"Nukta cheen" means one who criticizes. Who is criticizing? The beloved. "Ghame dil" means the sadness of the heart.
In the second line (1) "kya bane baat" means can't succeed in his aim (2) "Baat banana" means to satisfy someone or to answer somebody's complaint.
Meaning: As the beloved has the habit of criticizing all the time, I am unable to show him the condition of my sad heart. Because I cannot satisfy him that is why I cannot succeed in my aim.
@yusafvideo Many thanks to you for taking the time and effort. I have heard this song numerous times, but only after reading your posting did I find it even more celestial!
Thank you rsrividya for your favorable comments. I like Mirza Ghalib's ghazals and I interpreted these verses as I understand them. Surayia's magical voice made these verses even more appealing. I am glad that you like my posting.
Meaning: O beloved, my rival is roaming with your letter in such a way that if somebody asks him what it is, he will be forced to reveal your name. This will bring you a bad name. Therefore, refrain to write him any letter in the future.
"Kisi per ban jana" is an Urdu idiom which means to suffer a misfortune or someone is forced to do something. "Jazba" means passion, strong desire or love.
Meaning: I am calling my beloved but I have no hope that he will care to come. I, therefore, appeal to my strong and passionate love to influence him in such a way that he is forced to come.
"Aatish" means fire. The poet compares the passion of love to fire.
Meaning: The passion of love is so strong that we have no control over it. We cannot kindle the flame of love in somebody's heart nor can we extinguish this fire if somebody is already in love. In other words, we cannot make somebody love or quit loving.
So beautiful, wrenches and wrings my heart. Why does this type of music not exist anymore? What has happened to Bollywood? How can something devolve? Desis and the entire Bollwood industry are so phony now.
