Meaning of Kemon Boka Monta Re

‘Kemon Boka Monta Re’ is a Bengali language line beautifully used by lyricist in this song. ‘Kemon’ means HOW and ‘Boka’ means STUPID, ‘Mon’ means HEART. So its overall meaning is  ‘what an idiot the heart is’.

Monta Re Lyrics in Hindi

कागज़ के दो पंख लेके, उड़ा चला जाए रे
जहाँ नहीं जाना था ये, वहीँ चला हाय रे
उमर का ये ताना-बाना समझ ना पाए रे
जुबां पे जो मोह-माया, नमक लगाये रे
के देखे ना, भाले ना, जाने ना दायरे
दिशा हारा, कैमोन बोका, मोन्टा रे!
 
फ़तेह करे किले सारे, भेद जाए दीवारें
प्रेम कोई सेंध लागे
अगर मगर बारी बारी, जिया को यूँ उछाले
जिया नहीं गेंद लागे
माटी को ये चंदन सा, माथे पे सजाये रे
जुबां पे जो मोह-माया, नमक लगाये रे
के देखे ना, भाले ना, जाने ना दाये रे
दिशा हारा कैमोन बोका, मोन्टा रे!

English Lyrics and Translation of The Song

Kaagaz Ke Do Pankh Leke, Udaa Chala Jaaye Re
Jahan Nahin Jaana Tha Yeh, Wahin Chala Haye Re
Umar Ka Yeh Taana Baana, Samajh Na Paaye Re
Zubaan Pe Jo Moh Maaya, Namak Lagaye Re
Ke Dekhe Na, Bhale Na, Jaane Na Daayre
Disha Hara Kemon Boka..Monta Re..
(Taking its two fragile paper wings, it is flying away 
Where it shouldn’t go, it goes there only
It doesn’t understand the complications of age
Temptation and myth which are present on the tongue are luring it
It doesn’t look back or front, it doesn’t know its limits
This stupid heart of mine is directionless)
 
Fateh Kare Kile Saare, Bhed Jaaye Deewarein
Prem Koi Sendh Laage.. Sendh Laage Re Laage
Agar Magar Bari Bari, Jiya Ko Yun Uchhale,
Jiya Nahin Gend Laage, Gend Laage Re Laage
Maati Ko Ye Chandan Sa, Maathe Pe Sajaye Re
Zubaan Pe Jo Moh Maaya, Namak Lagaye Re
Ke Dekhe Na Bhale Na Jaane Na Daayare,
Disha Haara Kemon Boka, Monta Re..
(After winning all the castles, breaking all walls or obstacles,
it still thinks ‘love’ is a crime
Yes, no, this and that, it confuses itself with this dilemma, 
not a heart, but it looks like a ball, that way
It has decorated mud on the face as if it is sandalwood
Temptation and myth which are present on the tongue are luring it
It doesn’t look back or front, it doesn’t know its limits
This stupid heart of mine is directionless)
