Cover of Kailash Kher

Teri Deewani is truly an uniquely beautiful song. Sung by Kailash Kher, it is a song by a woman for her lover. The annotations of the song being sung by a man actually give it so much character that it might possibly have not been as melodious if it was sung by a woman.

Kailash Kher is one of the few Indian singers that have a very Indian voice. His enunciation of words is soothing to the ears and its the magic of his voice that adds so much to the songs he sings.

Teri Deewani talks about the madness of love and how it can at times become selfish. It talks about celebrating and about losing oneself. The video of the song is also very beautiful and adds a different perspective to the song.

Preeth ki lath mohe aaisi laagi
Ho gayi main matwari
Bal Bal jaaun apane piya ko
Ke main jaaun vaari vaari

The buzz of love has hit me such
I feel lost, with nowhere to go
I want to go and meet my lover
Or else want to sacrifice myself

Mohe sudh budh naa rahi tan mann ki
Yeh toh jaane duniya saari
Bebas aur laachar phiru main
Haari main dil haari

Now I have no control over my body and mind
And the whole world knows this
I roam around helpless and without direction
I have lost my heart

Tere naam se jee loon
Tere naam se marr jaaun
Teri jaan ke sadke mein kuchh aaisa kar jaaun
Tune kya kar dala, marr gayi main, mitt gayi main
Ho ri ha ri ho gayi main
Teri deewani deewani

I will live by your name
I will die by your name
To be with you I can do anything for you
What you have done to me; The ego in me has died; been erased;
Yes, I have become
Yours, I have become mad for you

Ishq junoon jab hadh se badh jaaye
Haste haste aashiq suli chadh jaaye
Ishq ka jaadu sara chadha kara bole
Khoob laga lo pehre raste rab khole

When the wildness of love crosses all the limits
The lovers hang themselves with smile
The magic of love overpowers the mind and proclaims
You may guard (the paths) but the lord will create a way

Yahi ishq di marzi hain
Yahi rab di marzi hain
Tere bin jeena kaisa
Haan khudgarzi hai

This is the will of love
This is the will of God
Without you, How can I live ?
Yes I know, this is the selfishness

He main rang rangeeli deewani
Ke main albeli main mastani
Gaaun bajaaun sabko rijhaaun
He main deen dhram se begaani
Ke main deewani main deewani

I became crazy and play in all colors
I am innocent, mad and wild
I sing, I dance, I make everyone happy
Now I don’t follow any religion or rules of society
Because I am mad and crazy in love
