Illegal Weapon 2.0

After a long time, I’ve chosen a song from this present era! This song was a hit since it released in Jan 2020. It’s part of the Bollywood movie ‘Street Dancer 3D’ starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. I tell you, her abs are the real illegal weapon here! It’s a fun song, like most Punjabi songs are. I definitely cannot read or write Punjabi, but since Bollywood is flooded with a bit of Punjabi here and there, I understand a tad. I love most of the Punjabi dance numbers; they’re a lot of fun. Their flamboyant culture adds more colour to an already-colourful nation! It’s just a fun song with arrogantly conceited lyrics! I have maintained that tone. Hope you like my poem that’s inspired by it!

Illegal Weapon – poem by Ruelha

This thick layer of kohl in my eyes,
can melt the thickest layer of ice!
Do you see these eyes?
That's my weapon of choice!

I know exactly what I want.
And in that league, you don't belong!
How do you have such high expectations?
You've not really analyzed the situation!

Just one look into my eyes,
They all drop dead; they're mesmerized!
Contradictory to Medusa's eyes,
mine will give you butterflies!

All around me, guys are waiting.
Just for a chance with me, to be dating!
Besides, you can't handle my attitude.
That I'm even talking to you, should fill you with gratitude!

This line of kohl drawn within my eyes,
The entire species of men, can it monopolize!
It's a highly illegal weapon.
Worse than a bomb, your reasoning, it can deafen!

Anything that comes out of my lips,
Instantly catches on, like a movie script!
And wherever I go, these heads, they turn.
Just to be around me, all guys, they yearn!

I've prepared for battle; I've adorned my eyes with kohl.
Gaze into them long enough, and I'll enslave your soul!
This weapon is sharper than a sword.
Do you want to lose it all? Can you afford?

I go to the gym; my body is entirely fit!
And my beauty is sharper than my wit!
I know exactly what I want.
And in that league, you don't belong!

I've already armed myself with kohl.
Look any longer and you'll lose control!
Besides, you can't handle my attitude.
I'm not someone that can be easily pursued!

You may think you're a stud.
But to me, you're just a dud!
This is my last warning; I don't want you to get hurt.
I'm an illegal weapon; with me, don't try to flirt!

Illegal Weapon 2.0 Lyrics and Translation {Punjabi (&Hindi) to English}

Akh surme se bharke taiyar kiI’ve readied my eyes with lots of kohl
Khinch khinch ke nishane hoon main maartiI pull and pull to aim and shoot from sight/eyes
Akh surme se bharke taiyar kiI’ve readied my eyes with lots of kohl
Khinch khinch ke nishane hoon main maartiI pull and pull{the bow} to aim and shoot{arrows} from sight/eyes
Khud zyada tu umeed mat rakh sohneyaDon’t have high expectations from yourself, dearie/handsome
Zyada tu umeed mat rakh sohneyaDon’t have high expectations, dearie
Tera level nahi mere yaar wargaYour level isn’t worthy of being my {boy}friend
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Meri gal baat end jatti lit haaniyanMy wasted conversations also become a hit
Main jawan do time gym poori fit haaniyanI go to the gym twice a day; I’m absolutely fit
Ho jidron vi langa mere hon charcheWherever I go, I am the topic of conversation
Meri natural beauty kare hit haaniyanMy natural beauty is a big hit
Try na mujhpe tu maar sohneyaDon’t try to hit on me, dearie/handsome
Try na mujhpe tu maar sohneyaDon’t try to hit on me, dearie
Tu zara si bhi nahi mere yaar wargaYou’re not even slightly close to my choice/type of a boyfriend
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Manne chhori laage tu angaar siGirl, I feel you’re just like a fireball
Khinch khinch ke nishane tabhi maar siThat’s why you pull and pull to aim and shoot from sight/eyes
Manne chhori laage tu angaar siGirl, I feel you’re like a fireball
Khinch khinch ke nishane tabhi maar siThat’s why you pull and pull to aim and shoot from sight/eyes
Aaja mere naal ik vaar nach sohniyeFor once come along and dance with me, beauty
Mere naal ik vaar nach sohniyeFor once come along and dance with me, beauty
Tainu feel karawan main star wargaI’ll make you feel like a star
Gabru de seene vich thaan vajda niThe bell in the chest of this stud is ringing
Tera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaYour whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Gabru de seene vich thaan vajda niThe bell in the chest of this stud/cassanova is ringing
Tera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaYour whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
Mundeya nu sooli utte tangi rakhda veI keep young lads hanging on the noose
Mera nakhra ae teekhi talwar wargaMy whims/tantrums are like that of a spicy/sharp sword
