Mohabbat Aisi Dhadkan Hai

Does it happen with you that you hear a song somewhere that you've never listened to before and then it just stays in your memory until you actually make an attempt to listen to it? This is one of those songs. I have no idea where I heard it first but it just got imprinted in memory... until today. One of the oldies by Lata ji where she sounds so different than her usual self. I guess this was the time when singers like Shamshad Begum ruled the HFM and everyone tried to be like that. I do like her as well but just something I noticed that how Lata ji changed her style of singing with time and I am glad she did.

Yet again I become a fan of Hasrat ji's lyrics, they're so beautiful and same with C. Ramchandra's music. Lovely song that is created by the hard work of all of these artists and many more behind the screen.


is intazaar-e-shauq ko jalvo ki aas hai
ek shamma jal rahi hai so aisi udaas hai

mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai
jo samjhaayi nahin jaati (2)
zubaan par dil ki bechaini
kabhi laayi nahin jaati (2)
mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai

chale aao chale aao taqaaza hai nigaahon ka (2)
taqaaza hai nigaahon ka
kisi ki aarzoo aise
to thukaraayi nahin jaati (2)
mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai
jo samajhaai nahin jaati (2)
mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai

mere dil ne bichhaaye hai sajde aaj raahon mein (2)
sajde aaj raahon mein
jo haalat aashiqi ki hai
woh batlaayi nahin jaati (2)
mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai
jo samjhaayi nahin jaati (2)
mohabbat aisi dhadkan hai

Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai

After listening to this song again today, I feel these people must come from some other divine world.

I don’t have words to describe this song - the voice, the music, the emotions, the instruments playing, the words.

It is when I listen to songs like this I want to thank God for this life, for giving me an ability to understand the emotions conveyed by these songs, and for making me exist on this earth in the times when these people exist. I feel so blessed.


aa aa aa aa

(yeh zindagi usi ki hai jo kisi kaa ho gayaa
pyaar hi mein kho gayaa) (2)
yeh zindagi usi ki hai

(yeh bahaar yeh samaa keh rahaa hai pyaar kar
kisi ki aarzoo mein apne dil ko bekraar kar) (2)
zindagi hai bewafaa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
zindagi hai bewafaa loot pyaar kaa mazaa
yeh zindagi usi ki hai jo kisi kaa ho gayaa
pyaar hi mein kho gayaa
yeh zindagi usi ki hai

dhadak rahaa hai dil to kyaa dil ki dhadakane naa gin (2)
phir kahaa yeh fursate phir kahaan yeh raat din
aa rahi hai yeh sadaa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa rahi hai yeh sadaa mastiyon mein doob jaa
yeh zindagi usi ki hai jo kisi kaa ho gayaa
pyaar hi mein kho gayaa
yeh zindagi usi ki hai
