Ni Main Kamli Lyrics – Divya Kumar | Sunshine Music

Ni Main Kamli Song Description

This song is "Ni Main Kamli" (नी मैं कमली), sung by Divya Kumar. The music has been composed by Jaspal Singh, and the lyrics are taken from a traditional couplet (kalam) of Punjabi Sufi saint Baba Bulleh Shah. The music video for this song has been shot featuring Ashita Chellengg and Arin Sharma, and it has been released under the music label Sunshine Music. This song is known for its blend of devotion and Sufism, where the word "Kamli" means "mad" — i.e., a person absorbed in love or in God (the Divine).

This song depicts a Sufi love story, where the heroine (or hero) says that she is "Kamli" (mad), and the line 'Haji lok makke nu jaande' means that people go to Mecca for the Hajj pilgrimage, but her Ranjha (beloved) is Mecca himself — meaning her beloved is the center of her worship. The sentiment in 'Main te mang Ranjhe di hoyian' is that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her Ranjha (beloved), and 'Mera baabl karda tabka' means her father scolds or stops her, yet she remains unwavering in her love.

The song's chorus "Ni main kamli, kamli ni main kamli" (Oh, I am crazy, crazy, I am crazy) is repeated over and over, illustrating the state of being immersed in that love. This song is a confluence of Sufi rhythm, Punjabi folk music, and devotional sentiment, with lines like 'Viche haaji, viche gaaji, viche chor uchakka' (In this love are pilgrims, warriors, and thieves alike) giving the message of seeing all kinds of people equally in society — whether they are Hajis, Ghazis, or thieves, everyone is equal in their love. If you enjoy Sufi music and want to understand the couplets of Baba Bulleh Shah, this song is the perfect choice.
