Abhi Nahin Aana Sajana

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

No Man Will Ever Love You, Like I Do

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

Khidki by Strings

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

Jalan by Aaroh

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"

Pari Hoon Main

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
