Roya re… dil roya re

Tanhai sangdil tanhai
sang lai yaad teri sang lai
baar baar ho bahaar phir se yaad aai
sooni sooni raah dil ki jisne ji sajai
tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
roya re, dil roya re

har taraf bikhre hain teri yaadon ke hi nishaan
meri har ek cheez mein hai teri hi parchaiyaan
tu hi hota hai, tu hi rehta hai, mujh mein har dam sada
pass bhi tu hai, door bhi tu hi, hai yeh kaisi khala
yaad ban ke ashq teri aankhon mein samaayi
yaad ban ke ek hassi hothon pe bhi aayi
tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
roya re, dil roya re

Chaand suraj bhi wahi hain, hai wahi aasmaan
zindagi bhi chal rahi hai, chal raha hai jahaan
main hi thehra hun, khud mein simta hun, dil hai gum se bhara
bin tere kaise jiyun mein, kuch to de mashwara
zindagaani aisi reh guzar pe mujhko laayi
saaye se bhi ab tere ho gayi judai
tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
roya re, dil roya re

Maula mere le le meri jaan…

An awesome song from the movie Chak de India. Now even though I havent seen it, I heard this song thanks to Vipin. A beautiful number by Krishna and Salim merchant.

Teeja tera rang tha main to
jiya tere dhang se main to
tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
maula mere le le meri jaan
maula mere le le meri jaan

Tere sang kheli holi, teri sang thi diwali
teri angano ki chaya, tere sang sawan aaya
pher le tu chahe nazre chahe chura le
laut ke tu aayega re shart laga le
teeja tera rang tha main to
jiya tere dhang se main to
tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
maula mere le le meri jaan
maula mere le le meri jaan

Mitti meri bhi bhurri, wahi mere ghee aur choori
wahi ranjhe mere wohi heer, wohi sewaiya wahi kheer
tujhse hi roothna re mujhe hi manana
tera mera naata koi toota na jaana
teeja tera rang tha main to
jiya tere dhang se main to
tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
maula mere le le meri jaan
maula mere le le meri jaan

All I ever wanted…

Tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua
khoyi hai kyon har khushi
kiski lagi baddua
kisse kisse jawaab dun
bujha hua yeh dil hai kyon
kya main kahu bikhra kyon sapna mera

bheegey se yeh din hai kaali raatein
ansuon ki ho jaise barsaatein
puche mujhse jo yeh dil ki baatein
kya main kahu dard kyon dil ko mila
tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua

soona sa hai ab yeh mera mann
doobi huyi si hai ab dhadkan
jaaun kahan aaye yahi uljhan
kya main kahu khoya kyon rasta mera
tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua

All that I ever dreamt and wished for was a loving family, caring partner, a small house and a peaceful life, where everyone is happy. Never realised it was too much to ask for or expect in this life. The song “tere bina” from guru is playing on repeat mode since I started writing this post. And if you can do one thing that I ask you to do today, then listen to this song once without any distraction, without any work at hand.

Just sit back, close your eyes and listen to that song and try and remember the day when you met/ saw someone special. Try to recall that eye contact, that innocence, the odd silence, the little hesitation, the racing heartbeat, the shyness, the surprise element, the couldnt believe reality…. try and recall it all.

If this song fails to shake you today…. probably it never will convey what it actually is capable of!!

I will let go

This was one song that I heard while watching the movie “Jawbreaker” about a month or so back. Though its titled “flow” I think it would have been better as ” I will let go…”

i’m always swimming against the flow of the tide,
kissing the life into something that’s already died.
i’ve been driving forever, i’ll let go.
i dive into the river, and flow.
you said that you could hear bells in the traffic below,
i could hear sirens and car engines fighting the snow.

Its so damn strange

Just when I thought nobody could have a life worse than me, nobody could possibly be bearing the pain that I was going through, I meet this stranger. Well he is supposed to be my cousins cousin. So its neither a far off relative, nor a pretty close one. So I prefer to refer him here as a stranger first, cos thats what he was when I met him on Friday.

In a span of 2 days he has left me speechless. I was told he doesnt talk, doesnt smile, doesnt do any of the stuff that normal people do and there he was finding solace in his conversations with me. I find it strange cos its funny that we always tend to feel that our problems are the biggest and the worst. But when I even try and imagine what munna must be going through, I fail to do so. Thats cos I just cant imagine that! He talked, he shared, he laughed, he cried (twice)… he shared all that he possibly could.

Ya rabba…

Pyar hai ya saza aye mere dil bata
toot-ta kyon nahi dard ka silsila
is pyar mein ho kaise kaise imtehaan
yeh pyar likhe kaisi kaisi dastaan
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar pe ho na koi asar

kaisa hai safar wafa ki manzil ka
na hai koi hal dilon ki mushkil ka
dhadkan dhadkan utri ranjishein
sansein sansein tooti bandishein
kahi to har lamha hothon pe fariyaad hai
kisi ki duniya chahat mein barbaad hai
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar pe ho na koi asar

koi na sune sisakti aahon ko
koi na dhare in tadapti baahon ko
aadhi aadhi poori khwahishein
tooti phooti sab farmaishein
kahi shak hai to kahi nafrat ki deewar hai
kahi jeet mein bhi shaamil pal pal haar hai
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar pe ho na koi asar

Its 2.45 am and I am unable to find a trace of sleep. And once I do find that, I will start worrying about the dreams that it would bring. Probably the reason its still nowhere to be seen.

But to a person who could sleep for hours and loved to dream. huh.. I can only muster the courage to smile and shrug off my shoulders. Destiny !

Sad… truly sad.
