Bhoola Tujhe

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

bhoola tujhe
kaise kahan
hua tujhse kab juda
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
mere pyaare khuda
mere pyaare khuda
mere pyaare khuda

Aarti - Tumhre Bhavan Mein

A friend of mine always says that I like all Bhajan or Prayer type songs. Probably he is right to an extent. I like all sort of songs and this category is one of them. So this is no surprise that I loved 'Aarti - Tumhre Bhavan Mein' instantly. It's so pure, pious, serene, soothing and mesmerizing. I feel like praying..

Tumhre bhavan mein jyot jaage
Jyot jaage mere paap bhage
Aanand mangal ho…
Mere ambaa
Brahmaji ved japaa hai tere dwaare maiya
Brahmaji mere ambaa
Hey maataa dwaare jawa
Brahmaji ved japaa hai tere dwaare
Shankar dhyaan lagaye maiyaa ke dwaare
Shankar dhyaan lagaye maiyaa ke dwaare
Shankar dhyaan lagaye… ambaa
Tumhre bhavan maataa jyot jaage
Jyot jaage mere paap bhage
Aanand mangal ho… meri ambaa
Naarad nirat kare tere dwaare maayaa
Naarad hey mere ambaa naarad dwaare jawa
Naarad nirat kare tere dwaare
Kanud been bajaave maiyaa ke dwaare
Kanud been bajaave mere maa ke dwaare
Kanud been bajaave… ambaa

Rehna Tu

A R Rahman might have got Oscar for 'Jai Ho', but this song is even superior to that. Such simple lyrics but so complex composition. Poor bathroom singers like me can't even sing it:). I find it utterly romantic and Prasson Joshi as usual has been superb. What a line: 'Mujhe teri barish mein bheegna hai ghuljana hai'. I can see so much of Gulzar saab in Prasoon's poetry.


Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Thoda sa dard tu
Thoda sukoon

Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Dheema dheema jhonka
Ya phir junoon
Thoda sa resham
Tu humdum
Thoda sa khurdura
Kabhi to add jaye
Ya lad jaye
Ya khushboo se bhara

Tujhe badalna na chahoon
Rati bhar bhi sanam
Bina sajawat milawat
Na jyaada na hi kam

Tuhje chaahoon jaisa hai tu
Mujhe teri barish mein bheegna hai ghuljana hai
Tujhe chaahoon jaisa hai tu
Mujhe tere lapat mein jalna rakh ho jana hai

Tu zakhm de agar
Marham bhi aakar tu lagaaye
Zakhm mein bhi mujhko pyaar aaye

Dariya o dariya
Doobne de mujhe dariya
Doobne de mujhe dariya

Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Thoda sa dard tu
Thoda sukoon

Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Dheema dheema jhonka
Ya phir junoon

Haath tham chalna ho
To dono ke daye haath sang kaise
Haath tham chalna ho
To dono ke daye haath sang kaise

Ek daaya hoga ek baaiya hoga
Tham haath yeh thaam le
Chalna hai sang tham le

Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Thoda sa dard tu
Thoda sukoon

Rehna tu
Hai jaisa tu
Dheema dheema jhonka
Ya phir junoon

Thoda sa resham
Tu humdum
Thoda sa khurdura
Kabhi daud jaye
Ya lad jaye
Ya khushboo se bhara

Tujhe badalna na chahoon
Rati bhar bhi sanam
Bina sajawat milawat
Na jyaada na hi kam

Tuhje chahoon jaisa hai tu
Mujhe teri barish mein bheegna hai ghuljana hai
Tujhe chahoon jaisa hai tu
Mujhe teri lapat mein jalna rakh ho jana hai

Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi

There is nothing called 'True Love'. A friend threw the topic casually while 'we', a group of friends from college days were in between discussion involving random topics. I was probably not the right person to counter that, but I did. I could not think of many points to arm my arguments with. Should I have ? Aren't some things just felt but hard to be put on paper. My friend's logic is that whatever people do is actually selfishness in shadow of true love. I definitely don't buy that point. If one wants to see conspiracy theory then he can see that in mother's love for her child too. I cut short the discussion as I knew it has no conclusion.

I watched the movie Ghajini and to me it is more of a love story than action movie. My favorite part of the movie is the song 'Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi' which is being played when Asin sells her car and gives the money to Aamir. It's here that Aamir feels the depth of Asin's love for him. And I smiled and remembered the argument I was having with my friend. Probably, feeling is believing.

As usual awesome work by Prasoon Joshi and A R Rehman.

Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, kismat pe aaye na yakin
Utar aayi jheel mein, jaise chaand utarata hai kabhi
Haule haule, dheere se
Gunguni dhup ki tarah se tarnnum main tum
Chhuke mujhe gujari ho yun
Dekhu tumhe, ya main sunu
Tum ho sukoon, tum ho junoon
Kyun pehle na aayi tum
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, kismat pe aaye na yakin

Main toh yeh sochata tha, ke aaj kal uparwale ko fursat nahi
Phir bhi tumhe banaake woh, meri nazar mein chadh gaya
Rutbe main woh aur badh gaya
Aa aa aa aa....

Badale raaste jharne aur nadi, badale dip ki tim tim
Chhede zindagi dhun koi nayi, badali barkha ki rimjhim
Badlengi rituye ada, par main rahungi sada
Usi tarah teri baaho mein baahe daalake, har lamaha, har pal
Aa aa aa aa....

Zindagi sitaar ho gayi, rim jhim malhaar ho gayi
Mujhe aata nahi kismat pe apani yakin
Kaise mujhko mil gayi tum..

Nahin Saamne

Like a lightning, songs strike me suddenly; Sometimes while trying to sleep, sometimes on the way to office, sometimes while working and so on. Today, it was turn of this beautiful song from 'Taal' on the way to office.

Dekho chhodke kis raste woh jaate hain
Saare raste waapas mere dil ko aate hain

Dil se
Nahin saamne
Nahin saamne ye alag baat hai
Nahin saamne ye alag baat hai
Mere paas hai
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere saath hai mere saath hai

Tera naam maine liya hai yahaan
Mujhe yaad tune kiya hai wahaan
Tera naam maine liya hai yahaan
Mujhe yaad tune kiya hai wahaan
Bade zor ki aaj barsaat
Bade zor ki aaj barsaat
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere saath hai mere saath hai

Bichhad ki bhi mujhse juda to nahin
Khafa hai magar bewafa to nahin
Bichhad ki bhi mujhse juda to nahin
Khafa hai magar bewafa to nahin
Mere haath mein hi tera haath hai
Mere haath mein hi tera haath hai
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere paas hai tu mere paas hai
Mere saath hai mere saath hai
Mere paas hai mere paas hai
Mere saath hai mere saath hai
Mere paas hai mere paas hai
