Kahan le chale ho

Movie : Durgesh Nandini (1956) Singer: Lata Mangeshkar Music Director: Hemant Kumar Lyrics: Rajinder Kishan

Kahaa.N Le Chale Ho Bataado Musaafir Sitaaro.N Se Aage Ye Kaisaa Jahaa.N Hai
Khayaalo.N Kii Ma.Njil Ye Khvaabo.N Kii Mahafil
Samajh Me.N Na Aaye Ye Duniyaa Kahaa.N Hai

Kahaa.N Rah Gaye Qaafile.N Baadalo.N Ke
Zamiin Chhup Gayii Hai Tale Baadalo.N Ke
Hai Mujhako Yaqii.N Ke Hai Jannat Vahii.NYe
Ajab Si Fizaa Hai, Ajab Ye Samaa Hai
Kahaa.N Le Chale Ho

Nazar Kii Dua Ka Javaab Aa Rahaa Hai
Meri Aarazuu Pe Shabaab Aa Rahaa Hai
Ye Khamoshiyaa.N Bhi Hai.N Ik Daastaa.N Koi
Kahata Hai Mujhase Mohabbat Javaa.N Hai
Kahaa.N Le Chale Ho

Muhabbat Bharii Is Jahaa.N Kii Hai.N Raahe.N
Jinhe.N Dekhakar Kho Gayii Hai.N Nigaahe.N
Ye Halakii Havaa Laayii Kaisaa Nashaa, Na
Rahaa Hosh Itana Meraa Dil Kahaa.N Hai
Kahaa.N Le Chale Ho

Tell me, O traveller, whereto are you leading
What's this world -
here desires turn into destinations
dreams gather in concert - beyond the stars ?
Can't figure out where this is.

Caravans of clouds are long past
The earth hidden beneath sheets of clouds
Sure paradise is hereabouts
with this unreal ambience, unreal times.

Answered are the prayers sung by the eyes
it is the youthfulness of my desires
These silences tell a story of their own
Someone whispers, love is still young..

The paths of this life are full of love

and looking ahead the look itself is lost

This breeze is mild and intoxicating, I know not

now where my heart is.
