Dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam...

When I heard this song today while driving, first thing that caught my attention was the music and of course the beautiful lyrics. I have a feeling it's raag bhimpalasi. I could be totally wrong, but the way I have been wanting to listen to it over and over again says it's definitely classical and more so bhimpalasi based song. In any case, so then the evening was spent looking at the video of the song. It makes me want to watch this movie now.

What beautiful music Jatin-Lalit make and the lyrics go perfectly with the raag of the song. I am loving it!!


Mahima makes such a good actor for slow romantic songs. Reminds me of another song of hers, which I think I should post on here. Ajay Devgan looks handsome too I think and perfect to match Mahima's role.


F: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
oh dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
pyaar zinda humaara rahe
yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum
M: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
pyaar zinda humaara rahe
yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum
dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam

F: aarzoo yehi na bicchaDe kisi moD pe
raah mein kabhi na jaana mujhe chhoD ke
chaahenge hum yoon hi tum ko
hogi mohabbat na kam
M: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
pyaar zinda humaara rahe
yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum
F: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam

M: har khushi mile daaman mein dildaar ke
aadmi wohi ruke na kabhi haar ke
manzil manzil tum ko paaye
chume tumhaare kadam
F: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
pyaar zinda humaara rahe
yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum
M: dil yeh duaa de rahaa hai sanam
pyaar zinda humaara rahe
yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum
F: yahaan chaahe rahe na rahe hum

Apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do

As soon as the music started, I knew there was something different about this one. Something more appealing than the usual, something that made it different and more beautiful... instantly, google came to rescue and I was right! It is because it's Naushad sahab's composition. :) How can it not be different... and to top it, the beautiful words are penned by none other than Naqsh Lyalpuri. Just those two guarantee that it has to be gorgeous song and it indeed is.

The music reminds me of so many golden oldies as well as some new songs.


apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do
aaj roko na mujhe had se guzar jaane do
apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do

tum jo aaye to bahaaron pe shabaab aayaa hai
in nazaaron pe bhi halkaa saa nashaa chhaayaa hai
apni aankhon kaa nashaa aur bhi badh jaane do
apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do
aaj roko na mujhe had se guzar jaane do
apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do

sa ni dha pa pa ma
ga ma pa ni dha ni sa ni pa ga ma
ma pa re sa

surkh hothon pe gulaabon kaa gumaan hotaa hai
aisaa manzar ho jahaan hosh kahaan rehtaa hai
yeh haseen hoth mere hothon se mil jaane do
apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do
aaj roko na mujhe had se guzar jaane do

apni zulfen mere shaano pe bikhar jaane do
aaj roko na mujhe had se guzar jaane do

Dheere dheere se palken uthaana...

I discovered this song just randomly as it was sitting on my ipod being ignored. I saw Sonu and Shreya's names and realized I should've already listened to it. If you've never heard this one, don't watch the video, just listen to it. You'll totally fall in love with it. Just be warned that the video is bakwaas of sorts. The music is nice too.


M: dheere dheere se palken uthaana
dheere dheere se palken jhukaana
dheere dheere se dil ko churaana
dheere dheere se apnaa banaana
dheere dheere dheere (2)
yeh tum ne kya kar diya

F: dheere dheere se nazare milaana
dheere dheere se hum ko rijhaana
dheere dheere se dil mein samaana
dheere dheere se apnaa banaana
dheere dheere dheere (2)
yeh tum ne kya kar diya
aa aa.. aa aa aa..

M: roshan haseen chaand jaisa yeh chehra
us pe yeh zulfon ke baadal
F: lagtaa hai tum apni deewaangi se
kar doge hum ko bhi paagal
chhaane lagi hai madhoshiyaa
M: gaane lagi hai khaamoshiyaa
F: dheere dheere dheere (2)
yeh tum ne kya kar diya

M: dheere dheere se palken uthaana
dheere dheere se palken jhukaana
dheere dheere se dil ko churaana
dheere dheere se apnaa banaana

hey hey hey...

F: kya sochte ho kya dekhate ho
aaghosh mein hum ko bhar lo
M: yeh pal mohabbat yehi zindagi hai
hume pyaar jee bhar ke kar lo
dil tum ne maanga hum ne diya
F: jaan bhi tumhaari hai le lo piyaa
M: yeh tum ne kya keh diya
F: dheere dheere se nazare milaana
dheere dheere se hum ko rijhaana
dheere dheere se dil mein samaana
dheere dheere se apnaa banaana
dheere dheere dheere (2)
yeh tum ne kya kar diya
la la la la la la la la la la... hm hm hm hm..
la la la la la la...

Soona Soona Mann Ka Aangan

I simply adore the songs sung by these two singers.


M: soona soona mann ka aangan
dhoondhe payal ki woh chhann chhann
sooni sooni mann ki sargam
dhoondhe geet tere humdum

mann mein shaam ho ya savera
lagaa teri hi yaadon ka dera
toone bandhan kyon yeh toda
toone kaahe ko mooh moda
kaho na (3)

F: phool phool bhanwara dole
mann mein goonje teri yaad
baag mein papiha bole
pihu pihu piyu kahaan
aa aa aa

M: kaise kaate sooni raaten
kaho na (2)
kaise bhoole beeti baaten
kaho na (2)

kaise thaame phir tera daaman
kaise mehke mann ka yeh aangan
kaise bhoole preet teri saajan
kaise baandhe toota yeh bandhan

mann mein shaam ho ya savera
laga teri hi yaadon ka dera
toone bandhan kyon yeh toda
toone kaahe ko mu moda
kaho na (3)

F: phool phool bhanwara dole
mann mein goonje teri yaad
baag mein papiha bole
pihu pihu piyu kahaan

M: phool phool bhanwara dole
mann mein goonje teri yaad
baag mein papiha bole
pihu pihu piyu kahaan

Both: phool phool bhawara dole
mann mein goonje teri yaad
baag mein papiha bole
pihu pihu piyu kahaan

F: kaho na
hm hm hm
aa aa aa...

Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein

The first time I heard good things about songs of Zeher was when Heena said Nirmeshbhai was absolutely in love with the songs of this movie. I tried listening to it but gave up after listening to 15 seconds of one song and didn't like it, until I heard this one. After listening to this one I am a bigger fan of Anu Malik and not to mention a brand new fan of Atif Aslam's voice. Although his singing reminds me of Adnan Sami, I think he has quite a unique voice and it's clearly evident that he has had good classical training. I am also beginning to like the lyrics of Sayeed Quadri. And I wonder whether Shakeel Azmi is a relative of Kaifi Azmi...


hooo
hoooo hooo hooo hooo hooo
hooo hooo hoo hoo (2)

woh lamhe woh baatein
koi na jaane thi kaisi raatein
ho barsaatein
woh bheegi bheegi yaadein (2)
na main jaanoon na tu jaane

kaisa hai ye mausam koi na jaane
kahin se hai fizaa aayi ghamon ki dhoop sang laayi

khafaa ho gaye hum judaa hogaye hum

woh lamhe woh baatein
koi na jaane thi kaisi raatein
ho barsaatein
woh bheegi bheegi yaadein (2)
na main jaanoon na tu jaane

hoooo hoooo

saagar ki gehraayi se
gehra hai apna pyaar
sehraon ki inn hawaon mein
kaise aayegi bahaar
kahan se yeh hawa aayi
ghataayen kaali kyon chhaayi
khafaa ho gaye hum judaa ho gaye hum

woh lamhe woh baatein
koi na jaane thi kaisi raatein
ho barsaatein
woh bheegi bheegi yaadein (2)

hooo
hoooo hooo hooo hooo hooo
hooo hooo hoo hoo
aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaaaa
(this aalap is simply fantastic!)
