UTV movies is playing the movie Life in a Metro today, I have watched the movie once before, and have heard the songs many a times, from the lovely AdnanSami’s Baatein kuch ankahi si, to the more popular “In dino”, but today what struck me is the lyrical beauty, rishtey toh nahi..
Here goes the full song
(rishtey toh nahi rishton ki parchaayiyaan mile
yeh kaisi bheed bass yahaan tanhaayiyaan mile) – 2rishtey toh nahi rishton ki parchaayiyaan mile
yeh kaisi bheed bass yahaan tanhaayiyaan mile(ek chhat ke tale ajanabi ho jaate hai rishtey
bistar pe chaadaro se chhup so jaate hai rishtey) – 2
dhunde se bhi iname nahi darmaayiyaan mile
yeh kaisi bheed hai bass yahaan tanahaayiyaan mile(jisko bhi dekhiye woh adhura sa hai yahaan
jaise kahin ho aur woh aadha rakha huwa) – 2
ho jab jahaan jude wahi judaayiyaan mile
yeh kaisi bheed bass yahaan tanhaayiyaan mile(rishtey toh nahi rishton ki parchaayiyaan mile
yeh kaisi bheed bass yahaan tanhaayiyaan mile) – 2
Just look at these words
ek chhat ke tale ajanabi ho jaate hai rishtey
bistar pe chaadaro se chhup so jaate hai rishtey
People become strangers below the same roof, relationships get hidden below the sheets spread on the bed. Just one word..Lovely.
I love this song and have always marveled at those very two lines always while listening to it!
