Ishqiyaa lyrics goes like this:
Ibn-e-batuta ta ta
Bagal mein joota ta ta
Ibn-e-batuta ta ta
Bagal mein joota ta ta
Pehne to karta hai churrr
Udh udh aave aa aa, daana chugey aa aa
Udh udh aave aa aa, daana chugey aa aa
Udh jaave chidiya phurrr
It's a catchy song, no doubt. But the first question comes in mind, is what the hell does Ibn-e-batuta means. And most of us are right, when we think it doesn`t mean anything. It`s actually the name of a famous Muslim scholar and traveller whose full name was - hold your breath - Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta.
Now, that`s more complicated than the song itself. So keep crooning ta..ta. Filhaal, Tata
