UD MataaKali MataaKali
Aye Masakali MasaKali
Ud Mataak Kali Mataak Kali

The song "Masakali" by Mohit Chauhan is a joyful and energetic song about freedom and flight. The lyrics metaphorically compare the girl to a "Masakali," a bird that moves freely in the sky without any inhibitions. The opening lines of the song "Aye Masakali MasaKali, Ud MataaKali MataaKali" can be translated to mean "Hey Masakali (bird), fly high and up in the sky" and it sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The subsequent lyrics describe the act of flying and exploring new places without any restrictions, and urges the girl to do the same. The phrase "Zara phank jhatak gai dhool atak aur lachak machak ke dur bhatak" means "shake off the dust and fly away with freedom." The lyrics also touch upon the idea that true happiness comes from within, and that we should follow our hearts and instincts without worrying about societal norms and restrictions.
The song also includes a small reference to Indian classical music in the line "gagan ki basuri se hai," which talks about the girl's relationship with the "flute of the sky" or the universe. Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat tune that encourages listeners to spread their wings and fly without any fear or apprehension.
