Barabar Timro Mero Maya
by Hari Bansha Acharya, Sukmit Gurung
"Barabar Barabar" is a beautiful and nostalgic melody from Haribansha Acharya’s multi-faceted musical repertoire. Widely celebrated as a legendary comedian and actor alongside his partner Madan Krishna Shrestha (the iconic Maha Jodi), Acharya has also contributed significantly to Nepali music with his distinct voice. This track stands out as a heartwarming expression of equal, shared affection, capturing the simple yet profound philosophy that true love thrives only when both partners contribute equally ("barabar"). Acharya's vocal delivery infuses the song with a warm, conversational, and genuinely organic charm that instantly connects with the common listener.
Musically, the song embodies the classic era of Nepali modern and semi-folk adhunik music, relying on a soulful arrangement of traditional instruments like the flute and harmonium to ground its melody. Unlike contemporary fast-paced tracks, it maintains a soothing, rhythmic cadence that allows the romantic and reassuring theme of the lyrics to take center stage. Decades after its initial release, the song remains a cherished favorite among fans of vintage Nepali music, serving as a testament to Haribansha Acharya's incredible versatility not just as a master entertainer, but as an artist capable of capturing deep human emotions through song.

केटि:भान्छा कुरी रन्छु तिमलाइ सङै भात खाने
भात खाइ भाडा माझ्छु तिमी हाल्देउ पानि
काम थोरै फुर्सद धेरै गारो दिन काट्न्

घरमा आउछु तिमिलाइ देख्छु सारा थकाइ भाग्छ
लछिन छ तिम्रो मुहार सधै मुसु मुसु
स्वर्ग जस्तै लाग्छ घर निन्द्रा भुसु भुसु
केटि: तिम्रो इलम सिकाइदेउन म पनि सघाउछु
पढिलेखी के काम लाज्ञो म पनि कमाउछु
घर व्यहार कर्तव्य सबै मिलिजुलि
दुइजनाकै मिहेनतले जिवन झिलिमिलि
बराबर नारी पुरुश हामी बराबर्
बराबर सुखदुख बाडौ बराबर
दुबै: तिम्रो माया ९९ सय मेरो मय १००
१ थप्छु म पनि हुन्छ २००
बराबर तिम्रो मेरो माया बराबर्
बराबर सुख दुख बाडौ बराबर्
