Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
आजा ओ जाने जान मेरे मेहरबान
नैनो का कजरा बुलाये
दिल का यह अचरा बुलाये
बाँहो का गजरा बुलाये
आजा ओ जाने जान मेरे मेहरबान
आजा ओ जाने जान
मेरी मोहब्बत तरसे
पलकों से सावन बरसे बरसे
चंदा चंदा चंदा ना गुजरे इधर से
हर साँस दिल को दुखाए
जख्मो ने आंसू बहाए
आजा ओ जाने जान मेरे मेहरबान
आजा ओ जाने जान
घुंगरू में नगमा तुम्हारा
आँखों में जलवा तुम्हारा
फूलों में मुखड़ा तुम्हारा तुम्हारा
तारो में तारो में तारो में हसना तुम्हारा
मेरी नजर ललचाये
होठों से निकले हाय
आजा ओ जाने जान मेरे मेहरबान
आजा ओ जाने जान
The lyrics to the song "Aaja O Jaan-E-Jaan Mere Meherban" by Asha Bhosle convey a sense of longing and desire for the beloved.

The repeated plea to the beloved to come closer remains as an incessant yearning throughout the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "Aaja O Jaan-E-Jaan Mere Meherban" express a fervent desire for the beloved, emphasizing the captivating qualities and longing for their presence.
