In many classical pieces, I have come across the phrase "kala na pare" or "kala na parat". For example, Rashid Khan's thumri in Kirwani "Tore bina mohe kala na pare brijke Nandlala", Bhimsen Joshi's Nayaki Kanada bandish "Kala Na Pare Maiko, Nisadin Tarasat" or the Yaman Kalyan cheez "Piya bina sakhi kala na parat".
Can someone explain what this phrase means? I can sort of guess based on context but a clean translation would help a ton.

In the phrases quoted above kal means: sukh, chain. aaraam.

The word has other meanings too:
kal chaudviin kii raat thii: kal=yesterday
kal baarish ho gii: kal=tomorow

" KALA NA PARAT" in Brij Bhasha.
"KALA" OR KAL : COMFORT, PEACEFULNESS, TRANQUALITY, CONTENTMENT etc..
In simple Hindi it means: (Tere bin mujhe ) chain nahin, aaram nahin.
