Kajar Bin Kare - Karsh Kale feat Salim Merchant, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

Kajar Bin Kare is an homage to Ustad Sultan Khan. Salim Merchant had written this track with Sultan Khan and both he and Karsh felt strongly that it was the right kind of track to perform on Coke Studio @ MTV. Karsh had worked with Sultan Khan before as part of Tabla Beat Science. This song features Ustad Sultan Khan's son Sabir Khan on the saarangi in what is an emotional reminiscing of the time Karsh and Ust. Sultan Khan performed.

Lyrics:
Gori tohre naina
Gori tohre naina
Kajar bina kare
Gori tohre naina
Kajar bina kare

Gham hai kamaal
Naina rasile
Gham hai kamaal
Naina rasile
Ghayal kiyo maara jeeyara re
Kajar bina kare

Gham hai kamaal
Naina rasile
Gham hai kamaal
Naina rasile
Ghayal kiyo jeeyara re
Kajar bina kare

Aaaaaaahhh... jeeya ho... ho...

Meaning:
The poet is enchanted by the intoxicating looks of a beautiful woman. Her simple ways are so charming that, the Poet is completely awestruck.
He confesses to have fallen for her charms- hook, line and sinker. The pull in her eyes can't let him stay away from her. He longs to take a passionate journey though her mystical eyes and can't bear the pain of separation...for he is hopelessly in love.
