Dhuan
Asha Bhosle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ये धुआँ कहाँ से उठ रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है
ये धुआँ कहाँ से उठ रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है

क्या पता क्या खबर जमाने को
क्या पता क्या पता
क्या खबर जमाने को
तोड़ कर दिल के क़ैद खाने को
कोई अरमान निकल रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है हो हो

मैं कहा कहा ये महखाना
भर के लाना तो एक पयमाना
इरादा तो बदल रहा है




ये तो मेरा दिल जल रहा है
ये तो मेरा दिल

Overall Meaning

The song "Dhuan" by Asha Bhosle is a beautiful song that speaks to the pain and confusion that can come with love. The opening lines, "Ye dhuaan kahan se uth raha hai, Ye toh mera dil jal raha hai" speak of the confusion and mystery surrounding the smoke rising - where did it come from? And the heartache felt by the singer ("my heart is burning"). As the song continues, the singer reflects on the unpredictability of life and what is yet to come - "Kya pata kya khabar zamaneko, Tod kar dil ke qaid khano ko, Koi armaan nikal raha hai" meaning "who knows what the future holds, breaking free from the prison of the heart, some desire is emerging". The song continues to reveal the emotional turmoil of the singer as she tries to make sense of her emotions and what they mean.


One interpretation of the song is that it is about the confusion and pain that can come with falling in love with someone who is not attainable or unavailable. The smoke rising could be a metaphor for the elusive nature of love, and the pain felt by the singer could be a result of her unrequited feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the situation and is trying to make sense of her feelings and emotions as she navigates the complexities of love.

One of many underrated A.R. Rahman gems.

@arunbakt

lucky to have A R R composing so many wonderful songs..feel we as fans don't deserve such gems..we seem to neglect it :(

@zulfi1984

Arun Bakt true...even this film dint deserve such gems...but it's a r Rahman...he always gives his everything to his commitments..

@mfad4347

@@zulfi1984 If you had watched this film, you wouldn't have said this about it. It's a hidden gem with great music, great screenplay, great performances, great cinematography. You surely know nothing about Art.
