Pyaar Bina

I was trying to find the song 'Yaar Bina' by 'Junoon' but ended up with another song 'Pyaar Bina'. Sheer magic. I typically like the tabla-guitar fusion which 'Junoon' and 'India Ocean' use a lot.

Pyaar bina hum juda tum juda
Pyaar bina pyar bina
Pyaar bina kya bashar kya khuda
Pyaar bina pyar bina

Dil say dil koi nazdeek aata rahay
Aur roohon ka roohon say nata rahay

Zindagi kuch nahin
Bandagi kuch nahin
Pyaar bina pyar bina

Pyaar to hai lagan pyaar to hai junoon
Sirf milnay say milta nahin hai sakoon

Rooh pyaasi rahay
Ik udasi rahay
Pyaar bina pyar bina

Translation:

Without love, I’m alone, you’re alone
Without love, what is man, what is God?
Without love, with out love

Let one heart come near another
One soul connect to another.
Life is nothing, humanity is nothing
Without love, with out love.

Love is the connection, love is madness
Just getting together brings no peace
The spirit thirsts on
Lonely and sorrowful
Without love, with out love

Without love, I’m alone, you’re alone
Without love, what is man, what is God?
Without love, with out love

Via [junoon]

Jaana Suno Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain

It's been quite a while (10 days to be precise) since I last fell in love with a song. And I am glad that somehow I remebered this beautiful song from 'Khamoshi' to fall again in love with. Brilliant composition, why did you split Jatin Lalit ?

Jaana suno hum tum pe marte hain
Tumse mohabbat karte hain
Chaahat mere haseen koi gunaah nahin
Yeh jo mohabbat hai, yahi to ibaadat hai
To phir aao, pyaar mein jalaaye dil
Jalke bujh na paaye dil
Hai apni manzil yahin pe aa ab kahin na jaa
Tum kahin bhi jaao yahin pe hai aana
Ke dil ka dil hai thikaana
Jaana suno hum tum pe marte hain
Tumse mohabbat karte hain

Aao kuch aise mile hum tumse
Ke aaj khuda bhi hans pade hum pe
Mile hum tumse ke khuda bhi hans de
To phir aao, pyaar mein jalaaye dil
Jalke bujh na paaye dil
Hai apni manzil yahin pe aa ab kahin na jaa
Tum kahin bhi jaao yahin pe hai aana
Ke dil ka dil hai thikaana

Jaana suno hum tum pe marte hain
Tumse mohabbat karte hain
Ek duje mein hum yun kho jaaye
Main hoon ke tum khud dhoond na paaye
Do badan yun mile ke pata na chale
To phir aao, pyaar mein jalaaye dil
Jalke bujh na paaye dil
Pyaar mein jalaaye dil, jalke bujh na paaye dil
Pyaar mein jalaaye dil
Jaana suno hum tum pe marte hain
Tumse mohabbat karte hain

Sketch

Yaad hai ek din...
Mere mej pe baithe baithe,
Cigarette ki dibiya par tumne,
Chhote se ek poudhe ka,
Ek sketch banaya tha...
Aakar dekho,
Us poudhe par phool aya hai.

Google to Googe to Poem

Just came across this 'Google Valentine Day's Logo' of 2007 and it is interesting how much news is generated by anything related to google. So many articles, analysis, posts dissecting whether it was a genuine miss and if google is covering up by this official statement.

When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that “Googe” has a better ring to it. None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you’re feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry.

So if you find the letter 'l' in the stem of strawberry then you are a google certified romantic. This led to me to a 16th century poet Barnabe Googe , most famous for the following line.

"I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die."

What a line..I could not resist but doing a 'Googe' , oops 'Google' for the line and found this old song.

There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.

Her gesture, motion and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguiles;
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.

Had I her fast betwixt mine arms,
Judge you that think such sports were harms,
Were't any harm? No, no, fie, fie!
For I will love her till I die.

Should I remain confinèd there
So long as Phoebus in his sphere,
I to request, she to deny,
Yet would I love her till I die.

Her free behavior, winning looks,
Will make a lawyer burn his books.
I touched her not alas not I,
And yet I'll love her till I die.

Cupid is winged and doth range
Her country so my love doth change;
But change she earth or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.

Way Back Into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night

I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll Be There For You

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now i'm praying to god
You'll give me one more chance girl
I'll be there for you
These five words i swear to you
When you breathe i want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and i'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But i can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But i wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
When you get drunk i'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words i swear to you
When you breathe i want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and i'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
And i wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish i'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words i swear to you
When you breathe i want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and i'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for
I'll be there for you
These five words i swear to you
When you breathe i want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and i'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

Yengeyo Partha

They say music has no language and I quite agree with it. I don't understand a single word of this Tamil song, yet I fell in love the moment I heard it. Awesome song!!

Baadalon Se Kaat Kaat Ke

Words fail me to describe the genius of Gulzar. Such imaginative yet beautiful thoughts, song after song, is amazing. Vishal Bharadwaj and A R Rehman are two contemporary composers who do justice to the poetry of the master. Great song.

Baadalon se kaat kaat ke
Kaagazon pe naam jodna
Yeh mujhe kya ho gaya?

Doriyon se baandh baandh ke
Raat bhar chaand todna
Yeh mujhe kya ho gaya?

Ek baar tumko jab
Baraste paaniyon ke paar dekha tha
Yun laga tha jaise
Gungunaata ek absaar dekha tha
Tabse meri neend mein barasti rehti ho
Bolti bahut ho aur hasti rehti ho
Jo tujhe jaanta na ho us-se tera naam poochna
Yeh mujhe kya ho gaya?

Dekho yun khule badan tum
Gulaabi saahilon pe aaya naa karo tum
Namak bhare samundaron mein yun
Is tarah nahaya na karo
Sara din chandni si chhaayi rehti hai
Aur gulabi dhoop baukhlai Rehti Hai
Jaamno ki naram daal pe
Naakhoon se naam khodna
Yeh mujhe kya ho gaya?

Don't Write Me Off Just Yet

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet

Nain Tere Jhuke Jhuke


I tried googling for the lyrics of this song and really surprised not to find any link. I used to think that it's a popular number. Never mind. Here is the lyrics of this beautiful song.

Nain tere jhuke jhuke
Hoth tere ruke ruke
Dil mein pehli baar jaga kiska pyar
Kuch to baata hum se
Haan!! Dil mein pehli baar jaga kiska pyar
Kuch to baata hum se

Nain mere jhuke jhuke
Hoth mere ruke ruke
Rakh de dil pe hath
Sunle meri baat
Dhadkan ki sargam se
Haan !! Rakh de dil pe hath
Sunle meri baat
Dhadkan ki sargam se

Tu itni hai chanchal kiske liye
Are!! tu itni hai chanchal kiske liye
Tere dil mein hulchul kiske liye

Koi sapno mein samaya hai
Kabhi apna kabhi paraya hai

Kaun hai woh raaz dil ka
Hum se ab chhupao na

Poochhona poochhona poochhona

Nain tere jhuke jhuke
Hoth tere ruke ruke
Dil mein pehli baar jaga kiska pyar
Kuch to baata hum se

Haan!! Rakh de dil pe hath
Sunle meri baar
Dhadkan ki sargam se

Tune kiske khwabon ko rangeen kiya
Are!! tune kiske khwabon ko rangeen kiya
Tune kiske dil ka chain chhin liya

Abhi nahin phir kabhi bataungi
Abhi to main usko aazmaungi

Dekho tum bhi tadpogi
Usko itna tadpaona

Jaonaa jaonaa jaonaa

Nain tere..

Nain mere jhuke jhuke
Hoth mere ruke ruke
Rakhde dil pe hath
Sunle meri baat
Dhadkan ki sargam se

Dil mein pehli baar jaga kiska pyar
Kuch to baata hum se

Tum Ho To

Beauty lies in simplicity. No heavy and complex words used but yet so meaningful lyrics. A soft, soothing romantic number from the movie 'Rock On'.

Tum ho to gaata hai dil
Tum nahin to geet kahan
Tum ho to hai sab haasil
Tum nahin to kya hai yahan
Tum ho to hai sapno ke jaisa haseen ek sama
Jo tum ho to yeh lagta hai ke mil gayi har khushi
Jo tum na ho yeh lagta hai ke har khushi mein hai kami
Tumko hai maangti yeh zindagi…..

Hoo ho hoo ho hooo…..
Hoo ho hoo ho hooo…..
Hoo ho hoo ho hooo…..

Tum ho to raahein bhi hain
Tum nahin to raste kahaan
Tum ho to yahaan sabhi hain
Tum nahin to kaun yahaan
Tum ho to hai har ek pal meharbaan ye jahaan…..

Jo tum ho hawaa mein bhi mohabbaton ka rang hai
Jo tum na ho to phir koi na josh na umang hai
Tum mile to mili yeh zindagi…..

Hoo ho hoo ho hooo…..
Hoo ho hoo ho hooo…..

Abhi Woh Dard Baqi Hai

Abhi woh dard baqi hai
Agarchay waqt marham hai
Magar kuch waqt lagta hai
Kisi ko bhool janay mein
Dobara dil basaanay mein
Abhi kuch waqt lagna hai
Abhi woh dard baqi hai

Main kaisay nayee ulfat mein
Apni zaat ko gum kar doon
Kay meray jism-o-wajdaan mein
Abhi woh fard baqi hai
Abhi us shakhs ki mujh per
Nigah-e-Sard baqi hai
Abhi to Ishq kay raston ki
Mujh per gard baqi hai...

Abhi Woh Dard Baqi Hai

Yaadein Yaad Aati Hain

"Baatein bhool jaati hain, yaadein yaad aati hain". It's so justified that I have some nice memory attached to this song.

The stage was set; First ever interview in life, HR round and the usual question about interests. And the usual answer that I like listening to music. The next question came; so what's the last album you have listened to? I promptly replied 'Yaadein'. And the next logical question was; What's your favorite number in that album? When I replied 'Nagme hain shikwe hain', I sensed a node of approval from him as if he also liked the track.

The song became immortal for me at that moment only irrespective of whatever the result would have been. Thankfully, that is still my only interview till date and I am not jobless.


Nagme hain, shikwe hain
Kisse hain, baatein hain
Baatein bhool jaati hain
Yaadein yaad aati hain
Yeh yaadein kisi dil-o-jaanam ke
Chale jaane ke baad aati hain

Yaadein, yaadein, yaadein

Yeh jeevan dil jaani, dariya ka hai paani
Paani to beh jaaye, baaqi kya reh jaaye
Yaadein, yaadein, yaadein
Nagme hain, shikwe hain
Kisse hain, baatein hain
Baatein bhool jaati hain
Yaadein yaad aati hain
Yeh yaadein kisi dil-o-jaanam ke
Chael jaane ke baad aati hain

Yaadein, yaadein, yaadein

Duniya mein hum saare
Yaadon ke hai maare
Kuch kushiyaan, thode gham
Yeh humse, inse hum
Yaadein, o meethi meethi yaadein
Khatti meethi yaadein
Nagme hain, shikwe hain
Kisse hain, baatein hain
Baatein bhool jaati hain
Yaadein yaad aati hain
Yeh yaadein kisi dil-o-jaanam ke
Chael jaane ke baad aati hain

Yaadein, yaadein, yaadein

Zindagi

Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu mere sath khel rahi hai saanp-siddhi
Aaj daao teri hai
Main kuch fisla jaroor hun
Hara nahin
Kal baaji meri hogi
Main tujhe hathon se fisalne nahin dunga


Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu ruthi hui hai jhoot moot ki
Main jo waqt nahin bitaye tumpe
Sajane sawarne mein
Woh sab lautaunga suud ke sath
Ab muskura bhi do
Main tujhe aur kabhi ruthne nahin dunga


Aye zindagi
Main tujh se haar nahin maanunga
Mujhe pata hai
Tu thodi si bechain hai
Tere mathe pe yeh shikan
Mere ghamon ki wajah se hai
Ab to yeh faisla hai
Aaj raat ek nayee subah hogi
Chand ki leyp se main teri thakaan mitaunga
Main tujhe haar ne nahin dunga..

Lut Jaaoon Lut Jaaoon

I either like things at first look or never like them. This song instantly had an impact when I first heard it on tv. Though I would have preferred the beats to be mellowed down a bit. The most admirable thing is Harshadeep Kaur's soulful voice. Himesh has used her similar to song Dil Ne Ye Na Jaana from Red. The song does sound like typical Karunesh's number. Nevertheless, it's a nice listen.


Tumse mohabbat karlu jee bhar ke
Puri hasrat karlu jee bhar ke

Nazron mein teri kashish ka aalam
Dil mein hai armanon ki sargam
Jo bhi dia mere jia ko Jaane jaan tere ishq ne
Kiya muje tere noor ne ghayal
Jazbo mein machi dard ki hulchul
Jo bhi dia mere jia ko jaane jaan tere ishq ne

Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon main
Lut jaaoon uss karz pe

Jo tune diya ishq mein
Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon main
Lut jaaoon uss karz pe

Dekhke tumko tamanna machal jaati hai
Har ek fariyad dil se nikal jaati hai

Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon

Lamhon mein ehsas ka manzar
Saanson mein betaab samundar
Jo bhi dia mere jia ko jaane jaan tere ishq ne
Bhini bhini tere jism ki khusboo
Haye tere andaaz ka jaadoo
Jo bhi dia mere jia ko Jaane jaan tere ishq ne

Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon main
Lut jaaon uss karz pe

Jo tune diya ishq mein
Jo tune diya ishq mein
Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon main
Lut jaaoon uss karz pe
Lut jaaoon lut jaaoon lut jaaoon main
Lut jaaoon uss karz pe
