Kahaan jaa raha hai tu ae jaane waale
Posted on: October 1, 2008
When one talks of tragic actors, what are the names that come to mind ? Guru Dutt and Meena Kumari ? It may be news for people, but in the first decade of their career viz 1950s, they were both known for playing positive, energetic ,bubbly characters oozing with zest for life.
The crown for being the first major tragedy queen of that era should rightfully belong to Nutan. She played quite a few memorable tragic roles in movies. She in fact played a tragic role as early as in 1955 in a movie called “Seema”.
As befits a tragic movie, Nutan decides to leave her home without telling anybody. Readers of this blog may recall that Nutan did likewise in another movie called Bandini in 1963, accompanied by a memorable song- “O jaane waale ho sake to laut ke aana”. Here also, a similar situation presents itself, and is dealt likewise. Here too, Nutan leaves, and a great memorable song ensues- “Kahan jaa raha hai tu ae jaanewaale”
One can clearly draw parallels with the “Bandini” song. But one has to keep it in mind that this song from “Seema” was composed nearly one decade earlier. Rafi was excellence personified, and he excells himself in this song, if such a thing is possible.
Shailendra’s lyrics are top notch, and Shankar Jaikishan’s music adds to the mood of the song.

Song- Kahan jaa raha hai tu ae jaanewaale (Seema) (1955) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Shailendra, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
andheraa hai man kaa diyaa to jalaa le
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
ye jeevan safar ek andhaa safar hai
ye jeevan safar ek andhaa safar hai
bahaknaa hai mumkin bhatakne kaa dar hai
bahaknaa hai mumkin bhatakne kaa dar hai
sambhaltaa nahin dil kisi ke sambhaale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
jo thokar na khaaye nahin jeet uski
jo thokar na khaaye nahin jeet uski
jo gir ke sambhal jaaye hai jeet uski
jo gir ke sambhal jaaye hai jeet uski
nishaan manzilon ke ye pairon ke chhaale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
Aaaa
kabhi ye bhi sochaa ke manzil kahaan hai
kabhi ye bhi sochaa ke manzil kahaan hai
bade se jahaan mein
teraa ghar kahaan hai
teraa ghar kahaan hai
teraa ghar kahaan hai
jo baandhe the bandhan wo kyun tod daale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai tu ai jaane waale
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
kahaan jaa rahaa hai
