Introduction
"Ranjha" is a Punjabi folk-style song from the 2021 film Shershaah, sung by B Praak, Jasleen Royal and Romy, composed by Jasleen Royal with lyrics by Anvita Dutt, released by Sony Music India.

The Song
'Ranjha' plays at the emotional peak of Shershaah, in the world of Vikram Batra and Dimple. It opens in desolation — the night is upset, the heart is upset, everything lies scattered — and settles into its famous refrain: the beloved is silent, Ranjha is silent, and she does not know how to say 'please don't go'. Between the verses sits the folk cry 've mera dhola ni aaya dhola' (my beloved has not come), which turns a film song into a lament rooted in Punjab's Heer-Ranjha tradition.
The Artists
B Praak brings his raw, aching voice to the male lines, Jasleen Royal sings and composes — her gentle arrangement carries the folk melody — and Romy adds his voice to the track. The lyrics are by Anvita Dutt, who threads the Heer-Ranjha story through lines like 'ni main rajj rajj hijr manavan' (I keep celebrating this separation to my heart's fill).

Ranjha Lyrics Meaning in English
"Ranjha" is named for the hero of Punjab's Heer-Ranjha folk tale, and the song is sung from the beloved's side of a separation. Everything is 'rootha' (upset) and 'bikhra' (scattered): the night, the heart, the world. Her Ranjha stays silent — 'chup mahi, chup hai Ranjha' — and she cannot find the words to stop him: 'bolein kaise ve na ja' (how do I say, please don't go). She even turns on God, who 'plays games' and 'lies every time', and on herself — sitting alone in a crowd, she has taken his pain as her own, while her beloved has not come: 've mera dhola ni aaya dhola'.
Conclusion
'Ranjha' is Shershaah's most folk-rooted moment — a Heer-like lament carried by B Praak's ache and Jasleen Royal's tender composition, with words by Anvita Dutt. Few film songs of its decade have been quoted, covered and cried to as much.
