Kahin Door Jsn Din Dhal Jaye Lyrics In Hindi

कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए मेरे ख़यालों के आँगन में कोई सपनों के दीप जलाए, दीप जलाए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए कभी यूँ ही जब हुई बोझल साँसें भर आई बैठे-बैठे जब यूँ ही आँखें कभी यूँ ही जब हुई बोझल साँसें भर आई बैठे-बैठे जब यूँ ही आँखें तभी मचल के, प्यार से चल के छुए कोई मुझे, पर नज़र ना आए, नज़र ना आए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए कहीं तो ये दिल कभी मिल नहीं पाते कहीं पे निकल आएँ जन्मों के नाते कहीं तो ये दिल कभी मिल नहीं पाते कहीं पे निकल आएँ जन्मों के नाते है मीठी उलझन, बैरी अपना मन अपना ही हो के सहे दर्द पराए, दर्द पराए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए दिल जाने मेरे सारे भेद ये गहरे खो गए कैसे मेरे सपने सुनहरे दिल जाने मेरे सारे भेद ये गहरे खो गए कैसे मेरे सपने सुनहरे ये मेरे सपने, यही तो हैं अपने मुझसे जुदा ना होंगे इनके ये साए, इनके ये साए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए मेरे ख़यालों के आँगन में कोई सपनों के दीप जलाए, दीप जलाए कहीं दूर जब दिन ढल जाए साँझ की दुल्हन बदन चुराए, चुपके से आए

She wrote: “Mujhe abhi pata chala ki dil ko chunewale geet likhnewale kavi Yogesh ji ka aaj swargwas hua. Ye sunke mujhe bahut dukh hua. Yogesh ji ke likhe kai geet maine gaaye. Yogesh ji bahut shaant aur madhur swabhav ke insan the. Main unko vinamra shraddhanjali arpan karti hun (I just came to know of the demise of the poet Yogesh ji whose songs touched one’s heart. The news pains me. I have sung songs that Yogesh ji wrote. Yogesh ji was a man of gentle disposition. I offer him my humble tribute).”

Some of Yogesh’s best lyrics were in the films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee. He wrote classics such as Zindagi Kaise Yeh Paheli and Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye in Anand. His memorable numbers include Rajnigandha Phool Tumhare and Kayi Baar Yun Hi Dekha Hai in Rajnigandha; Badi Sooni Sooni Hai in Mili; Jaaneman Jaaneman and Na Jaane Kyun in Chhoti Si Baat; Rimjhim Giray Saawan in Manzil; and Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuchh Kaha in Baton Baton Mein, among numerous others.

Born in Lucknow in 1943, Yogesh arrived in Bombay (now Mumbai) of the sixties to be a poet and also a lyricist in films. His first Bollywood break was as a lyricist in the film Sakhi Robin (1962). He penned six songs for the film directed by BJ Patel and starring Rajan Kapoor, Nilofar and Babu Raje.

Yogesh continued working into his late seventies. In fact, his last work is in the 2018 release, Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain, which featured Sanjay Mishra, Anshuman Jha and Shivani Raghivanshi. Yogesh wrote two songs for the film’s soundtrack that were composed by Pravin Kunwar.

Deep kalsi Fateh doe Kiya dollar saain Tera harjaai Karma Tu jaanda nai saanu kaka

Menu janda ni jaake meri wiki padh Menu chadd apne kam da tu zikr kar Mera career karda ae soar Singh karda ni rap yaara karda ae roar

Tu tan karda ae bore Teri saheli bheje text Mai tan karda e ignore Pehlan bechda si cellphone Mai roz late aaunda si Raat nu mai thode paise layi dhol vajaunda si Aaj apne yaara nu Mai karda employee Mighty ducks vangu yaara I m just flying wid my boys Laye si mai khaab Hun kehnde mainu saab I ain’t got a job For that i thank god

Kise hor bande nal mainu karo na compare Mere warga koi nahi mai haiga bada rare Enne gaaney kite adde haini mainu yaad I opened all the doors for jehde aaye meto baad

I won’t speak hindi coz you know I am from punjab Punjab means punjabi boy i got the chaabi Nana just passed away so now he with nani Rip to both of them my success is a toast to them

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Mainu aa janda hai hassa Dekh ke ve lokan nu karde tamashaa Tu mainu jaanda nai Tanvi bole mere baare hoi thodi nirasha

Jaaney ki ve tu mera kado da v grind Kehde saal ton mai kiti sigi shuru rhyme Par tere jahe ik pal na launde kehan nu Ehda bas changa haiga time

Tiime ape naio aaya layauna paya Kismat da ni khaya kamauna paya Mera tan jee nahi c kuch kehn da Par tere sabak lai eh banauna paya

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Jaaney bina banda kar mujhe taaney dena Lele mere naam se prerna mera kaam hai khelna

I got the game on lock chaabi aur taaley bina Leli mene inki vo bhi apna l**d daaley bina Mujhe kon pasand kon nahi khayun 100 kasam Rapperon ko karun aur daffan Mere baaton me hai bohot wazan Chaurd wahi haara daurd nahi Boley krishna kaul sahi Milega na aur kahin

Skill mera will power se Chalta hai dil mera Still mera sunna Par suna na real tera

Try kar cypher hyper mic par Like a sniper rifle yaaney one shot kill mera Try kar cypher hyper mic par like a sniper rifle Yaaney one shot kill mera Try kar cypher hyper mic par Like a sniper rifle yaaney one shot kill mera

Kabhi aakey dekho meri gang gang gang Ladkon ke utry hai veham veham veham Tere liye beta nahi time time time Mundey ehthe rehnde saarey kaim kaim kaim

Harjai superman hai booth mai Mai gaya tere plan pe mootkey Pehle wala harjas margaya shit Akkey rap sunley mere bhoot se

Fuddu loggon ko maukey itney kyu diye Tum jaison ke diwaro pe hai maine mooh diye Meri peeth piche baten kare chu*tye Inhe pata nahi kitney dil mene choodiye

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Tu mainu jaanda nai Par gallan mere baare kare thaan thaan jaake Tu mainu jaanda nai Par mera hi zikar kyu teri ve zubaan te

Jaane na jaane mujhe par jaane Anjaane mein logon ki mehfil mein Meri kahani aati pehle Kaise mai bana kese banunga kya kar raha hu Par mere kaam se mere apno ki chhaati fele

Thank you for calling mam how can i help you?

Kehkke pahuncha main yahan pe To itna na fail tu beta ek din Do jon jab kar raha tha fun tu Ab main achha kese pehmu that Dose not concern you So f**k you

Or jo salahein milri hongi Saari bhaad main jaayein Cuz i am a rebel feel me homie?

Jis path pe chala main tu bhi Chal ke dekh aadhe raaste Pahunchega teri taangein hilri hongi.

[asksabhaniblog]

Yogesh Gaur (born 1943) is an Indian writer and lyricist.[1] He wrote songs for Bollywood, and is best known for songs like, Kahin Door Jab Din Dal Jaaye and Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli in Anand (1971)

Yogesh was born on 16 April 1943 in Lucknow , Uttar Pradesh.

He moved in search of work, his cousin was a screenplay director. His first work was with Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and wrote Kahin Door Jab Din Dal Jaaye. He wrote songs like Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli and Rimjhim gire Saawan, Kai baar yunhi dekha hai from Rajnigandha and Na bole tum na maine kuch kaha from Baaton Baaton Mein.

Yogesh also worked in television serials as a writer.

Lyric writer Yogesh Gaur was a man in great demand among the slice-of-life filmmakers like Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The story goes that Mukherjee heard the lyrics of two songs Yogesh had written for producer LB Lachman's film, and wanted them for Anand.

Lachmanji was adamant about keeping the songs, but Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and Mukherjee pleaded with him. Bachchan, who was a young man then, would say to me, Please get us these two songs somehow. Finally, Lachmanji relented and gave them one of the songs, says Yogesh.

The song, Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye, shot the lyricist to overnight popularity. Mukherjee was so happy he got Yogesh to pen another song for him, Zindagi kaisi yeh paheli for Anand too. Soon, the fan mail was pouring in.

Funnily, people also sent me flowers for Maine tere liye, which was written by Gulzar, says the man, popularly known as 'shaayar' by actresses of that time. The nickname happened because the heroines, when they reported on the sets, would insist he recite some of his shaayari. "Producers thought the heroines were getting distracted by my poetry, especially when I waxed eloquent about their beauty," he laughs.

Known as the 'sensible film lyricist', Yogesh worked primarily with Chatterjee and Mukherjee, rather than 'masala' filmmakers. My problem was similar to that faced by the filmmakers themselves. My work was appreciated, but was restricted to 'art' films. But they were more real than arty, he says.

Working with Basu Chatterjee was not the easiest, says Yogesh. Basuda was a master of his craft, but brainstorming sessions with him weren't all that fun. While discussing a song for Rajnigandha, he would say, in true Bengali style: ‘Uske baad, Vidya wahan se aata hai.’ I had to stop him and ask if he meant heroine Vidya Sinha’s character or hero Amol Palekar’s. He got angry and said he was referring to Vidya. I didn’t bother explaining to him that he had actually mixed up the gender while speaking in Hindi, Yogesh says. But the collaboration was a fruitful one. Yogesh wrote some of his best songs for Chatterjee, like Kai baar yunhi dekha hai from Rajnigandha and Na bole tum na maine kuch kaha from Baaton Baaton Mein.

Incidentally, Yogesh began by writing for C-grade potboilers like Flying Circus, Marvel Men, Rustom Kaun and Husn Ka Ghulam. After arriving in Bombay from his ‘nawabi kothi’ in Lucknow, he was looked after by his cousin, screenplay writer Vijendra Gaur, for a while. He often hung around the sets, not knowing what to do. Depressed about leaving his home at a young age – he was 16 – Yogesh spent hours at Marine Drive and the Hanging Gardens brooding about his situation, and penning his thoughts. It was while sharing his diary with music composer Robin Banerjee, that he was coaxed into writing lyrics for a tune Banerjee had created. Yogesh took the job and the song got selected for a film, which never got made.

Several jam sessions with Banerjee followed, leading to six songs that were selected for Sakhi-Robin, the film that marked Yogesh’s entry into the stunt-film genre — and the industry itself. I got Rs 25 per song, and a total of Rs 150. Two of the songs were played on primetime slots on Radio Ceylon. That helped, he says.

But the big league had to wait. With just enough money to shift from a jhuggi in Andheri to a chawl in Oshiwara, Yogesh couldn’t buy discs of his own compositions. He would spend hours at the home of Sabita Chowdhury, wife of music composer Salil Chowdhury. "She had a jukebox, and struggling musicians would get together to listen to music on it. It was during one such session that I requested a meeting with Salil da."

The first time Yogesh saw Salil da, he was too intimidated to open his mouth.

"He lived in a room full of encyclopedias and stuff, and appeared oblivious to the world. I had to make repeated visits to make my presence felt." The break, however, came a few months later. After the death of his regular collaborator, lyricist Shailendra, Chowdhury was looking for another writer. He gave Yogesh half an hour to write a song. Yogesh got cold feet and couldn’t think of anything.

"Salilda’s assistant laughed and said a novice like me could never do justice to Salilda’s tunes. That shook my confidence." A dejected Yogesh walked out, but while waiting for the bus, was struck by some lines. He went back to Salil da and recited them. "He started screaming out to his wife, Sabita di. I thought he would tell her how incompetent I was, and then kick me out. Instead, he told her that I had written some beautiful lyrics.

That was a moment I will never forget," says the lyricist. It’s right up there with the time that Lata Mangeshkar complimented him on a song for the first time. Yogesh has worked in more than 100 films, and written for albums as well. His most recent work are Kuch Khatta Kuch Meetha and twofilms, which are lying in the cans "The style of working has changed. Earlier, we were given a situation and asked to write accordingly. Today, the brief is ‘superhit duet likhna hai’," he says.[3]

“Kahin Door Jab Din” comes as one of the rare moments in the film when Anand displays a softer, introspective side to his character. The translation and lyrics of the song is deeply moving–a dying man watches the sunset, reflecting with a kind of loving wistfulness on his unfulfilled dreams. The beauty of these lyrics in the context of the film evokes a sense of what Japanese art has called mono na aware–a sensitivity to ephemera, a gentle sadness for the transience of things even as they occur (in this case, his own life). It should be noted, that although I have translated some lines as referring to a woman–I think this song can be read in many different ways. The lyrics may speak to the woman Anand once loved who is no longer with him, but the womanly embodiment of his longing may be also symbolic of all unknown experiences of life that Anand will miss, for like the setting sun, his life is slowly ebbing away. To me, “Kahin Door Jab Din” is beautiful, restrained, and one of the finest examples of Rajesh Khanna’s ability to move an audience without the crutches of his famous winking and dancing.

Kahin Door Jab Din Lyrics and Translation:

kahii.N duur jab din Dhal jaaye Somewhere far away when the day dulls saa.Njh kii dulhan badan churaaye chhupke se aaye The dusk sneaks up, shyly like a bride mere khayaalo.N ke aa.Ngan mei.N In the courtyard of my imagination koii sapno.N ke diip jalaaye, diip jalaaye Someone lights up the lamp of my dreams

kabhii yuu.N hii, jab huii, bojhal saa.Nse.N Sometimes when my breathing becomes burdensome for no reason bhar aayii baiThe baiThe, jab yuu.N hii aa.Nkhe.N When my eyes well up just sitting around tabhii machal ke, pyaar se chal ke Then with a loving flutter chhue koii mujhe par nazar na aaye, nazar na aaye Someone touches me, but I cannot see her

kahii.N to yeh, dil kabhii, mil nahii.N paate Somewhere these hearts are unable to come together kahii.N se nikal aaye, janamo.N ke naate But somewhere a connection emerges that transcends many lifetimes ghanii thii uljhan, bairii apnaa man The problem was deep and my own heart turned against me apnaa hii hoke sahe dard paraaye, dard paraaye By belonging to me, yet bearing the pain of another

dil jaane, mere saare, bhed yeh gahare My heart knows all my deep secrets ho gaye kaise mere, sapane sunahare How my dreams became golden yeh mere sapne, yahii.N to hai.N apne These are my dreams, these alone belong to me mujh se judaa na ho.Nge inke yeh saaye, inke yeh saaye Even their shadows cannot be separated from me

kahii.N duur jab din Dhal jaaye Somewhere far away when the day dulls saa.Njh kii dulhan badan churaaye chhupke se aaye The dusk sneaks up, shyly like a bride
