Aise Jalta Hai Jiya
Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
आजा रे, आजा रे, आजा रे, आ
हाय, ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
जी ना सकूँ अब मैं तन्हा, हो, पिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
जी ना सकूँ अब मैं तन्हा, हो, पिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया...
बेचैन मेरे मन का मयूरा
लगता है तन्हा जीवन अधूरा
तन में दबी है बिरह की ज्वाला
अब तो पीला दे अधरों का प्याला
तृष्णा पुकारे मेरी, सुन बैरिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
जी ना सकूँ अब मैं तन्हा, हो, पिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया...
तू है अकेला, मैं हूँ अकेली
सूनी पड़ी है सारी हवेली
बेताबियों का पल बेसबर है
अब होने वाली जल्दी सहर है
दूरी मिटा दें मिलके, आ, साथिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
जी ना सकूँ अब मैं तन्हा, हो, पिया
ऐसे जलता है जिया...
जिया, जिया, जिया
In the song "Aise Jalta Hai Jiya" by Asha Bhosle, the lyrics express deep emotional turmoil and longing for connection and love. The repeated refrain of "aaja re" conveys a sense of urgency and desire for the beloved to come closer. The comparison of the burning heart to a lamp or "diya" emphasizes the intense passion and pain experienced by the singer.
The second verse delves deeper into the internal struggle of the singer, feeling restless and incomplete without their beloved. The imagery of a peacock trapped within the mind symbolizes the inner turmoil and the unquenched thirst for love. The yearning for the touch of the beloved is described as a flame of separation burning within the body, longing to be extinguished by their presence.
The third verse portrays a sense of loneliness and isolation, with both the singer and their beloved feeling alone in a deserted mansion. The anticipation of a new dawn and the anxious wait for the morning to arrive symbolize hope for a reunion and an end to the solitude. The plea for unity and togetherness underscores the desire to erase the distance and be united once again.
In the final verse, the repeated cries of "jiya" echo the lingering pain and longing in the singer's heart. The plea for companionship and the ultimate yearning to be free from the anguish of separation are intensified. The lyrics beautifully capture the emotional turmoil, yearning, and deep desire for connection and love, making "Aise Jalta Hai Jiya" a poignant and heartfelt portrayal of longing and love.

Come closer, come closer, come closer, come
हाय, ऐसे जलता है जिया जैसे दीया
Oh, my heart burns like a lamp
जी ना सकूँ अब मैं तन्हा, हो, पिया
I can't bear to be alone anymore, oh beloved
बेचैन मेरे मन का मयूरा
Restless is the peacock of my mind
लगता है तन्हा जीवन अधूरा
It feels like life is incomplete
तन में दबी है बिरह की ज्वाला
The flame of separation is burning in my body
अब तो पीला दे अधरों का प्याला
Now fill the cup of my lips with yellow (brightness)
तृष्णा पुकारे मेरी, सुन बैरिया
My desire calls out, listen my beloved
तू है अकेला, मैं हूँ अकेली
You are alone, I am alone
सूनी पड़ी है सारी हवेली
The entire mansion has become empty
बेताबियों का पल बेसबर है
The moment of restlessness is impatient
अब होने वाली जल्दी सहर है
Now the dawn is about to happen soon
दूरी मिटा दें मिलके, आ, साथिया
Let's erase the distance together, come my beloved
जिया, जिया, जिया
Heart, heart, heart
