Yeh Saye Hain Yeh Duniya Hai
Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
परछाईयो की ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
भरी भीड़ मे खाली
भरी भीड़ मे खाली, तन्हाइयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
यहा कोई साहिल सहारा नही है
कही डूबने को किनारा नही है
यहा सारी रौनक ये रुसवायो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है परछाईयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
कई चाँद उठकर जलाए बुझाए
बहुत हमने चाहा ज़रा नींद आए
कई चाँद उठकर जलाए बुझाए
यहा रात होती है बेदारियों की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है परछाईयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
यहा सारे चेहरे है माँगे हुए से
निगाहो मे आँसू भी ताके हुए से
यहा सारे चेहरे है माँगे हुए से
बड़ी नीची राहें है उँचाइयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है परछाईयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
भरी भीड़ मे खाली
भरी भीड़ मे खाली, तन्हाइयो की
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
ये साए है, ये दुनिया है
The lyrics of Asha Bhosle's song "Yeh Saye Hain Yeh Duniya Hai" speak to the sense of isolation and loneliness that one can feel in a crowded, bustling world. The repetition of the phrase "ye saaye hai, ye duniya hai" (these are shadows, this is the world) emphasizes the contrast between the physical presence of people and objects and the intangible, ephemeral quality of their shadows. The lyrics suggest that in this world, there is no safe harbor, no place to find refuge from the pressures and expectations of society.
The second verse expands on this theme, suggesting that there is no respite from the chaos and tumult of the world. The absence of a shore or a coastline implies that the singer is adrift in a vast, uncharted sea of human experience. The third verse speaks to the idea that even in the dark, lonely night, there is no true rest to be found. The implication is that the singer is constantly on guard, always aware of the dangers and uncertainties of life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Yeh Saye Hain Yeh Duniya Hai" are evocative and haunting, capturing a sense of profound alienation and longing.

Super song. Asha ji was awesome as usual and the Gulzar RD combo always produced magic. But, I think the USP of this song is the pin drop silence when the antaras end and before the mukhda begins again. This has been used by RD Burman in Hum na samjhe the also, but only in 1 antara there. Here he has used it in all the antaras and this is simply mond blowing. The man who was known to be a master of sound could produce a gem by using silence too. What a brilliant composer he was!!
