Balma Khuli Hawa Mein
Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
दिल चाहता है मेरा बहकना इधर उधर
बलमा खुली हवा में महकी हुई फ़िज़ा में
दिल चाहता है मेरा बहकना इधर उधर
पग पग चलूँ बलखाती
खुद भी न जानूँ कहाँ
पग पग चलूँ बलखाती
कहता है ये दिल मतवाला
आज अपना है सारा जहां ओ हो हो
बलमा खुली हवा में महकी हुई फ़िज़ा में
दिल चाहता है मेरा बहकना इधर उधर
छुन छुन बोले मोरी पायल
आजा कहे साजना
छुन छुन बोले मोरी पायल
आजा कहे साजना
आजा के ये सारे नज़ारे
सैंया फीके हैं तेरे बिना ओ हो हो
बलमा खुली हवा में महकी हुई फ़िज़ा में
दिल चाहता है मेरा बहकना इधर उधर
बलमा खुली हवा में
The lyrics of the song "Balma Khuli Hawa Men" by Asha Bhosle express the desire to lose oneself in the intoxicating atmosphere of freedom and love. The opening lines talk about the scent of the air and wanting to be lost in the moment. The imagery is one of being carried away by the wind and unable to resist the temptation of letting oneself go.
The next stanza is about the singer's feet moving restlessly, unsure of where to go. The heart says that it wants to experience the entire world, but it is unclear how or where to begin. The yearning to explore is overwhelming and takes over the singer's sense of direction.
The final stanza refers to the sound of the singer's own ankle bells and the desire for their loved one to hear them and come closer. The world itself seems muted without the presence of their beloved, and all sights and sounds are dulled. The freedom and joy expressed in the song are an indication of the unrestrained nature of love and the feeling of wanting to be carried away.

बलमा खुली हवा में महकी हुई फ़िज़ा में
In the open air with fragrant wind around, my heart desires to wander here and there
दिल चाहता है मेरा बहकना इधर उधर
My heart longs to roam aimlessly
पग पग चलूँ बलखाती
I walk with an air of confidence
खुद भी न जानूँ कहाँ
Not even I know where I am heading
कहता है ये दिल मतवाला
This crazy heart says
आज अपना है सारा जहां ओ हो हो
Today, the entire world belongs to me
छुन छुन बोले मोरी पायल
My anklets jingle
आजा कहे साजना
Come my beloved
आजा के ये सारे नज़ारे
Come, all these sights
सैंया फीके हैं तेरे बिना ओ हो हो
Without you, dear, everything seems dull
बलमा खुली हवा में महकी हुई फ़िज़ा में
In the open air with fragrant wind around, my heart desires to wander here and there
