Aalsi Dopahar

Aalsi Dopahar Lyrics

Aalsi Dopahar is a Hindi song by Rahgir. This song describes a reflective conversation between the narrator and their grandfather under the shade of an old neem tree in a lazy afternoon, in a small village that doesn’t even appear on the map. The grandfather shares stories that highlight the harsh realities of life, touching on themes of human nature, war, caste discrimination, and societal values.

The grandfather starts by explaining that just like there are different kinds of people, there are different kinds of blood and countless stories behind each person’s wounds.

He then tells a story about a soldier who had fought in many battles and lost an eye. When the soldier returned to the village, everyone was more interested in how many enemies he had killed rather than his well-being. No one asked how he was doing, and he felt as if everyone had forgotten about him. The soldier confided in his mother, feeling guilty for taking lives and questioning the value of a stranger’s life compared to his own people.

Next, the grandfather narrates another story about caste discrimination in the village. There was a water tank that only higher caste women were allowed to use, while lower caste women had to wait for hours and often returned home empty-handed because their pots were considered untouchable. The grandfather remarks that discrimination exists in many forms, not just based on caste, but also in wealth and disputes.

He reflects that people would only feel ashamed of these practices if they were truly alive and conscious of their actions.

The song concludes by lamenting how humanity is flowing along with the dirty streams of caste and religion. The setting under the neem tree in the lazy afternoon symbolizes a moment of contemplation and the sharing of wisdom in a village too small to be on a map, yet rich with poignant stories. Rahgir’s Aalsi Dopahar lyrics are given below.
