Akhian Noon Rehn De Akhian De Kol Kol - Atif Aslam, Reshma

Recently I was going through Atif's song on youtube and suddenly I came across this song akhiyan nu rehn de, I wondered as I had never heard of this song in his albums. Well later I found that it was sung in an award function as a tribute to Reshma.
So in that awards function there were a couple of more songs of Reshma dedicated to her one being Lambi Judai by atif and Ni mein chori chori by Shehzaad Roy. Both are damn good. After these two comes Akhiyan nu rehn de. And it rapidly spread from my ears, through my veins till my heart and I decided this song deserves a post.
Simply amazing lyrics beautifully sung by reshman. And Atif too has done complete justice to the song.

Atif's Version

Akhiyan nu rehn de by songsnexpressions


Akhian Noon Rehn De Akhian De Kol Kol is a folk song originally sung by Reshman who is a famous Pakistani singer and has sung in Bollywood as well. 


During Lux style awards 2008 Atif Aslam performed this track as a tribute to Reshman, who is suffering from cancer and currently lives in Dubai with her daughter. Due to her prolonged illness she has lost her singing as she is unable to pronounce words. But even then she is a living legend and a super star. 


Here is the Reshma version 











Akhian Noon Rehn De Akhian De Kol Kol
Chan pardesiya bol bhavain na bol
[Let your eyes stay close to mine, my beloved whether you talk or not ]
Here she refers to her beloved as "pardesiya" as he lives far away from her.
when she says whether you talk or don't talk she actually means the very sight of her lover is everything for her, and it does not matter if he talks to her or not. 


Akhian Noon Rehn De Akhian De Kol Kol
Chan pardesiya bol bhavain na bol
Akhian Noon Rehn De


Waikhan da cha sanu mukh partavi na
nede nede wass dhola door door jave na
nede nede wass jeevain door door jave na
[I long to see you, don't turn your face, just stay near me my love and don't go far away again]


door da khayaal chad wass akhiyan de kol kol
chan pardesiya bol bhanve na bol


[Drop the thoughts of going away, stay close to my eyes, my beloved whether you talk or don't talk]


Akhiyan nu rehn de


murli baja ke jeevain kergay o rogi ve
kan vi seeva ke jeevain bangay o jogi ve
kan vi seeva ke jeevain bangay o jogi ve
diloun na tori jeeevain sajna nu rool rool
chan pardesiya bol bhanve na bol


[By playing your flute you have made me your patient. 
Just like piercing your ears you have become a "jogi"
Don't break my heart by ignoring your beloved (her)
my beloved whether you talk or not talk]


jogi's literal meaning is a beggar, but it is more like a person who has quit from all the luxuries of life and lives the life of a beggar and remains indulged in god's prayers.


akhiyan nu rehn de


wanga main shariliya sachay sarkar diyaan
mudatan de baad ayan ghariyan pyaar diyaan
mudatan de baad ayan ghariyan pyaar diyaan
ek ek ghari sadi badi anmol ve
chan pardesiya bol bhanve na bol


[I have worn bangles of my true love's name
After a long time i have got these moments of love
each and every moment is precious to me
my beloved whether you talk or don't talk]


akhiyan nu rehn de
akhiyan nu rehn de






A beautiful song that describes a lover's feelings, basically when they are separated and later when they meet. Now after all this longing a mere sight of the beloved means everything to the lover. And wishes she keeps seeing him, and never let him go again. 


The song refers to heer-ranjha when the jogi is playing flute, it causes uneasiness to heer. And she is comparing her love to Ranjha. 


Bangles is in the tradition that married women wear, thus she wears the bangles of his name means she has accepted him as her husband. 


The song brings lots of feeling in the listeners mind as he imagines the very first line "Akhiyan nu rehn de...". Bring your eyes close to mine whether you talk to me or not....


Atif has a beautiful voice, and he is superb whenever he tries his hand at the folk songs. Like as in my previous post when he sang, Mae Ni, and Kinara. Everytime he sings folk it is just true magic. He should come up with more and more folk songs. I'm sure people will love him even more. 


Please share and comment.


Thank You

  18. Usually starting off with a mediocre sound will give you a mediocre track! Starting with the chorus can yield some amazing results though it can be long and tedious trying to find that right melody!...singingmastery.online
