Ivor Armstrong Richards (26 February 1893 – 7 September 1979), known as I. A. Richards, was an English educator,literary critic , and rhetorician whose work contributed to the foundations of the new criticism a formalist movement in literary theory which emphasized the close reading of a literary text, especially poetry, in an effort to discover how a work of literature functions as a self-contained,self- refernatia, esthetic object.
He was a pioneer in the domain of new criticism. His path breaking works are,
1. The meaning of meaning 1923
2. The principal of literary criticism. 1924
3. The practical criticism. 1929
There are three objective to write The practical criticism. 1. To introduce new kind of documentation. 2. To provide new technique. 3. To prepare a new way for educational Method.
In his work he discuss about figurative language as well as metaphorical language which was an orthodox of close textual and verbal study and analysis of work of art.
In this blog I try to look the song sadda haq with the perspective of figurative language. This song is from the movie Rockstar. This song is composed by the A.R. Rahman. The song has powerfull set of lyrics with a rebellious tone. The hook sadda haq aithe rakh is panjabi for " give me what's mine right here."
Tum logon ki, iss duniya mein
Har kadam pe, insaan ghalat
Main sahi samajh ke jo bhi karoon
Tum kehte ho ghalat!
Main ghalat hoon toh phir kaun sahi
(phir kaun sahi)
Marzi se jeene ki bhi main
Kya tum sabko arzi doon
Matlab ki tum sab ka mujh pe
Mujh se bhi zyada haq hai
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh (x2)
Na na na……
(Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh) [x4]
Hey!
Inn qataaron mein yaa udhaaron mein
Tum mere jeene ki aadat ka kyu ghot rahe dum
Besalika main, uss gali ka main
Na jis mein haya, na jis mein sharam
Mann-bole ke ras mein jeenay ka harjaana
Duniya dushman sab begaana inhe aag lagaana
Mann bole mann bole
Mann se jeena ya marr jaana hai..!
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh (x2)
Na na na….
Ooo…
O Eco-friendly, nature ke rakshak
Main bhi hoon nature
Rewaazon se samaajon se
Kyun…..?
Tu kaate mujhe
Kyun baate mujhe iss tarah
ho ho…..
Kyu sach ka sabak sikhaaye
Jab sach sunn bhi naa paaye
Sach koi bole tto tu niyam kanoon bataye
Tera darr, Tera pyaar, teri wah
Tu hi rakh rakh saala
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh
Sadda Haq Aithe Aithe Rakh….
Chorus
[Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh] (x4)
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh….(x4)
The song has beautiful lyrics with deeper meaning. The lyricist in song talk about person individual right to live his or her own life with his or her own choices. Firstly we peradox in line 2nd and 3rd when he says in your world insaan ghalat mai sahi. Peradox is here that only man can right or wrong and society is also made with the man. Then he say that to live my life shall I have to give application to you. The thing is that application is only given when you go to get job. By using this type of sentences he satires the society. That if you want to live life comfortable you have to live as per the rules of society. He also say that why in this society man don't even has right over on his or her self.
Then he talk about the nature that all the time society talk about the nature that we should save nature then why he don't allow man to live to life his own way. He says I am also part of nature then why you do rested me to live my own way. He says why rituals are more Important than me. He also talk about truth. He says that first only society say that you should accept what is truth. But when you show mirror of truth to society that is not acceptable. So he says when you don't want to accept truth then why you always talk about truth.
Then he say that tera dete tera pyaar tari tha tu hi tak. Here he again do satire on society that in this society whatever people do that do it in feair of society not with his own wish.
In this song we found all four kind of meaning about which Richard's has talked. The 1st is sense. In this song we found lyricist sense clearly that he is not happy with the attitude of society. The 2nd is feeling. When we listen some we can feel lyricist desier to live his own life with his own view.
The 3rd is tone. We found lyricist rebellious tone towads society and sympathy towards people who wants to live in same manner the way lyricist wants to live. The 4th is intention. In the song we found lyricist intention to show society it's true nature.

+JeelVyas: So far as introduction and four kinds of meaning is concerned, it is giod attempt. What you should also do is to 'problematize' the language of poetry.
