Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
जब तक रहे तन में जिया
वादा रहा, ओ साथिया
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
जब तक रहे तन में जिया
वादा रहा, ओ साथिया
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
धूप लगेगी जब जब तुमको सजना
ओ डारून्गी मैं आंचल की छैयां
साँझ पड़े जब थक जाओगे बलमा
वारूँगी मैं गोरी गोरी बैयां
डोलूँगी बनके चाँदनी मैं तेरे अँगना
डोलूँगी बनके चाँदनी मैं तेरे अँगना
जब तक रहे तन में जिया वादा रहा ओ साथिया
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
सारी जनम को अब तो अपने तन पे हाँ
ओ ओढ़ी चुनरिया मैंने साजन की
खिली रहे मुस्कान तेरी फिर चाहे
ओ लुट जाये बगिया मेरे जीवन की
मैं जीवन छोड़ दूँ छोड़ूँ न मैं तेरी गलियां
मैं जीवन छोड़ दूँ छोड़ूँ न मैं तेरी गलियां
जब तक रहे तन में जिया वादा रहा ओ साथिया
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
The lyrics to Asha Bhosle's song "Jab Tak Rahe Tan Mein Jiya" are about a person's commitment and devotion to their loved one. The song begins by stating that as long as the person's body and soul exist, the promise to stay loyal and faithful to their partner will remain. The chorus repeats this vow, emphasizing that they belong to each other.
In the second verse, the singer talks about providing comfort to their loved one during difficult times. They promise to be a source of shade during times of harsh sunlight and to provide a cool breeze at night when their partner is tired. The singer will also sway like a moonlit night to provide serenity and beauty to their partner's life.
In the final verse, the singer expresses their willingness to give up everything, even their life, to stay with their loved one. Even if their life is reduced to just a single garment ("oṛhī chunariyā"), they will remain loyal and devoted to their beloved. The song ends with another repetition of the vow to stay together as long as their body and soul remain.
Overall, the lyrics convey a strong sense of commitment and loyalty to a loved one, promising to be there through good times and bad, to offer comfort and beauty, and to sacrifice everything for the sake of the relationship.

जब तक रहे तन में जिया
As long as my soul remains in my body
वादा रहा, ओ साथिया
I promise, oh beloved
हम तुम्हारे लिये तुम हमारे लिये
I am yours and you are mine
धूप लगेगी जब जब तुमको सजना
Whenever you feel the heat of the sun, my beloved
ओ डारून्गी मैं आंचल की छैयां
I will protect you with the shadow of my veil
साँझ पड़े जब थक जाओगे बलमा
When evening falls and you are tired, beloved
वारूँगी मैं गोरी गोरी बैयां
I will massage your fair arms
डोलूँगी बनके चाँदनी मैं तेरे अँगना
I will swing and dance like the moon in your courtyard
सारी जनम को अब तो अपने तन पे हाँ
I now wear the wedding veil on my body for eternity
ओ ओढ़ी चुनरिया मैंने साजन की
I have adorned myself with a veil, my beloved
खिली रहे मुस्कान तेरी फिर चाहे
May your smile always bloom, even if
ओ लुट जाये बगिया मेरे जीवन की
my garden of life is destroyed
मैं जीवन छोड़ दूँ छोड़ूँ न मैं तेरी गलियां
I will leave this life, but I won't leave your side
