Badha Parun Jati nai
by Dwarika Lal Joshi
Badha Parun Jati Nai (बाधा परुन जती नै) is a celebrated classic sung by the legendary Nepali vocalist Dwarika Lal Joshi, featuring lyrics penned by the prominent lyricist Dr. Krishnahari Baral. The title translates to "No matter how many obstacles arise," and the track is widely admired for its melodic structure that captures the essence of devotion and unwavering dedication. The song remains a highly regarded contribution to the golden era of modern Nepali music, often appreciated for its traditional orchestral arrangements and emotive vocal delivery.
Thematically, the song is an intense declaration of deep love and resilience in the face of life's hardships. Through poetic verses, the lyrics depict the beloved as a radiant moon lighting up the night sky and a soothing ocean that quenches a thirsty soul ("रात्रीमा जगमगाउने तिमी त्यो चन्द्र हौ..."). The singer repeatedly vows to endure any hardship and flow wherever the beloved goes, promising to remain a mirror reflecting their gaze. This blend of romantic devotion and artistic metaphors has made it a timeless standard, inspiring subsequent generations of artists—including modern singers like Suman Shrestha—to record remixes and contemporary covers of the track.
बाधा परुन जती नै सारा सहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनि रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जती नै सारा सहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनि रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जति नै
रात्रीमा जगमगाउने तिमी त्यो चन्द्र हौ
प्यासीको प्यास मेट्ने शीतल समुन्द्र हौ
रात्रीमा जगमगाउने तिमी त्यो चन्द्र हौ
प्यासीको प्यास मेट्ने शीतल समुन्द्र हौ
जता तिमी बहन्छौ त्यतै बहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनी रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जती नै सारा सहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनि रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जति नै
बसन्त आज सिंगै तिम्रो अधरमा छ
जे छैन यो जगतमा तिम्रो नजरमा छ
बसन्त आज सिंगै तिम्रो अधरमा छ
जे छैन यो जगतमा तिम्रो नजरमा छ
तिम्रो नजरको ऐना बनी रहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनी रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जती नै सारा सहन्छु म
माया गर मलाई भनि रहन्छु म
बाधा परुन जति नै
