Oonchi Oonchi Deewarein

Arijit Singh's 'Oonchi Oonchi Deewarein' is a poetic exploration of love's depth and the challenges that come with it. The song begins with a repetition of the word 'Ishq' (love), emphasizing its significance and omnipresence. The lyrics compare love to the divine, suggesting that love is as pure and essential as the presence of God, and as fundamental as water to life. This metaphorical comparison elevates love to a spiritual level, indicating that it is a force that transcends the physical world.

The title 'Oonchi Oonchi Deewarein,' which translates to 'High High Walls,' symbolizes the obstacles that lovers often face. The song speaks of overcoming these barriers to be with the beloved. It suggests that one must bring all their joys, form bonds, and share conversations and nights together to truly experience love. The imagery of 'saath kangan leke aana' (coming with bangles together) and 'laal joda pehne aana' (coming dressed in a red outfit) alludes to traditional Indian wedding attire, hinting at the commitment and union that love entails.

The song also touches on the theme of destiny and divine will in love, with lines that speak of asking God for one's desires and being heard. It reinforces the idea that love is a sacred bond between two hearts, one that must be nurtured and cherished. The lyrics call for a deliberate escape from the world to honor this relationship, suggesting that love requires dedication and sometimes, a departure from societal norms to flourish.
