Chaha Tha Ek Shakhs Ko

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
आँखों को इंतज़ार था, दे के हुनर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
दिन की वो महफिले गयी, रातों के रत जगे गये
दिन की वो महफिले गयी, रातों के रत जगे गये
कोई समेट कर मेरे, शानो सहर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
झोंका हैं एक बहार का
झोंका हैं एक बहार का, रंगे ख़याल यार भी
झोंका हैं एक
झोंका हैं एक बहार का, रंगे ख़याल यार भी
हर्सू बिखर बिखर गयी
हर्सू बिखर बिखर गयी, खुश्बू जिधर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
उसके ही दम से दिल मे आज, धूप भी चाँदनी भी हैं
उसके ही दम से दिल मे आज, धूप भी चाँदनी भी हैं
दे के वो अपनी याद के
दे के वो अपनी याद के, शम्सो कमाल चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
उछा बकुचा दर बदर
उछा बकुचा दर बदर, कब से भटक रहा है दिल
उछा बकुचा
उछा बकुचा दर बदर, कब से भटक रहा है दिल
हुमको भुला के राह वो
हुमको भुला के राह वो, अपनी डगर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
The lyrics of the song "Chaha tha Ek Shaqs Ko" by Asha Bhosle convey a sense of longing and loss for a beloved person who has departed. The singer expresses their anticipation and expectation, explaining that their eyes were waiting for this person, but they have now disappeared. The first two lines repeat this sentiment, emphasizing the yearning and disappointment that the singer feels.
The next verse conveys the idea that the gatherings and festivities of the day have passed, and the nights have been spent awake. The singer laments that someone who could have consoled them and shared their sorrows has also gone away. The repetition of the line "chaha tha ek shakhs ko jaane kidhar chala gaya" emphasizes the confusion and bewilderment that the singer experiences, not knowing where the person they yearn for has gone.
The third verse uses the metaphor of a gentle breeze of spring, symbolizing the beloved's presence and essence. However, even this pleasant breeze has dispersed, leaving behind the fragrance that has chosen a different path. This further accentuates the feeling of loss and longing.

आँखों को इंतज़ार था, दे के हुनर चला गया
I was waiting eagerly, but he left after showing his talent
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
I desired for him, but he went off to an unknown place
दिन की वो महफिले गयी, रातों के रत जगे गये
He left the gatherings of the day, and kept awake in the nights
कोई समेट कर मेरे, शानो सहर चला गया
Someone held me close, but he walked away with his pride
झोंका हैं एक बहार का, रंगे ख़याल यार भी
He is a gust of spring, even his thoughts are adorned with colors
हर्सू बिखर बिखर गयी, खुश्बू जिधर चला गया
Fragrance of flowers scattered everywhere, as he went in a different direction
उसके ही दम से दिल मे आज, धूप भी चाँदनी भी हैं
Because of his presence, today there's both sunlight and moonlight in my heart
दे के वो अपनी याद के, शम्सो कमाल चला गया
Leaving behind memories of himself, he left with his extraordinary radiance
उछा बकुचा दर बदर, कब से भटक रहा है दिल
My heart has been drifting aimlessly, here and there since long
हुमको भुला के राह वो, अपनी डगर चला गया
Forgetting about me, he went on his own path
चाहा था एक शख्स को जाने किधर चला गया
I desired for a person, but he went off to an unknown place
