A R Rahman ft. Sukhvinder Singh Tanvi Shah & Mahalaxmi Iyer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jai ho, jai ho

Aaja, aaja jind shamiyane ke tale
Aaja jariwale nile aasman ke tale

Jai ho, jai ho

Ratti, ratti sachi maine jaan gavayi hai
Nach, nach koylo pe raat bitayi hai
Akhiyon ki neend maine phoonko se uda di
Neele tare se maine ungli jalayi hai

Aaja, aaja jind shamiyane ke tale
Aaja jariwale nile aasman ke tale

Chakh le, ha, chakh le ye raat shahad hai, chakh le
Rakh le, ha, dil hai dil aakhri had hai, rakh le
Kala, kala kajal tera koi kala jadoo hai na
Kala, kala kajal tera koi kala jadoo hai na

Aaja, aaja jind shamiyane ke tale
Aaja jariwale nile aasman ke tale

Jai ho, jai ho
Jai ho, jai ho

Kab se, ha kab se tu lab pe ruki hai kah de
Kah de, ha kah de ab aankh jhuki hai, kah de
Aisi, aisi roshan aankhe roshan dono bhi hai, hai kya?

Aaja, aaja jind shamiyane ke tale
Aaja jariwale nile aasman ke tale





Jai ho, jai ho
Jai ho, jai ho

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Jai Ho are a call to celebrate and rejoice. The first two lines of the song invite the listener to come and join under the canopy of life ("shamiyane ke tale") and beneath the blue sky. The repetition of the phrase "jai ho" throughout the song is a celebratory exclamation in Hindi, meaning "let there be victory" or "let there be glory."


The following lines of the song describe the singer's experiences of life, where he has lost himself in the night, and has brought about his sleep by lighting blue stars. He has also blown away his sleep with a puff of air from his eyes. The singer urges the listener to come and join the celebrations by bringing all their hearts and souls together.


The song is a fusion of Hindi and English lyrics and was composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman for the movie Slumdog Millionaire. The song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the soundtrack album was a commercial and critical success globally.
