Hum tere bin ab... kyon ki tum hi ho...

After I got a recommendation for the songs of Aashiqui 2 from Sayesha, I decided to give them a try and kind of got hooked to this one. I think it was the singing and music that attracted me to it. Arijit Singh's singing reminds me of Adnan Sami's for some reason, in a good way I think. The lyrics are not super impressive but fit in perfectly with the composition giving the song romantic vibe and makes it a fun song. At the end though, I still have to give it to the composer, Mithoon, for the world class music that makes the song what it is - fun to listen to on repeat mode! As always, the song had me wishing for more stanzas. I know I'm greedy, especially when it comes to good songs. :)


(hum tere bin ab reh nahin sakte
tere bina kya vajood mera) (2)
tujhse juda agar ho jaayenge
to khud se hi ho jaayenge juda

kyon ki tum hi ho
ab tum hi ho
zindagi ab tum hi ho
ho ho ho
chain bhi mera dard bhi
meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

(the music here is so awesome!)

tera mera rishta hai kaisa
ek pal door ganwara nahin
tere liye har roz hai jeete
tujhko diya mera waqt sabhi
koyi lamha mera na ho tere bina
har saans pe naam tera

kyon ki tum hi ho
ab tum hi ho
zindagi ab tum hi ho
ho ho ho
chain bhi mera dard bhi
meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

tum hi ho (2) (what awesome way has he sung this!!)

tere liye hi jeeya main
khud ko jo yoon de diya hai
teri wafa ne mujhko sambhaala
saare ghamon ko dil se nikaala
tere saath mera hai naseeb juda
tujhe paa ke adhoora na raha

hm hm
kyon ki tum hi ho
ab tum hi ho
zindagi ab tum hi ho
ho ho ho
chain bhi mera dard bhi
meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

kyon ki tum hi ho
ab tum hi ho
zindagi ab tum hi ho
ho ho ho
chain bhi mera dard bhi
meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Saagar ni chaadar... (Gujarati)

When we were kids mom used to sing this lullaby (haalaraDu) to us all the time. After growing up I found out that we weren't the only ones or even the first ones she sang this to. Atulmama, along with all other older cousins also got to hear the same song from her when they were kids. So when Sejalben found the audio clip of the song, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic about it and shared it, passing on the nostalgia to me and reminding me of this beautiful song after years. What awesome lyrics and music!! Best part is that the song is sung in the same sur/raag as the original one I have heard growing up. The lullaby was further personalized by singing the baby's name in place of "sooraj" when it was being sung and to whom it was being sung to. Some songs have special places in heart, this being one of them. :)


(kheele chhe jui tyaare tene gamatu re andhaare ey ey
saagar ni chaadar odhi ne sooraj jyaare poDhi jaay
bhaturiyaashaa taaraliya lai chandaa aabhe ramavaa jaay) (2)

kheele chhe jui tyaare tene gamatu re andhaare ey ey
saagar ni chaadar odhi ne

(Some amazing music plays here. Wish I knew who the music writer is)
