Boba Raat Lyrics

সময় হারিয়ে যায়
চেনা এ শহরটায়,
কোথায় মুখ লুকায় চেনা ঠিকানা।
ভেসে ভেসে যায় মুখ
সরে সরে যায় হাত,
কিছু বোবা রাত ঘরে আর ফেরে না।

কোন চোখে ভাঙে কূল
সংসারী সে পুতুল,
ভালোবাসা যেন ভুল ভাঙা খেলনা।
একা একা একাকার
এক বুক কথা তার,
সাজিয়েছে কাঁটাতার প্রিয় আয়না।

নদীরা চুপ, ঘুমোয় ঢেউ-এর প্রাণ
পেরোয় মন, অগোছালো অভিমান,
নদীরা চুপ, ঘুমোয় ঢেউ-এর প্রাণ
পেরোয় মন, অগোছালো অভিমান,
এখানে সহজ ব্যাথা
বোঝানো যে কি কঠিন,
রাত্রির ভরসাকে ছিঁড়ে ফেলে কোনোদিন।

সময়ের অভিনয়
শুধু মেনে নিতে হয়,
এখানে নিজের নয় কোনো ঠিকানা।
একা একা একাকার
কত পথ বাকি আর,
মুছে গেছে কবে কার কেউ জানে না।

Meaning of Boba Raat Lyrics

Boba raat lyrics begins with the haunting line “সময় হারিয়ে যায়, চেনা এ শহরটায়, কোথায় মুখ লুকায় চেনা ঠিকানা” (“Time gets lost in this familiar city, where do the familiar addresses hide their faces”), setting the tone of estrangement and disconnection. The very spaces that once felt safe and known have become strange because the people, bonds, and memories attached to them have faded away.

Boba raat lyrics sense of slipping away is deepened with “ভেসে ভেসে যায় মুখ, সরে সরে যায় হাত, কিছু বোবা রাত ঘরে আর ফেরে না” (“Faces float away, hands slip away, some silent nights never return home”), where faces and hands, symbols of closeness and companionship, drift out of reach, while the nights of comfort and intimacy never return, leaving behind only a haunting emptiness.

Boba raat lyrics then explore the fragility of love with the lines “কোন চোখে ভাঙে কূল সংসারী সে পুতুল, ভালোবাসা যেন ভুল ভাঙা খেলনা” (“In whose eyes does the doll of worldly life break its shore, love seems like a broken toy of mistakes”). Here, human relationships are seen as fragile like a doll or toy, vulnerable to breaking under the weight of everyday struggles. Once broken, they lose their original beauty and meaning.

Boba raat lyrics brokenness reflects inward too, captured in “একা একা একাকার, এক বুক কথা তার, সাজিয়েছে কাঁটাতার প্রিয় আয়না” (“Alone, alone, everything becomes one, a chest full of unspoken words has decorated barbed wires in the beloved mirror”). The heart’s unexpressed emotions become like barbed wires in front of the mirror, showing how self-reflection brings pain because memories of love and closeness are now laced with sharp reminders of loss.

Boba raat lyrics then moves into a quiet but powerful metaphor with “নদীরা চুপ, ঘুমোয় ঢেউ-এর প্রাণ, পেরোয় মন, অগোছালো অভিমান” (“Rivers are silent, the life of waves sleeps, the mind crosses, messy pride”). Rivers and waves, normally symbols of flow and life, fall silent and dormant, echoing how emotions become suppressed and the heart burdened by tangled pride and unresolved hurts.

The line “এখানে সহজ ব্যাথা বোঝানো যে কি কঠিন, রাত্রির ভরসাকে ছিঁড়ে ফেলে কোনোদিন” (“Here how hard it is to explain simple pain, someday the trust of night is torn apart”) shows how even the most ordinary sorrow is difficult to put into words. Trust, once broken, leaves scars that tear apart our inner faith in comfort and belonging.

Time itself is described as a relentless stage in “সময়ের অভিনয় শুধু মেনে নিতে হয়, এখানে নিজের নয় কোনো ঠিকানা” (“The play of time must simply be accepted, here no address truly belongs to oneself”). Life is portrayed as a performance dictated by time, and none of us can claim permanence or true ownership of the places or relationships we inhabit, as everything is destined to pass.

Boba raat lyrics repetition of “একা একা একাকার, কত পথ বাকি আর, মুছে গেছে কবে কার কেউ জানে না” (“Alone, alone, everything becomes one, how many paths still remain, no one knows whose memory has been erased when”) intensifies the theme of isolation. It reminds us that the journey of life is endless, uncertain, and often filled with forgotten connections.

Boba raat lyrics circles back to the refrain “সময় হারিয়ে যায়, চেনা এ শহরটায়” (“Time gets lost in this familiar city”), reinforcing the central idea that time quietly steals away familiarity, love, and belonging. We are left wandering through a city, a world, and a life that no longer feels like our own.

Overall, the song is a meditation on impermanence. It speaks of how time erodes human bonds, how love shatters under worldly burdens, how silence and pride replace communication, and how we are left to accept the performance of life while carrying unspoken emotions in solitude. By grounding its emotions in powerful imagery floating faces, broken toys, silent rivers, barbed wires the song portrays the universal truth of human experience: that everything slips away, nothing stays permanent, and yet we must continue to walk the uncertain paths of time with the echoes of lost nights and faces lingering in our hearts.
