Kaha Chala Aye Mere Jogi
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
kisee yek dil ke kaaran yoo saaree duniyaan tyaag ke
chhod de saaree duniyaan kisee ke liye
ye munaasib naheen aadamee ke liye
pyaar se bhee jaruree kaam hai
pyaar sabakuchh naheen jindagee ke liye
tan se tan kaa milan ho n paayaa to kyaa
man se man kaa milan koee kam to nahee
khushboo aatee rahe door hee se sahee
saamane ho chaman koee kam to nahee
chaand milataa nahee, sab ko sansaar me
hai diyaa hee bahot roshanee ke liye
kitanee hasarat se takatee ye kaliyaan tumhe
kyoo bahaaron ko fir se bulaate nahee
yek duniyaan ujad hee gayee hain to kyaa
doosaraa tum jahaan kyoo basaate nahee
dil naa chaahe bhee to saath sansaar ke
chalanaa padataa hai, sab kee khushee ke liye
Kaha Chala Aye Mere Jogi
This iconic recording features legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar delivering a haunting rendition of the classic Hindi film song 'Kaha Chala Aye Mere Jogi.' Composed by Salil Chowdhury and written by Shailendra, the track is a quintessential example of the romantic and melancholic style that defined Bollywood music in the mid-20th century. Mangeshkar's voice, characterized by its ethereal quality and emotional depth, perfectly complements the poetic lyrics about a wandering ascetic. The song has transcended its cinematic origins to become a staple of Indian classical and semi-classical vocal traditions, often performed in concert settings and recorded on various albums throughout her illustrious career. It remains a testament to the enduring power of the film song format and Mangeshkar's mastery of the genre.
