Aabaad Barbaad Lyrics : “Aabaad Barbaad” is a vibrant yet soulful track from the 2020 dark comedy anthology Ludo, composed by the master of melodies, Pritam, and voiced by the incomparable Arijit Singh. The song perfectly captures the paradoxical nature of love—where one feels simultaneously “Aabaad” (prosperous/settled) and “Barbaad” (ruined). It serves as a musical heartbeat for the film’s multi-layered narrative, blending a sense of whimsical romance with the unpredictable chaos of life.
The track is an upbeat soft-rock and pop fusion, driven by a steady drum groove and bright acoustic guitar strums. The production is characterized by its “breathable” arrangement, allowing Arijit’s versatile vocals to shine. He effortlessly moves from a conversational, lighthearted tone in the verses to an emotive, soaring pitch in the chorus. The lyrics, penned by Sandeep Srivastava, are clever and relatable, depicting love as a beautiful mess that is worth every bit of the struggle.
Key Highlights
Vibe: Feel-good, breezy, and infectious—it’s a staple for road trips and “happy-sad” moods.
Composition: Pritam’s signature ability to create a “modern classic” is evident in the song’s catchy hook and layering.
Cinematic Context: The song beautifully underscores the chemistry between the various ensembles in the movie, particularly the segments featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanya Malhotra.
“Aabaad Barbaad” remains one of the most beloved tracks of the pandemic era, continuing to resonate as a celebration of love’s messy, beautiful contradictions.
Aabaad Barbaad Lyrics
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya phir aabaad kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya phir aabaad kar do
Wo galat tha yeh sahi hai
Jhooth yeh aaj keh do
Itna ehsaan kar do
Itna ehsaan kar do
Poore armaan kar do
Lab pe aakar jo ruke hain
Dhai wo harf keh do
Meri saanson se judi hai
Teri har saans keh do
Mushqil aasaan kar do
Mushqil aasaan kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya phir aabaad kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do..
Meetha sa yeh zehar
Main to peeta rahunga
Tu khuda na sahi
Main to sajde karunga
Hmm..
Meetha sa yeh zehar
Main to peeta rahunga
Tu khuda na sahi
Main to sajde karunga
Tum jo sheerin na huye kya
Humko farhaad kar do
Meri saanson se judi hai
Teri har saans keh do
Mushqil aasaan kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya phir aabaad kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do..
Khwabon ko jagah na mili aankhon mein
Wahaan pehle se hi sailaab tha
Nagme banaata fira saajo pe
Dil apna fatak mijraab thha
Hmm..
Khwabon ko jagah na mili aankhon mein
Wahaan pehle se hi sailaab tha
Nagme banaata fira saajo pe
Dil apna fatak mijraab thha
Meri bejaan hasraton ko
Kaabile-daar kar do
Meri saanson se judi hai
Teri har saans keh do
Itna ehsaan kar do
Itna ehsaan kar do
Poore armaan kar do
Ya to barbaad kar do
Ya phir aabaad kar do..
