Okay, this is probably a stupid question but does 'kuwa' (from the song Kuwa Ma Dhoob) mean 'well'? If it does, what does Kuwa Ma Dhoob Jaoge mean?

I dont speak hindi...it's been on my mind ever since i first saw the song (havent seen the movie yet)

9 years late to answer but it's literal meaning is to drown inside a well... loosely its used as a metaphor implying you can drown in shame or fall in rut unable to get out of... orination i think is from somewhere rural source where the way to kill yourself or get away from things is by throwing yourself into a well.
