Indian Ocean Performed Live At Mountain Heights

2011-12-03T20:29:00.000-08:00

Times of India Hyderabad is gracious enough to allow common people to attend their annual festival in which they organize live music concerts and plays .

Last time the most I enjoyed was Hans Raj Hans's performance. And this time it was Indian Ocean which is hardly any surprise:)

This was the third gig of Indian Ocean that I attended in Hyderabad and they seem to keep growing on me day by day. I have been listening to them for more than a decade now and it's like I have imprinted to their music in Twilight's terminology. It's very hard to explain this insane liking but it's like a drug to me which takes to a high where you forget everything else. Those two hours can't be counted as humanly hours of my life.

Pure magic.

Tum

tumhara jana yeh kaisa jana hua?

Maaya by Indian Ocean & Mohit Chauhan

2011-10-31T09:18:00.000-07:00

OK, I must admit I am running out of adjectives in praise of Indian Ocean. As if they were not enough on their own, they collaborated with Mohit Chauhan to create this magic called "Maaya". Either they are here to make sound which haunts me or I am here just to worship their music. Either way their music is one of "high" in my very normal life.

What makes Euphoria special is their not so complex but meanigful lyrics. This one is another gem from them.

pehli saans…mere din ki pehli dhoop
chaand ki pehli kiran
pehla geet… baarish ki pehli boond
tum sheet ki pehli kampan

usne bheja tumhe mere liye
soone dil ki tum dhadkan
saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum

raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum
pehli saans
phoolon ki tum khushboo
pehli jeet tum pehli haar

pehla geet
poonam ki pehli raat
tum hi ho mera pehla pyaar

usne bheja tumhe mere liye
mere dil ki tum dulhan

saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum
raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum
woh ho tum

saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum
raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum

saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum
raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum

saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum
raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum

saanson mein jo mere khwaabon mein jo
woh ho tum
raaton mein jo meri baaton mein jo
woh ho tum

Tu Jo Nahin Hai

2011-08-20T20:50:00.000-07:00

Tu jo nahin hai toh kuch bhi nahin hai
yeh mana ki mehfil jawaan hai haseen hai

Mujhe phir tabah kar mujhe phir rulaja
shitam karne wale kahin se to aaja

Aankhon mein teri hi surat basi hai
teri hi tarah tera gham bhi haseen hai

jidhar bhi yeh dekhen jahaan bhi yeh jaayen
tujhe dhundati hai yeh paagal nigaahen

main zinda hoon lekin kahaan zindagi hain
meri zindagi toh kahaan kho gayi hain

Tere Siva

2011-07-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

It's been quite a while since updating this space. But, there could not have been any better reason than this song from Delhi Belly to make a come back.

I watched the movie yesterday and it was perfect. I would not change a single scene, situation or expression. It has to be the most bizarre and crazy movie Bollywood has ever made. But, it's hilarious and lovable. This was my instant reaction to movie yesterday.

"I just watched the perfect movie. If I had the power, I would not let Abhinay Deo direct any other movie in his life. He can only fall from here."

Music and Background score play an important part in any movie. Hats off to Ram Sampath for doing a brilliant job. The moment I heard the background score of "Tere Siva" being played during scenes between Taashi and Maneka, I was floored. Tunes and songs just strike me instantly. Either I like them at first instance or I don't like them ever. Beautiful lyrics and composition. It's gonna be few days before I kill this song. Enjoy!!

Yeh hai dua, ya hai sazaa
Kuch na dikhe, tere siva
Tere siva
Duniya mein kuch bhi na dikhta hai, tere siva
Tera nasha
Chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, tera nasha

Yeh nasha, badh jaaye na, kahin ragon mein chadh jaaye na
Tere bin kuch na rahoon, pyaar be-bas kar jaaye na

Iss tarah khona kisi mein, theek bhi hai ya nahin
Pyaar ke iss sagar mein main, doob na jaaun kahin

Yeh hai dua, ya hai sazaa
Kuch na dikhe, tere siva
Tere siva
Duniya mein kuch bhi na dikhta hai, tere siva
Tera nasha
Chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, tera nasha

Iss tarah chhoota hai tu, gir hassi khulti hoon main
Kitne din ehsaas yeh, sang le chalti hoon main

Din-ba-din chahat teri, ho rahi aadat meri
Aisa hai tera nasha, gum sa hai khud ka pataa

Ye hai dua, ya hai sazaa
Kuch na dikhe, tere siva
Tere siva
Duniya mein kuch bhi na dikhta hai, tere siva
Tera nasha
Chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, chhaaya hai, tera nasha

Sachin Tendulkar

2011-01-26T07:11:00.000-08:00

"Khelo dil se."

As a country we love to love Sachin. No other person in the history of India can boast of such unconditional adulation coming from kids to grown ups to everyone. He has been entertaining us for last two decades and has been a perfect role model.

Although we have been saying that he is in last leg of his career for last few years now, World Cup 2011 is most likely to be his last World Cup. This one victory is missing from his crown and nobody wants it more badly than him. He almost single handedly won it in 2003, but it was not meant to be and final was a disaster. Cricket is a team sports and no one player can win the tournament for you which some critics don't seem to understand. Regardless of the result of 2011 world cup, Sachin will remain the greatest entertainer who has given us reasons to celebrate and elevate from our boring, monotonous lives many a times.

This recent tv commercial showing kids preparing Sachin's kit and getting him ready for the match is so beautiful and cute. The expression of love and awe in the face of kids is also the feeling of every Indian for Sachin.

Thank you Sachin.

Mera Kuch Samaan

2011-01-12T08:11:00.000-08:00

I have always loved this song. But, I didn't know the context earlier. And now that I watched the movie yesterday (yeah, somehow missed this brilliant movie till now), I love it more. Everything will be less and nothing will be much in praise of Gulzar saab. So, I rest by saying this movie was so ahead of it's time.

The poetry is awesome and I specially like the portion before the song starts.

ek dafa woh yaad hai tumko
bin batti jab cycle ka chalan hua tha
humne kaise bhuke pyase becharon si acting ki thi
hawaldar ne ulta ek atthani deke wapas bhej diya tha
ek chamanni meri thi woh bhijwado

sawan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhe hain
aur mere ek khat mein lipti kuch raat padi hai
woh raat bhijwado
aur bhi kuch samaan tumhare paas pada hai
woh bhijwado

patjhad hai..
patjhad main kuch patton ke girne ki aahat
kaanon main ek baar pahan ke laut aai thee
patajhad ki vo saakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
woh bhijwado

ek sau sola chand ki raatein
ek tumhare kaandhe ka teel
geeli mehendi ki khusboo
jhoot moot ke waadein

Sone Ki Nagri by Indian Ocean

2010-12-29T09:19:00.000-08:00

Those who know me personally or through my blog are probably aware how crazy I am about music of Indian Ocean. Given that it's more than two months since my last post, it seems nothing else apart from awesome ocean can motivate me to write a post these days.

I have been on high since last few days on their latest song Sone Ki Nagri and kept on talking about it with friends who are not even too much inclinded to music. But, what can I do? This is such an amazing composition that my OCD for music has revived. Already listened to this number for god knows how many times and probably will go on for next few days.

Sone ki Nagri arose out of a collaboration Indian Ocean did with three Rajasthani folk musicians one summer. The guitar play by Susmit is simply mesmerising. Long live the band and let their music keep flowing.

Sone ki nagri ke sau sau hai raja
Andhe rajaaon mein kana maharaja

Daku ki rakshaa daroga karey merey bhai
Aur gundey malang hain minister ke ghar jamaai
Sone ki nagri ke sau sau hai raja

Andhe rajaaon mein kana maharaja
Bey sir pair ka tantar hai mere bhai
Aur Bandar madari ke asar hain mer bhai

Bhhrashtan ke hum hain aur
Bhhrassht hamaare
Ek hi thaali ke chatte batte sare
Jungal mein mangal ki reet hai mere bhai
Aur Kalyug mein kalki sambhalenge naiya hamari.

Note: The band is kind enough to release one song from album Aye Khajoor free every month. It can be downloaded at http://www.indianoceanmusic.com/download-song.php

Rakht Ka Hai

2010-10-25T10:54:00.000-07:00

Most people love to hate Ram Gopal Varma, may be rightly so. He successfully portrays himself as an arrogant and heartless person. But, somehow I can't dislike him. He might make crap movies these days but he has given few great movies in past. And probably his greatest contribution to so many dreamers from small places is the "hope" that they can also make it big without having a god father.

I haven't come across a single person who liked the movie "Naach". I saw this movie few years back on television and apart from weird costumes and dance steps, I found it okie. I specially liked the song "Rakht Ka Hai" performed by Markand Deshpande. Unfortunately no trace of this song in youtube which is expected as I doubt if anyone else apart from Markand and me like it:)

Zindagi Se Darte Ho

2010-09-10T00:19:00.000-07:00

I am amazed to see how this hard hitting piece of poetry by Noon Meem Rashid can at all be composed and that too in such a energetic way. But, that's Indian Ocean for you. Free flowing, rustic and unadulterated music.

Zindagi se darte ho
Zindagi to tum bhi ho
Zindagi to hum bhi hain
Aadmi se darte ho
Aadmi to tum bhi ho
Aadmi to hum bhi hain
Tum abhi se darte ho

Aadmi zabaan bhi hai
Aadmi bayaan bhi hai

Harf aur maani ke rishta haaye aahan se
Aadmi hai waabasta
Aadmi ke daaman se zindagi hai waabasta
Us se tum nahin darte ho

Ankahi se darte ho
Jo abhi nahi aayi
Us gharri ki aamad ki
Aagahi se darte ho
Tum abhi se darte ho

Pehle bhi to guzre hain
Daur na rassai ke
Be-riya khudaai ke
Phir bhi yeh samajhte ho
Hech aarzumandi
Yeh shab e zubaan bandi
Hai rah e khudaawandi
Tum yehi samajhte ho

Tum mager yeh kya jaano
Lab agar nahi hilte
Haath jaag uthte hain
Haath bol uthte hain
Subh ki azaan ban kar

Roshni se darte ho
Roshni to tum bhi ho
Roshni to hum bhi hain
Tum abhi se darte ho

Raah- e- shauq mein jaise
rahru ka khoon lapke
Ek nayaa junoon lapke
Aadmi chhalak uthe
Aadmi hanse dekho
shaher phir base dekho
Tum abhi se darte ho

Translation:

Afraid of Life, are you
You too are life
We too are life
Afraid of Man, are you
You too are human
We too are human
Afraid already are you

Man is speech
Man is expression too

To the iron bond
Uniting utterance and meaning
Man is joined
Tied to his sleeves is Life
Not afraid of that

Afraid of the unsaid
Afraid of the moment
That has not yet arrived
Afraid of the awareness
Of the coming of that moment
Afraid already

We have seen the times
Before
Of inaccessibility
Of guileless divinity
And yet you believe
To desire is worthless
This night of silenced tongues
Is the path
To divinity

How will you know though
That if lips don’t move
Hands begin to stir
Hands begin to call
Like the Azan at dawn

Afraid of Light
You too are light
We too are light
Afraid of light

As in the journey of love
The traveler’s blood soars
A new passion leaps
Man boils over
Man laughs, look
The city is reborn
Afraid already

Bula Raha Hai by Indian Ocean

2010-08-17T07:54:00.000-07:00

I have always been in awe of Indian Ocean since I heard them a decade ago. But, two back to back posts about them is very unlike of even me. May be it's the after effect of the live show.

It's very difficult to explain if someone asks me why I like their music so much. Because I don't know. It's like some kind of charm which just possesses me.

They played an yet to be released track "Bula Raha Hai" in the show and it's sheer magic. This is a redording from last year concert when Asheem was there.

Indian Ocean Performed Live At Hard Rock Cafe Hyderabad

2010-08-13T01:00:00.000-07:00

I wonder how music, art or sports can elevate normal people in flesh and bones to appear as godly. As if they have been handpicked by god and gifted the talent to come down to this earth, perform and make people's life a little exciting.

Indian Ocean performed live at Hard Rock Cafe Hyderabad yesterday. Despite HRC's sincere effort to pack every inch of space and suffocate people to death, it was awesome experience to witness them playing live. Every single drop of sweat was worth it. Their unique sound, intensity, stage presence and the little jugalbandi within the song make the live performance mesmerising.

They started with "Bandeh" and ended with "Kandisha". I don't understand why people just keep on asking to play Kandisha. Agreed that it's one of their best but I think it's disrespectful to them to ask always about one song as if they haven't done anything better. I personally rate "Khajuraho", "Bhor" and "Nam Myo Ho" much higher and to my disappointment they didn't play any of them. Anyway Khajuraho will remain soulless and incomplete if played without Asheem's rendition of sloka with his heavy voice. Those who have witnessed Asheem playing tabla and singing simultaneously will always sense a void.

Given that I haven't not liked a single of their song till date, it's hard to pick few numbers during the show. Still, I will go with Boll Weevil, Ma Rewa, Leaving Home, Bula Raha Hai (yet to be released) and Jhini.

It feels sad to come down to reality from the alien euphoric world they take you to. But, there will be always next time and I wish it won't be too long.

Hai ikhtiyar mein tere tu maujza kar de,
Woh shaks mera nahin hai use mera kar de.

Yeh rah guzar kahin khatam hi nahi hoti,
Zara si door to rasta hara bhara kar de.

Mai uss ke shor ko dekhu woh mera sabr-e-sukoon
Mujhe chiraagh bana de usse hawa kar de.

Akeli shaam bahut hi udaas karti hai,
Kisi ko bejh koi mera hum-nawa kar de.

Yaad Hai Tumhe ?

2010-06-20T03:08:00.000-07:00

It's been ages since I have written anything. I am glad I came out with at least something even if it doesn't satisfy me completely.

yaad hai tumhe
woh jheel ke kinare
ghanto beetana

kabhi baaton mein
kabhi yun hi khamoshi mein
dhalte shaam ko dekhte huye

yaad hai tumhe
woh pani ki ladhai
aur duur pathhar phekne mein
tumhara hamesha jeetna

labon se chhalakati hansi
aankhon se beh jaya karti thi
us manzar ke liye manjoor tha
tumse har baar haar jana

yaad hai tumhe
woh aade teerche chehron ki
pani mein parchhayee banana

kabhi aake dekho
ab bhi tasveerein humari
wohin jami huyi hain..

Ya Dil Ki Suno Duniya Waalon

2010-06-06T00:52:00.000-07:00

ya dil ki suno duniya waalon
yaa mujh ko abhi chup rehne do
main gham ko khushi kaise keh dun
jo kahte hain unko kahne do

yeh phool chaman mein kaisa khila
maali ki nazar mein pyaar nahin
haste huye kya kya dekh liya
ab behte hain aansoo behne do

ek khwaab khushi ka dekha nahin
dekha jo kabhi to bhool gaye
manga hua tum kuch de na sake
jo tum ne diya woh sahne do

kya dard kisika lega koi
itana to kisi mein dard nahin
bahate huye aansoo aaur bahe
ab aisi tasalli rehne do

ya dil ki suno duniya waalon
yaa mujh ko abhi chup rehne do
main gham ko khushi kaise keh dun
jo kahte hain unko kahne do

Going Nowhere

2010-05-17T11:19:00.000-07:00

Hate the way that you've taken back
Eveything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say
'It's nothing to do with me'
Different versions of many men
Come before you came
All their questions were similar
The answers just the same

I'm gonna get me a motor car
Maybe a Jaguar
Maybe a plane or day of fame
I'm gonna be a millionaire
So can you take me there?
Wanna be wilde 'cos my life's so tame

Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, growing older in the rain
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey

Hate the way that you've taken back
Eveything you've given to me
And the way that you always say

I'm gonna get me a motor car
Maybe a Jaguar
Maybe a plane or a day of fame
I'm gonna be a millionaire
So can you take me there
Wanna be wilde 'cos my life's so tame

Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, growing older in the rain
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, getting lost and lonely
Sad and lonly, why sometimes does my life feel so tame?
Hey 'ey

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota

2010-05-12T23:57:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last post. Life keeps you busy in one thing or the other, doesn't it? And even if you are not busy it's the state of mind which dictates the terms. Human is a complex system, God could have done with a simpler one. I think that's enough of my lecture and you are probably better off listening to this beautiful Ghazal by Hariharan.

kaash aisa koi manzar hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota

jama kerta jo main aye huye sang
sar chupane ke liye ghar hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota

is bulandi pe bahut tanha hun
tanha....hun
bahut tanha...tanha tanha tanha hun
is bulandi pe bahut tanha hun
kaash main sab ke barabar hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota

usne uljha diya duniya mein mujhe
warna ek aur kalander hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota
mere kandhe pe tera sar hota
kaash aisa koi manzar hota
kaash

Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chalaa Gayaa

2010-04-24T02:22:00.000-07:00

main zindagi ka saath nibhata chalaa gayaa...
har fikr ko dhue mein udataa chalaa gaya..

barbadiyon ka sor manana fuzool tha..
barbadiyon ka jashn manata chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udataa chalaa gayaa..

jo mil gaya usiko muqaddar samajh liya..
jo kho gaya main usko bhulataa chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udataa chalaa gaya..

gham aur khushi mein pharaq na mehsoos ho jahaan..
main dil ko us maqaam pe lataa chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udataa chalaa gaya..
main zindagi ka saath nibhata chalaa gayaa...

Tere Jaane Se Kuch To Badla Nahin

2010-03-14T01:11:00.000-08:00

Sunset Point is a master piece by Gulzar and Vishal. A love story is so beautifully narrated by Gulzar saab himself and the songs are created to fit into the situations seamlessly. Nobody can play with words like Gulzar saab. His greatness is to express the complex feeling subtly in simple words. One of my favorite line is "woh der se pahuncha tha lekin waqt par pahuncha" which in itself tells a whole story.

Woh phir pul ke usi kinare aake khadi ho gayi
zindagi ka aakhri kadam uthane ke liye
kohre se chhan ke aati huti aawaz ne use rok diya
yeh to usi ki aawaz thi
woh der se pahuncha tha lekin waqt par pahuncha

I like the whole album but this song of separation is different. The first portion below is the narration by Gulzar saab before the song "tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin".

dholak ki thap dur daraj ke mohallon tak sunai di
jab use khabar mili to woh bhi pahuncha
khidkiyon darwazon se jhank jhank kar uski nazar pakadne ki koshish karta raha
mehandi se sazi tak dulahan tak pahuchna mushkil tha
ek saheli dulhan ke liye chai ki pyali lekar aayi
usne to maangi nahi thi
saheli ne aankh jhapak kar kaha,
pilo cup mein paigaam bhi hai
cup ki tah mein usne angoothi rakh kar bheji thi
usne angoothi hothon se pili aur ungali mein pahan li
saheli ke mehandi lagi hatheli par likh ke bhej diya
usi sunset par milna jo pool par mila tha
lekin sandesa pahucha nahin
woh ja chuka tha
pal bhar mein sab badal gaya
aur kuch bhi nahi badla
jo badla tha woh to guzar gaya......

tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin
raat bhi aayi thi aur chand bhi tha
raat bhi aayi thi aur chand bhi tha
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin

saans bhi waise hi chalti hai hamesha ki tarah
aankh waise hi jhapakti hai hamesh ki tarah
thodi si bheegi huyi rehti hai aur kuch bhi nahin
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin

hoth khusk hoti hain aur pyaas bhi lagti hai
aaj kal shaam shard hawa chalti hai
khak karne se dhuan uthata hai jo dil ka nahin
tere jaane se kuch to badla nahin
raat bhi aayi thi aur chand bhi tha
raat bhi aayi thi aur chand bhi tha
tha magar neend nahin neend nahin

saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai

mast phoolon ke dil bhi dhadakne lage hain
yeh baharon kaa dilakash samaa gaa raha hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai
yeh zameen gaa rahi hai aasamaan gaa rahaa hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai

zhoom kar parabaton pe ghataa chhaa rahi hai
pyaar ki umr shayad kareeb aa rahi hai
meraa dil pyaar ki yeh daastaan gaa rahaa hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai
yeh zameen gaa rahi hai aasamaan gaa rahaa hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai

bhool kar raah koi haseen aa naa jaaye
is jagah koi paradanasheen aa naa jaaye
is jagah aaj ek naujawaan gaa rahaa hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai
yeh zameen gaa rahi hai aasamaan gaa rahaa hai

Sachin Tendulkar : God of Cricket

2010-02-24T21:44:00.000-08:00

No. He is not human. He just looks and behaves as a normal human being. But he can’t be human. He has been sent to this planet by someone up there to play cricket and spread joy among billions of Cricket fans. It’s so just that he is the first one to reach the summit of double hundred in One Day Cricket.

Just few days back, I was having a discussion with some friends about money and what it can buy and what it can’t. No amount of money can buy the euphoric moments Sachin has provided us in last two decades. Such great fame,money and still he carries himself with grace, dignity and humility. In these times of Tiger Woods and John Terry, we still have someone in Sachin Tendulkar as ideal role model for everyone.

Thank you Sachin for everything and we hope you go on for ever!!

You'are The One

2010-02-14T06:13:00.000-08:00

I typically don't like songs which mix english with hindi. And this poor word 'baby' is severely abused. Babies around the world must unite together and protest against this copyright violation:) Anyway, there are few exceptions like O Re Chhori from Lagaan and this one from Aladin are beautifully done.

you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one
you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one

you may be
just a lil bit deewani
thodi thodi si crazy
but baby you’re the one

tum jaisi
hai na koi yun deewani
thodi thodi si crazy
but baby you’re the one
you’re the one

ab aur kise na chahata hun
aur kise na chahunga
tu jo taare mangle
to woh bhi tod launga
kehke toh dekho na
karta rahunga main pyaar
ohh..

you may be
just a lil bit deewani
thodi thodi si crazy
but baby you’re the one

you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one
you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one

khule khule teri aankhon mein hai mere armaan saare
khile khile aise hai ke pheeke pheeke hai sab nazare
hai naya yeh jahan, yeh hua na yahan
itna kabhi bhi kisiko kisise hai pyaar

you may be
just a lil bit
just a lil bit deewani
thodi thodi si crazy
but baby
but baby you’re the one
you’re the one

ab aur kise na chahata hun
ab aur kise na chahata hun
aur kise na chahunga
tu jo taare mangle
to woh bhi tod launga
tod launga
kehke to dekho na
karta rahunga main pyaar
ohh..

tum jaisi
hai na koi yun deewani
hai na koi yun deewani
thodi thodi si crazy
but baby you’re the one
you’re the one

you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one
you’re the one, you’re the one
baby you’re the one

phir nahin so sake..
ek sadi ke liye...hum diljale..

Cham Cham Jani Raatein

2010-02-04T06:36:00.000-08:00

It was just today morning I was thinking that my reservoir of songs are running out. And here I came across one which is of infinite loop class. I typically know what I would like in the very first few moments of my encounter and probably this one took even less. A beautiful sufi number by Sonu Nigam which will haunt you for long.

Hoo......
Jannato ke dar khule
Kuch baashinde the chale
Le aaye woh nanhi jaan
Uss khuda ka ik payaam
Tab se tu hai jahan mein ban ke raunak yahan ki meri jaan
Khwaishon se bhi aagey jo khushi ka mile woh armaan
Ra ra raaaaa ri ri raaaaa ri ri raaaaa rapta ta ra ra rapta ta ra ra......

Cham cham jani raatein ye sitaron wale haath
Bheeni bheeni khushboo jaise teri meethi baat
Ujla ujla sa ye tan, jaise mehka ho chandan
Baahon mein teri guzrein, mera ye saara jeevan
Teri adaa mein, maasumiat hai
Phir bhi hai shokhi, rangniyat hai
Taaron se bhar doon aanchal tera
Rab se bhi pyaara hai chehra tera, chehra tera, chehra tera
Ra ra ra ri ri ra ri ri ra rapta ta ra ra rapta ta ra ra......

Phool honthon pe khile, chaand aankhon mein mile
Phool honthon pe khile, chaand aankhon mein mile
Bikhre moti subah ke jaise kirne teri ye muskaan
Noor barse nazar se, noori tujh mein basi hai meri jaan
Noor barse nazar se, noori tujh mein basi hai meri jaan
Teri jhalak ki, pyaasi nazar hai
Deewangi ye, tera asar hai
Ruhaane rango ka ye aanchal tera
Sapno ki raaton ka ye badal mera, badal mera, badal mera
Ra ra raaaaa ri ri raaaaa ri ri raaaaa rapta ta ra ra rapta ta ra ra......

Dheere dheere sar chadha, tera jadoo aagey badha
Dheere dheere sar chadha, tera jadoo jadoo aagey badha
Hua khud se juda main phir bhi tujh pe fida, main meri jaan
Ishq le le tu le le le le le mere tu mera imtehaan
Ishq le le tu le le le le le mere tu mera imtehaan
Sune safar ki, tu sohagat hai
Bakshi khuda ne ye milkiyat hai
Aaja saza de bhoori aangan mera
Jaise sazaya tune lamha mera, lamha mera, lamha mera
Ra ra raaaaa ri ri raaaaa ri ri raaaaa rapta ta ra ra rapta ta ra ra......

Na Leke Jao

2010-01-31T09:30:00.000-08:00

Such an intense sad song from the movie Fiza. A poem by Nida Fazli and one by W. H. Auden come to my mind which can match the feeling expressed by this song.

na le ke jao mere dost ka janaaza hai
abhi to garm hai mitti jism taaza hai
abhi to garm hai mitti yeh jism taaza hai
na le ke jao mere dost ka janaaza hai

ulajh gayi hai kahin saans khol do is ki
labon pe aayi hai jo baat poori karne do
baat poori karne do
abhi ummeed bhi zinda hai gham bhi taaza hai
na le ke jao mere dost ka janaaza hai
abhi to garm hai mitti yeh jism taaza hai

jagaao is ko gale mil ke alvida to kahun
ye kaisi ruksati hai yeh kya saleeka hai
yeh kya saleeka hai
abhi to jeene ka har ek zakhm taaza hai
na le ke jao mere dost ka janaaza hai
abhi to garm hai mitti yeh jism taaza hai

Road To Chicago

2010-01-30T10:37:00.000-08:00

Road To Chicago is a sound track from the movie Road To Perdition. Haven't seen any movie where violence is portrayed so poetically. Can't explain in words but there was something about this track which touched me the very first time I heard it.

Movie : Road To Perdition
Music : Thomas Newman

Nara-E-Mastana (I Am Drunk of Love)

2010-01-25T01:14:00.000-08:00

I hardly understand the meaning of this song but it's intoxicating. I am not sure but the title Nara-E-Mastana probably translates to I Am Drunk of Love. Poetry by Wasif Ali Wasif and sung by the great Abida Parveen, it's a haunting piece. Please let me know if anyone has the got the english translation.

main nara-e-mastana main shouqi-e-rindana
main tashna kahan jaaon pee kar bhi kahan jana

main souz-e-mohabbat hoon main aik qayamat hoon
main ashk-e-nadaamat hoon main gouhar-e-yakdana

main tahir-e-lahoti main johar-e-malkooti
nasoot ne kab mujh ko is haal main pehchana

main shamm-e-farozan hoon main aatish-e-larza hoon
main sozish-e-hijraan hoon main manzil-e-parwana

kiss yaad ka shera hoon kiss chashm ka darya hoon
khud toor ka jalwa hoon hai shakl qalbhana

main husn-e-mujassim hoon main gesu-e-barham hoon
main phool hoon shabnam hoon main jalwa-e-janana

main wasif-e-bismil hoon main ronaq-e-mehfil hoon
ik toota hua dil hoon main shehar main veerana

main nara-e-mastana main shouqi-e-rindana
main tashna kahan jaaon pee kar bhi kahan jana

Ab Mujhe Koi Intezaar Kahan

2010-01-23T04:33:00.000-08:00

I am tired of praising Gulzar's poetry and I definitely sound like an old record here. But what can you do when he keeps coming with such beautiful and meaningful lyrics. I don't know if it is deliberate or not but Rekha Bharadwaj sings very few numbers. But whenever she does that in collaboration with Vishal's composition and Gulzar's lyrics, something magic is created.

Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Wo jo behte the aabshaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Woh jo behte the aabshar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Aankh ke ek gaon mein, raat ko khwaab aate the
Aankh ke ek gaon mein, raat ko khwaab aate the
Chhoone se behte the, bole to kehte the
Udte khwaabon ka aitbaar kahan
Udte khwaabon ka aitbaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Jin dino aap the, aankh mein dhoop thi
Jin dino aap rehte the, aankh mein dhoop rehti thi
Ab to jaale hi jaale hain, yeh bhi jaane wale hain
Woh jo tha dard ka qaraar kahan
Woh jo tha dard ka qaraar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Woh jo behte the abshaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan

Tujhe Dekh Kar

2010-01-15T01:44:00.000-08:00

I have always been a fan of Yesudas. He has such a silky and soothing voice that you don't listen to his songs rather they just dissolve in you. Enjoy this beautiful song from the movie Sawan Ko Aane Do.

tujhe dekh kar jag waale par
tujhe dekh kar jag waale par
yakeen nahi kyun kar hoga
tujhe dekh kar jag waale par
yakeen nahi kyun kar hoga

jis ki rachna itni sundar
wo kitna sundar hoga
wo kitna sundar hoga
ho aa..aa..

tujhe dekhne ko main kya
har darpan tarsa karta hai
tujhe dekhne ko main kya
har darpan tarsa karta hai

jyun tulsi ke birwa ko
har aangan tarsa karta hai
har aangan tarsa karta hai

ang ang tera ras ki ganga
ho..ho..
ang ang tera ras ki ganga
roop ka woh saagar hoga
jis ki rachna itni sundar
wo kitna sundar hoga
ho..ho..

raag rang ras ka sangam
aadharat prem kahaani ka
raag rang ras ka sangam
aadharat prem kahaani ka

mere pyaase man mein yun utri
jyun ret mein jharna paani ka
jyun ret mein jharna paani ka

apna roop dikhaane ko
apna roop dikhaane ko
tere roop mein khud ishwar hoga
jis ki rachna itni sundar
wo kitna sundar hoga
wo kitna sundar hoga
wo kitna sundar hoga
ho..ho..aa..aa..

Asheem, the soul of Indian Ocean is no more

2010-01-11T08:07:00.000-08:00

I am deeply pained to know that Asheem Chakravarty, the lead percussionist and singer of Indian Ocean band is no more. He was one of those rare percussionists who could sing while playing the tabla. Most of the compositions by Indian Ocean have minimal vocals but Asheem and Rahul give soul to them and you can feel the words coming straight out from the heart.

I was fortunate to attend one of their concert in Hyderabad and I can vouch that no band or singer even comes a distant close to their live performance and on stage presence. Khajuraho is my favorite song and every time I will listen to it, Asheem playing the tabla, will flash in front of my eyes.

Indina Ocean will not be the same anymore and you will be missed Asheem.

Zubaan Khamosh Hoti Hai

2010-01-10T23:25:00.000-08:00

All of a sudden, from nowhere I started humming this beautiful song of 90s. Those were the days of Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan , Alka Yagnik and the melodious numbers. Let me capture this moment and make it immortal by sharing it here.

zubaan khaamosh hoti hai, nazar se kaam hota hai
isi pal ka zamaane mein mohabbat naam hota hai
dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

zubaan khaamosh hoti hai, nazar se kaam hota hai
isi pal ka zamaane mein mohabbat naam hota hai
dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

haan, dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

yeh woh ehsaas hai jisko na lafzon ki zaroorat hai
jisse paa kar lage saara zamaana khoobsurat hai
zamaana khoobsurat hai

mohabbat naam hai jiska adaaon mein dikhaayi de
teri dhadkan ki har sargam mein yeh mujhko sunaayi de
haan yeh mujhko sunaayi de
mere hothon pe jab tere, labon ka jaam hota hai
isi pal ka zamaane mein mohabbat naam hota hai

dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

haan, dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

badal jaate hai sab aasaar jab yeh pyaar hota hai
bina bole hi chaahat ka haseen izhaar hota hai
haseen izhaar hota hai

khayaalon ki haseen waadi mein jab tum gungunaati ho
meri saanson ke dariya mein kayi toofaan laati ho
kayi toofaan laati ho

bahut bechainiyon mein bhi bada aaraam hota hai
isi pal ka zamaane mein mohabbat naam hota hai
dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

zubaan khaamosh hoti hai, nazar se kaam hota hai
zubaan khaamosh hoti hai, nazar se kaam hota hai
isi pal ka zamaane mein mohabbat naam hota hai

dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya
dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya
haan, dekho dekho dekho mujhe pyaar ho gaya
jaane kab kaise ikraar ho gaya

Hum To Mashhoor Hue Hain

2010-01-08T08:11:00.000-08:00

A beautiful song from movie 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin'. This song was missing from the movie and only released in music album. Very simple yet meaningful lyrics.

Hum to mashhoor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Kitne majboor hue hain aapki chahta mein
Hum to mashhoor hue hain aapki chahat mein...

Aap hi aap hain jaati hai jahan tak yeh nazar
Dil hamara hai magar aap ka haq hai iss par
Duniya se duur hue hain aap ki chahat mein
Kitne majboor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Hum to mashhoor hue hain aapki chahat mein...

Aap se pyaar kiya aapka armaan kiya
Ek nazar mein hi yeh dil aap pe qurbaan kiya
Hum se yeh kusoor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Hum to mashhoor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Kitne majboor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Hum to mashhoor hue hain aapki chahat mein
Aapki chahat mein
Aapki chahat mein

Dil to bachcha hai ji

2010-01-05T09:34:00.000-08:00

Oh thank god!! Finally something came out which just lands directly on heart through ears. Awesome poetry by Gulzar saab, brilliant composition by Vishal and great singing by Rahet Fateh Ali Khan. There are two other beautiful songs 'Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan' and 'Ibn-E-Batuta' in this album 'Ishqiya'.

Aisi uljhi nazar unse hattati nahin

Daant se reshmi dor kattati nahin

Umar kab ki baras ke safed ho gayi

Kaari badari jawani ki chattati nahin

Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai

Chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai

Darr lagta hai tanha sone mein ji

Dil to bachcha hai ji

Thoda kaccha hai ji

Haan dil to baccha hai ji

Aisi uljhi nazar unse hattati nahin

Daant se reshmi dor kattati nahin

Umar kab ki baras ke safed ho gayi

Kaari badari jawani ki chattati nahin

Ra ra ra ..

Kisko pataa tha pehlu mein rakha

Dil aisa paaji bhi hoga

Hum to hamesha samajhte the koi

Hum jaisa haaji hi hoga

Hai zor karein, kitna shor karein

Bewaja baatein pe ainwe gaur karein

Dilsa koi kamina nahin

Koi to rokey, koi to tokey

Iss umar mein ab khaogey dhokhe

Darr lagta hai ishq karne mein ji

Dil to bachcha hai ji

Thoda kaccha hai ji

Haan dil to baccha hai ji

Aisi udhaasi baithi hai dil pe

Hasne se ghabra rahe hain

Saari jawani katra ke kaati

Piri mein takra gaye hain

Dil dhadakta hai to aise lagta hai woh

Aa raha hai yahin dekhta hi na woh

Prem ki maarein kataar re

Taubah ye lamhe kattate nahin kyun

Aankhein se meri hattate nahin kyun

Darr lagta hai mujhse kehne mein ji

Dil toh bachcha hai ji

Thoda kaccha hai ji

Haan dil toh baccha hai ji

Aisi ulji nazar unse hatt ti nahi

Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi

Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi

Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi

Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai

Chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai

Darr lagta hai tanha sone mein ji

Dil to bachcha hai ji

Thoda kaccha hai ji

Haan dil to baccha hai ji

Aisi ulji nazar unse hattati nahin

Daant se reshmi dor kattati nahin

Umar kab ki baras ke safed ho gayi

Kaari badari jawani ki chattati nahin

Ra ra ra ..

Kisko ptaa tha pehlu mein rakha

Dil aisa paaji bhi hoga

Hum to hamesha samajhte the koi

Hum jaisa haaji hi hoga

Hai zor karein, kitna shor karein

Bewaja baatein pe ainwe gaur karein

Dilsa koi kameena nahi

Koi to rokey, koi to tokey

Iss umar mein ab khaogey dhokhe

Darr lagta hai ishq karne mein ji

Dil to bachcha hai ji

Thoda kaccha hai ji

Haan dil to baccha hai ji

Aisi udhaasi baithi hai dil pe

Hassne se ghabra rahe hain

Saari jawani katra ke kaati

Aa raha hai yahin dekhta hi na woh

Prem ki maarein kataar re

Door Na Ja

2009-12-07T09:24:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I have posted any song as things have been a little busy. Also, nothing I came across in recent times has compelled me to do so. This is relatively an old song from Jannat but happened to listen it again today and loved it.

tera chehra meri aankhon mein basa rehne de
khud ko thoda sa kahin mujh mein basa rehne de
door na ja...
door na ja...
door na ja...
door na ja...

aaj ke baad mera saara safar tanha hai
aur tere saath ka bhi aakhari yeh lamha hai
aur kuchh der mujhe
aur kuchh der mujhe
khud se juda rehne de
aur kuchh der mujhe khud se juda rehne de
door na ja...
door na ja...
door na ja...
door na ja...

abb kahin jake mere dil ko yeh lagta hai
yaar ki baahon mein meri jannat ka jahan basata hai
aur kuchh der mujhe
aur kuchh der mujhe
inmein bandha rehne de
aur kuchh der mujhe inmein bandha rehne de
door na ja....
door na ja....
door na ja....
door na ja....

Funeral Blues

2009-11-12T07:22:00.000-08:00

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

~A Poem by W. H. Auden

Intoxicated

2009-11-08T21:33:00.000-08:00

I have always been a fan of raw and earthy music. The sound of mridang, the tabla, the harmonium, the flute still hold it's place in the modern times. And that's why I probably enjoy the qawwalis. This is the song Intoxicated from the album Night Song by the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Michael Brook. Although it's fusion the soul remains.

Jhoomta aa raha hai kyun badal
Yeh bhi shayad koi sharabi hai
Chaal mastana nazar gulabi hai

Jaam jisne utha liya hai fanna
Uski kismat mein kamyaabi hai
Chaal mastana nazar gulabi hai

aa jaao laut kar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...
aa jaao laut kar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...

phir shaam-e-tanhaai jaagi
phir yaad tum aa rahe ho
phir jaan nikalne lagi hai
phir mujhko tadpaa rahe ho
phir mujhko tadpaa rahe ho
is dil mein yaadon ke mele hain
tum bin bahut hum akele hain
aa jaao lautkar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...

kya kya na socha tha maine
kya kya na sapne sajaaye
kya kya na chaaha tha dil ne
kya kya na armaan jagaaye
kya kya na armaan jagaaye
is dil se toofaan guzarte hain
tum bin to jeete na marte hain
aa jaao laut kar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...
aa jaao laut kar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...

Piya by Junoon

2009-09-21T01:36:00.000-07:00

I haven't come across many love songs which are sung so passionately. Awesome guitar play with beats of tabla make this a memorable piece.

It appears there are two versions of this song and I got the subtle version in youtube.

Come as you please my love caress me
Do as you want my love come possess me
The ocean of love calls piya piya
Aa jaa aa piya piya

You are the one inside outside of me
I want you to be the first and last for me
The ocean of love calls piya piya
Aa jaa aa piya piya

Bhoola Tujhe

2009-09-20T05:54:00.000-07:00

If this song won't blow you away then nothing else can. Words fail me to praise it enough. It has become a routine of Rehman to churn out such awesome numbers regularly.

The moment I heard the first few lines I knew that I am listening to something special. I will be high on it for quite some time and everything else can wait.

bhoola tujhe
kaise kahan
hua tujhse kab judaa
ya khuda

hasun ya main
roun bata
hui mujhse kya khata
kya gunah
mere khuda

yehi hai jo maalik teri razaa
meri aazmaaish hai ya sazaa
hayaat qayamat ki ya hai qazza
mere khuda

bhoola tujhe
kaise kahan
hua tujhse kab juda
ya khuda

bache koi khud se bhi
bache na woh kismat se
bacha to woh bas teri azmat se

der se ki dua
dil se pehli baar yeh aayi hai
mere pyaare khuda
mere pyaare khuda

Saawan Ke Jhoole Pade

2009-09-19T03:50:00.000-07:00

saawan ke jhoole pade
saawan ke jhoole pade
tum chale aao, tum chale aao
tum chale aao, tum chale aao

aanchal naa chhode mera
paagal huyi hai pawan
aanchal naa chhode mera
paagal huyi hai pawan
ab kyaa karu main jatan
dhadake jiyaa jaise panchhi ude
saawan ke jhoole pade
tum chale aao, tum chale aao

jab hum mile the piyaa,
tum kitne naadaan the
jab hum mile the piyaa,
tum kitne naadaan the
hum kitne anajaan the,
baali umareeyaan mein nainaa laden

saawan ke jhoole pade
tum chale aao, tum chale aao
tum chale aao, tum chale aao

Shaam Se Aankh Mein Nami Si Hai

2009-09-15T08:38:00.000-07:00

I have been humming this song through the day and it's fitting to end it up here in evening. Great song..

shaam se aankh mein nami si hai
shaam se aankh mein nami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai
shaam se aankh mein nami si hai

dafn kar do humain ke saans mile
dafn kar do humain ke saans mile
nabz kuch der se thami si hai
nabz kuch der se thami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai

waqt rahata nahin kahin tik kar
waqt rahata nahin kahin tik kar
iski aadat bhi aadami si hai
iski aadat bhi aadami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai

koi ristaa nahin raha phir bhi
koi ristaa nahin raha phir bhi
ek tasleem laazmi si hai
ek tasleem laazmi si hai
shaam se aankh mein nami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai

Aur Is Dil Mein Kya Rakha Hai

2009-09-12T09:59:00.000-07:00

Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai
Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai
Cheer ke dekhe dil mera to
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai

Pyaar ke afsaane sune the logon se
Pyaar kya hota hai, yeh tune samjhaaya
Mila dil tujhse to khwaab dekhe aise
Junoon jaane kaisa jawaan dil pe chhaaya
Dil mein aisa dard utha dil ho gaya deewana
Dil ho gaya deewana
Deewanon ne is duniya mein
Deewanon ne is duniya mein
Dard ka naam dava rakha hai
Dard ka naam dava rakha hai
Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai

Nigaahon mein meri yeh soorat hai teri
Zindagi yeh meri amaanat hai teri
Dhadakte seene mein mohabbat hai teri
Mohabbat yeh teri ibaadat hai meri
Tere siva kuch yaad nahin hai tu hi tu dil mein
Haan tu hi tu dil mein
Dil ne yaar ki pooja ki hai
Dil ne yaar ki pooja ki hai
Pyaar ka naam khuda rakha hai
Pyaar ka naam khuda rakha hai
Aur is dil mein kya rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai
Tera hi dard chhupa rakha hai

Cheerke dekhe dil mera to
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai
Tera hi naam likha rakha hai

I Will Love You

2009-09-05T22:58:00.000-07:00

til my body is dust,
'til my soul is no more,
i will love you, love you....

'til the sun starts to cry,
and the moon turns to rust,
i will love you, love you....

but i need to know,
will you stay for all time
forever and a day

then i'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day...

and i need to know,
will you stay for all time
forever and a day?
then i'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day

'til the storms fill my eyes,
and we touch the last time,
i will love you, love you
i will love you, love you
i will love you, love you....

Is Kadar Pyaar Hai Tumse Aye Humsafar

2009-09-05T07:02:00.000-07:00

Many times I don’t chose songs to listen, they somehow chose me. Just went for an evening stroll and suddenly remebered this beautiful song. Such a soothing romantic number and equally sweet music video. Ah!! How I miss the 90s which produced so many great albums and music videos. Sorry to see that not many good albums coming these days. And what happened to the state of music channels like M and V. Should they still be called music channels? I don’t think so. The reality shows screwed them up. I just hate all kind of reality shows. Anyways, enjoy this song.

If you are wondering who this beautiful female model is, then it’s Micehlle Innes. Milind Soman is quite well known I think, thanks to Tuffs Shoes.

is kadar pyaar hai tumse aye humsafar
is kadar pyaar hai tumse aye humsafar
ab to jeete hain hum bas tumhe dekh kar
tumhari har ada tumhari har nazar
yeh kya kehne lagi tumhe hain kya khabar
is kadar pyaar hai tumse aye humsafar
ab to jeete hain hum bas tumhe dekh kar

dil mein hain betabiyan neend udne lagi
tere khayalon se hi aankh judne lagi
har pal tumko dekha maine
kehti hain meri nazar
tumhari har ada tumhari har nazar
yeh kya kehne lagi tumhe hain kya khabar
is kadar pyaar hai tumse ae humsafar
ab to jeete hain hum bas tumhe dekhkar

saason mein basne lagi jabse tu o jaane jaan
apna sa lagne laga mujhko saara jahan
mehka mehka lagta mujhko
khushiyon se dil ka nagar
tumhari har ada tumhari har nazar
yeh kya kehne lagi tumhe hain kya khabar
is kadar pyaar hai tumse aye humsafar

Mera Chand Mujhe Aaya Hai Nazar

2009-09-04T08:48:00.000-07:00

Mera chand mujhe aaya hai nazar
Aye raat zara tham tham ke guzar
Chaaya hai nashaa meri aankhon par
Aye raat zara tham tham ke guzar
Mera chand mujhe aaya hai nazar

Mere dil mein hain armaan kayi kayi
Meri chaahat hai abhi nayi nayi
Reh jaye na pyaasa pyaar mera
Meri baahon mein bhar de yaar mera
Itna sa karam tu kar mujh par
Aye raat zara tham tham ke guzar
Mera chand mujhe aaya hai nazar

Abhi labon ko labon ne chhua nahin
Armaan koi pura hua nahin
Abhi aas ka gulshan khilna hai
Abhi do jismon ko milna hai
Dekhoonga bhi main woh manzar
Aye raat zara tham tham ke guzar

Mera chand mujhe aaya hai nazar
Mera chand mujhe aaya hai nazar

O Gaanwala

2009-08-30T10:34:00.000-07:00

Just came across this beautiful Bengali song by Suman Chattopadhaya. Such a melodious and soothing number that you don't even need to understand the lyrics. A friend of mine helped me to do the translation and it sounds even better now.

O Gaanwala,
Aar ekta gaan gao...
Amar aar kothao jabar nei,
Kischu korar nei!

Cheleybelar sei -
Behala bajano lokta,
Choley gechey behala niye
Choley gechey gaan shuniye!
Ei paltano shomoy,
Firbey ki firbey ta jana nai!
O Gaanwala,
Aar ekta gaan gao...
Amar aar kothao jabar nei,
Kischu korar nei!

Koishor sesh houa,
Rong-chonge shopner din -
Choley gechey rong hairey
Choley gechey mukh firiye!
Ei thatka-bajir deshey
Shopner pakhi gulo bechey nei!
O Gaanwala,
Aar ekta gaan gao...
Amar aar kothao jabar nei,
Kischu korar nei!

Translation:

O singer
Sing one more song
I don't have anywhere to go
I don't anything to do

In childhood's
The guy who used to play violin
Went away with his violin
Went away singing song
This running time
Not sure if it would come back again

O singer
Sing one more song
I don't have anywhere to go
I don't anything to do

Teen age is over
Days of colorful dreams
Went away losing all the colors
Went away turning face
This land of deceiving
No birds of dream are surviving

O singer
Sing one more song
I don't have anywhere to go
I don't anything to do

Planet Terror

2009-08-28T11:03:00.000-07:00

Nothing is perfect. But everything should have at least one overwhelming quality which can make the other imperfections look hazy. The other day I was watching a bizaarely funny movie 'Planet Terror' on Star Movies. I would have easily ignored the movie had I not listened to the title track initially. This has to be one of best soundtrack I have come across in recent times.

Tere Naina Mere Naino Se

2009-08-23T09:58:00.000-07:00

tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi baaten karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi baaten karte hain
jab naina bate karte hain dil mulakaten karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi baaten karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi baaten karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi meethi
meethi baatein karte hain

iin baaton se mulakaton se koi naa koi banegi kahani
phulon ke sang sang dil bhi khilenge
aayegi aisi rut mastani dekhate rehna
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi bate karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi meethi
meethi baatein karte hain

dekho toh jara tum aisa lagata hai
mere mathe se gir gayi bindiya
tujhe bindiya ki padi huyi hai
mere nainon se uud gayi neendiya uud gaya chaina
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi baaten karte hain
tere naina mere naino se meethi meethi meethi
meethi baatein karte hain

Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye

Aye dil bataa yeh tujhe kya hua
Tu hai kyun beqaraar itnaa
Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye

Sapnon mein jo mere aane lagaa hai
Apna woh lagne lagaa hai mujhe
Har pal jo aankhon mein rehne lagaa hai
Pyaara woh lagne lagaa hai mujhe
Maine pehli baar leke uska pyar kiya singaar ho

Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye
Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye

Aye dil bataa yeh tujhe kya hua
Tu hai kyoon beqaraar itnaa

Jee chaahe jee bhar ke chahoon usse main
Chaahat ka mausam na beete kabhi
Uske khayalon mein khoya rahoon main
Manzil mujhe to milegi wahin
Mujhe baar baar hai intezaar kab aaye yaar ho

Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye
Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye

Aye dil bataa yeh tujhe kya hua
Tu hai kyoon beqaraar itnaa

Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye
Kahin pyaar na ho jaaye

shaam phoolon ki, raat phoolon ki

aapka saath saath phoolon ka
aapki baat baat phoolon ki

phool khilte rahenge duniya mein
roz niklegi baat phoolon ki

nazrein milti hain jaam milte hain
mil rahi hai hayaat phoolon ki
phir chhidi raat, baat phoolon ki

yeh mahakati hui gazal makadu
jaise sehara mein raat phoolon ki

phir chhidi raat, baat phoolon ki

Madhosh Dil Ki Dhadkan, Chp See Ye Tanhai

Kahna tha jo hothon se maine ankhon se woh kah liya
Dil mein tere rahna hai mujhko is duniya mein rah liya
Aa lag ja tu is dil se ke milte hai dil mushkil se
Madhosh dil ki dhadkan, chup si yeh tanhayee
Dil liya jaan bhi lega yeh pyar harjayee
Madhosh dil ki dhadkan, chup si yeh tanhayee

Pehli Baar

2009-08-09T11:18:00.001-07:00

This is gold. Pure gold. As if the combination of Gulzar and Vishal was not enough earlier, Mohit joins the gang adding another dimension. I don't know why but somehow I find Mohit's voice unusually haunting.

I would have listened to the song around 'n'th times and kept on thinking that the lines are like this.

Dil ne kaisi harkat ki hai pehli baar
Mohabbat ki hai aakhri baar
Mohabbat ki hai pehli baar
Mohabbat ki hai aakhri baar
Mohabbat ki hai..

But apparently they are not. Still I find them better and powerful.

Thode bheege bheege se thode num hai hum
Kal se soye woye bhi to kam hai hum
Thode bheege bheege se thode num hai hum
Kal se soye woye bhi to kam hai hum

Dil ne kaisi harkat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai

Aankhein doobi doobi si surmai madham..
Jheelen paani paani hai bas tum aur hum
Baat badi hairat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai

Khwaab ke bhoj se kap kapati hui
Halki palken teri Yaad aata hai sab
Tujhe gud gudana satana yuhin sotey hue
Gaal pey tipna michna bewajah besabab

Yaad hai peepal ke jiskey ghaney saaye the
Humnein gilhari ke jhootey matar khaye the
Yeh barqat un hazrat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai

Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Ohoooo oo hooooooooooo
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
Ohoooo oo hooooooooooo

Ruth Ke Humse Kahin

2009-07-26T11:07:00.000-07:00

When you hear the name 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar', probably the first song that comes to everyone's mind is Pehla Nasha. It does come to me too but along with another beautiful song 'Ruth Ke Humse Tum'.

Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Yeh na socha tha kabhi itne yaad aaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin

Main to na chal tha do kadam bhi tum bin
Phir bhi mera bachpan yehi samjha har din
Chhhod ke mujhe bhala ab kahan jaoge tum
Chhhod ke mujhe bhala ab kahan jaoge tum
Yeh na socha tha kabhi itne yaad aaoge tum

Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin

Baaton kabhi hathon se bhi mara hai tumhe
Sada yehi kehke pukara hai tumhe
Kya kar loge mera jo bigad jaoge tum
Kya kar loge mera jo bigad jaoge tum
Yeh na socha tha kabhi itne yaad aaoge tum

Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin

Dekho mere aasoon yehi karte hain pukar
Aao chale aao mere bhai mere yaar
Pochhne aasoon mere kya nahin aaoge tum
Pochhne aasoon mere kya nahin aaoge tum
Yeh na socha tha kabhi itne yaad aaoge tum

Ruth ke humse kahin jab chale jaoge tum
Ruth ke humse kahin

Jis shakhs ki khatir mera ye haal hai

Abhi Nahin Aana Sajana

2009-07-23T11:34:00.000-07:00

A playful romantic number where the beloved is asked not to come so soon. Rather let her enjoy the sweet pain of wait. Unusual yet beautiful. Simple yet soulful.

Abhi nahin aana sajana
Abhi nahin aana sajana
Mohe thoda marne de
Intezar karne de
Abhi nahin aana sajana

Bhejiyo sandesha
Aap nahin aana
Thode door rahke
Mohe tarsana
Abhi to mein chahun
Sari sari raat jagana

Abhi nahi anna sajana
Abhi nahi anna sajana
Mohe thoda marne de
Intezar karne de
Abhi nahin aana..

Ruk ruk aana
Dheere dheere chalna
Bhoolna dagaria, raste badalna
Nahin abhi mohe,garwa nahi hey lagna

Abhi nahi anna sajana
Abhi nahi anna sajana
Mohe thoda marne de
Intezar karne de
Abhi nahin aana..

Abhi na jagao
Bane raho sapna
Abhi san-mukh na lao mukh apna
Abhi to mein chahun, aass lagaye rakhna

Thodi si alag ho to tere chehre ko dekhun..

Soniyo o Soniyo

2009-07-04T23:56:00.000-07:00

The one thing you have to give credit to Bhatt camp is for their taste of music. The movies can be crap, but every time they come up with nice, soothing songs. Many times those are simply copy from somewhere else, but at least they know what to copy. Soniyo o Soniyo is a beautiful number from Raaz 2. There are two versions of this song but I like this one better than the Sonu Nigam one.

Soniyo o soniyo
Tumhein dekhta hoon to sohcta hoon bas yehi
Tum jo mera saath do
Sare gham bhoola ke
Jee lu muskuraake zindagi

Tu dede mera saath tham le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat
Tu bas de de mera saath

Tu dede mera saath tham le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat
Tu bas de de mera saath

Tujh mein hi dekha hai
Maine manzil ko
Tujh mein dhadkan mili is dil ko

Tujh mein hi dekha hai
Maine manzil ko
Tujh mein dhadkan mili is dil ko

Bin tere kadmon tale
Raahen nahin hai tujhe mein kahi hai
Meri zameen

Tu dede mera saath tham le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat
Tu bas de de mera saath
Tu bas de de mera saath

O sun le yaa padh le tu
Meri khamoshi
Hai jarurat teri saanson jaise

O sun le yaa padh le tu
Meri khamoshi
Hai jarurat teri saanson jaise

Tujh se hi sab kuch mila
Ek tu nahi to mera yahan kuch bhi nahi

Tu dede mera saath tham le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat
Tu bas de de mera saath
Tu bas de de mera saath
Mera saath mera saath
Mera saath mera saath
Mera saath mera saath

No Man Will Ever Love You, Like I Do

2009-06-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

It's a shame that I haven't heard Raghu Dixit until yesterday. This man does sound unique and combines Indian Ethnic Folk with Suﬁ and classical music. It's no secret for people who know me or have visited my blog that I like love songs of different flavors. So it was no surprise that I instantly liked the song No Man Will Ever Love You, Like I Do which is sung passionately in Rajasthani folk style.

Anjana dil mera jab se tujhse mila
Begaana pal bhulake apna banake tujhe chal pada
Meri jaanejaan ho jaanejaan

Neele aakash mein khoya baadal hoon main
Goonjoon garajoon aur barasoon
Main hoke tumpe fida
meri jaanejaan ho jaanejaan

Taron mein chand mein dharti aakash mein
Goonje meri aarzoo, meri justjoo
Meri jaanejaan, meri jaanejaan

No man will ever love you, like I do
No man will ever love you, like I do
No man will ever love you, like I do

Mora jiya roye re
Sawariya re tere bina na rahun main
Taron mein chand mein dharti aakash mein
Goonje meri aarzoo, meri justjoo
Meri jaanejaan, meri jaanejaan

No man will ever love you, like I do
No man will ever love you, like I do
No man will ever love you, like I do

Meri jaanejaan
Meri jaanejaan
Meri jaanejaan

2009-06-22T08:23:00.000-07:00

Not again I thought. But it was no surprise and consistent of my choice. I was pretty sure that I will get tons of hit when I search a song from movie Imtihan. Not for the song 'Dheere Dheere' though. Just managed to dig out a video but no lyrics. So writing it down myself. A melodious number from 90s and thankfully Anu Malik didn't sing it himself. Once upon a time, long ago Anu Malik used to be quite good;)

Dheere dheere dheere chori chori chupke chupke
Haule haule dil yeh bole hone de pyar

Yeh shama ashiqui ka phir kab milega yaar

Teri har ada sharabi meri bekhudi badhaye
Koi pyaas dil mein jaage mere paas tu jo aye

Yeh milan hai do dilo ka
Kahe raat yeh suhani
Tune chhuu liya jo mujhko
To nikhar gayi jawani

Main tere labon pe rakhdu
Yeh machalte hoth apne

Yehi chahti hun main bhi
Yehi dekhti hun sapne

Yeh shama ashiqui ka phir kab milega yaar

Dheere dheere dheere chori chori chupke chupke
Haule haule dil yeh bole hone de pyar

Yeh shama ashiqui ka phir kab milega yaar

Dheere dheere dheere chori chori chupke chupke
Haule haule dil yeh bole hone de pyar

Tere jism ki mehak se mera dil hua awara
Uthe dhadkanon mein toofan
Tune jo kiya ishara

Na ho aaj koi parda
Na ho aaj koi duuri
Meri dil mein tu samaja
Tere bin hun main adhuri

Tere hosh mein udadun
Mere hosh tu udade

Yeh jo aag si lagi hai
Ise pyar se bujhade

Yeh shama ashiqui ka phir kab milega yaar

Dheere dheere dheere chori chori chupke chupke
Haule haule dil yeh bole hone de pyar

Yeh shama ashiqui ka phir kab milega yaar

Tum Meri Koi Nahin

2009-06-02T04:49:00.000-07:00

Not everyone will appreciate this song as this doesn't really fit into the typical romantic song category. Only if you have seen the movie or gone through the situation yourself, it will make sense. This is more in the line of poetry recitation and only the composer could have delivered it so beautifully, not any other singer. Simply awesome writing.

Mera tumhara kya rishta hai..Kuch bhi nahin
Agar kabhi tum guzarta dekho…
Kya tum mujhe bulaogi??..Shayad nahin
Agar jo phir hum kabhi na mile to
Kya tum yaad aaogi?..Nahin
Kyun ki tum meri koi nahin
Main janta hun magar
Ho jab meri koi nahin
Kyun lagti ho mujhko parayi nahin

Jab bhi mile hum aisa laga phir, milenge nahin
Phir bhi na jane, kisi bhahane milte gaye
Hum tum magar kahin na kahin
Jab aaj koi nahin hai bahana
Phir kyun thair jaye kadam yahin
Ho tum meri koi nahin main janta hun magar
Ho jab meri koi nahin kyun lagti ho mujhko parayi nahin

Ek ajnabi se itni na ki thi baaten kabhi
Jo chaha dil ne kehta gaya main
Tum se koi bhi doori mujhe lagi na kabhi
Paas tumhare aaya tha kitne, yeh ehsaas ho raha hai mujhe abhi
Par tum meri koi nahin
Shayad mujhe hai yakeen
Ho jab meri koi nahin
Kyun ki tum meri koi nahin

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho…

Love

2009-05-30T00:19:00.000-07:00

I love fairy tales. The triumph of underdogs and happy endings fascinate me.
I love subtlety. The talk of the eyes means more to me than the real words.
I love things short and sweet. I remember writing pages in exam only when I didn't know the answer.
I love the idea of love. Anything which makes 'I' taking a backseat for someone else is real something special.

Having said what I said, there was no chance that I would not have loved this short film.

Khidki by Strings

2009-05-27T10:53:00.000-07:00

And again, one more not so popular song which I find utterly romantic. The lyrics may not be straight forward and is open to interpretation. But, the way I decode the phrase "Ek khidki hai, Ek chehra hai, Toota sheesa hai, Girti shabnam hai", I find it just beautiful.

This song reminds me of a good friend of REC days who always used to tell me: Kya babu!!(Imitating our lab assistant's style). Kya sunta rehta hai? Kaun si khidki, kaun si siddhi, kya hai yeh gaana?:)

Ek khidki hai
Ek chehra hai
Toota sheesa hai
Girti shabnam hai
Woh to dino raat
Meri aankhon mein hai
Kya bhi main uske
Raston mein hun
Raston mein hun

Ek siddhi hai
Ek rasta hai
Koi apna hai
Ya phir sapna hai
Woh to dino raat
Meri aankhon mein hai
Kya bhi main uske
Raston mein hun
Raston mein hun

Pairon tale
Sukhe patto ki jhankar
Aur baadalon mein
Behta hua pyaar

Ek khidki hai
Ek chehra hai
Toota sheesa hai
Girti shabnam hai
Woh to dino raat
Meri aankhon mein hai
Kya bhi main uske
Raston mein hun
Raston mein hun
Raston mein hun
Raston mein hun

Calvin 'n' Hobbes

2009-05-26T11:57:00.001-07:00

Calvin: What's it like to fall in love?
Hobbes: Well... say the object of your affection walks by...
Calvin: Yeah?
Hobbes: First, your heart falls into your stomach and splashes your innards. All the moisture makes you sweat profusely. This condensation shorts the circuits to your brain and you get all woozy. When your brain burns out altogether, your mouth disengages and you babble like a cretin until she leaves.
Calvin: THAT'S LOVE?!?
Hobbes: Medically speaking.
Calvin: Heck, that happened to me once, but I figured it was cooties!!

Socha Na Tha

2009-05-22T23:40:00.000-07:00

The other day I was reading a blog where the author had written word to word what I felt but could not express on paper. It's a god given talent bestowed upon very few who can express their feeling so beautifully. Now, god has already distributed what he had to and me getting not much of it, I have to depend and admire others' creation:) Here is a lovely song from the movie Socha Na Tha.

Kabhi dil ke kareeb, tumhe mere naseeb
Yun laayenge socha na tha
Ek chahat ka pal, sab sawalon ka hal
Yun paayenge socha na tha
Kabhi dil ke kareeb

Aankhein jo ab meri aankhon mein hain
Dhoond raha tha kayi salon se
Kitni milti hain aankhein yeh
Khwabon se mere khayalon se
Ke haqeeqat mein hum, sapno ka sanam
Yun paayenge socha na tha
Kabhi dil ke kareeb, tumhe mere naseeb

Kabhi tanha baithe baithe yun hi
Pal mein hi main ghum ho jaati thi
Main bhi kahaan main rehti thi
Aksaar main tum ho jaati thi
Yeh ajaab si khata, aur isski saza
Yun paayenge socha na tha
Kabhi dil ke kareeb, tumhe mere naseeb
Yun laayegne socha na tha
Ek chahat ka pal, sab sawalon ka haal
Yun paayenge socha na tha

Morni by Mohit Chauhan

2009-05-20T10:17:00.000-07:00

I mentioned about this beautiful Himahchali folk song in my last post. I had heard this song few years back and it was there somewhere in back up of mind. Thankfully, came across it again and this time won't let it fade away. I had no clue what it meant but it felt so soothing and haunting. A friend explained the meaning and I have tried to put the translation which might not be entirely correct. Enjoy!!

Amma poochdi sun dhiye mere aee
Dhubari itni tu kiya kareeya hoyee yee

[Mother Asks Listen O my daughter,
Why are you so restless?]

Paarli vaniya mor jo bole ho
Amma ji ina more nindara gawayi ho

[Daughter says: The peacock is hooting in the next forest,
O mother, his hooting has taken away my sleep]

Sad le bandukiyo sad le shikari jo
Dhiye bhlaa idaa mor maar girana ho

[Mother says: Lets call hunters and gunner,
O daughter we will take this peacock down.]

Morni marna ayeeee ooooooo
Morni marna morni gawana ho
Oh ammaji inda mor hinjare puwana ho

[Daughter says: No we will not shoot it,
I will put it in a cage]

Kuthi janda chandrama
Kuthi janda tare ho
Ohh aamji kuthi jande dilla-de piyare hoo

[Where does moon go and where do all stars go?
O mother, where do all our dear ones go? ]

Ho chuhpi janda chandrama
Chhupi jandee tare hoo
Dhiye bhala nayyoo chupe dilande pyare ho

[Moon hides and so do all the stars,
But my dear daughter, our dear ones don't disappear anywhere as they remains in our heart.]

~A song by Mohit Chauhan

Ranjhana

2009-05-19T09:14:00.000-07:00

Dev D has been due for a long time. Finally listening to the album thanks to a friend. The album overall is quite good and different. There are few numbers which stand out for me. One of them is a small but soulful song 'Ranjhana' which will touch your heart.

Okie Okie. I can hear my friends shouting what's new that I liked this song. A slow song with a touch of sadness. That's enough for me to like. They are partly right and somehow I end up liking slow songs with meaningful lyrics. But I must admit that I love many songs which I don't understand a single bit. Next post will be a Himachali folk song which I had no clue about till a friend explained me the lyrics.

Na raha mera yaar
Tune sang, tune ang naa lagayi
Birha ki agni mein chokhi jalayi
Hadd se bhi hadd hadd kardi
Na chaali dil ki marzi
Chhaliya ve jaa jaa
Baat dekhi teri barson maine
Gaaj tune giradi dil pe more
Bedardi samjha na tu more sukh ko
Tujh bin din raat ke saaye,
Tujh bin kuch bhaaye na haye...

Dhola, dhola re...

Jalan by Aaroh

2009-05-15T04:55:00.000-07:00

Phir woh jalan
Phir wohi aag
Kab tak rahegi
Man ki yeh pyas

Yeh dhadkanein kab tak chalein
Jalti rahegi jab tak yeh aag

Le ke pyar ankhon mein
Tum ek bar aaoo naa
Kaise katega jeevan is aas mein
Ya to meri yaadon meinnn aao naaaaaa..
Ya phir meri bahon mein aao naaaaaa..

Aa rahi hai teri yaad
Dil mera phir bekarar
Dekhe nigahein rasta tera
Katena raatein dil lage naaa

Han milogi yeh aeitbar hai
Na milogi to iska raagh hai
Rehta hun main kyon is aas mein

Ya to meri yadon mein aao naaa
Ya phir meri bahon mein aao naaa
Ya to meri yadon mein aao naaa
Ya phir meri bahon mein aao naaa
Ya to meri yadon mein aao naaa
Ya phir meri bahon mein aao naaa

--A song by Pakistani Band "Aaroh"

Phir Dekhiye

2009-05-09T23:12:00.000-07:00

Aankhon mein jis ke koi to khwaab hai
Khush hai wahin jo thoda betaab hai
Zindagi mein koi arzooo kijiye
Phir dekhiye...

Hothon pe jis ke koi to geet hai
Woh haare bhi to us ki hi jeet hai
Dil mein jo geet hai gun guna lijiye
Phir dekhiye...

Yaadon mein jis ke kisi ka naam hai
Sapno ke jaise us ki har shaam hai
Koi to ho jise apna dil dijiye
Phir dekhiye...

Khwab buun yeh zara geet sun yeh zara
Phool chun yeh zara
Phir dekhiye...

Maaeri by Euphoria

2009-05-03T11:27:00.000-07:00

How can I miss this song for so long and not mention it here? The song which made the band Euphoria and who paid back with so many lovely numbers thereafter. Such a beautiful song, though I must admit that I don't understand some portion of the lyrics. But then when do we need to understand lyrics to love a song. Not for nothing that they say music has no language.

Teriyaan meriyaan pul gaya
Pul gaya haar te jeet
Hey maaye kee karna main jeet nu
Hovey na je meet,hovey na je meet

Bindiya lagati to kaampti thi palkaen maaeri
Chunniyan sajaa ke woh deti waadein kal ke maaeri
Mere haathon mein tha uska haath
Thi chaashni si har uski baat
Maaeri aap hi hansdi, maaeri aap hi rondi
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri
Gallan o kardi, maaeri aakhan naal larhdi
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh maaeri
Hey maaeri..

Baarishon main lipatke maa aati thi woh chalke maaeri
Deriyaan ho jaye to roti halke halke maaeri
Phir se main roun, phir woh gaye
Thandi hawaayen ban ke chhaye
Maaeri heeri o gaandi, maaeri gidde o paundi
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri
Jannataa langdi, maaeri mannatta mangdi
Maaeri yaad vo yaad woh aaeri

Ab kya karoon, kaa se kahoon e maaeri
Ab kya karoon, kaa se kahoon e maaeri

Duniya parayee chhod ke aajaa
Jhoote saare naate tod ke aajaa
Sau rab di tujhe ek baari aajaa
Ab ke milein to honge na judaa
Na judaa... Na judaa... haaa...

Hoonte to aaye, koi te le aaye
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri
Gallaan o kardi, maaeri akhiyan nal larhdi
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri
Pull gayi mera pyaar maae, bas lage maheene char
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri
Yaad woh aaie, maaeri yaad woh aaie
Maaeri yaad woh yaad woh aaeri

Ab kya karoon, ka se kahoon e maaeri
Ab kya karoon, ka se kahoon e maaeri.

Yakeen by Atif Aslam

2009-04-16T00:13:00.000-07:00

Why be complex when simplicity can be beautiful. No need of difficult words, no need of an orchestra if words come out from heart. Beautiful song.

Aaj dil dukha hai, tum yaad aaye
Anjaan log hain, apne kahan dhoond paye
Jaage hain, soye nahi
Aisi hai meri yeh bechaini
Din bhi wohi, raatein wohi
Saanson mein saansein hain nahin

Shaamein ab dhalti nahin
Aanchal jo tera simat jaaye
Aap yahaan hamesha rahein
Doori rahe na ho faasle

Jaage hain soye nahi
Aisi hai meri yeh bechaini
Din bhi wohi, raatein wohi
Saanson mein saansein hai nahin

Ab agar tum mile to
Itna yakeen hai
Has denge hum to
Rona nahin hai

Inteha aaj ishq ki kardi

2009-04-14T10:55:00.000-07:00

Inteha aaj ishq ki kardi
Aapke naam zindagi kardi

Tha andhera garibkhane mein
Aapne ake roshni kardi

Dene wale ne unko hushn diya
Aur atah mujhko ashiqui kardi

Tumne zulfo ko rukh pe bikhra kar
Sham rangeen aur bhi kardi

Aapke naam zindagi kardi
Aapke naam zindagi kardi
Inteha aaj ishq ki kardi
Inteha aaj ishq ki kardi

Pari Hoon Main

2009-04-13T11:34:00.000-07:00

This song goes a long way back; To the days of singers like Suneeta Rao, Alisha Chinai and Baba Sehgal, to the days of DD and the music related program 'Ek Se Badkar Ek'. It was nice to be reminded of this song in a bus in Blore by some ***.* FM channel:)

Aayi main to aayi
Nazaaron ke anjaane ek jahaan se
Laayi main to laayi baharon ke afsane
Bhi wahaa se

Na na mujhe chuu na na duur hi rehna
Pari hoon main

Aye koyi mere pannhao mein le jaaye
Yeh nazaare
Dekhe koi mere nighao mein
Pehchaane yeh ishaare

Na na mujhe chu na na duur hi rehna
Pari hoon main

Pari hoon main
Mujhe naa chuuna
Pari hoon main

Phoolon mein jo noor hai
Mera hi suroor hai ho ho…
Aankhon mein guroor hai
Khwabon ka kusoor hai…

Thoda sa karaar hai
Thoda sa khumaar hai ho ho…
Kiska intezaar hai
Kaisa intezaar hai…

Koi to aisa ho
Saanson ko meri mehka jaaye

Ayi mein to ayi
Nazaaro ke anjaane ek jahaa se
Layi mein to layi baharon ke afsane
Bhi wahaa se

Na na mujhe chuu na duur hi rehna
Pari hoon main
Pari hoon main
Mujhe na chuuna
Pari hoon main

Dheemi dheemi dhadkane
Meethi meethi uljhane o ho…
Jo bhi mere paas hai mere liye khaas hai…
Dekho meri arzoo
Baithi meri rubaroo
Kaisi meri justajoo
Bikhri hai char soo…
Koi to aisa ho
Aake jo mera dil le jaaye

Ayi mein to ayi
Nazaaro ke anjaane ek jahaan se
Layi mein to layi baharon ke afsane
Bhi wahaa se

Na na mujhe chu na na duur hi rehna
Pari hoon main
Pari hoon main
Mujhe naa chuuna
Pari hoon main

Aap ki to aada ho gayi

Aapse jo wafa ho gayi

Gulaal - The Masterpiece

2009-03-15T02:17:00.000-07:00

There are very few movies which can compel me to write about them. I happened to watch Gulaal yesterday and was completely blown away. It is complex, powerful, humorous, courageous, engaging, fascinating and whatever other adjectives you can think of. I felt like watching poetry on screen. Music and lyrics are awesome and acting is superb by almost all characters. Piyush Mishra as the eccentric poet Prithvi Bana, Kay Kay Menon as the rebel Dukey Bana and Abhimanyu Singh as Rananjay Singh deserve special mention. I wonder how this kind of cinema doesn't go to Oscar. Anyway we should be thankful to director like Anurag Kashyap who dares to make movies like Black Friday and Gulaal.

Koi Nahin Hai

2009-03-13T02:18:00.000-07:00

There are few songs which remind me of my hostel days in Hall 2, REC Rourkela. We used to have very limited channels coming and luckily MTV was one of them. I used to spend a lot of time in common room watching the songs. I can remember two songs "Tu Hi To Meri Zindagi" and "Koi Nahin Hai" for which I used to find reasons to go to common room and wait for them. I think that's enough to give the message how much I like it. I didn't find the lyrics on google so doing the honour myself. Enjoy this beautiful and soothing romantic song.

Koi nahin hai phir bhi awaaz aa rahi hai
Shayad meri mohabbat shayad meri mohabbat
Mujhko bula rahi hai

Mere labon ko uske andaaz mil rahe hain
Mere labon ko uske andaaz mil rahe hain
Uske sooron ko mere alfaz mil rahe hain

Main geet likh raha hun woh geet ga rahi hai
Main geet likh raha hun woh geet ga rahi hai
Shayad meri mohabbat shayad meri mohabbat
Mujhko bula rahi hai

Yeh meri zindagi ki sabse hasin ghadi hai
Yeh meri zindagi ki sabse hasin ghadi hai
Nazron ke samne woh chhup kar kahin khadi hai

Na paas aa rahi hai na duur jaa rahi hai
Na paas aa rahi hai na duur jaa rahi hai
Shayad meri mohabbat shayad meri mohabbat
Mujhko bula rahi hai

Bas ek jhalak dikha ke pagal bana diya hai
Bas ek jhalak dikha ke pagal bana diya hai
Badal ko usne apna kajal bana diya hai

Phoolon se ab woh apni zulfe saja rahi hai
Phoolon se ab woh apni zulfe saja rahi hai
Shayad meri mohabbat shayad meri mohabbat
Mujhko bula rahi hai

Koi nahin hai phir bhi awaaz aa rahi hai
Shayad meri mohabbat shayad meri mohabbat
Mujhko bula rahi hai
Mujhko bula rahi hai
Mujhko bula rahi hai
