“Tu Banja Gali Banaras Ki” – In the Heart of Banaras


 

“Tu banja gali Banaras ki,” a melodious gem from the film Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, sung by the talented Asees Kaur, invites us to wander through the vibrant streets of Banaras, where every corner resonates with rich history and cultural significance.

Featuring the heartfelt performances of Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Kharbanda, this song beautifully encapsulates the essence of love, longing, and the charm of togetherness that transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

The poem captures the essence of love in Banaras by illustrating the serene ghats and vibrant bazaars, blending the beauty of the setting with heartfelt emotions, ultimately creating a nostalgic symphony that resonates with listeners.


 

In the lanes where twilight softly falls,
Your name echoes through ancient walls,
As the Ganges flows, carrying dreams,
In every ripple, love’s light beams.

Become a lane of Banaras for me,
Where every heartbeat sings so free,
I’ll sleep next to the banks of the river,
Waking up refreshed, feeling a shiver.

Become the moon, so bright and rare,
I’ll bind you in my tresses, a treasure to wear,
In the fragrance of jasmine, hopes arise,
Beneath the expanse of starlit skies.

With arms around you, I’ll hold you tight,
So you won’t wander into the night,
Grab me from my home, let’s run away,
Together we’ll dance at the break of day.

Through joys and sorrows, hand in hand,
In rain and shine, together we stand,
In your embrace, I wish to be found,
Lost in your essence, love knows no bound.

The evening bells, a gentle chime,
Echo the rhythm of our rhyme,
The chatter of markets, songs of the night,
Guide our steps in the soft moonlight.

Let the bells of Kashi ring our vows,
In this sacred space, love gently allows,
Tied together for eternity’s song,
In the embrace of Banaras, where we belong.


 

In the timeless city of Banaras, love grows amidst the sacred and the mundane, creating cherished memories and deep connections. The journey mirrors the flow of the Ganges, embodying both calm and turbulence, yet always beautiful. Together, we craft an eternal love story that transcends time.
