Kahin to.. kahin to hogi woh...

The song that totally grows on you. Got a chance to watch the movie once again today and I kept on going back to this one. So glad I went back to listen to it. The excitement of the film almost makes you miss it. Glad I didn't.


M: kahin to kahin to hogi woh
duniya jahaan tu mere saath hai
jahaan main jahaan tu aur jahaan
bas tere mere jazbaat hai

hogi jahaan subah teri
palkon ki kiranon mein
lori jahaan chaand ki
sune teri baahon mein

(jahaan na kahaan woh duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafaa nahin) (2)

F: saansen kho gayi hai kis ki aanhon mein
main kho gayi hoon jaane kis ki baahon mein
manzilon se raahe dhoondhti chali
aurkho gayi hai manzil kahin raahon mein

M: kahin to kahin to hai nashaa
teri meri har mulaqaat mein
hothon se hothon ko choomti
oh rehte hai hum har baat pe

kehti hai fiza jahaan
teri zameen aasmaan
jahaan hai tu meri haseen
meri khushi meri jaan

(jahaan na kahaan woh duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafaa nahin) (3)

Khwaaja Mere Khwaaja

I enjoy listening to sufi songs. This one of the recent ones that I like from Jodhaa Akbar. Music and spirituality are so intertwined, it's hard to separate one from the other. This one just proves so.


khwaajaa ji khwaajaa
khwaajaa ji (3)
ya gharib nawaaz (3)
ya moinuddin (3)
ya khwaajaa ji (5)

(khwaajaa mere khwaajaa dil mein samaa jaa
shaaho ka shaah tu ali kaa dulaaraa) (2)
khwaajaa mere khwaajaa dil mein samaa jaa (2)
beqaso ki taqdeer toone hai sanwaari
toone hai sanwaari
beqaso ki taqdeer toone hai sanwaari
hai sanwaari (3)
khwaajaa mere khwaajaa

tere darbaar mein khwaajaa door to hai dekhaa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa
tere darbaar mein khwaajaa sar jhukaate hai auliyaa
tu hai hindalwali khwaajaa rutbaa hai pyaaraa
chaahne se tujhko khwaajaa ji mustafaa ko paayaa
khwaajaa mere khwaajaa, khwaajaa, khwaajaa
dil mein samaa ja, samaa ja samaa ja
shaaho ka shaah tu ali ka dulaara

hmm mere peer kaa sadkaa (2)
hai mere peer kaa sadkaa teraa daaman hai thaamaa
khwaajaa ji
tali har balaa hamaari chhaaya hai khumaar teraa
jitna bhi rashk kare beshak to kam hai aye mere khwaajaa
tere kadmon ko mere rehnumaa nahin chhodnaa ganwaaraa
khwaajaa mere khwaajaa, khwaajaa, khwaajaa
dil mein samaa ja, samaa ja, samaa ja
shaaho ka shaah tu ali ka dulaara

khwaajaa mere khwaajaa, khwaajaa, khwaajaa
dil mein samaa ja, samaa ja samaa ja
shaaho ka shaah tu ali ka dulaara

khwaajaa mere khwaajaa (2) dil mein samaa jaa
khwaajaa mere khwaajaa (2)
dil mein samaa jaa (2)
beqaso ki taqdeer
toone hai sanwaari (2) sanwaari, sanwaari

beqaso ki taqdeer
toone hai sanwaari (2) sanwaari, sanwaari

khwaajaa mere khwaajaa (3)
shaaho ka shaah tu ali ka dulaara
khwaajaa ji... (8)

Khaamosh Raat Sehmi Hawaa

While listening to tum ho to of Rock On!! I was reminded of this one a lot. Can't believe it's been a few years since I listened to this one. One of my favorites to listen to, to lift up my spirits! It's so close to heart.


khaamosh raat sehmi hawaa
tanha tanha dil apna (2)
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra
yeh sach hai ya sapna (3)

khaamosh raat sehmi hawaa
tanha tanha dil apna (2)
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra
yeh sach hai ya sapna (2)

jhuki jhuki palken jab uthi
nainon mein diye maddham maddham
adh khule hothon se hansee
jhaank rahi maddham maddham
kaise kahaan phir ho gayee
us ki charee maddham maddham
pal pal uthati hasraten
hone lagi maddham maddham
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra

sooraj tha pe noor sa
us ki tanak maddham maddham
chaand bhi sa bujha bujha
taare bhi the maddham maddham
jugnu dilasa dene lage
nanhi si jaan maddham maddham
shamaa bhi thak haar ke
hone lagi maddham maddham
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra

(chorus)

jeene ka tha hum mein dam
par nahin tha koi humdum
khushiyon ki thi justaju
mil rahe the bas gham hi gham
shuru mein is duniya ke bhi
khaamoshi thi aur ek the hum
raahen sabhi thi sooni sooni
uth rahe the kadam tham tham
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra
yeh sach hai ya sapna (2)

khaamosh raat sehmi hawaa
tanha tanha dil apna (2)
aur door kahin roshan hua ek chehra ek chehra ek chehra
yeh sach hai ya sapna (2)

Man Mohana...

Happy Janmashtami to all!

Haathi Ghoda Paalki Jai Kanhaiyalaal Ki...

A beautiful bhajan on Shri Krishna from Jodha Akbar sung by Bela Shende.


man mohanaa (2)
kaanhaa suno naa aa aa aa aa
tum bin paaun kaise chainaa tarsu tumhi ko din rain
chhodke apne kaashi mathuraa (2)
aa ke basaao more nain tum bin paaun kaise chain
kaanhaa! tarsu tumhi ko din rain

ek pal ujiyaaraa aaye ek pal andhiyaaraa chhaaye
man kyon naa ghabraaye kaise naa ghabraaye

man jo koi dauraahaa apni raahon mein paaye
kaun dishaa jaye
tum bin kaun samjhaaye (2)

raas rachaiyaa brindaavan ke gokul ke baasi
raadhaa tumhri daasi darshan ko hai pyaasi
shaam salone nand laalaa krishnaa banwari
tumri chhab hai nyaari
main to hoon tan man haari (2)

man mohanaa (4)
kaanhaa suno naa aa aa
tum bin paaun kaise chain tarsu tumhi ko din rain

jeevan ek nadiyaa hai lehron lehron behti jaaye
is mein man ki naiyaa doobe kabhi tar jaaye
tum naa khewaiyaa ho to koi tat kaise paaye
majdhaar rehlaaye to tumri sharan aaye
haan tumri sharan aaye

main hoon tumhaari hai tumhara yeh meraa jeevan
tumko hi dekhon main dekhu koi darpan
bansi ban jaaungi in hothon ki ho jaaungi
in sapno se jalthal hai meraa man aangan
hai meraa hmm hmm hmm

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi...

Just came across this one on Aspi's Drift today. Nice catchy beat to the song and it's fun to watch it as well with the new faces. Well, not both of them as I've heard of Genelia's work in Bommarillu earlier, but it's a first one for Imran Khan who happens to be nephew of Aamir Khan and who I seriously think looks a lot like cousin of Daniel Radcliffe and/or Jugal Hansraj than the uncle himself.

Near the end, the song reminded me of aye udi udi udi from Saathiya (2002) that's sung by Adnan Sami and of course music by none other than Dilip himself meaning A. R. Rahman. Lyrics courtesy: Gulzar.

This too makes a fun song to listen to on a day you need to get an extra dose of caffeine.


kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yoon hi koi apna lagta hai
kabhi kabhi aditi woh bichhad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai
aise mein koi kaise apne aansuo ko behne se roke
aur kaise koi soch le everything's gonna be okay

kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi naa khushi aur naa mazaa
kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa
aise mein koi kaise muskuraye kaise hans de khush hoke
aur kaise koi soch de everything gonna be okay

soch zara jaaneja tujhko hum kitna chahte hai
rote hai hum bhi agar teri ankhon mein aansu aate hai
gaane to aata nahin hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hai
ke aditi maan kabhi kabhi saare jahan mein andhera hota hai
lekin raat ke baad hi to savera hota hai

kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yoon hi koi apna lagta hai
kabhi kabhi aditi wo bichhar jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai
hey aditi hans de hans de hans de hans de hans de hans de tu zara
nahin to bus thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura

tu khush hai to lage ke jahan mein chhaayi hai khushi
suraj nikle baadlon se aur baaTen zindagi
sun to zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi
ke aditi woh jo bichhadte hai ek na ek din phir mil jaate hai
aditi jaane tu ya jaane na phool phir khil jaate hai

kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yoon hi koi apna lagta hai
kabhi kabhi aditi woh bichhar jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai
(hey aditi hans de hans de hans de hans de hans de hans de tu zara
nahin to bus thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura) (5)
