Jiye to jiye kaise... bin aapke..

Having gotten a chance to meet Pankaj Udhas ji in person a couple of weekends back was super exciting not only for getting a chance to meet and get his autograph but also to listen to him sing! He didn't sing too many ghazals at the program that I was part of but got his DVD where he has sung various ghazals at Gateway of India in December 2011. And I got to listen to this song from Saajan. It took me back to the 90s once again.. what I loved the most about this was the aalaap he sang, that aren't in the film song. It just made me wish the song was longer, at least one more stanza would've been awesome. Until then, here's the non-filmy version of the beautiful ghazal penned by Sameer ji.


jiye to jiye kaise bin aap ke (2)
lagta nahin dil kahin bin aap ke
jiye to jiye kaise.. haaye.. bin aap ke

dekhke woh mujhe tera palken jhuka dena (2)
yaad bahot aaye tera muskura dena

dekhke woh mujhe tera palken jhuka dena
yaad bahot aaye tera muskura dena

kaise bhulaau woh saari baatein
woh meethi raatein woh mulakaate

jiye to jiye kaise.. haaye.. bin aap ke (2)

kaise kahoon bina tere zindagi yeh kya hogi (2)
jaise koyi sazaa koyi baddua hogi
kaise kahoon.. (aalap follows)
kaise kahoon kahoon..
kaise kahoon.. (2)
kaise kahoon (3) bina tere zindagi yeh kya hogi
jaise koyi sazaa koyi baddua hogi

maine kiya hai yeh faislaa
jeena nahin hai tere bina

jiye to jiye kaise.. haaye.. bin aap ke
jiye to jiye kaise bin aap ke
lagta nahin dil kahin bin aap ke
jiye to jiye kaise bin aap ke
haaye bin aap ke (2)

Mujhe neend na aaye.. mujhe chain na aaye...

One of those evergreen songs from the era when the actors and actresses were skinny and eyebrows were thicker and wearing big yellow plastic earrings was fashionable and music was nice and you can hear the tabla and flute and the cameras still stayed on actors' faces and there were no 1000+ dancers dancing behind the two of them. This one is no different and that's why it has special place in heart. The lyrics stuck and for good reason. This afternoon out of no where I started humming this one and I just had to listen to it and post it on here so that I can listen to it again on a repeat mode. :)

Golden songs of golden days! Love!

Madhuri's dance...

...mind-boggling!

Hum Aap Ke... Aap Ke Hai Kaun...

One of my favorite songs for the lyrics, singers, actors and the work of cameramen!

Salman Khan has eyes that could kill someone and Madhuri sang that song "maar dala" she was really talking about people who are watching her. Two of the best actors with THE BEST chemistry on screen... watch their eyes talking in this one more than the words.


M: hum aap ke hai kaun?

F: hum aap ke hai kaun?

(chorus)

M: bechain hai meri nazar
hai pyaar ka kaisa asar
na chup raho itna kaho
hum aap ke... aap ke hai kaun (2)

khud ko sanam roka badaa
aakhir mujhe kehna padaa
khwaabon mein tum aate ho kyon
hum aap ke... aap ke hai kaun (2)

F: bechain hai meri nazar
hai pyaar ka kaisa asar
hai hosh gum poochho na tum
hum aap ke... aap ke hai kaun (2)

kaise kahoon dil ki lagi
chehra mera padh lo kabhi
yeh sharm ki surakhi kahe
hum aap ke... aap ke hai kaun (2)

M: hum aap ke... aap ke hai kaun

Bahot Pyaar Karte Hai

Piano songs are beautiful! This one is mine and Papu's favorite. When the two of us are sitting together and listening to songs, this is almost always one of the ones he requests to play along with "chhupaana bhi nahin aata...".


Female:

bahot pyaar karte hai tumko sanam (2)
kasam chaahe le lo (2)
khuda ki kasam
bahot pyaar karte hai tumko sanam (2)

(some awesome sitar plays here)

hamaari ghazal hai tasavvur tumhaara (2) [pay attention to the tabla playing in the background]
tumhaare bina ab na jeena ganvaara (2)
tumhen yoon hi chaahenge (2)
jab tak hai dum
bahot pyaar karte hai tumko sanam (2)

saagar ki baahon mein maujen hai jitni (2)
hum ko bhi tumse mohabbat hai utni (2)
ke yeh beqaraari (2)
na ab hogi kam
bahot pyaar karte hai tumko sanam (2)
kasam chaahe le lo (2)
khuda ki kasam
bahot pyaar karte hai tumko sanam (2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Male:

bahot pyaar karte hai tum ko sanam (2)
kasam chaahe le lo (2)
khuda ki kasam
bahot pyaar karte hai tum ko sanam

hume har ghadi aarzoo hai tumhaari (2)
hoti hai kaisi sanam beqaraari
milenge jo tum ko to (2)
bataayenge hum

bahot pyaar karte hai tum ko sanam (2)
kasam chaahe le lo (2)
khuda ki kasam
bahot pyaar karte hai tum ko sanam (2)

hulchul hui... ishq hua hi hua

These days I am getting addicted to the duets of Shreya and Sonu. These guys are truly awesome! After a long time we've got a pair of singers in HFM that are defined by the quality singing they do. I adore their singing and all those aalaap and murkiya in this one. The lyrics are simple but the music is quite unique and upbeat, which makes the song even more fun to listen to.

This has been my most favorite recent song! Even watching the song is a treat as it doesn't include any of the four dozen dancers in glittery skimpy costumes dancing in back or the camera moving as if it was mounted on exploding volcano or a rocking boat. Konkona Sen Sharma looks simple and beautiful and Kunal Kapoor looks very handsome and the queen of Bollywood , Madhuri looks stunning... I think I will watch the film just for the sake of this song and for Mrs. Nene.



F: (hulchul hui zaraa shor huaa
dil chor huaa teri or huaa) (2)
aisi chale jab hawaa ishq huaa hi huaa (2)

M: (hulchul hui zaraa shor huaa
dil chor huaa teri or huaa) (2)
aisi chale jab hawaa ishq huaa hi huaa (2)
ishq huaa aa...
F: ishq huaa haaye...

M: palkon se honthon tak jo raah nikalti hai
F: guzare naa wahaan se yeh teri galati hai
M: ho palkon se honthon tak jo raah nikalti hai
F: ho rehte hai ab hum wahaan ishq huaa hi huaa
M: ho aisi chale jab hawaa ishq huaa hi huaa
hulchul hui zaraa shor huaa
dil chor huaa teri or huaa
F: ishq huaa

M: kadmon ko sambhaale nazron kaa kyaa karen
F: nazron ko sambhaale to dil kaa kyaa karen
M: ho kadmon ko sambhaale nazron kaa kyaa karen
F: ho dil ko sambhaale zubaan ishq huaa hi huaa
M: aisi chale jab hawaa ishq huaa hi huaa
hulchul hui
F: zaraa shor huaa
M: dil chor huaa
F: teri or huaa
hulchul hui
M: zaraa shor huaa
F: dil chor huaa
M: teri or huaa
F: ishq huaa (2)

M: पलकों से होंठों तक जो राह निकलती है
F: गुज़रे ना वहाँ से ये तेरी गलती है
M: हो पलकों से होंठों तक जो राह निकलती है
F: हो रेहते है अब हम वहाँ इश्क हुआ ही हुआ
M: हो ऐसी चले जब हवा इश्क हुआ ही हुआ
