Nikle The Kahan Jane Ke Liye
Asha Bhosle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

निकले थे कहा जाने के लिए
पहुंचे है कहा मालूम नहीं
पहुंचे है कहा मालूम नहीं
अब अपने भटकते कदमों को
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं

हमने भी कभी हो
हमने भी कभी इस गुलशन में
एक ख्वाब-ए-बहारा देखा था
एक ख्वाब-ए-बहारा देखा था
कब फूल झड़े
कब फूल झड़े कब गर्द उड़े
कब आयी खिजा मालूम नहीं
कब आयी खिजा मालूम नहीं
अब अपने भटकते कदमों को
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं

दिल शोला ए ग़म से हो
दिल शोला ए ग़म से खाक हुआ
या आग लगी अरमानो में
या आग लगी अरमानो में
क्या चीज़ जली
क्या चीज़ जली क्यों सीने से
उठता है धुवा मालूम नहीं
उठता है धुवा मालूम नहीं
अब अपने भटकते कदमों को
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं

बरबाद वफ़ा हो
बरबाद वफ़ा का अफसाना
हम किससे कहे और कैसे कहें
हम किससे कहे और कैसे कहें
खामोश हैं लब
खामोश हैं लब और दुनिया को
अश्को की जुबान मालूम नहीं
अश्को की जुबान मालूम नहीं
निकले थे कहा जाने के लिए
पहुंचे है कहा मालूम नहीं
पहुंचे है कहा मालूम नहीं
अब अपने भटकते कदमों को




मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं
मंजिल का निशा मालूम नहीं

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nikle The Kahan Jane Ke Liye" by Asha Bhosle delve deep into the theme of uncertainty and confusion amidst a journey towards an unknown destination. The repetition of phrases like "Nikle The Kahan Jane Ke Liye" and "Pahuche Hai Kaha Maalum Nahi" highlights the sense of being lost and not knowing where one is headed. This reflects the common human experience of embarking on a path with a goal in mind but facing unexpected twists and turns along the way.


The second stanza introduces the idea of dreaming and hoping for a better future, represented by the metaphor of a blossoming garden. However, the uncertainty of when the flowers will wither or when dry leaves will fall hints at the impermanence of dreams and desires. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for a time when everything seemed possible and the future was filled with endless potential.


As the song progresses, the imagery of a burning heart and unanswered questions symbolize the struggles and pain that come with pursuing one's aspirations. The lines "Dil Shola E Gham Se Ho" and "Kya Cheez Jali Kyun Seene Se" evoke a sense of emotional turmoil and inner conflict, where the singer grapples with intense emotions without clear answers or resolutions.


The final stanza delves into the complexities of love and loyalty, pondering on the challenges of expressing one's feelings and the difficulty of conveying emotions through tears. The repeated refrain of "Ab Apne Bhatakate Kadam Ko Manzil Ka Nisha Maalum Nahi" encapsulates the overarching theme of not knowing where one's journey will lead and the struggle to find a sense of purpose and direction in a world full of uncertainties. Overall, the lyrics of "Nikle The Kahan Jane Ke Liye" capture the poignant essence of human experience, with all its ups and downs, doubts, and hopes.

Ashaji's rendition with flawless pronunciation of Urdu words is fantastic and soulful! मंझिल का पता मालूम नहीं ......None knows, we just arrived on earth and would depart without achieving anything 😢 Helen's nimble footwork and superb Kathak mudras are stunning to say the least! Finally we may say.....Once upon a time, bollywood witnessed a golden period of music....
Without watching the name of the MD, I instinctively knew, it was Roshan!!!

What a meaningful song ! It happens in everybody's life : Nikle the kahan jaane ke liye, pahoche hai kahan maloom nahin.? Wah Sahirji, Wah Roshanji, Wah Helenji, Wah Meena kumariji, & Ashaji.

Super song.

@raghuram6553

Shakeel's poetry is the ultimate expression of helplessness. Beyond the song, one has to take notice that this poet was deep, it could a biographic expression. As he kept drifting based on appreciations received but never did he establish himself financially, and then by the time he realized he was late, he was terminally ill.
