Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This humorous situational track from the 2019 film 'Petta' plays during the Uttar Pradesh backdrop scenes. The lyrics express the utter disbelief, pain, and comical shock of a henchman who has just been slapped by Jithu Ji (a key character portrayed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Through repetitive and rhythmic Hindi phrasing, the song emphasizes the absurdity and embarrassment of the incident, asking in bewilderment how Jithu Ji could deliver such a slap.

Epizeuxis / Repetition
“Thappad thappad maara jithu ji ne”
The word 'Thappad' (slap) is repeated consecutively as 'Thappad thappad' to emphasize the rhythmic severity and comic effect of the action.
Rhetorical Question
“Mujhe kaise maara”
The phrase 'Mujhe kaise maara' (How could he slap me?) is asked repeatedly not to seek an answer, but to convey utter disbelief and shock.
Refrain
“Thappad maara jithu ji ne”
The core phrase 'Thappad maara jithu ji ne' recurs throughout the verse to anchor the song's singular, comical premise.

Trivia
Although 'Petta' is a Tamil mass-entertainer starring Rajinikanth with music by Anirudh Ravichander, this specific comedic bit piece features Hindi lyrics to suit the narrative setting of Singaar Singh and Jithu's political stronghold in Uttar Pradesh.
