Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

बहार ख़तम हुई
दिल गया ख़ुशी भी गयी
वो क्या गए के मोहब्बत की ज़िन्दगी भी गयी
चले दिल की दुनिया जो बरबाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के
चले दिल की दुनिया जो बरबाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के

किसी तरह आता नहीं चैन दिल को
न खामोश रह के न फ़रियाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के
चले दिल की दुनिया जो बरबाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के

अरे ओ मेरे दिल के दुश्मन ज़माने
हा हा हा हा
तुझे क्या मिला मुझ को बर्बाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के
चले दिल की दुनिया जो बरबाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के

ख़ुशी दे के तकदीर ने दे दिया ग़म
हा हा हा हा
किया क़ैद क्यों मुझको आज़ाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के

चले दिल की दुनिया जो बरबाद कर के
बहुत रोयेंगे उनको हम याद कर के

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Suraiya's song "Chale Dil Ki Duniya" tell a story of heartbreak and loss. The opening lines set the tone, as the singer describes the end of spring, and with it the end of happiness. The next line reveals that not only did the person she loved leave, but the life they had built together has also left her. The chorus then repeats the idea that whoever destroyed their world will regret it, as the singer will remember them and cry for a long time.

The second verse continues to describe the pain of the singer's heart, unable to find peace or to express its sorrow. The chorus is repeated once more, and then the song concludes with the singer addressing her enemies - the people who have caused her pain - and mocking them. She tells them that they will regret what they have done to her, as she will remember and mourn the lost love for a long time.

Overall, "Chale Dil Ki Duniya" is a song about the aftermath of heartbreak, focusing on the pain and sadness that remain once love has ended. The lyrics are emotional and powerful, and the melody adds to the melancholy feel of the piece.

My heart can not find peace anyhow
