Jab Chali Thandi Hawa
Asha Bhosle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

जब चली ठण्डी हवा जब उठी काली घटा
मुझको ऐ जान-ए-वफ़ा तुम याद आए

जब चली ठण्डी हवा जब उठी काली घटा
मुझको ऐ जान-ए-वफ़ा तुम याद आए

ज़िंदगी की दास्तां चाहे कितनी हो हंसीं
बिन तुम्हारे कुछ नहीं बिन तुम्हारे कुछ नहीं

क्या मज़ा आता सनम आज भूलेसे कहीं
तुम भी आजाते यहीं तुम भी आजाते यहीं
ये बहारें ये फ़िज़ा देखकर ओ दिलरुबा
जाने क्या दिल को हुआ तुम याद आये

जब चली ठण्डी हवा जब उठी काली घटा
मुझको ऐ जान-ए-वफ़ा तुम याद आए

ये नज़ारे ये समा और फिर इतने जवाँ
हाये रे ये मस्तियाँ हाये रे ये मस्तियाँ

ऐसा लगता हैं मुझे जैसे तुम नज़दीक हो
इस चमन से जान-ए-जां इस चमन से जान-ए-जां
सुन के पी पी सदा दिल धड़कता हैं मेरा
आज पहलेसे सिवा तुम याद आए




जब चली ठण्डी हवा जब उठी काली घटा
मुझको ऐ जान-ए-वफ़ा तुम याद आए

Overall Meaning

The song Jab Chali Thandi Hawa is a poignant expression of longing for a loved one. The opening lines "When the cool breeze blows, when the black clouds gather/I am reminded of you, my dear beloved" set the tone for the rest of the song.

Even the happiest moments are dull and meaningless without his presence.


The chorus sets the scene for a bittersweet reunion. The singer wonders what joy her beloved would have felt if he had come today, and muses that he himself might have been in this place right now. The lush scenery and pleasant weather seem to bring about a sort of romantic awakening in her heart, as she finally admits that she is deeply in love with her absent lover.


Overall, the song is a masterful portrayal of unrequited love and the agony of separation. The singer's emotions are raw and honest, offering the listener an intimate window into her pain and longing.

When the cool breeze blows, when dark clouds gather
You, my faithful adore, it’s you I remember.
When the cool breeze blows, when dark clouds gather
You, my faithful adore, it’s you I remember.

The story of life however appealing
Without you, it means nothing
Without you, it means nothing

What pleasure would there be darling, if by some chance if you also came here.
you also came here.
These hills, these surroundings, seeing all these my darling,
You know what happens in my heart? I remember you.
When the cool breeze blows, when dark clouds gather
You, my faithful adore, it’s you I remember

These views, these young seasons
Oh! all these playful signs, so young, oh all these playful signs
it feels like you’re so close to me in this garden, in this garden my love.
Hearing his footsteps my heart beats keep accelerating.
Today more than ever, your memories wake in me.
When the cool breeze blows, when dark clouds gather
You, my faithful adore, it’s you I remember.

Jab chali thadi hawa, jab uthi kaali ghataa
Mujhako ai jaan-e-wafaa tum yaad aaye
Jab chali thadi hawa, jab uthi kaali ghataa
Mujhako ai jaan-e-wafaa tum yaad aaye

Zindagi ki daastaa, chaahe kitani ho hasi
Bin tumhaare kuchh nahi, bin tumhaare kuchh nahi
Kyaa mazaa aataa sanam, aaj bhulese kahi
Tum bhi aajaate yahi, tum bhi aajaate yahi
Ye bahaare ye fizaa, dekhakar o dilarubaa
Jaane kyaa dil ko huaa, tum yaad aaye
Jab chali thadi hawa, jab uthi kaali ghataa
Mujhako ai jaan-e-wafaa tum yaad aaye

Ye nazaare ye samaa, aur phir itane jawan
Haaye re ye mastiyaan, haaye re ye mastiyaan
Aisaa lagataa hai mujhe, jaise tum nazadik ho
Is chaman se jaan-e-jaa, is chaman se jaan-e-jaa
Sun ke usaki sadaa, dil dhadakataa hai meraa
Aaj pahalese siva tum yaad aaye
Jab chali thadi hawa, jab uthi kaali ghataa
Mujhako ai jaan-e-wafaa tum yaad aaye
