Tu Jo Nahin Hai

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

Door Na Ja

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....

Tum Bin

tum bin kya hai jeena, kya hai jeena
tum bin kya hai jeena
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin
sadiyon se lambi hain raatein
sadiyon se lambe huye din
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...

tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin
sadiyon se lambi hain raatein
sadiyon se lambe huye din
aa jaao lautkar tum, yeh dil keh raha hai...

I Will Love You

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....

Mera Chand Mujhe Aaya Hai Nazar

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

Tere Naina Mere Naino Se

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

raat hai ya baaraat phoolon ki

phool ke haar, phool ke gajre
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
raat hai ya baaraat phoolon ki

Morni by Mohit Chauhan

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

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...

Phir Dekhiye

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...

Yakeen by Atif Aslam

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

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

Koi Nahin Hai

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

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

Kahin To Milegi

There are some things in life which you just remember. They weren't really unique but you still remember. It can be a a story, a small secret from childhood days, a small fight with your friend which you still laugh about, a scene from a movie or a song.

There was nothing great about the movie 'Milan' directed by Mahesh Bhatt which I would have seen in those DD days, but I still remember it. Check out this beautiful song from that movie.

Kahin to milegi mohabbat ki manzil
Yeh dil ka musafir chala ja raha hoon

Kahin to milegi mohabbat ki manzil
Yeh dil ka musafir chala ja raha hoon

Nazar mein saji hain khayalon ki mehfil
Umeedon ka suraj dhala ja raha hai

Jal ke bujhe, zindagi ki shamaa
Kho jaye din, kya pata kab kahan
Hai yeh kaisi dagar, hai yeh kaisa safar
Na kisi ko pata, ha kisi ko khabar
Hai toofan men kashti, badi door hai sahil
Yeh dil ka musafir chala ja raha hai

Pal na ruke, ek pal ke liye
Jeeta rahe pyaar, kal ke liye
Kare koi sitam, mile koi saza
Dil bhoole nahin, kabhi pehli wafa
Jo haare na himmat, kare sab woh haasil
Yeh dil ka musafir chala ja raha hai

Kahin to Milegi mohabbat ki manzil
Yeh dil ka musafir chala ja raha hai

Ek Lau Is Tarah Kyun

Finally I was able to track down this beautiful and touching song which was in back of my mind for a couple of months. I heard a little bit of it on NDTV after Mumbai attack but not enough to search it on net. Just now managed to hear it again and as I had anticipated it's one of the best song I have listened to in recent past.

Gardishon mein rehti, behti guzarti
Zindagiyan hai kitni
In mein se ek hai, teri meri agni
Koi ek jaisi apni
Par khuda khair kar,
Aisa anjaam kisi rooh ko na de kabhi yahaan
Goonchha muskurata ek, Waqt se pehle
Kyun chhod chala tera yeh jahaan
Ek lau is tarah kyon bujhi mere maula
Ek lau zindagi ki maula

Dhoop ke ujaale se, aus ke pyaale se
Khushiyaan mile humko
Zyada maanga hai kahaan, sarhadein na ho jahan
Duniya mile humko
Par khuda khair kar,
Uske armaan mein kyun bewajah ho koi qurbaan
Goonchha muskurata ek, Waqt se pehle
Kyun chhod chala tera ye jahan
Ek lau is tarah kyon bujhi mere maula
Ek lau zindagi ki maula

Rajnigandha Phool Tumhare

Such innocence, melody, simplicity and sweetness of this song is a rarity these days.

Yun hi mahake preet piya ki mere anuraagi maan mein

Rajanigandha phool tumhare, mahake yun hi jeevan mein
Yun hi mahake preet piya ki mere anuraagi maan mein

Aadhikaar ye jab se saajan ka har dhadakan par maanaa maine
Main jab se un ke saath bandhee, ye bhed tabhee jaanaa maine
Kitna sukh hain bandhan mein

Rajanigandha phool tumhare, mahake yun hi jeevan mein
Yun hi mahake preet piya ki mere anuraagi maan mein

Har pal meri in aankhon mein bas rahate hain sapane unke
Har pal meri in aankhon mein bas rahate hain sapane unke
Maan kahataa hain main rangon ki, ek pyar bhari badali ban ke
Barasoo un ke aangan mein

Rajanigandha phool tumhaare, mahake yun hi jeevan mein
Yun hi mahake preet piya ki mere anuraagee maan mein

Kisi Nazar Ko Tera Intezaar

Kisi nazar ko teraa, intezaar aaj bhi hai
Kahan ho tum ke yeh dil bekaraar aaj bhi hai

Woh wadiyaan, woh fizaayen ke hum mile the jahaan
Meri wafaa kaa wahi par mazaar aaj bhi hai

Na jaane dekh ke kyun unko yeh hua ehasaas
Ke mere dil pe unhe ikhtiyaar aaj bhi hai

Woh pyaar jis ke liye humne chhod di duniyaa
Wafaa ki raah mein ghaayal woh pyaar aaj bhi hai

Yakin nahin hain magar aaj bhi yeh lagtaa hai
Meri talaash mein shayad bahaar aaj bhi hai

Na pooch kitne mohabbat ke zakhm khaayi hain
Ke jinko soch ke dil sau gawar aaj bhi hai

Zindagi kya koi nisaar kare
Kis se duniya mein koi pyaar kare
Apnaa saayaa bhi apnaa dushman hai
Kaun ab kiska aitbaar kare… aitbaar kare…

Jab Nahi Aaye The Tum

Jab nahi aaye the tum
Tab bhi mere saath the tum
Dil mein dhadkan ki tarah
Tan mein jeevan ki tarah
Mere dharti mere mausam
Mere din raat the tum
Jab nahi aaye the tum
Tab bhi mere saath the tum

Phool khilte the to aati thi tumhari khushboo
Har haseen sham jagati thi tumhara jadoo
Aaine mein mere har din ki mulakaat the tum
Dil mein dhadkan ki tarah
Tan mein jeevan ki tarah
Mere dharti mere mausam
Mere din raat the tum
Jab nahi aaye the tum
Tab bhi mere saath the tum

Adh mundi aankh mein sajta hua ek khwaab the tum
Pehli barsaat main bheega hua mehtaab the tum
Hoth mere the magar inki har ek baat the tum
Dil mein dhadkan ki tarah
Tan mein jeevan ki tarah
Mere dharti mere mausam
Mere din raat the tum
Jab nahi aaye the tum
Tab bhi mere saath the tum

Ek Woh Din Bhi The

When Gulzar meets Vishal, magic is created. Maachis, Satya, Omkara, Maqbool, No Smoking, Sunset Point, Tere Ishq Mein are some examples. Not to forget a lesser known but awesome song from the movie 'Chachi 420'. Such depth with simple words can only be weaved by Gulzar.

Ek woh din bhi the...
Ek yeh din bhi hain...
Ek woh din bhi the...
Ek yeh din bhi hain...
Ek woh raat thi, ek ye raat hai
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi....
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi...

Ek woh din bhi the...
Ek yeh din bhi hain...
Ek woh raat thi, ek ye raat hai
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi....
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi...

Koi aata hai palkon pe chalta hua
Ek aansu sunehri sa jalta hua
Khwab bujh jayenge
Raakh reh jayegi
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi....
Raat yeh bhi guzar jaayegi...

Waqt saalon ki dhund se nikal jaayega
Tera chehera nazar se pighal jaayega
Aankh band hogi to
Neend aa jaayegi
Raat ye bhi guzar jaayegi....
Raat ye bhi guzar jaayegi...
