Neend Ke Shikaare Lyrics – Shilpa Rao | Baramulla

Neend Ke Shikaare Song Description

This song "Neend Ke Shikare" is a special part of the movie Baramulla, which stars Manav Kaul and Bhasha Sumbli in the lead roles. The song is voiced by Shilpa Rao and was composed and produced by Shor Police (Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes), while the lyrics were written by Siddhant Kaushal. Its melody is adapted from a traditional Kashmiri folk song called "Hukus Bukus", which gives it an authentic Kashmiri feel. The song's lyrics are very simple and sweet, providing a soothing, lullaby-like comfort to the listener, and it is available on Zee Music Company. 

The song's lyrics paint a beautiful and calm picture of putting a child to sleep. Lines like "Beet gaye wo din sunahre, gehri hai andheri raat" (Those golden days have passed, the night is deep and dark) evoke memories of happier times gone by, while "Dar mat, tu na hai akeli, ye sab jo hai tere saath" (Don't be afraid, you are not alone, all of this is with you) provide a sense of security and companionship. It incorporates elements of nature like "Lori gaati waadiyaan, aur barfili pahadiyaan" (The valleys sing a lullaby, and the snowy hills) to create a tranquil and serene atmosphere. The repeated phrase "Neend ke shikare pe aa" (Come to the hunters of sleep) invites the listener towards slumber. 

The subsequent lyrics feature lines such as "Meri gudiya moonnd le ankhiyaan, tu sun rimjhim barasat" (My doll, close your eyes, listen to the pitter-patter of the rain), which call for sleep with the gentle sound of rainfall, and "Haule se kahe ye boonden - haan, beetegi ye raat" (These droplets softly say - yes, this night will pass), offering reassurance that the night will end soon. There are also references to Kashmiri culture, like "Chanar ki sab tahniyaan" (All the branches of the Chinar tree) and "Pheran ki almariyan" (The closets of Pherans), which give the song regional authenticity. Finally, lines like "Khwab ke shikare pe aa" (Come to the hunters of dreams) and "Ruhon ki wo narmiyaan" (That tenderness of the souls) depict a deep emotional connection and dreams of freedom, making this song not just a lullaby, but a comforting and soulful experience.
