Uska Hi Banana

Arijit Singh's 'Uska Hi Banana' is a poignant ballad that delves deep into the themes of eternal love and unwavering devotion. The song's lyrics, rich with emotional intensity, express a profound longing for a beloved, whose presence is desired in every aspect of the narrator's life. The repeated plea to God, 'Aye khuda, jab bana uska hi bana,' translates to 'Oh God, when you made me, make me only for them,' encapsulating the essence of a love that transcends time and existence.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love so consuming that the narrator wishes for their beloved to be a part of every moment, every story, and every breath they take. The lines 'Meri kismat ke har ek panne pe, mere jeete ji baad marne ke' ('On every page of my destiny, in my life and after my death') highlight a desire for an eternal bond that goes beyond the physical realm. This yearning is further emphasized by the metaphor of the beloved being the 'dariya' (river) and the narrator being 'pyaasa' (thirsty), symbolizing an insatiable need for their presence.

The song also touches upon the themes of sacrifice and selflessness. The narrator is willing to endure any pain or hardship as long as it means being connected to their beloved. The lines 'Dil mujhe de agar dard de uska par, uski ho woh hasin goonje jo mera ghar' ('Give me a heart, even if it means pain, as long as her laughter fills my home') reflect a deep sense of devotion and a willingness to embrace suffering for the sake of love. This self-sacrificial love is a recurring motif in the song, making it a powerful ode to the idea of love as a binding, eternal force.

Arijit Singh's soulful rendition adds an extra layer of emotion to the lyrics, making 'Uska Hi Banana' a touching and memorable piece. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the depths of true love and the desire for an unbreakable connection with their beloved.
