The Meaning and Explanation of Aarambh
About Veer Rasa
Aarambh Hai Prachand is inspired by the emotion of Veer
Rasa—the emotion of valour, which is relatively rare in Bollywood music. Veer
Rasa is a powerful emotion that emerges from inner strength and manifests as
courage, heroism, pride, and unshakable resolve. In Indian classical drama,
this emotion is often associated with the colour pale red, symbolizing energy and vitality.
The most iconic expression of Veer Rasa is found in
war, where a soldier fulfils his duty without seeking victory or fearing death.
It is the embodiment of duty, steadfastness, and sacrifice. The song reflects
this core message, which aligns with Lord Krishna's teachings in the Bhagavad
Gita, delivered during the Mahabharata.
About Aarambh Hai Prachand
Written by Piyush Mishra, Aarambh Hai Prachand
serves as the title track for the offbeat Hindi film Gulaal. The word Gulaal
refers to the vermilion powder applied to the forehead before going into
battle, symbolizing both the preparation for conflict and the sacredness of the
cause.
Though there is no literal war in Gulaal, the song
plays in the background during a local election, which in the film is portrayed
as a symbolic battle for power. The election is a microcosm of the larger
political war, highlighting themes of ambition, betrayal, and struggle.
Interestingly, the song later found a place in Baahubali
2: The Conclusion, where it was used in a more literal war sequence, further
amplifying its association with the themes of valour and battle. Its intense energy, portrayed through a pulsating marching beat, and
stirring call to action perfectly complement the epic scale of the war depicted
in the film.
The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Arambh Hai Prachand
The start is stormy,
boisterous is the army
Today is the time to roar
the fierce battle cry
The start is stormy,
boisterous is the army
Today is the time to roar
the fierce battle cry
A matter of pride with
death we ride
Our life on the tip of
an arrow will lie
The start is stormy,
boisterous is the army
Today is the time to roar
the fierce battle cry
A matter of pride with
death we ride
Our life on the tip of
an arrow will lie
The start is stormy
On a whim he takes
life, on a whim he forsakes life
Of them all he alone
is the very best
On a whim he takes
life, on a whim he forsakes life
Of them all he alone is
the very best
This is what Krishna
said, this is Gita’s message
That war is a
soldier’s final test
The Kauravs and others
or five Pandav brothers
Who succeeds in war is
the greatest
No lust for victory,
no pressure on anybody
This life is nothing,
just kick it away
Death is not the end
then why fear death my friend
Loudly from the skies
this message convey
The start is stormy,
boisterous is the army
Today is the time to roar
the fierce battle cry
A matter of pride with
death we ride
Our life on the tip of
an arrow will lie
The start is stormy
Be it compassion, or valorous
action
Or defeat’s
depression, what do you want
Be it compassion, or valorous
action
Or defeat’s
depression, what do you want
Or on your forehead victory’s
colour is spread
Colour that is red, what
do you want
With courage move
ahead, unwavering you tread
Be prepared for bloodshed,
what do you want
The poet who imagines
life to be a romantic song
Today that poet you
must decry
That which flows in
your veins, that which streams from your pores
Flaunt that flame till
it reaches the sky
The start is stormy,
boisterous is the army
Today is the time to roar
the fierce battle cry
A matter of pride with
death we ride
Our life on the tip of
an arrow will lie
The start is stormy
The start is stormy
The start is stormy
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Aarambh Hai Prachand from
Gulaal
Aarambh hai prachand,
bole mastakon ke jhund
"Aaj jung ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do"
Aarambh hai prachand,
bole mastakon ke jhund
"Aaj jung ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do"
Aan, baan, shaan ya ki jaan ka ho daan
Aaj ek dhanush ke baan pe utaar do
Aarambh hai prachand,
bole mastakon ke jhund
"Aaj jung ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do"
Aan, baan, shaan ya ki jaan ka ho daan
Aaj ek dhanush ke baan pe utaar do
Aarambh hai prachand
Mann kare so praan de,
jo mann kare so praan le
Wahi toh ek Sarvashaktiman hai
Mann kare so praan de, jo mann kare so praan le
Wahi toh ek Sarvashaktiman hai
Krishna ki pukaar hai,
yeh Bhagavata ka saar hai
Ki yuddh hi veer ka pramaan hai
Kauravo ki bheed ho ya Paandavo ka need ho
Jo lad saka hai wohi toh mahaan hai
Jeet ki hawas nahi,
kisi pe koyi vash nahi
Kya zindagi hai, thokaron pe maar do
Maut ant hai nahi toh maut se bhi kyun darein?
Yeh jaake aasmaan mein dahaad do
Aarambh hai prachand,
bole mastakon ke jhund
"Aaj jung ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do"
Aan, baan, shaan ya ki jaan ka ho daan
Aaj ek dhanush ke baan pe utaar do
Aarambh hai prachand
Ho daya ka bhaav, ya
ki shaurya ka chunaav
Ya ki haar ka woh ghaav, tum yeh soch lo
Ho daya ka bhaav, ya ki shaurya ka chunaav
Ya ki haar ka woh ghaav, tum yeh soch lo
Ya ki poore bhaal par jala rahe vijay ka laal
Laal yeh gulaal, tum yeh soch lo
Rang Kesari ho ya, mridang Kesari ho
Ya ki Kesari ho taal, tum yeh soch lo
Uss kavi ko aaj tum nakaar do
Bheegti nason mein aaj, fulti ragon mein aaj
Jo aag ki lapat ka tum baghaar do
Aarambh hai prachand,
bole mastakon ke jhund
"Aaj jung ki ghadi ki tum guhaar do"
Aan, baan, shaan ya ki jaan ka ho daan
Aaj ek dhanush ke baan pe utaar do
Aarambh hai prachand
Aarambh hai prachand
Aarambh hai prachand
