Sajni from Laapataa
Ladies as an Example of a Kajari
It has been established by
tradition that the Kajari is sung by a lovelorn lady pining for her lover and
the popular examples of this genre support this practise. But the male of the
species is also affected by the pangs of separation and Bollywood has
innumerable iconic songs portraying this male anguish. Sajni from Laapataa
Ladies is one of the latest additions to this list. What brings this
haunting Arijit Singh background song closer to a Kajari is the reference to
clouds and rain, one of the prime elements of a Kajari.
English Translation of the Lyrics Sajni from Laapataa Ladies
O my darling
On strands of time I clutch
How do we get in touch
Painful is the yearning
O my darling
On strands of time I clutch
How do we get in touch
Painful is the yearning
O my darling
On strands of time I clutch
I miss you very much
Painful! Painful is the yearning
I miss you very much
Painful! Painful is the yearning
The grey
clouds forbode some distress
The rain heightens my loneliness
O tell me how I can supress
The deluge o’erflowing in my breast
I can’t live without your caress
O my darling
The rain heightens my loneliness
O tell me how I can supress
The deluge o’erflowing in my breast
I can’t live without your caress
O my darling
On strands of
time I clutch
How do we get in touch
Painful is the yearning
How do we get in touch
Painful is the yearning
O my darling
On strands of time I clutch
How do we get in touch
Painful! Painful is the yearning
On strands of time I clutch
How do we get in touch
Painful! Painful is the yearning
Original Lyrics of Sajni from Laapataa Ladies
Ho sajni re
Kaise katey din raat
Kaise ho tujhse baat
Teri yaad satave re
Ho sajni re
Kaise katey din raat
Kaise mile tera saath
Teri yaad teri yaad satave re
Kaise
ghanere badra ghire
Teri kami ki baarish liye
Sailaab jo mere seene mein hai
Koi bataye ye kaise thame
Tere bina ab kaise jiye
Ho
sajni re
Kaise kate din raat
Kaise ho tujhse baat
Teri yaad satave re
Kaise katey din raat
Kaise ho tujhse baat
Teri yaad teri yaad satave re

Wow, I read your Thaade Rahiyo one, you're a beautiful transcreator, that was written in 2009 when I was just 7 years old. Times has passe away. These days there's a lot of turmoil, I'm going through but songs heal me. Thanks
