Kyun Jaage Lyrics – Jasleen Aulakh | Bawri Chhori

Kyun Jaage Song Description

This song is "Kyun Jaage" (क्यूँ जागे), which has been sung, composed, and written by Jasleen Aulakh. This song is from the movie "Bawri Chhori" , which features artists like Aahana Kumra, Rumana Molla, Vikram Kochar, Niki Walia, and Sagar Arya. The music labels are Eros Music and Sony Music India. This song is a deeply thoughtful one that speaks to the mind (manva).

At the beginning of the song, it is asked: "Kyun jaage mere manva tu, so ja re mere manva tu" (Why are you awake, my mind? Go to sleep, my mind) — meaning why is the mind awake, go to sleep, because in this world you have no place of your own. This is an attempt to reason with the mind, because it is lost, silent, and frightened. The song says that in this world, there is no real home for you; you are trying to build a nest here for no reason, but there is no one who appreciates you or is your companion. So the mind is asked, "Tera wujood kya hai?" (What is your existence?) — you are in the crowd but alone.

Further, the song speaks of a different world — one of dreams. There, fakirs, carefree mystics (mast malang), and free birds live — there are no walls, no boundaries of temples or mosques, but the doors of taverns (maykhanas) are open. The song says that whatever you ask from Allah there, it can also be received through the name of Ram, and whatever you ask from Ram, Allah also gives. That gathering is of the mad ones, where you will dance and sing to your own tune. The song repeats again and again: "Tham ja re manva" (Stop, my mind) — meaning, mind, stop and listen to that world of dreams, where true peace lies. In the end, it is said again: "So ja mere manva tu, ke aankh teri bhi khul jaaye" (Go to sleep, my mind, so that your eyes too may open) — meaning when you sleep, only then will your real eyes open and you will be able to see that world.
