मेरी वीणा तुम बिन रोये
मेरी वीणा तुम बिन रोये
सजाना सजाना सजाना
मेरी वीणा तुम बिन रोये
सावरिया तुम जहा बेस हो
मैं वो गाओं न जानू
बीतेगी कब बिरहा की
ये पापन शाम ना जानू
हाय मधुर मिलन कब होये
सजाना सजाना सजाना
मेरी वीणा तुम बिन रोये

तुझ बिन मेरे गीत अधूरे
होठों पे शरमाये
साज उठाऊ तार ना बाजे
तड़प तड़प रह जाए
मेरी पीर न जाने कोई
सजाना सजाना सजाना





मेरी वीणा तुम बिन रोये
हाय रोये हाय रोये

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Meri Veena Tum Bin Roye" by Lata Mangeshkar express deep emotions of longing and despair. The repetition of the phrase "Meri Veena Tum Bin Roye" emphasizes the pain and sadness felt by the singer in the absence of her beloved. The imagery of a veena, a traditional Indian musical instrument, is used to symbolize the connection and harmony between two souls. The veena becomes a metaphor for the singer's heart, which feels incomplete and unable to express its full emotions without her beloved by her side.


In the next stanza, the singer addresses her lover as "Savariya" and expresses her inability to sing without him. She is lost and lonely without him, unable to move forward and waiting for the day when they can be reunited. The mention of "biraha ki ye papna shaam" conveys a sense of darkness and longing that haunts the singer in the absence of her beloved. The yearning for a sweet reunion is evident in the repeated plea to "Sajana," emphasizing the desire for their love to be reunited.


The third stanza delves deeper into the pain of separation, as the singer describes her songs as incomplete without her lover. The embarrassment and shyness she feels on her lips, and the yearning for her music to be complete with the accompaniment of her lover's presence, depict a sense of incompleteness and longing. The imagery of a silent saj and a veena whose strings remain untouched reflect the emotional turmoil and emptiness that the singer feels in her heart without her beloved.


The final lines of the song express the profound sadness and tears shed by the singer in the absence of her beloved. The repetition of "Haye roye" highlights the depth of sorrow and pain experienced in separation. The singer's soulful rendition of these lyrics conveys a heartfelt plea for reunion and completion, as she longs for her veena to sing once again with the presence of her beloved. Overall, the song captures the essence of love, separation, and the intense emotions that come with being apart from the one you hold dear.

आपका यह प्रयास अद्भुत् अद्वितीय है। वास्तविक अर्थों में भारतीय चलचित्र जगत् के स्वर्णिम-काल का परिचय वर्त्तमान पीढ़ी को समर्पित भाव से कराने का कार्य्य जो आप निरन्तर किये जा रहे हैं वह प्रशंसा से परे कृतज्ञता का भाव उत्पन्न करता है। आपका अनुग्रह साधुवाद के योग्य है। आपकी लगन, प्रतिबद्धता अतुलनीय है। आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ। धन्यवाद!

Superbly composed by the great music director of golden era Madan Mohanji, sung sweetly by Bharat Ratna Lataji for the golden era film Dekh Kabira Roya, written by the great lyrist Rajinder krishan ji. Evergreen, hit song of golden era. Old is gold. Superb video and audio.
