Appying the theory of I A Richad on the movie song " Ptakkha Guddi"

        I tried to apply I A Richard’s theory in the song “Patakkha Guddi” in High way. Lyrics of this songs given by Irshad Kamil.  In this song many metaphors were, some are appropriate to the story and some are found far-fetched. The most attractive metaphors are:

·         tera mali

·         Maula Hariyali jungle wali

·         jugani

·         Rukh peepal

·         Chakk chakaute javve…

·         Fatte mar di billoari

·              mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

·         Fatte mar di billoari

·              mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

The very first line of the song is…..

Mitthe paan di gillauri

Lathha suit da Lahori

                Fatte maardi billori,

               mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

                 I this line  poet describe a girl hwo is having sweet paan and wearing Lahori suit,having fun.This song is from Bollywood and now Lahor is in Pakistan. So that the first image pope up in our mind is of Pakistani girl.so it can considered as inappropriate.

                              

     The next stanza is…..

Maula tera maali,

O hariyali jungle waali,

tu de har gaali pe taali,

uski kadam kadam rakhwali

 Ainweyi lok laj ki soch soch ke

Kyun he aafat daali

Tu le naam rab ka naam saai ka

Ali Ali Ali Ali

        In this line very old and familier metaphore was used like god is considered as a gardener  and people as their gardene or jungle. Here another Hindi movie song is also recall is title song of the movie Bagban that…

Bago ke har phool ko apna samje bagban

Bagban rab he bangban, bagban rab he bagban

    In this two selected lines again god is considered as gardener and the massage is god will take care of his all the child.

 The other lines are….

Jugani rukh peepal da hoi,

Jis nu pooje ta har koi,

Jisdi fasal kisi na boyi,

Ghar bhi rakh sake na koi…

         In this line comparision of the girl with the tree of peepal , which is worshiped by everyone, yet no one seeded it and also don’t want to put it near their home. To know the reason why people don’t want peepal tree near their home one should know the Hindu myth redarding this peepal tree. According to Hindu mythology ancestor were living in this people tree that’s why everybody worship it but do not seeded it.

    This is my small try to appy I A Richard’s theory with my understanding.

              Thank you
