Mera Kuch Samaan

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

Yeh Zameen Gaa Rahi Hai

yeh zameen gaa rahi hai aasamaan gaa rahaa hai
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai

shaukh kaliyon ke ghoonghat sarakne lage hain
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
saath mere ye sara jahaan gaa rahaa hai

Saawan Ke Jhoole Pade

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

Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer

There are just too many reasons for me to like this song. Filmed on Amitabh and Waheeda, music by the great 'Rahuldev Burman', sung by the genius 'Kishore da' and simple but meaningful lyrics. I may be partial to Amitabh but I rate him very high as a singer. The sad version of this number by him is equally good.

Jidhar dekhoon teri tasveer nazar aati hai
Teri soorat meri takdeer nazar aati hai

Jindaa hoo main, tere liye, jeevan tera hai
Mera hai jo, sab hai tera, ab kyaa mera hai
Meri khushiyon ki tu jaagir, nazar aati hai

Binaa dekhe, binaa jaane, tanaman baandhe jo
Bandhan jo, janam janam mar ke judaa naa ho
Teri chaahat wohi zanjeer nazar aati hai

Jidhar dekhoon teri tasaveer nazar aati hai
Teri soorat meri takadeer nazar aati hai
