This song from the film 'Kidaari' expresses the raw, rustic affection and awe a rural woman feels for the male protagonist, Kidaari. She describes her overwhelming fixation on him—how her thoughts and eyes constantly search for him, leaving her feeling weightless and ecstatic, as if floating above the ground.
