Respected sir,

I A Richards theory of Figurative Language.

Here I have selected one song from bollywood  movie N H 10. Who was also related to I A Richards figurative language. Here I am analized this song accoding to Richards theory.

Song: chhil gaye naina

Music :Drashan Rathod and sanjeev Rathod

Singers: Dipanshu pandit and kanika kapoor

Kanch ki nind aayi ,Pathar k khwaab layi

Kanch ki nind aayi, Pathar k khwaab layi

Jane rab jane kab ,Zakhmon se mill gaye naina

Chhil gaye naina, chhil gaye naina.

Above this line there were talking about some kind of suffer of somebody and how they think about the life and about the bad nightmare.

Here he/she think about the condition of sleep. The sleep that came was made of glass. And also it brought dreams of stone. They also asks to God that I don’t know when and how my eyes were scratched?

Tukada tukada in saanson ka

Seene mein hai bikhara pada

Sookha hua samandar,Hai aankho k ander

Dhadkan chalegi kaise, dil mein chubhe hain khanjar

Din kaale kaale lage, lagti hai kaali kaali raina

Chhil gaye naina, chhil gaye naina.

In this some another lines he/she talking about broken pieces of these breathes are scattered in the chest. And also talking about eyes, it connected with the dried ocean. In the next lines there were talking about the heartbeat, how it go on because there were knives pocking into heart. And in the last two lines there were talking about the concept of day and night there were both seems dark day and night too. And again says that my eyes got scratched.

Analysis : In this song poet wants to say about the imagination about life with some kind of metaphore. Like kaach, pathar,samundar, khanjar etc.

Problems in understanding the lyrics:
1)    How can sleep like glass?
2)    How can dreams like stone?
3)    How can eyes like dried ocean?
4)    How can knives pocking into heart?
5)    How can eyes scratched with the stone?





Thank you....
