Song Meaning of “O Wanjhli Valareya” by Noor Jehan
‘O Wanjhli Valareya’ is a melancholic classic by Noor Jehan, one of Pakistan’s best loved singers. The song is about lost love and longing, and is sung from the perspective of a woman trying to move on from a past relationship.
The woman in the song speaks of how her beloved has gone, leaving her all alone in their home, and how her heart aches for them to return. Every aspect of the house brings her pain, as one glance reminds her of their good times together. Despite telling her ‘O Wanjhli Valareya’ (Oh Beloved, Go), her heart remains firmly in the past. Though she continues to try and move on, time does not heal her broken heart and she remains in a state of longing for her former lover.
The song speaks of the strong power of love, and how it can be so enduring that even after a breakup, the hurt and pain remain. It reminds us of the fragile nature of love and how our hearts can be broken so easily, yet still remain so invested.
