🎵 Kis Liye Maine Pyaar Kiya - Lata Mangeshkar

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया, दिल को यूँही बेक़रार किया

शाम सवेरे तेरी राह देखी रात दिन इंतज़ार किया

Love which people fall in. love, which destroys people. 

Love a thing people blame yet can’t get out of it.

‘Why did I even love a person who couldn’t reciprocate it back?’ is often a question people like you come across, don’t you? 

My friend, you’re not alone and don’t blame yourself. It happens and you go with the flow not knowing the ultimate consequence. Your heart feels heavy, I know. Just like Ayesha, a girl who loved a person too deeply, one sided love which gave her pain, only pain. She often wonders why she fell in love but she never regrets it. 

Ayesha is courageous to admit her feelings at least. Are you the same? She tries to admit her feelings and questions herself at the same time via this beautiful song, sing with her and cherish the person you’ve loved. 

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया दिल को यूँही बेक़रार किया

शाम सवेरे तेरी राह देखी रात दिन इंतज़ार किया

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया

She loved, loved and loved. Who needs a reason to fall in love? Noone right. So she did, followed her heart and loved that someone so deeply. She got lost in thoughts of him all day, all night, every moment every second of it. She waited for him to reciprocate those same feelings but did he? 

Love tests your patience, and you wait patiently for your possible soulmate to adapt feelings like you do. But ah, only if life was this easy. 

The question remains… why did i love? 

आँखों में मैं ने काजल डाला, माथे पे बिंदिया लगाई

ऐसे में तू आ जाए तो

क्या हो

A woman in love dresses up. Dresses, jewellery, makeup is said to adorn a woman, to make a girl feel like a woman. The different types of energy she sparks after falling in love. And if her lover compliments her, her entire day lights up, doesn't it? 

Ayesha did the same. She had put kohl in her eyes, a bindi in the centre of her forehead and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pretty, and she waited for him to come and compliment her beauty. 

छुप के मुंह में अरमानों ने ली कैसी अंगडाई

कोई देखे तो क्या समझे हो जाए रुस्वाई

She had desires like a woman does hiding in her heart secretly. Because woman are told to love, only after marriage. But does love take your permission? Obviously not

But she can’t risk it letting someone else know she loves. Pyaar and iqraar before marriage almost looked like a crime right now. And ayesha can’t bear this risk right now. She stares at her beautifully adored figure and sighs. 

मैं ने क्यों सिंगार किया, दिल को यूं बेक़रार किया

शाम सवेरे तेरी राह देखि, रात दिन इंतज़ार किया

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया

For reasons she adored herself failed once again. He didn’t came, he didn’t complimented her but she still dressed up, for him. 

Again the next day, she dreams of him day and night, at work at home, in dreams and in reality because.. She was in love.

But again… why did she fall in love?

आज वो दिन है तदपि बनके राधा

आज मेरे मन की बेचैनी बढ़ गई और ज़्यादा

She was restless and now hoped what she feared didn’t come true. But when was this universe on the side of a hopeless one sided lover, probably never? She dressed up in blue, his favourite color, put his favourite perfume and applied kajal. Because he had liked kajal, she remembers still. She walks to the destination where she was supposed to reach and wait for hours, and hours. 

प्यार में धोखा न खा जाए ये मन सीधा-सादा

ऐसा न हो झूठा निकले आज मिलान का वादा

She started fearing more. What if the second thoughts came true? No no, she convinced herself and waited for another hour and finally the sun started setting. 

It was not the sun of the universe setting, it was the sun of her life setting down, which will now not rise unlike the universe’s sun. 

It came true

It was always one sided love

Not from both ends

मईने क्यों ऐतबार किया दिल को यूँही बेक़रार किया

शाम सवेरे तेरी राह देखी रात दिन इंतज़ार किया

Stupid, she calls herself for trusting that guy, for giving into everything, for that one person who doesn’t cares, who never cared, who just played a facade game with her, and in the end even won. 

She lets the tears dry on her face.

This was the aftermath of loving a person?

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया दिल को यूँही बेक़रार किया

शाम सवेरे तेरी राह देखी रात दिन इंतज़ार किया

किस लिए मैं ने प्यार किया.

She loved, loved and loved. Day and night, 24/7 thought of a future together and end up getting what? Betrayed? 

Probably love was a mistake, a mistake she vowed to never do again.

But at the end the question still remains…

why did she love? Kis liye maine pyaar kiya?

अब कुछ न बचा तुझे इक खोने के बाद

न दर्द न ख़ौफ़ न नफ़रत और न ख़्वाब - Pinterest
