About this song

Lyrics

Abida Parveen

jab se tuune mujhe diivaanaa (Hindi: जब से तूने मुझे दीवाना, Urdu: جب سے تونے مُجھے دِیوانہ), often titled with its full first verse, jab se tuu ne mujhe diivaanaa banaa rakkhaa hai (Since You Have Made me Love-Crazed), is a famous ghazal written by the Urdu poet Hakim Nasir

It was musicalized and made popular by the Pakistani Sufi singer Abida Parveen.

The video clip is a modern "cover" of the same song, made by the Pakistani band Khamaaj.

The ghazal is about a man who goes crazy because of unfulfilled love.

The allusions to stones and stoning are probably inspired in the traditional Eastern love story "Manjun Laila", as in some of the versions, Manjun is condemned to be stoned, or it simply could mean that people use stones to shoo him away, as he becomes alienated.

The "Nasir" near the final verses is the poet addressing himself, because traditional ghazals require that the poet do so in the final couplet. This is somewhat obscured by Khamaaj's interpretation. This is probably because the band plays to an audience who is already very familiar with the original.

The full ghazal in the original order (which makes more sense) is as follows:

jab se tuu ne mujhe diivaanaa banaa rakkhaa hai saṁg har śaxs ne haathoN meN uThaa rakhaa hai

Since you have made me love-crazed

people have taken up stones in their hands

uske dil par bhii kaRii ishq meN guzrii hogii naam jis ne bhii mohabbat kaa sazaa rakhaa hai

Severe things would have happened onto the heart

of he who decided to name love as punishment

patthroN aaj mere sar pe barste kyuuN ho maiN ne tujhko bhii kabhii apnaa xudaa rakhaa hai

Why do you rain stones on my head today?

I have once even esteemed you as God

pii jaa ayyaam kii talxii ki bhii hamNs kar, naasir Gam ko sahne meN bhii qudrat ne mazaa rakkhaa hai

Drink up even the bitterness of the days with a smile, Nasir

In enduring of sorrow, too, the Providence has put joy
