Yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan...

Flute in the beginning when the plane flies makes every single hair on my body stand up with excitement and happiness that can not be described! I haven't been able to pick and choose my most favorite song from Veer Zaara and that's because most of them are my favorite ones. This one being one of them. It's so utterly beautiful in music, lyrics, and everything else including picturization.


M: lehraati hui raahen khole hue hai baahen
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: palkon pe gehre halke hai reshmi dhundhalke
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: woh dekho zara parbaton pe ghataayen
hamaari daastaan haule se sunaaye
F: suno to zara yeh phoolon ki waadi
hamaari hi koyi kahaani hai sunaati
M: sapnon ke is nagar mein
yaadon ki rehguzar mein
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

F: jo raahon mein hai rut ne sona bikhera
sunehra hua tera mera savera
M: zameen so gayi barf ki chaadaron mein
bas aag si jalti hai do dilon mein
F: hawaayen sarsaraaye badan kaamp jaaye
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: yeh barsaat bhi kab thame kaun jaane
F: tumhe mil gaye pyaar ke sau bahaane
M: sitaaron ki hai jaise baraat aayi
F: hamaare liye raat yoon jagmagaayi
M: sapne bhi jhilmilaaye
F: dil mein diye jalaaye
M: yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
Both: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

Maine use dekhaa hai...

I just found out that I am going to have a brand new bhabhi and I can't stop smiling... :D Congrats to dearest Dbhai & Jbhabhi-to-be! This song is for the two of you. May God bless you two with all the happiness there is. Love you both.

Many thanks to Seema at OnAirDilSe for playing this beautiful song today. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sounds so unique and marvelous... music reminds me of some old song, but I can't figure out which one.


phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai (4)
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (2)
maine use dekhaa hai

phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

baadalon se guzarte hue chaand ne chupke karte hue
us ke taaron se pehloo mein pichhale paher aankh malte hue
roshani ki taraf neemva khidkiyon se nikalte hue
baagon mein shehron ki galiyon mein
maine use dekhaa hai
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (2)
maine use dekhaa hai
phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

(this music sounds so familiar)

jab hawaa rukh badal ne yeh haal? mein ladkhadaane lage
dil ki kaliyon ke kaanon mein bhanwaraa koi geet gaane lage
aur jab khud bakhud dil mein ek aarzoo muskuraane lage
aise hi lamhon ki baahon mein
maine use dekhaa hai
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (4)
maine use dekhaa hai
phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

Audio song:

Dheere Dheere... Tum Paas Aa Rahe Ho

I had not listened to this one for the longest time until I got hold of the music of Veer Zaara. May be it's not in the film? I think because I haven't listened to it while watching the film numerous times... and it's not as famous may be because it has that ghazal touch to it. It's become one of my favorites of this film.


M: dheere dheere (2)
aankhon mein chhaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
F: chupke chupke (2)
dil mein samaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
M: dheere dheere
F: chupke chupke

M: jhukti hui yeh palken khulte hue yeh gesoo (2)
yeh sharm ki adaayen woh shokhiyon kaa jaadoo
F: kaise kaise (2)
sapne dikhaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
M: dheere dheere
F: chupke chupke

(don't forget to enjoy the most divine music here)

F: phoolon bhare nazaare yeh khushbuon ke dere (2)
lagte hai khwaab jaise yeh shaam yeh savere
M: haule haule (2)
armaan jagaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
F: chupke chupke
M: dheere dheere
aankhon mein chhaa rahe ho
F: tum paas aa rahe ho
M: aa haa haa haa ho ho ho
F: hmm la la la

Rafta Rafta Haule Haule...

One of favorite songs from this film. It's quite a playful song so it's fun watching it too.

Love the music by Vidyasagar and the singers' voices.

Kareena and Akshaye both look fantastic and are great actors.


M: rafta rafta haule haule

F: chori chori chupke chupke
jadoo jagaaya tumne

M: kabhi haan kabhi naa hum karte rahe
chupke aahe bhi bharte rahe

F: ta-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra
ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra
ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra raa

dil ko to pataa bhi chalaa

F: hm hm hm hm hm
raaton mein ab tera sapna mujhko aata hai haan
ek angdaayi ek bechaini de ke jaata hai

M: teri aankhon ka main deewaanaa hoon
tere hothon ka main paymaanaa hoon
tu yeh jaane na aa aa aa

F: ta-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra
ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra

(awesome music plays here)

M: is pehloo mein is daaman mein mujhko rehna hai
dard judaai ka ek pal bhi ab na sehna hai

F: meri yaadon mein jaan-e-jaan tu hai
meri saanson mein teri khushboo hai
tu hai meri jaan aa aa aa

F: ta-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra
ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra
ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra ra-ra-ra raa

M: rafta rafta haule haule
dil ko churaaya tumne
dil ko to pataa bhi chalaa

F: chori chori chupke chupke
jaadu chalaaya tumne
dil ko to pataa bhi chalaa

Tere Liye Hum Hai Jiye

This has been probably the most famous song of the film and the best one in a long long time. It is the kind of song that will sound more melodious as decades pass.

We were all listening to all of these Veer Zaara songs together. That's when I asked Papu whether he liked this one the best and he said no. He likes "do pal ruka khwaabon ka caravan..." better. I too like that one a lot, but for me both of these song come at number one. Then again I am more partial towards Sonu's singing in "do pal". While we were talking I said that Roop Kumar Rathod has also done a fantastic job in singing (Lataji's singing is out of the question here) and he's probably the best choice, but to my surprise he disagreed. So then I asked who he thought could have done a better justice to the song. His said Kishore Kumar. I was quite surprised at that. :) I thought he'd have said Rafi but he didn't. It's not that I don't like Kishore Kumar but I haven't heard that many songs of him while growing up and since at home we had more music of Rafi sahab, I ended up listening to that only, and that "growing up" part has deeper connection so I tend to listen to those songs more often than any other ones.

After that chit-chat I shared my wild ideas with everyone about how I wished there was a gadget that would let us put in a voice of a person somehow and out comes a different song that we want any song that we want (depending upon the input parameters, of course) in that singer's voice. Aaah! what a miracle that would be. The answer I got was "if you can think of it, may be some day it will exist". I wish a gadget like that comes to existence someday... :D

As for this song, the less we say the better. It can't be said actually, I feel.


M: tere liye hum hai jiye honthon ko siye
F: tere liye hum hai jiye har aansoo piye
M: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye
tere liye (2)

F: tere liye hum hai jiye har aansoo piye
M: tere liye hum hai jiye honthon ko siye
F: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye
tere liye (2)

F: aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa

M: zindagi le ke aayi hai beete dinon ki kitaab (2)
ghere hai ab hume yaaden behisaab
F: bin poochhe mile mujhe itne saare ja3aab
chaaha tha kya paaya hai kya humne dekhiye
M: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye
tere liye (2)

F: kya kahoon duniya ne kiya mujhse kaisa bair (2)
hukum ka main jiyun lekin tere bagair
M: naadaan hai woh kehte hai jo mere liye tum ho gair
kitne sitam hum pe sanam logon ne kiye
F: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye
tere liye (2)

M: tere liye hum hai jiye honthon ko siye
F: tere liye hum hai jiye har aansoo piye
Both: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye
tere liye (2)

M: tere liye
F: tere liye

M: tere liye
F: tere liye

Dharti Sunehri Ambar Neela... Aisa Des Hai Mera

For today being 61st Independence day of India, here's a song of recent times that truly describes her.


ho ho ho ho ho ho
ambar hethaan dharti vasdi ethe har rut hasdi ho ho ho
kinna sona
des hai mera (3)
kinna sona
des hai mera (4)

M: dharti sunehri ambar neela ho ho
dharti sunehri ambar neela har mausam rangeela
aisa des hai mera ho
aisa des hai mera (2)
haan aisa des hai mera

aisa des hai mera (2)
haan aisa des hai mera

F: oh kothhe te kaan bole aayi chitthi mere maahiye di
vich aane da vi na bole oye chitthi mere maahiye di

M: genhoo ke kheton mein kanghi jo kare hawaayen
rang birangi kitni chunariyaan ud ud jaayen
panghat par panhaaran jab gagri bharne aaye
madhur madhur taanon mein kahin bansi koyi bajaaye
lo sun lo
qadam qadam pe hai mil jaani (2)
koyi prem kahaani
aisa des hai mera ho
aisa des hai mera (2)
haan aisa des hai mera

ho ho ho
hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy

M: oh meri jugni de dhaage pakke jugni os de moonh toh fabbe
jinu sat ishq di lagge oy saanyi mereya oh jugni
veer mereya jugni kendi aye oh naam saayin da lendi aye
hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
oh dil kad litaa ee jind meriye

M: baap ke kandhe chadh ke jahaan bacche dekhe mele
melon mein nat ke tamaashe kulfi ke chaat ke tthele
kahin milti meethhi goli kahin chooran ki hai pudiya
bhole bhole bacche hai jaise gudde aur gudiya
aur in ko roz sunaaye daadi naani ho
roz sunaaye daadi naani ek pariyon ki kahaani
aisa des hai mera ho
aisa des hai mera (2)
haan aisa des hai mera

F: sadke sadke jaandi aye mutiyaare ni
kanda chuba tere pair baankiye naare ni
oy ni adiye kanda chuba tere pair baankiye naare ni
kaun kade tera kaandra mutiyaare ni
kaun sahe teri peed baankiye naare ni
oy, ni adiye kaun sahe teri peed baankiye naare ni

M: ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
mere des mein mehmaanon ko bhagwaan kahaa jaata hai
woh yahin ka ho jaata hai jo kahin se bhi aata hai

F: aa aa aa aa
tere des ko maine dekha tere des ko maine jaana
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
tere des ko maine dekha tere des ko maine jaana
jaane kyun yeh lagta hai mujhko jaana pehchaana
yahaan bhi wahin shaam hai wahin savera ho ho
wohi shaam hai wohi savera
aisa hi des hai mera jaisa des hai tera
waisa des hai tera haan jaisa des hai tera

M: aisa des hai mera ho jaisa des hai tera
F: aisa des hai mera haan jaisa des hai tera
M: aisa des hai mera haan
F: waisa des hai mera

Goonji si hai saari fiza.... aao na...

While creating the music for this song, the music directors demonstrated the tunes and music of the song, but Samir Karnik, the director didn't want any part of it.

Then they asked him to listen to it while slowly driving on an empty road in the hills with the car windows rolled down to get the true feeling of the song... he it and just couldn't help but add the song to the collection. :)

तन मन में क्यों ऐसे बेहती हुई
