Bande Hain Shankar Ke Lyrics – Sohail Sen | Guns Of Banaras

Bande Hain Shankar Ke Song Description

This song "Bande Hain Shankar Ke" (बंदे हैं शंकर के) is from the film "Guns Of Banaras" , featuring artists like Karan Nath, Nathalia Kaur, Vinod Khanna, and Zarina Wahab. This song is sung by Sohail Sen, who has also composed the music, while the lyrics are written by Sameer Anjaan. The music label is Zee Music Company. The song begins with "Om Om, Shanti hi Shanti hi" (Om Om, only peace, only peace), which creates a calm and spiritual atmosphere.

In this song, "Bande Hain Shankar Ke" means that these people are devotees of Lord Shankar (Shiva), who walk the path of truth and are raised and nurtured in Kashi (Varanasi). They call themselves "Guns Of Banaras" , meaning the gunmen of Banaras. Then comes a Sanskrit shloka "Namo Vah Pitaro Raasaya..." which is dedicated to the ancestors (Pitrs) and adds depth to the song.

Further, the song says that these people are simple and innocent, hold no enmity with anyone, but if someone unnecessarily confronts them, their end is certain. There is a hidden fire within them, which turns into a flame (shola) when provoked. This song shows the balance between peace and power – on one hand, devotion and simplicity, and on the other, the spirit of becoming fire when needed.
