Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai
Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
ओ मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
सपनो मे चुपके आ चाहे कोई
दिल के चमन को खिलाता है कोई
आँखो से आँखे मिलता है कोई
चुप चुप के जादू चलता है कोई
दूर डगर है तू जादूघर है
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
हाय मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
मेरी हसी में हज़ारो बहारे
मेरी आँखो मे सावन की फुहारे
जब मैं चलू तो चले ये सितारे
जब मैं रुकु तो रुके ये नजारे
बड़ी उलझन है बस मे ना मन है
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
हाय मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
The song "Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai" sung by Asha Bhosle is a beautiful expression of optimism and the belief in the power of dreams. The lyrics convey the idea that life itself is like a dream, something that cannot be possessed or fully grasped, just like the intoxication of alcohol that cannot be contained. The idea is further reinforced with the line "Lakho chahe lakhon rahe, main ruku ya chalu" which means that no matter how many obstacles or choices one faces, one must keep moving forward in life.
The song also explores the theme of love and its transformative power. It suggests that love can come unexpectedly, silently creeping into one's dreams, nurturing the heart's garden, and creating magic that can be seen only in the hidden glances and connections between two souls. The singer describes the person of their love as a distant, magical being who possesses the power to enchant and captivate. The lyrics express the singer's dilemma of being torn between moving forward in life or stopping to enjoy the beauty and power of love.
Overall, "Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai" celebrates the essence of life as a dream filled with aspirations, love, and magic. It encourages listeners to embrace the unpredictable nature of life, to keep dreaming, and to cherish the moments of enchantment that come their way.

मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
My life is like a dream.
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
What cannot be drunk is like wine.
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
Even if there are millions of desires and paths,
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
Whether I stop or move forward,
सपनो मे चुपके आ चाहे कोई
Someone quietly enters into dreams,
दिल के चमन को खिलाता है कोई
Someone makes the garden of the heart bloom,
आँखो से आँखे मिलता है कोई
Someone meets eye to eye,
चुप चुप के जादू चलता है कोई
Someone silently works magic,
दूर डगर है तू जादूघर है
You are a distant path, a magician,
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
Whether I stop or move forward,
हाय मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
Oh, my life is like a dream.
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
What cannot be drunk is like wine.
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
Even if there are millions of desires and paths,
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
Whether I stop or move forward,
मेरी हसी में हज़ारो बहारे
In my laughter, there are thousands of springs.
मेरी आँखो मे सावन की फुहारे
In my eyes, there are showers of rain.
जब मैं चलू तो चले ये सितारे
When I walk, these stars go along.
जब मैं रुकु तो रुके ये नजारे
When I stop, these scenery freezes.
बड़ी उलझन है बस मे ना मन है
There is so much confusion, I can't decide.
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
Whether I stop or move forward,
हाय मेरी जिंदगी एक ख्वाब है
Oh, my life is like a dream.
जो ना पी सके वो शराब है
What cannot be drunk is like wine.
लाखो चाहे लाखो राहे
Even if there are millions of desires and paths,
मैं रुकु या चलू मैं रुकु या चलू
Whether I stop or move forward,
