Jhonka hawa ka….

One of my most favorite songs, good lyrics, great visuals. The director Sanjay leela bhansali really masters the art of depicting strong emotions with use of wonderful colors and music. Every time I see the song, I can feel the hope in the actor’s face and his voice.
Of all the songs Sanjay has done, this according to me is his best.

The lines I liked the most have to be,

“Mere Khayaalon Mein Sanam Khud Se Bhi Baatein Karti Hogi Na
Main Dekhta Hoon Chhup Chhupke Tumko Mehsoos Karti Hogi Na”

In my thoughts you must be talking to yourself..
You must be feeling sometimes, as thought I am hiding and watching you”

Hanste Hanste Aankhein Tumhari Bhar Bhar Aati Hogi Na
Mujhko Dhaka Tha Dhoop Mein Jisse Vo Aanchal Bhigoti Hogi Na

As you smile, the eyes might have overwhelmed with tears,
and wet the Aanchal[end of the saree] which had once protected me from sun

Jhonka Hava Ka Aaj Bhi Zulfein Udaata Hoga Na
Tera Dupatta Aaj Bhi Tere Sar Se Sarakta Hoga Na
Baalon Mein Tere Aaj Bhi Phool Koi Sajta Hoga Na
Thandi Havaein Raaton Mein Tujhko Thapkiya Deti Hogi Na
Chaand Ki Thandak Khwaabon Mein Tujhko Leke To Jaati Hogi Na
Sooraj Ki Kirnen Subah Ko Teri Neendein Udaati Hogi Na
Mere Khayaalon Mein Sanam Khud Se Bhi Baatein Karti Hogi Na
Main Dekhta Hoon Chhup Chhupke Tumko Mehsoos Karti Hogi Na
Jhonka Hava Ka Aaj Bhi Zulfein Udaata Hoga Na

Kaagaz Pe Meri Tasveer Jaisi Kuchh To Banati Hogi Na
Ulat Palatke Dekh Ke Usko Jee Bhar Ke Hansti Hogi Na
Hanste Hanste Aankhein Tumhari Bhar Bhar Aati Hogi Na
Mujhko Dhaka Tha Dhoop Mein Jisse Vo Aanchal Bhigoti Hogi Na
Saawan Ki Rimjhim Mera Taraana Yaad Dilati Hogi Na
Ek Ek Meri Baatein Tumko Yaad To Aati Hogi Na
Yaad To Aati Hogi Na
Yaad To Aati Hogi Na
Kya Tum Mere In Sab Sawaalon Ka Kuchh To Jawaab Dogi Na

Kitni Baatein

As I switched on TV, I saw the this song playing, I would have to admit that Laskhya is one of the few movies of Hrithik Roshan which I liked. May be it was not him but the story which I could relate to very well.

The opening lines go

Kitni Baatein Yaad Aati Hai
Tasveerein Si Ban Jaati Hain
Main Kaise Inhein Bhooloon
Dil Ko Kya Samjhaaun “

Kitni Baatein Kehne Ki Hai
Honton Par Jo Sehmi Si Hai
Ik Roz Inhein Sun Lo
Kyun Aise Gum-sum Ho

Kyun Poori Ho Na Paayi Daastaan

Kaise Aayi Hai Aisi Dooriyaan

I was bowled over with the use of words, and the emotions they stood for, even the shots of the song are very apt for the lyrics.

so many words of ours that I remember, form a picture of sorts, how can I forget them, how can I make my heart understand

You can watch the video here

One of the songs, which I first heard on the program “Rangoli” at an age, where lyrics made no sense to me. My mom, like all other females from her era, is a big fan of Dev Anand, and she used to like this song very much.

I heard this song many times since then, and every time I listen to the song, the last stanza inspires me more and more.


Gham Aur Khushi Mein Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahan
Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya

[A place where I cannot feel the difference between joy and sorrow, I continued taking my heart to that destination...]

Amazing song from the movie Hum Dono, sung by Md Rafi, and lyrics Sahir Ludhianvi.

Here’s the full song.

Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Main Udata Chala Gaya

Barbadiyon Ka Shok Manana Fizul Tha
Barbadiyon Ka Jashan Manata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Main Uda…

Jo Mil Gaya Usi Ko Muqaddar Samajh Liya
Jo Kho Gaya Main Usko Bhulata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Mein Uda…

Gham Aur Khushi Mein Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahan
Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Mein Uda…

Song from the movie masoom, the only song I have ever requested on a radio show. What better song to start the blog with.Lyricist: Gulzar

The words
“Jeenay kay liyeh, Socha hi nahi
Dard sambhaalnay hongay
Muskuraai to,
Muskuraan kay
Qarz utaarnay hongay”

I never thought, to “live” one needs to manage pain/sorrow.
If we ever smile, we may have to pay for our smile.

Such lyrics, hardly come by.. One of the gems.

Tujh se naraaz nahi zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Teray masoom sawaalo say
Paraishaan hoon main

Jeenay kay liyeh, Socha hi nahi
Dard sambhaalnay hongay
Muskuraai to,
Muskuraan kay
Qarz utaarnay hongay

Muskuraaon kabhi
To lagta haiy
Jaisay honto par
Qarz rakha haiy

Tujh se naraaz nahi zindagi
Hairaan hoon main

Zindagi teray
Gham nay humay
Rishtay naiy samjhaaiy

Milay jo humain
Dhoop may milay
Chaaoon kay thanday saaiye

Aaj agar
Bhar aaie haiy
Boondein baras jaaiy gee

Kal kya pata
Kin kay liyeh
Aankhein taras jaaingee

Jaanay kab gum hoya
Kahaan khoya
Ek aansoo chupa kay rakha tha

Tujh se naraaz nahi zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Teray masoom sawaalo say
Paraishaan hoon main
