Tohre naina bade.. dagaabaaz re..

I love new songs like these that leave me wanting to listen to the songs again even after the movie is over. Very few new movies actually do that trick, and Dabangg 2 is definitely one of them. I think the singers and music have something to do with this feeling. Greedy me wants one more stanza in this one too. If only the lyricist was generous and bathroom breaks lasted longer. Hahaha.. do people still take bathroom breaks in Indian movie theaters when songs come up? I wonder. That reminds me of the scene from Golmaal (1979) when Helen's "mungda" song plays and Ramprasad is out changing clothes from work clothes to evening clothes in movie theater bathroom.

Back to our song: doesn't the music here remind you of music of abhi na jaao chhod kar, especially the ending part of the old song?

dagaabaaz re haaye dagaabaaz re
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re
ho tohre naina... haaye
naina naina naina... haaye

("abhi na jaao" kind of music plays here)

dagaabaaz re haaye dagaabaaz re
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re
kal mile.. haan kal mile hoye
yeh hum ko bhool gaye aaj re haaye
dagaabaaz re haaye dagaabaaz re
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re

(this music reminds me of yet another Hindi film oldie, can't recall it though; love the harmonium here!)

kaahe khafaa aise chulbul se bulbul
kaahe na tu maane batiyaan haaye
F: kaahe padaa peechhe jaan pe bairi
na jaanu kyaa tori batiyaan haaye
M: zindagi apni hum tohka daan dai de
muskuraa ke jo maange praan dai de
kal mile.. ho kal mile... haaye
kal mile bhi hum ko bhool gaye aaj re
haaye dagaabaaz re (2)
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re
tohre naina
dagaa (3)
dagaabaaz re
re dagaabaaz re
naina re

(dartaa jahaan hum se hum to usse darte
ih sab jaane mori raniyaa haaye) (2)
F: maskaa lagaao na chhodo ji chhodo
samajhti hai tori dhaniyaa haaye
M: is adaa pe to hum qubaan gaye ji
tohri naanaa main hum hi hai jaan gaye ji
kal mile... ho kal mile haaye
kal mile re hum ka bhul gaye aaj re
dagaabaaz re (2)
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re
dagaabaaz (3) re haaye
tohre naina bade dagaabaaz re

Video song:

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)

Mere Rang Mein...

(mere rang mein rangne waali
pari ho ya ho pariyon ki raani
ya ho meri prem kahaani
mere sawaalon ka jawaab do
do na) (2)

(chorus)

(bolo na kyon yeh chaand sitaare
takte hai yooh mukhade ko tumhaare) (2)
chhuke badan ko hawaa kyon mehki
raat bhi hai kyon behki behki
mere sawaalon ka jawaab do
do na

kyon ho tum sharmaayi hui si
lagti ho kuchh ghabaraayi hui si

ho kyon ho tum sharmaayi hui si
lagti ho kuchh ghabaraayi hui si

dhalka hua sa aanchal kyon hai
yeh mere dil mein hulchul kyon hai
mere sawaalon ka jawaab do
do na

dono taraf benaam si uljhan
jaise mile ho dulha-dulhan

aa ha ha ha ha

dono taraf benaam si uljhan
jaise mile ho dulha-dulhan

dono ki aisi haalat kyon hai
aakhir itni mohabbat kyon hai
mere sawaalon ka jawaab do
do na

mere rang mein rangne waali
pari ho ya ho pariyon ki raani
ya ho meri prem kahaani
mere sawaalon ka jawaab do

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

Kahe Tohse Sajnaa...Pug Pug Liye Jaau

kahe tohse sajna
kahe tohse sajna yeh tohri sajaniyaan

magan apni dhoon mein rahe more saiyaan

badariyaa si barsoon ghataa banke chhaau

main jag ki koyi reet na jaanu

ho main jag ki koyi reet na jaanu
maang ka tohe sindoor maanu
tu hi choodiyaan mori tu hi kalaiyaan
pug pug liye jaau tohri balaiyaan main
pug pug liye jaau tohri balaiyaan

mohe laage pyaare sabhi rang piya re
mohe laage pyaare
ho mohe laage pyaare sabhi rang piya re
dukh sukh mein har pal rahoon sang piya re
dardava ko baate umar larkaiyaan
ho pug pug liye jaau tohri balaiyaan

kahe tohse sajna yeh tohri sajaniya
pug pug liye jaau tohri balaiyaan main
pug pug liye jaau tohri balaiyaan (3)
