Song – कैसी रतियाँ (Kaisi Ratiyaan) – Reflections of the Soul !
Written and Sung by : Kuhoo Gupta
Composed, Programmed and Mixed by: Rishi S


Lyrics (I have written the English transcript and translation of the lyrics below for those who do not understand/read Hindi/Devnagari script. Please do read!)

<dialogue>
वो कौन सा दौर था, जब ओस की दो बूंदों को
मैंने एक सुबह, पत्ते पर अलग अलग देखा था.
वो कौन सी हवा थी जिसने,
उस पत्ते को ज़रा डाल से झुकाया था,
और बूँदें अनजाने ही ढलक कर एक हो गयी थीं.
पहरों पहर बीत गए उस सुबह के बाद,
उस सुबह, उस हवा ने जैसे मुझसे नाता तोड़ लिया है.
हर पहर गहरी रात सा लगता है.
गाढे अँधेरे को दोस्त मान,
मैं उसे किस्से सुना, अपने आंसूं रिस लेती हूँ.
क्या करूँ धूप है बाहर फिर भी,
मेरा आँगन सीला सा लगता है,
मेरा जीवन सूना सा लगता है ….
</dialogue>


<मुखड़ा>
कैसी रतियाँ हैं ये, भीगी अँखियाँ हैं ये
कोहरा बनती छंटती, यादें बूदें हैं ये

</मुखड़ा>


<dialogue>
बड़ी जोर की बारिश थी उस रात,
बादल और पानी, अपनी आवाजों से बेधड़क लड़ रहे थे.
बड़ी देर वो प्यार से भिड़ते रहे,
रात भर बदन उनके थिरकते रहे.
उन्हें भी नहीं पता चला होगा,
कब सुबह होते होते वो थक कर, शांत हो सो गए थे.
एक बादल और बारिश का जोड़ा जो बाहर था,
एक तेरा मेरा वो जोड़ा अन्दर था.

तृष्णा ही अब लगे है….
</dialogue>


<अंतरा>

चाहतों में लिपटी वो रात,
सिमटी आगोश में मैं तोसे
खोल घुँघर, मोरी बांधी
रात के पैरों में.
भोर तक ज़ोर नाची रात,
छन से उसने घुंघरू तोड़े,
मैं और तू हुए हम.
</अंतरा>


<dialogue>
हम दोनों ने सिलाई बन, लम्हों को बुनकर यादों का जो स्वेटर बनाया था,
उसे पहन आज कल बिस्तर पर तनहा पड़ी रहती हूँ.
आज की रात मैं प्यार करुँगी,
तुझसे नहीं, तू है नहीं.
चादर पर सलवटें बना लूंगी,
वैसी ही जैसी तू बनाता था,
खिडकी की हवा मेरी लट उसी तरह उड़ाएगी,
जैसे हौले से अपने हाथों से उठाकर,
उसे मेरे कानों के पीछे, तू छुपा कर रख दिया करता था….
</dialogue>


<अंतरा>
मन ये जले है, मन मोरा जले है.
देखूं तोरी आस, पौ भी फटे ना,
लुढके जो बूँदें, जले हैं
थामी थी बैय्याँ मैंने, मुट्ठी अब भी कसे है,
हवा जो छुए, गर्म हो उड़े
</अंतरा>


<dialogue>
ना जाने क्या बात है, उदासी आज ज्यादा है,
साथ तेरा आज भी नहीं है, पर तन्हाई आज ज्यादा है.
आज मेरी आंखों में उजाला कम, अँधेरा ज्यादा है.
कैसे समझाऊँ इस दिल को, जो तेरे नाम से धड़कता है,
धड़कन तो है मगर मायूसी ज्यादा है.
इन दिनों को काश मैं नींद में गुजार पाती,
आंखों में क्या करूँ, आज नींद कम, अश्क ज्यादा हैं ….
</dialogue>

English Transcript | Meaning of the lyrics

<dialogue>
wo kaunsaa daur thaa, jab os ki do boondon ko | when was that stretch of time, when I saw two dew drops
maine ek subah, patte par alag alag dekhaa thaa. | one morning, sitting far apart on a leaf
wo kaunsii hawaa thii jisne | what was that air
us patte ko zaraa Daal se jhukaayaa tha | which slightly bowed the leaf from that branch
aur boondein anjaane hii dhalak kar ek ho gayi thin | and the dew drops unknowingly merged into each other
pahron pahar beet gaye us subah ke baad | ages have elapsed after that morning
us subah, us hawaa ne jaise mujhse naataa toD liya hai. | that morning, that air, seems to have broken that relationship with me
har pahar gahrii raat saa lagtaa hai. | every time of the day seems like a dark night to me.
gaadhe andhere ko dost maan | making that dense darkness my dear friend
main use kisse sunaa, apne aansoon ris leti hoon. | I recite to it my stories, I give away my tears
kyaa karoon dhoop hai baahar fir bhi | what do I do, there is a sunny weather outside, but still
meraa aangan siilaa saa lagtaa hai | the doorway to my home seems damp
meraa jeevan soonaa saa lagtaa hai …. | my life seems deserted
</dialogue>

<mukhdaa>
kaisi ratiyaan hain ye, bheegi ankhiyaan hain ye | what kind of nights are these, with moist eyes
kohraa bantii chhaTatii, yaadein boodein hain ye | fog forms and goes off, our memories are like dew drops
</mukhdaa>

<dialogue>
badii zor ki baarish thi us raat | there was a heavy rain that night
baadal aur paani apni aawaazon se bedhaDak laD rahe the | clouds and water were fighting with each other and making noises
baDii der wo pyaar se bhiDte rahe | they kept on teasing each other lovingly
raat bhar badan unke thirakte rahe | their bodies danced that whole night
unhein bhi nahi pataa chalaa hoga | they themselves might not have realized
kab subah hote hote wo thak kar, shant ho so gaye the | when the dawn broke and and they became silent and slept off
ek baadal aur baarish ka joDaa jo baahar tha | there was that couple of cloud and rains outside
ek tera mera wo joDaa andar tha | there was we, a couple inside.
trushnaa hi to ab lage hai …. | everything looks like a mirage now ….
<dialogue>

<antaraa>
chaahaton me liptii wo raat | that night was draped with desires
simTii aagosh me main tose | you had embraced me totally
khol ghungar mori baandhii | you opened my anklet and put it on to
raat ke pairon me | night’s feet
bhor tak zor naachi raat | night danced to its heart till dawn
chhan se usne ghungru toDe | when it broke its anklet with a “chhan” sound
main aur tu, hue hum | that very moment, you and me became one
</antaraa>

<dialogue>
hum dono ne silaai ban, lamhon ko bunkar, yaadon ka jo sweater banaya tha | we both weaved the moments together and made a sweater of our remembrances
use pehen aajkal bistar pe tanhaa paDii rahti hoon | I wear that sweater these days and lay on my bed all alone
aaj ki raat main pyaar karoongi | tonight I will make love
tujhse nahi, tu hai nahi | not with you, you are not with me
chaadar par salwaTein banaa loongi | will make creases on the bed
waisi hi jaisi too banaataa tha | just the same as you used to make
khiDkii ki hawaa meri laT usi tarah uDaayegi | breeze from the window will blow my hair strand in the same way
jaise haule se apne haathon se uthaakar | just as you used to gently pick up my hair strand from your hand
use mere kaanon ke peeche, too chupaakar rakh diyaa kartaa tha | and used to hide it behind my ears
</dialogue>

<antaraa>
man ye jale hai, man mora jale hai | heart burns in flames, my heart burns in flames
dekhoon tori aas, pau bhi faTe na | I keep waiting for you, dawn does not break for me
ludhke jo boondein jale hain | the drops which flow down, they burn on their way
thaami thi baiyyan maine, mutthi ab bhi kase hai | I held your hands back then, the grasp is still so tight
hawaa jo chue, garm ho uDe | the wind which touches it, becomes warmer on its way
</antaraa>

<dialogue>
na jaane kya baat hai, udaasi aaj jyada hai | I do not know why, but it seems gloomier today
saath teraa aaj bhi nahi, par tanhaai aaj jyada hai | you are not with me today as well, but it seems lonelier today
aaj meri aankhon me ujaalaa kam, andhera jyada hai | today there is lesser light in my eyes, and more of darkness
kaise samjhaaon is dil ko, jo tere naam se dhadaktaa hai | how do I make my heart understand, that beats on your name
dhaDkan to hai, magar maayoosi aaj jyada hai | heart beats are there, but I am more heartsick today
in dino ko kaash main neend me guzaar paati | I wish I could spend all this time sleeping
aankhon me kya karoon, aaj neend kam, ashq jyada hain | but alaas …. what do I do, in my eyes, I have less of sleep, and more of tears today
</dialogue>

Dear Kuhoo,

I loved your singing and dialogues…. The dialogues were done really well. The composition of the song is well. I am a bit unhappy with the orchestration but since this is not the full song yet…. can’t elaborate on that :D…. Regarding the lyrics…. I read through the entire poetry…. there are places where i loved it a lot…. there are places where i felt it was not connected(It was more like a river which was flowing perfectly fine and then loses its way suddenly…. and hence loses its beauty :D)

मुझे तो इसके शब्द ही सबसे अच्छे लगे, और कुहू ने यहाँ आशा जी की याद दिला दी अपनी गायकी से….गीत में बहुत सी उथल पुथल है भावनाओं के पूरा उमड़ता समुन्दर है, सब बहुत ही खूब है….मैं बस ये सोच के हैरान हूँ कि ऋषि ने इतने लंबे गीत को कैसे किया होगा :) एक दिन तो पूरा लगा होगा उन्हें इसे पूरा पढ़ने में हा हा हा……ऋषि जी देखिये एक मैं ही नहीं हूँ लंबे गीत लिखने वाला

Sajeev ji……aap shayad yeh baat bhool gayae ki yeh mehfil mix hai aur lyrics sae jyada poetry hai ismae ! Regular mix ka length around 4mins he hai, jo mere gano ka max length hotha hai :). Mehfil mix ka full length 6.20 hai!

One more fact that has to be mentioned to the audience is that this song was written to a tune which originally had different lyrics on it. Great job by Kuhoo!

Fantastic song………. Fantastic poetry :)

Bada hi romantic/sensuous song hai ye :) Kisi male lyricist ke liye ye likhnaa badaa mushkil hotaa… Kuhoo ji ne jabardast likhaa hai ise… Badhaii ho…

Rahi baat Kuhoo ji ki singing aur Rishi ji ke music ki…. to Naya kya bolunga main…. (Main to khud in dono ka fan hoo)

Congrats again!

@Rahul, your comments very well taken. Hopefully you will be more convinced after listening to the full song about the orchestration :) Where exactly did you feel the lyrical disconnect, I would like to know to help me improve for further writings.
