Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
बुझ गयी राह से छॉंव
दूर है दूर है पीह का गाँव
धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
जी को बहला लिया
तूने आस निराश का खेल किया
तूने आस निराश का खेल किया
चार दीनो में कोई जिया ना जिया
जहर ये साँस का पिया ना पिया
जहर ये साँस का पिया ना पिया
ये हवा सब ले गयी
कारवाँ के निशान भी उड़ा ले गयी
कारवाँ के निशान भी उड़ा ले गयी
उड़ती हवाओ वाले मिलेंगे कहा
उड़ती हवाओ वाले मिलेंगे कहा
कोई बता दो मेरे पिया का निशान
कोई बता दो मेरे पिया का निशान
समय ओ धीरे चलो
बुझ गयी राह से छॉंव
दूर है दूर है पी का गाँव
धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
The song "Samay O Dhire Chalo" by Asha Bhosle is a beautiful composition that reflects on the passage of time and the journey of life. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and the need to slow down and appreciate the present moment.
In the first verse, the singer urges us to walk slowly and attentively because the path ahead is unclear and veiled. The destination seems distant and unknown, creating a sense of uncertainty. The repetition of "dhire chalo dhire chalo" emphasizes the importance of taking things slowly and not rushing through life.
The second verse highlights the impact of someone's actions on the singer's well-being. The person in question has played a game of teasing and disappointment, leaving the singer feeling unfulfilled and longing for more. The phrase "chaar deeno mein koi jiya na jiya" suggests that the singer has not experienced true joy or happiness in a long time. The mention of taking poison without actually drinking it symbolizes the pain and despair that the singer has endured.
The third verse talks about how the wind has taken away everything, including the remnants of a journey. The caravan's signs, which represent memories and milestones, have been blown away by the wind. The singer wonders where the wind will take them, questioning if they will ever reunite with their beloved. The repetition of "udti hawaon wale milenge kaha" implies a longing for reunion and a desire for someone to indicate the way back to their loved one.
The chorus, "Samay O Dhire Chalo," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the message of moving slowly and deliberately through life. The singer reminds us that the path has faded and appears distant, encouraging us to take our time and savor each step. The distance between the singer and their beloved is also mentioned, further reinforcing the need to proceed with patience and caution.
Overall, "Samay O Dhire Chalo" expresses the importance of living in the present and appreciating the journey of life, even when faced with obstacles. It encourages us to take things slowly, cherish the moments, and remember that the destination may be far away, but the joy is in the journey itself.

समय ओ धीरे चलो
Let us move slowly with time
बुझ गयी राह से छॉंव
The light has dimmed from our path
दूर है दूर है पीह का गाँव
Far away, far away is the destination of love
धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
Just move slowly, just move slowly
जी को बहला लिया
You have appeased the heart
तूने आस निराश का खेल किया
You played with the game of hopelessness
चार दीनो में कोई जिया ना जिया
In four days, no life was lived
जहर ये साँस का पिया ना पिया
This poisoned breath was not consumed
ये हवा सब ले गयी
This wind has taken everything away
कारवाँ के निशान भी उड़ा ले गयी
It even swept away the signs of the caravan
उड़ती हवाओ वाले मिलेंगे कहा
Where will the companions of the flying winds meet?
कोई बता दो मेरे पिया का निशान
Someone please tell me the mark of my beloved
समय ओ धीरे चलो
Let us move slowly with time
बुझ गयी राह से छॉंव
The light has dimmed from our path
दूर है दूर है पी का गाँव
Far away, far away is the destination of love
धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
Just move slowly, just move slowly

समय ओ धीरे चलो
बुझ गई राह से छाँव
दूर है दूर है पी का गाँव
धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
जी को बहला लिया
तूने आस निराश का खेल किया - २
चार दिनों में कोई जिया ना जिया - २
ज़हर ये साँस का पिया ना पिया - २
ये हवा सब ले गई
कारवां के निशां भी उड़ा ले गई
उड़ती हवाओं वाले मिलेंगे कहाँ - २
कोई बता दो मेरे पिया का निशाँ - २
समय ओ धीरे चलो
बुझ गई राह से छाँव दूर है,
दूर है पी का गाँव धीरे चलो धीरे चलो
