Listen Lyrics
Main unme te konya re jo laake gindraja
Yaari laayi te fer maut tahi sath bhi nibhaja yaari
Chhora uchh neech te parakhta na mansa ne
Neet sachhi jiski vo beshak aake lyaja yaari
Mahra vo imaan hai jo kade kite dolta ni
Jo ae mard sach har jagah bolta ni
Raaj dabbe baitha hu bhaut’an ke kade kholta ni
Daaru duru pilu par galat kite bolta ni
Paseene ke meh nichde hai gaaht din raat
Jawani mei na todde godde todya sadaah gaaht
Khuleyam beeke hai hussan ek saath
Par ekke gailan pyar mera ekke gailan baat
Yaar bade vakeef hoye hai tere chehre te
Umeed konya lyata jehte chhora aire gaire te
Ya duniya hai gungi saali bolle bas behre te
Brand konya banya ja brand latte pehre te
Re gehre te bhi gehre hai meaning har baat ke
Account’an te kadd na kisein ka kade naapte
Janta ne support karya bane hum aap the
Re ibbi hum baap ha ar pehla bhi hum baap the
Nue toh kayian ka crush chhora kayian ka dream
Dev ji ne jija bollu tere bhaiya ka dream
Manne laani paar noka meri nayyia ka dream
Tu laake 30 ki cream leri sayian ka dream
Nue match thodi hovega re aankhya aale khel ka
Ghee te ke mukabala refined aale tel ka
Pahada ke maah beete mahina pura april ka
Kona kona jaanu main tihaad aali jail ka
Teri chadhti jawani mera chadhta scale
Teri choti gail yaar ki dunali gailan mail
Bhaiyo office’an meh baithe laave asla ke tel
Vo chusakta na baby re jo jaane hai detail
Gail gail challe mand raaste ye death ke
Bio jaanu sarya ki or formule math ke
Jee karya jab jaake delhi chamber’an meh baithge
Re leak hoye pade hai message ibbe chat ke
Ya zindagi hai meri koye hassi khel konya
Tu bhaajke chadhjagi rohtak aali rail konya
Nue toh kaid kar paave bani ihsi jail konya
Par saachi kahu bhaagwan mahra mail konya
Dukh dekhya zindagi meh ek tu bhi dekhli
Apne te chote bhaiya ki bahu bhi dekhli
Mane dekhhi aatma ar parmatma bhi dekhya
Mane durr hoti body te kayi rooh bhi dekhli
Kalyug chaalrya hai kit ram toove hai
Bhaagdod bhari life meh aaram toove hai
Iss duniya ne dekh sab kaam toove hai
Tu maa baap ke alawa kitt dhaam toove hai
Ye tere laali powder laane bas 2 din ke
Tane londe jo patane bas 2 din ke
Tere follower badhane bas 2 din ke
Mere geet mere gaane sab 2 din ke
Pyaar pishya ke mah tulle ahde majburi meh
Koye saga konya baby faida dikhhe doori meh
Dharya kuch bhi nahi hai bhaiyo jee hazuri meh
Mane ghanta interest na shakal bhuri meh
Pehla hona kamyab kamyabi lyani hai
Re baapu karega pasand waahe gaadi lyani hai
Re tere naam ki lehar manne thaadi thaani hai
Re maa jo kehvegi fer wahe thaari bhabhi aani hai
Na toh reh lange kuvare salmaan ki tariha
Karu seeva maa baap ki shree ram ki tariha
Sahara banange kisein ka baba shyam ki tariha
Na toh hojange azaad hindustan ki tariha

“Listen” Song Meaning Explained
The Big Picture
“Listen Lyrics” honestly, at first you might just breeze past that. But the more you sit with this track, the more you realize that’s the entire point. It’s not just a title, it’s an instruction, a plea. It’s like Devender is saying, “Don’t just hear the music, don’t just vibe to the beat… actually listen to the words.” Because this whole song is him laying his worldview bare, unpacking his code for life, his struggles, his disillusionments, and his iron-clad principles. The title frames it as a direct transmission. This isn’t a pop hook designed to get stuck in your head… okay, it does that too, but it’s a manifesto you’re meant to absorb.
Most Impactful Lines
Man, there are so many. The whole track is dense with these gut-punch observations. But the one that always makes me pause is “Paseene ke meh nichde hai gaaht din raat”… you know, the line about being steeped in the sweat of hard work, day and night. It’s just so visceral and raw. It’s not about glamorous success, it’s about the literal grind, the physical toll. It completely rejects any fake, overnight fame narrative.
And then right after, he hits you with this absolute truth bomb: “Ya duniya hai gungi saali bolle bas behre te”. “This world is deaf, man, it only speaks to the deaf.” I mean, come on. That’s him just calling out the whole noise of modern life, how real talk gets lost in an echo chamber of people who only want to hear what they already believe. It’s a frustrated, brilliant way of saying genuine connection is rare. That line just sticks with you, you know? You hear it and you’re just like… yeah. Yeah, it really does feel like that sometimes.
Decoding The Chorus
Okay, the chorus is the anchor, the core philosophy. Let’s take it slow. It starts with “Main unme te konya re jo laake gindraja” – “I am not among those who bring bad company.” Right away, he’s defining himself by what he’s not. He’s setting the boundary. Then the next line is heavy: “Yaari laayi te fer maut tahi sath bhi nibhaja yaari” – “If I bring friendship, then even death will keep that promise with me.” That’s the ultimate standard. It’s not about fair-weather friendship; it’s a bond so solid it transcends life itself. That’s the level he operates on.
The second couplet is about judgment and character. “Chhora uchh neech te parakhta na mansa ne” – “A person isn’t measured by high or low status.” He’s dismissing societal hierarchies completely. What matters is “Neet sachhi jiski vo beshak aake lyaja yaari” – “Whoever has true principles, come and bring that friendship.” The invitation is open, but the price of admission is authenticity. The whole chorus is this powerful, self-contained creed. It’s not a melodic hook you mindlessly sing; it’s a vow you’re witnessing.
Most Relatable Part
For me, the part that feels the most painfully real, especially now, is that whole verse about the surface-level world. The lines about brands, and followers, and “crushes” versus real dreams. When he says “Brand konya banya ja brand latte pehre te” – “Don’t become a brand by just wearing branded lattes”… it’s such a sharp dig at the whole performance of success we see everywhere. Like, you can buy the aesthetic, the coffee, the clothes, but that doesn’t build a real legacy. It’s all just a facade.
And then he contrasts it with his own father’s approval, his own boat’s anchor, these tangible, personal dreams. That friction between the hollow metrics the world celebrates and the quiet, real achievements that actually matter… that’s the daily struggle, isn’t it? To not get sucked into valuing the “refined oil” when you’re working with pure “ghee.” That section just articulates that modern tension so perfectly.
Conclusion & Overall Message
So what’s the takeaway after all that? After all the bravado and the street-smart wisdom and the flashes of spiritual insight? I think the song leaves you with this… fortified feeling. It’s not a happy song, not really. It’s clear-eyed. It sees the deaf world, the fake friendships, the two-day trends. But within that, it carves out a space for unshakeable integrity. The message is about building something real—in your work, in your relationships, in your character—in a time that rewards the opposite.
It’s a reminder to measure yourself by your own “neet,” your own principles, not by followers or lattes. And maybe that’s why we keep replaying it. In a noisy, often superficial age, this track feels like a grounding wire. It’s the voice in your head that says, “Nah, don’t play the game that way. Build something that lasts, even if only death is there to see it through.” It’s defiant, and in its defiance, it’s weirdly hopeful. It makes you want to be the person who could actually answer that call in the chorus.
