“Ek Bagal Mein Chand Hoga, Ek Bagal Mein Rotiyan” Lyrics

Ek bagal mein chaand hoga, Ek bagal mein rotiyan
Ek bagal mein neend hogi, Ek bagal mein loriyan
Hum chand pe roti ki chaadar daal kar so jaayenge,
Aur neend se keh denge, lori kal sunane aayenge

Ek bagal mein khankhanati seepiyan ho jaayengi,
Ek bagal mein kuch rulati siskiyan ho jaayengi,
Hum seepiyon mein bharke saare taare chuke aayenge,
Aur siskiyon ko gudgudi kar kar ke yun behlayenge

Ama teri siskiyon pe koi rone aayega,
Gam na kar jo aayega, wo phir kabhi na jaayega
Yaad rakh par koi anhoni nahi tu laayegi,
Laayegi toh phir kahani aur kuch ho jaayegi

Honi aur anhoni ki parwah kise hai meri jaan,
Hadd se jyada yehi hoga ki yahin mar jaayenge,
Hum maut ko sapna bata kar Uth khade honge yahin,

Aur honi ko thenga dikha kar, khil-khilate jayenge
~ Piyush Mishra (Gangs Of Wasseypur)

“Ek Bagal Mein Chand Hoga, Ek Bagal Mein Rotiyan” Meaning

The meaning for the song “Ek Bagal Mein Chand Hoga” Or “Ik Bagal Mein Chand Hoga” is intense and it is beautifully composed by Piyush Mishra. I think that the song is a philosophy for life.

Ek bagal mein chaand hoga, Ek bagal mein rotiyan
Ek bagal mein neend hogi, Ek bagal mein loriyan
Hum chand pe roti ki chaadar daal kar so jaayenge,
Aur neend se keh denge, lori kal sunane aayenge
~ Piyush Mishra

Literal Meaning ~ Ik Bagal Mein Chand Hoga Lyrics

On one side there will be the Moon and on the other side there will be food. There will be sleep on one side and a lullaby on the other. We will cover the Moon with Bread (food) and will go to sleep. We will console the sleep by saying, we will sing the lullaby tomorrow.

Interpreted Meaning ~ Ik Bagal Me Chand Hoga Meaning

This is how I get the meaning of the song.

There is a comparison between the Moon and the Bread and the sleep and the lullaby. They represent luxury and basic needs. The Moon is the luxury and the bread (food) is a basic need. Sleep is a basic need, whereas, the lullaby is a luxury that is sung to bring the sleep.

The poet says he will choose basic needs over luxury and will console himself. He says he will cover the Moon with bread meaning, he will simply ignore the luxury and give preference to the basic need of life. He will not expect someone to sing lullaby for him, rather, he will go into sleep silently consoling himself that the lullaby will be sung tomorrow.

The poet can imagine the luxuries and pleasures of life. However, he is consoling himself that luxury is not the need of the time. It is a basic need that he should be taking care of.

Ek bagal mein khankhanati seepiyan ho jaayengi,
Ek bagal mein kuch rulati siskiyan ho jaayengi,
Hum seepiyon mein bharke saare taare chhu ke aayenge,
Aur siskiyon ko gudgudi kar kar ke yun behlayenge
~ Piyush Mishra

Literal Meaning ~ Ek Bagal Me Chand Hoga Lyrics

On one side there will be jingling Seashells and there will be some sobbing of he weep. We will go and touch all the stars filled in the Seashell and will console the sobbing by simple tickling.

Interpreted Meaning ~ Ek Bagal Me Chand Hoga Meaning

It seems to me that this is like consoling children and making them happy with simple things. The child longs for high aspirations but can be consoled easily by simple things.

The Seashell is a simple object that anyone can get. A small thing, isn’t it? This means that we will be happy and contained with the small things that we get in our life. Though we have a small world or maybe a lower income, whatever pleasures we can afford we will try to get. It is like being happy with whatever resources we have got.

There will be problems and sadness in life. This is referred to as Sobbing and Weeping in the song. However, we will give ourselves a silly reason to smile and be happy. This is referred to as tickling.

Imagine, if a kid is sad and crying, a simple tickling can make him laugh and make him happy.

Ama teri siskiyon pe koi rone aayega,
Gam na kar jo aayega, wo phir kabhi na jaayega
Yaad rakh par koi anhoni nahi tu laayegi,
Laayegi toh phir kahani aur kuch ho jaayegi
~ Piyush Mishra

Literal Meaning ~ Ik Bagal Mein Chand Hoga Lyrics~

Oh, Mother! someone will come to console you and cry with you when you weep. Do not worry, once someone is there, he will not go back or leave you. But, be careful not to bring any unforeseen or untoward situation. If you do so, the story will be different.

Interpreted meaning ~ Ik Bagal Me Chand Hoga Meaning ~

This means, if you are sad and weeping, someone will come to console and empathize with you. Someone will be there to share your sadness and even cry with you. Once he is there, he will not leave and he will always be there. However, remember that you do not ask him something impossible or untoward to fulfill your dreams. If you do so, the story will change.

The poet Piyush Mishra says that there will be someone to console you but, do not ask for something that you dream of. If you demand it, the person can go to the extreme and do anything to get it for you. He may fight and struggle and then that will be a different situation where you would need to keep aside the basic needs.

The happiness which was being achieved with the small things will go away. There will be constant struggle and happiness with going away. When we long for the Moon, the pleasure of bread will be gone. When we search for the lullaby, the sleep will be gone. When we long for the stars, the small pleasure will be sacrificed.

Honi aur anhoni ki parwah kise hai meri jaan,
Hadd se jyada yehi hoga ki yahin mar jaayenge,
Hum maut ko sapna bata kar Uth khade honge yahin,
Aur honi ko thenga dikha kar, khil-khilate jayenge
~ Piyush Mishra

Literal Meaning ~ Ik Bagal Mein Chand Hoga Lyrics~

Who cares about the circumstances, whether it is foreseen or unforeseen? At the extreme what will happen? We will die here. But, we will rise again defying death as a dream. And, we will tease the circumstances and laugh at them.

Interpreted Meaning ~ Ik Bagal Me Chand Hoga Meaning ~

If there is a demand from you, we will not care what the circumstances are. We will do anything to fulfill your demands. But, at the extreme, it might happen that we will die struggling to fulfill our dreams. However, death is not the end. If I die, there will be someone to replace me, and will walk on the path to fulfill my dreams. This is the meaning of “I rise again”.

I feel that this is somewhat of an inspiration. We will defy the death and will treat it as a mere dream. We will rise again if the wishes are not fulfilled. A wish or dream makes a human brave enough not to fear death. He tries to tease death at every stage and laugh at it.

But, all this will happen for luxury and near to impossible demands. The core of the poem is a basic need.

Overall Summary of the Song ~ Ek Bagal Mein Chand Hoga ~

This song emphasizes the importance of basic needs. It compares basic needs with luxury. It is to console oneself if he cannot achieve luxury. Be happy with whatever you have got.

If you have desires for luxury, there will be a price to pay. There will be sacrifices to be made. However, if your desire is strong enough to achieve something, you will not be scared of death even.
