Sansaar Hai Ek Nadiya

I kept on wondering what it was about this song that attracted me to it, made me want to listen to it again and again. It was that same raag Shivranjani. What a beautiful raag it is!!!


M: aa aa aa
(sansaar hai ek nadiyaa dukh sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai) (2)
sansaar hai ek nadiyaa

chalte hue jeevan ki raftaar mein ek lay hai (2)
ek raag mein ek sur mein sansaar ki har shay hai
sansaar ki har shay hai
ek taar pe gardish mein yeh chaand sitaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
hum behte dhaare hai (2)

F: sansaar hai ek nadiyaa dukh sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ek nadiyaa

(familiar music plays here)

dharti pe ambar ki aankhon se barasti hai (2)
ek roz yehi boonden phir baadal banti hai
phir baadal banti hai
is ban ne bigadne ke dastoor mein saare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ek nadiyaa

koi bhi kisi ke liye apna na paraya hai (2)
rishton ke ujaale mein har aadmi saaya hai
har aadmi saaya hai
kudrat ke bhi dekho to yeh khel niraale hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ek nadiyaa

(here the violins reminds me of jaane kahan gaye woh din)

M: hai kaun woh duniya mein na paap kiya jis ne (2)
bin ulje kaanton se hai phool chune kis ne
hai phool chune kis ne
bedaag nahin koi yahaan paapi saare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
sansaar hai ek nadiyaa dukh sukh do kinaare hai
na jaane kahaan jaaye hum behte dhaare hai
hum behte dhaare hai (2)

Raam Tu Sab Ka Rakhwala

A bhajan I heard on Rafi Ka Jaadoo recordings.


raam tu sab ka rakhwala (2)
jab jab bhi yeh man ghabraya (2)
toone ?? sambhala
ho raam tu sab ka rakhwala

soone aangan dwaar sajaa de (2)
humri bigdi baat banaa de
muskaane waapas lauta de
lene wala tu na kehla (2)
tu hai dene wala
ho raam tu sab ka rakhwala
raam tu sab ka rakhwala

ho ho ho
aa aa aa

yeh vishwaas ki jyot jagaaye (2)
hum tere mandir mein aaye
aas ka deepak toot na jaaye
yeh andhiyaari rain churaa ke (2)
le na jaaye ujaala
ho raam tu sab ka rakhwala
jab jab bhi yeh man ghabraya (2)
toone ?? sambhala
raam tu sab ka rakhwala (2)

Dil Ne Tum Ko

One of my favorite ones of Vishal-Shekhar since last year when I first heard it on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007...


(dil ne tum ko chun liya hai
tum bhi is ko chuno na
khwaab koi dekhta hai
tum bhi sapne buno na) (2)
dil yeh mera tumse kuch keh raha hai suno na (2)

(door ho kar bhi door tum nahin ho
paas ho lekin paas kyon nahin ho) (2)
tanha tanha samaa mehki mehki hawaa
keh rahaa hai jahaan jo suno na
dil ne tum ko chun liya hai
tum bhi is ko chuno na
khwaab koi dekhta hai
tum bhi sapne buno na
dil yeh mera tumse kuch keh raha hai suno na (2)

(dekhlo mausam kitna suhaana hai
pyaar karne ka yeh koi bahaana hai) (2)
muskuraati fizaa gungunaati hawaa
keh rahaa hai jahaan jo suno na
dil ne tum ko chun liya hai
tum bhi is ko chuno na
khwaab koi dekhta hai
tum bhi saapne buno na
dil yeh mera tumse kuch keh raha hai suno na (2)
suno na

Wafaa Ke Deep Jalaaye... Sau Baar Janam Lenge

I still remember the first time I had heard this one years ago with Papu we were listening to Rafi songs in our collection as usual.

Thanks to Pradeep & Priya for all those "Rafi Ka Jaadu" programs. I've been listening to the old recordings from 2004. Listened to this one again on one of the clips. The music and Rafi sahab's voice is out of the world. As Pradeep would say, his voice is sweet as honey.

And today, while searching for the video of it, I got to listen to the couplet in the beginning of the song. What emotional words penned by Asad Bhopali. Love the waterfalls, river, trees. Such sharp features Shakila has, gorgeous!


wafaa ke deep jalaaye hue nigaahon mein
bhatak rahi ho bhala kyon udaas raahon mein
tumhe khayaal hai tum mujhse door ho lekin
main saamne hoon chali aao meri baahon mein

sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge
aye jaan-e-wafaa phir bhi hum tum na juda honge
sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

kismat hume milne se rokegi bhalaa kab tak
in pyaar ki raahon mein bhatkegi wafaa kab tak
kadmon ke nishaan khud hi manzil ka pataa honge
sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

yeh kaisi udaasi hai jo husn pe chhaai hai
hum door nahin tum se kehne ko judaai hai
armaan bhare do dil phir ek jagaah honge
sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge
aye jaan-e-wafaa phir bhi hum tum na juda honge
sau baar janam lenge sau baar fanaa honge

Nathaniyaa Haale To Badaa Mazaa Hoye

I tried very hard to get a video of this one, but it's no where to be found. One of the most hilarious songs I've ever heard/watched. Even the lyrics are so funny. I had quite a hard time understanding some of the words so you'll see some ridiculous ones in there but that's what I've heard. If you can catch the correct ones, do share.

This is a must watch movie and a must watch song, if you do get a chance that is. I've forgotten the movie and vaguely remember the song but do know that it's definitely worth a listen. I've added the esnips link to the audio for your listening. Enjoy!


aa aa
yeh kaun aaj aaya andhere andhere
udhar bhi lootere idhar bhi 'hehehe' lootere
ho pataa yeh chalegaa savere savere
khule bhaag kis ke bari tere ke mere

nathaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye
nathaniya
haaye nathaniya
wadi nathaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye
nathaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye

lakhpati dulhe ki main
lakhpati dulhaniyaan (2)
aur bhi sajaa lo wadi gehno se sajaniyan
gehno se sajaniyan
paato? kamariyaa pe haaye
paato? kamariyaa pe
heere ki sajaniyan
kamariyaa
wadi sadanli
kamariyaa chaale to badaa mazaa hoye (2)

achha hua dafaa hua mora pehla saiyaan
mora pehla saiyaan
nahin kab?? kaise leta
gori ki balaiyaa (2)
dekh pighla doon?? main to
thumak thumak chhaiyan
panjaniya
panjaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye
nathaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye

maar diya hai maine aankhon ke salaam se
aankhon ke salaam se
aisa diya jaam maine
gaye piya kaam se
gaye wadi kaam se
dagmagaaye ladkhadaaye (2)
pehle hi jaam se
gardaniyaa (hic)
gardaniyaa haale to badaa mazaa hoye (2)

kisi ko na mili aisi
naach dil-o-gaai re (2)
dil mera saaf loota
toone o harjaai re (2)
tujhe bhi dikhaaye koi haaye
tujhe bhi dikhaaye koi haath ki safaai re
daaku pe daka
daaku pe daka daale to badaa mazaa hoye (2)
nathaniya haale to badaa mazaa hoye (2)

Mi Raat Taakali (Marathi)

I had heard this one a few years ago and instantly fell in love with it. Of course for Lataji's voice mainly and the way it sounded. I didn't understand a single word of it but just the feelings conveyed in the way it was sung. Today, while listening to phulale re kshana maaze, I recalled this one and googled for it only to fine the amazing video of it. It was great fun watching young Smita Patil - she looks so very beautiful. The song has captions so it made me understand the meaning of the lyrics too. Do give it a listen.

Khilte Hai Gul Yahaan

Been listening to this since a few weeks actually, for of course no one else but Shashi Kapoor and actually I like Kishore Kumar's singing too and while I was at it I realized even the Lata version is beautiful, but for now we only talk about this one because it has Shashi Kapoor.

Notice SK at/in the following scenes: the humming at the beginning of the song, the way he removes the flower from her hair, the way he smiles and blinks his dreamy eyes while doing so, those mile-wide lips, yet again the smile, how his face glows in the light of fire, the way he serves the tea (as if it were cups full of love aah! pure heaven) *drool* the eyelashes and the smile and *DROOL* I need a bib; oh did I mention the smile? yup, that is to die for.

the way he turns his hand at 1:34

at 1:43 fat girl with blue jacket is so blinded by him she starts drinking tea with both hands, but then again, who wouldn't!? :P

watch him from 2:08 to 2:23

then again from 2:39 to 2:45

and at 2:54 (damn!)

and boy! from 3:05 to 4:05 for like whole minute the camera doesn't move away from HIS face (sheer bliss). Awwwww my knees have melted and disappeared somewhere by now.




Once you come back to reality, here are the lyrics:

hm hm hm hm

khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko (2)
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(kal rahe naa rahe mausam yeh pyaar kaa
kal ruke naa ruke dolaa bahaar kaa) (2)
chaar pal mile jo aaj pyaar mein guzaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho aa

(jheelon ke hothon par meghon kaa raag hai
phoolon ke seene mein thandi thandi aag hai) (2)
dil ke aaine mein yen tu samaa utaar le
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(pyaasaa hai dil sanam pyaasi yeh raat hai
hothon mein dabi dabi koi meethi baat hai) (2)
in lamho pe aaj tu har khushi nisaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

F:
aa aa aa aa aa aa ho ho ho ho

khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(kal rahe naa rahe mausam yeh pyaar kaa
kal ruke naa ruke dolaa bahaar kaa) (2)
chaar pal mile jo aaj pyaar mein guzaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho aa

ho jheelon ke hothon par
jheelon ke hothon par meghon kaa raag hai
phoolon ke seene mein thandi thandi aag hai
dil ke aaine mein yen tu samaa utaar le
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(pyaasaa hai dil sanam pyaasi yeh raat hai
hothon mein dabi dabi koi meethi baat hai) (2)
in lamho pe aaj tu har khushi nisaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

Tere Bin Soone

If not the actual song itself, you've probably heard the beginning aalap of this song in a Lata Mangeshkar interview somewhere.

I didn't know of this song until recently but as soon as I did, I almost fell in love with the music and the slowness of it. Ashok Kumar looks almost different in that getup, and Asha Parekh as beautiful as ever. Music is quite slow and touches your heart. The singers have seemingly poured out their heart with their words. Do check it out. The video has an extra stanza than my audio track so I loved watching it as well.

Don't know what raag this is based on but I am almost certain it is based on one.


M: tere bin soone (2)
nain humaare
tere bin soone
baat takat gaye saanj sakhaare haaye
tere bin soone nain humaare
tere bin soone

ho
raat jo aaye dhal jaaye pyaasi (2)
din kaa hai dujaa naam udaasi
neendiyaan naa aaye (2)
ab mere dwaare
tere bin soone nain humaare
tere bin soone

ho
jag mein rahaa main jag se paraayaa (2)
saayaa bhi meraa mere paas na aayaa
hansne ke din bhi (2)
ro ke guzaare
tere bin soone nain humaare
tere bin soone
baat takat gaye saanj sakhaare haaye
tere bin soone

F: hmm hmm hmm
ho ho ho
oh andekhe oh anjaane (2)
chhup ke naa gaa yeh prem taraane
kaun hai tu mohe (2)
kuchh to bataa re
tere bin soone nayan humaare
tere bin soone
baat takat gaye saanj sakhaare
tere bin soone
