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

Bin Tere Sanam...

This time in India, I got to listen to so many of my favorite songs from the 90s that I almost felt like I was taken back to my teenage years. Thanks to Sbhai, for still keeping them all on his lappy... I not only got to listen to them but watch them too! I can't stop humming my favorite ones from back then and this one is one of them. Silly actors but what fun song it is.. oh my! I love it. The music, singing and lyrics.. all of them.


F: aa... aa aa aa aa aa..
M: hey hey hey.. hey.. hey hey hey.. aa ha
hey hey hey hey hey
F: aa aa aa.. aa.. aa aa aa aa..

M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi (2)
F: aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi (2)

M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho..
aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi (2)

M: (tere hi dam se hogi dil ki muraad poori
tere bagair jaanam hai zindagi adhoori) (2)
aye mere haseen ab na ja kahin aa meri zindagi
F: aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

F: (yeh jaan kar balam ji thaami hai teri baahen
sehni padegi sab ki kaanton bhari nigaahen) (2)
M: sab sahenge hum aur hasenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho ho ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

M: aa aa aa.. aa aa aa aa..
tum ho mere to ab hai mausam ghulaam apna
F: shabnam ne likh diya hai phoolon pe naam apna
M: tum ho mere to ab hai mausam ghulaam apna
F: ho.. shabnam ne likh diya hai phoolon pe naam apna

M: sun hawaa yehi geet ga rahi aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

Old wine in new bottle

Dhadakta hai dil mera...

I've always been a fan of Anu Malik's music, regardless of how cheesy it gets. I enjoy listening to it. This one I just discovered recently. Can't believe I hadn't listened to it all these years despite of being such a huge fan of this film. It's one of those cute romantic melodies that you just feel like listening to when you get bored of listening to all those famous, evergreen, hit songs. And yet again I fall in love with Kavita K's voice!


M: धड़कता है दील मेरा कहो तो सुनाऊ
F: सूनुंगी कभी सनम अभी तो मैं जाऊ
M: अरे ए ये क्या कहा तुमने
F: अरे ए वोही जो सुना तुमने

M: ये भी कोई वक्त है जानम कहीं जाने का
F: मुझे जाने दोगे या शोर मैं मचाऊ
M: कहो तो बस एक बार बाहों में उठाऊ
F: अरे ए ये क्या कहा तुमने
M: अरे ए वोही जो सुना तुमने
F: ये भी कोई वक्त है बाहों में आने का

M: हाये धड़कता है दील मेरा कहो तो सुनाऊ
F: हो सूनुंगी कभी सनम अभी तो मैं जाऊ
M: अरे ए

M: दील ये दीवाना तेरा मस्ताना मेरा तो न ज़ोर चले
F: लेके कहीं जनम पहोचोगे सनम इन बाहों के तले
M: दूर नहीं वो दिन भी तेरी बाहों में आने का
F: जो भी होगा देखूंगी अभी तो मैं जाऊ
M: हे धड़कता है दील मेरा कहो तो सुनाऊ
F: हाँ सूनुंगी कभी सनम अभी तो मैं जाऊ
M: अरे ए

F: इतना भी जाना गले ना लगना के हो जाए कोई खता
M: प्यार करना भी क्या कोई खता है जान-ऐ-मन तू ही बता
F: येही तो सनम कहते है हम पर तू ही माने ना
M: मार डालेगी मुझे तेरी जा?
F: अच्छा बाबा मान गई अभी तो मैं जाऊ
M: अरे ए ये क्या कहा तुमने
F: अरे ए वोही जो सुना तुमने
M: ये भी कोई वक्त है जानम कहीं जाने का
