Suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen...

If it registers in your mind and you realize it and appreciate it. Say it or at least enjoy it while it lasts. Not many can do that.

Ch: aa aa aa..

M: suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen
hume dar hai hum kho na jaaye kahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen

(yeh kaun hansta hai phoolon mein chhup kar
bahaar bechain hai kis ki dhun par) (2)
kahin gungun kahin runjhun ke jaise naache zameen
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen
hume dar hai hum kho na jaaye kahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen

(yeh gori nadiyon ka chalna uchhalkar
ke jaise alhad chale pee se mil kar) (2)
pyaare pyaare yeh nazaare nikhaar hai har kahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen (2)
hume dar hai hum kho na jaaye kahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen

oh ho ho (2)
ho..

woh aasmaan jhuk rahaa hai zameen par (2)
yeh milan humne dekha yahin par

woh aasmaan jhuk rahaa hai zameen par
yeh milan humne dekha yahin par
meri duniya mere sapne milenge shaayad yahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen (2)
hume dar hai hum kho na jaaye kahin
suhaana safar aur yeh mausam haseen

Panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke..

Would you believe that this song actually came out 13 years ago? Yes, indeed! And it just feels like yesterday that I listened to it for the first time and went crazy for Sonu Nigam's singing. What a beautifully sung song and what gorgeous music... it is one of those movies with quality music and songs that remains fresh in your heart and you actually remember every single word of the song because it was worth it. Anu Malik's evergreen music and Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik's singing take the cake. Not to forget so very young and so simple as in almost bling-free and still beautiful Abhishek and Kareena and the acting that earned them accolades.

Wishing everyone a very happy new year 2013!

M: uparwaale ne apni mohabbat ke sadke mein
hum sab ke liye yeh dharti banaayi thi
par mohabbat ke dushmanon ne iss par lakeeren kheech ke
sarhaden banaa dee

main jaanta hoon woh log tumhe is paar nahin aane denge
magar yeh pawan jo tumhaare yahaan se ho kar aayi hai
tumhe chhu kar aayi hogi
main isse saans banaa kar apne seene mein bhar loonga

F: yeh nadiyaa jis par jhuk kar tum paani piya karte ho
main iss pe paani se apne pyaase hothon ko bheego loongi
samjhoongi tumhaare hothon ko chhu liya

M: panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke koyi sarhad na inhe roke (2)
sarhaden insaanon ke liye hai
socho tumne aur maine kya paaya insaan ho ke

F: panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke koyi sarhad na inhe roke
sarhaden insaanon ke liye hai
socho tumne aur maine kya paaya insaan ho ke

(chorus)

[I think they're playing some amazing maaN here]

M: jo hum dono panchhi hote
tairte hum iss neel gagan mein pankh pasaare

F: saari dharti apni hoti
apne hote saare nazaare

M: khuli fizaaon mein udate (2)
apne dilon mein hum saara pyaar sang?

F: panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke koyi sarhad na inhe roke
M: sarhaden insaanon ke liye hai
socho tumne aur maine kya paaya insaan ho ke [absolutely love the way he sings 'maine']

[what divine flute plays here!]

F: jo main hoti nadiyaa aur tum pawan ke jhoke to kya hota
ho jo main hoti nadiyaa aur tum pawan ke jhoke to kya hota

M: pawan ke jhoke nadi ke tan ko jab chhute hai (2)
lehren hi lehren banti hai
hum dono jab milte to kuchh aisa hota

F: sab kehte yeh leher leher jahaan bhi jaaye inko na koyi toke

M: panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke koyi sarhad na inhe roke
F: sarhaden insaanon ke liye hai
socho tumne aur maine kya paaya insaan ho ke

M: panchhi nadiyaa pawan ke jhoke koyi sarhad na inhe roke

Video song:

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)

Maine.. tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune...

Rajesh Khanna. I think the name and I see this person who is loved by all. Or at least that's how I want to see him. It's been three days since he's gone but he lives in his songs, in his films, in his fans, in the people who loved him. For me, he'd always be this hero who stole my heart without me knowing about it. He didn't even do anything but just look. That's who he is. Been thinking about him and listening to his songs and this is the one that summarizes him. Kaka, you've been a legend and will always be remembered so fondly. May you continue to create magic with your eyes wherever you are. God bless you.

maine
tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(chhoti baatein
chhoti chhoti baaton ki hai yaaden badi
bhule nahin beeti hui ek chhodi ghadi) (2)
janam janam se aankhen bichaayi
tere liye in raahon mein
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(bhole bhaale
bhole bhaale dil ko behlaate rahe
tanhaayi mein tere khayaalon ko sajaate rahe) (2)
khabi kabhi to aawaaz de kar
mujhko jagaaye khwaabon ne
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(roothi raate
roothi hui raaton ko manaaya kabhi
tere liye bheegi subah ko bulaaya kabhi) (2)
tere bina bhi tere liye hi
diye jalaaye raahon mein

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

Film song with two stanzas:


Mukesh's song with stanza "bhole bhaale":

Phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

For some reason this one reminds me of zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi. I think it's the singer, slow music and similar instruments playing in the background that cause this effect.

Absolutely love the way Rafi sahab sings the word "mulaqaat" in this one. Funnily enough, the song came up on youtube as I was listening to "wada na tod" of Lataji and I got to listen to it for the first time. So glad I clicked on it. :) Sharmila looks so gorgeous.


M: phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo (2)
(hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

[love the music here, wondering what other instruments play here other than sitar and violin]

(dil ki har baat adhoori hai adhoori hai abhi
apni ek aur mulaqaat zaroori hai abhi) (2)
chand lamhon ke liye saath ka wada kar lo
hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

F: aap kyon dil ka haaseen raaz mujhe dete hai
kyon nayaa naghmaa nayaa saaz mujhe dete hai
main to hoon doobi hui pyaar ke toofaanon mein
aap saahil se hi aawaaz mujhe dete hai
kal bhi honge yehi jazbaat yeh wada kar lo

M: (hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)
