसे वैसे को नहीं देने वाला
The singer clarifies that he's not interested in just anyone – he has certain standards and won't give his heart away easily.

सुरतियाँ हसी हो उमरिया जवान हो
He wants someone who's beautiful and young, with a good sense of humor.

कोई भी उसे देखे तो बस ये गुमान हो
He's so proud of this person that he wants everyone to see her and be jealous of him for having her.

यही है यही है यही तो है वो
Here the singer asserts that the person he's describing is the one he's looking for – there's no one else like her.

इना मीना डीका
Another repetition of the opening phrase, which is essentially just a catchy hook by this point.

हे इना मीना डीका
The singer repeats the phrase again, encouraging the listener to join in with the fun.

हे डाई डामनिका
These syllables don't have much meaning, but they're fun to sing and help maintain the playful tone of the song.

हो मका नका नका
Continuing with the catchy nonsense syllables, which add to the song's overall lighthearted, joyful feel.

हे चिका पिका रिका
Still more of the same – these nonsensical syllables are chosen for their sound, not their meaning.

इना मीना रिका डीका डे डाई डामनिका (इना मीना रिका डीका डे डाई डामनिका)
This is just a repeating refrain, designed to keep the listener engaged and entertained.

माका नाका माका नाका (माका नाका माका नाका)
More fun nonsense syllables, to keep the playful tone of the song going.

चिका पिका रोला रिका (चिका पिका रोला रिका)
Still more of the same – these lines don't really have any specific meaning, but they're fun to sing and keep the rhythm of the song going.

रम पम पोश रम पम पोश (रम पम पोश रम पम पोश)
The song's playful, rhythmic opening refrain makes another appearance.

मत सोचो कि सस्ता है सौदा
The singer is warning the listener not to think that love is a cheap commodity – it's precious and should be treasured.

फल पाये लगाएगा जो पौधा
He's implying that true love will bear fruit, just as a healthy plant will bear fruit eventually.

दिल की ये क्यारी बनेगी फुलवारी
The singer's hope is that his lonely heart will eventually bloom and find love.

ये दुनिया जलेगी जलन की है मारी
He's saying that people will be envious when he finds this love, but he's confident in what he's looking for.

हँसेगी हँसेगी हँसेगी मेरी प्यारी
He's looking forward to being happy with the person he loves.

ये शर्ते तो बड़ी है ज़रूरी
The standards he's set for potential partners are high, and he's not willing to compromise on what he wants in a relationship.

जो कोई करेगा इन्हें पूरी
He's waiting for someone who can satisfy his standards and make him happy in the long term.

मै ख़ुशी ख़ुशी उसे ये दिल दे दूंगा
He's saying that he's prepared to give his heart to the right person and make them happy for the rest of his life.

क़सम खा रहा हूँ कि दाम भी न लगा
He's swearing that he won't ask for anything in return for his love – it's a selfless, pure kind of love.

मगर ये कहूँगा मगर ये कहूँगा
He's making a promise that he'll still make this person happy, even if he gets nothing in return.

क्या
The song ends abruptly on this syllable, without any further meaning attached to it.
