A BACHAA DANCER ( Male ) IN A KASHMIRI MARRIAGE

KASHMIRI MEHNDIRAAT SONGS HAVE ALSO GONE BOLLYWOOD WAY … POOR IN THOUGHT AND CONTENT .

Some days back I attended a Mehndiraat Function of a marriage ceremony wherein folk singers from Anantnaag were arranged by the host . Once the dinner was over , the singers sang some popular foot tapping songs so as to make guests Dance. As usual nowadays ,the foot tapping music overrides the lyrics. Where have the singers of GULREZ gone ? Where have the listeners of GULREZ gone ? I quote the new Mehndiraat songs..

1

Dupatta Goamayee aabuss ,

Dariyaavus Taraan Taraan ..

( My Dupatta slipped into the water

While I was crossing the river .)

2

Shroin Shroin Kar Tai Roannie Daamanus

Az Baaijaanus Chha Maaenziraat..

(Tinkle the bottoms of your Apparel

My brother is having his Mehndiraat today )

3

Maaenz haai Laaejikh Kamun Kamun

Maanzi Namum Mubarak..

( Every one has used Henna today

Bless these henna Dyed nails )

I remember the old songs upon which over ladies would also go sentimental , dance and perform Hikkat ..

Roshee valo Myaani Dilbaro

Poshan Bahaar Aav Yuur valo …

( Come my love this way !

The spring flowers are again around . )

Jaan Vandayo Yaari Jaanaanaai

Maaeji Maaleun Yeli Chhu Aasaanaai

Raaja Maaleun Teili Chhu Basaanaai

Maaej Panaai Chha Tasalaa Divanaai..

Jaan Vandayo Yaari Jaanaanaai………..

( This life for you ,My Love ! My friend !

When mothers are around  for their  daughters ,

The daughters feel regal .

For Mothers only know and console them in their pain..

This life for you ,My Love ! My friend )

Hiye Me Goadd Deut Baag Nervunaye

Sheyee Reit Draays Baazaar Kunaye

Samkhaan Samakhum Bub Panuniye

Loat Loat Huetmuss seer Baavuniye

Vyoth Vyoth Logamuss Oush Traavuniye

Sheerus Heutanum Athha Daaluniye

Dopanumm Koorie Ye Chhu Tchaaluniye

Gutchh Gutchh Koorie Gurr Panuniye

Maaleini Gaaeri Chhuna Kenh Laaruniye

Baayi Maaleun Guvv Baael Maaleuniye

( A Daughter who is having some   trouble  in her inlaws house comes to her father .   While relating her woes , the daughter  weeps inconsolably. The father Put his affectionate hand over her head. He then expresses his helplessness. He  advises her to go back to her in laws house . The conversation makes   them  sentimental. )
