First Class

First Class

Touch on each word to display its meaning

[ First-Class ]

[First-Class]

mere hoThoN se dhuaaNdhaar nikaltii haiN jo bolii

jaise jaise baNduuq kii golii

mere tevar meN hai tahziib kii rangiin rangolii

jaise jaise ho iid meN holii

[ all stanza x2 ]

The smoking words that issue from my lips

are like bullets of a gun

In my stance, there is the sophistication of a colorful rangoli

like Holi in Eid

[all stanza x2]

mere jiivan kii dashaa

thoRaa raastoN kaa nashaa

thoRii manzil kii pyaas hai

baaqii sab [ first-class ] hai [ x3 ]

These are the circumstances of my life

There is a little intoxication of the road,

a little thirst of destination

Everything else is first-class [x3]

pal meN tolaa , pal meN maashaa

jaisii baazii vaisaa paasaa

apnii thoRii haT ke duniyaadaarii hai

karnaa kyaa hai chaaNdii sonaa

jitnaa paanaa utnaa khonaa

ham to dil ke dhaNdhe ke byaapaarii haiN

At moments it is a tola, at moments it is a masha

For like bet, like dice

My mundaneness is a little different

What to do (with) gold and silver?

So much gained, that much lost

I am the merchant of the business of the heart

merii muskaan lie kabhii aatii hai subaH

kabhii shaameN udaas haiN

baaqii sab [ first-class ] hai [ x3 ]

haaN , qasam se

baaqii sab [ first-class ] hai

For my smile's sake sometimes mornings come

and sometimes evenings are sad

Everything else is first-class [x3]

Yes, I swear!

Everything else is first-class

ho sab ke hoThoN pe charchaa teraa

baNTtaa galiyoN meN parchaa teraa

yuuN to aashiq haiN laakhoN magar

sab se uuNchaa hai darjaa teraa

Rumors of yours are on everyone's lips

a (love) letter of yours is distributed in the alleys

There are hundreds of thousands of lovers like that, but

your category is of the highest order of all

merii taariif se chhuptii phir badnaamiyaaN merii

jaise jaise ho aaNkh michaulii

mere tevar meN hai tahziib kii rangiin rangolii

jaise jaise ho iid meN holii

My scandals hide commendations

like a game of hide-and-seek does

In my stance, there is the sophistication of a colorful rangoli

like Holi in Eid

mere jiivan kii dashaa

thoRaa raastoN kaa nashaa

thoRii manzil kii pyaas hai

baaqii sab [ first-class ] hai [ x3 ]

haaN , qasam se

baaqii sab [ first-class ] hai ,

haaN

These are the circumstances of my life

There is a little intoxication of the road,

a little thirst of destination

Everything else is first-class [x3]

Yes, I swear!

Everything else is first-class

Yes!

About this song

Singers: Arijit Singh, Neeti Mohan
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Music: Pritam
On screen: Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt

First Class (in English in the original) is a song from the 2019 Indian period drama film "Kalank".

The movie narrates the story of several characters interrelated by kinship in the city of Lahore in 1946, the times before the Partition of India.

The main characters in the video clip are Zafar, a careless, womanizing Muslim man (interpreted by Varun Dhawan), who starts a relationship with Roop, a Hindu woman (played by Alia Bhatt) who had to agree to a loveless marriage.

Roop is shown practicing dance and classical Indian singing under the supervision of Bahaar Begum, a brothel madam (interpreted by the Indian actress and dancer Madhuri Dixit). Meanwhile, Zafar dances in the streets accompanied by an all-male troupe of dancers, boasting about his carefree lifestyle.

In a later scene, Roop is shown in what seems to be an engagement ceremony with the fiancé, Dev, Dev's father Balraj, and Satya, the former wife of Dev, who had exacted from Roop the promise of marrying Dev because she is dying.

Dev's character is played by the actor Aditya Roy Kapur, Dev's father Baraj is played by the actor and producer Sanjay Balraj Dutt and Satya is interpreted by Sonakshi Sinha; all three are Indian.

Zafar had started his relationship with Roop as an act of vengeance against Baraj because he had abandoned him and his mother after beginning a relationship with Bahaar Begum; Dev is the offspring of that relationship.

The dancing and singing continue as Roop, followed by a troupe of female dancers, joins Zafar and his group, and proclaims her love for him.

Then, Bahaar Begum comes out into the street from the portals of some big residence, and Zafar, upon seeing her, leaves the dance in anger.

This song is interpreted by the singers Arijit Singh for the male parts, and Neeti Mohan for the female parts. It was composed by the famous musical director Pritam. The lyrics were written by the playback singer Amitabh Bhattacharya.
