Deewana Mastana hua dil :)

This song is very very close to my heart… This was the first song that I remember singing in my school… The ones I sang before, I do not have memory of… So, I was all of 9 years and I remember my father selecting the song for me and my mom dilligently teaching me the alaap of the song 🙂

My dad doesnt sing himself, but he has a penchant for catching mistakes… So, he would always listen to the songs before the performance to iron out the mistakes and when asked how he manages to do that. His reply comes “Coach of a team need not be an excellent player himself. Being a player helps, but is not mandatory. His fundas should be clear thats all”. Point taken 🙂

Such memories 😀 

I managed to find it on Bollyfm today and listening to it made my day 😀

Lyrics:

आ sssssssssssssssssssssss
पा मा गा… मा रे गा… पा मा गा मा
आ sssssssssssssssssssssss
सा नि ध पा मा गा रे सा

नि… नि… नि…

दीवाना मस्ताना हुआ दिल
जाने कहाँ हो के बहार आई

हो हो तन को मेरे छुए घटा काली
छेड़े लहर लहर मतवाली
तन को मेरे
लाख कोई अनजाना
दीवाना मस्ताना…

हो हो कुछ अनकही कही मेरी चितवन
बोले जिया लिखे मेरी धड़कन
एक नया अफ़साना
दीवाना मस्ताना…

पा मा गा… मा रे गा… पा मा गा मा (२)
आ ssssssssssssssssssssssssss
सा नि ध पा मा गा रे सा

नि… नि… नि…

दीवाना मस्ताना हुआ दिल
जाने कहाँ हो के बहार आई

हो हो सावन लगा मचल गए बादल
देखो जिसे हुआ वोही पागल
कौन हुआ दीवाना
दीवाना मस्ताना…

A lovely morn!!! :D

Woke up at 6 AM today… Yap! Not kidding… That was the time… and I seriously cant recall when was the last time I got up soooo early 😀 All this was thanks to my maid coming so early! All those who know me, know my penchant for waking up as late as I can afford…. So, when A and C saw me sitting in the hall sipping tea at 8 (that was when they woke up), they were pleasantly surprised…. so much so that A took a lottttttttt of time in accepting the fact that I was up so early 😉

They were even more surprised to see the hall all clean and the breakfast duly made… 😉

But, I must tell you… this has been, undoubtedly, the bestttttt morning in a fortnight now… and if that wasnt enough… chatted with an old school friend after a longgggggg time and also found some really good old songs here for download… Songs like Mohe bhool gaye sanwariya, Diwana Mastana hua dil, Tere Karan Mere Sajan, Kaare Kaare Baadra, Kahin deep jale kahin dil 😀

Cant believe that, can you!?????? So couldnt I!!! 😀

So, in short a GREAT start!!!!!!!!! Hope the rest of the day goes on fine..

Have a Great day people!!!! 😀

Tumne mujhe dekha from Teesri Manzil

One of the most amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggg songs of Md. Rafi! And according to me, one of the most romantic songs ever 🙂

The lyrics:

तुमने मुझे देखा, हो कर मेहेरबान
रुक गयी ये ज़मीन, थाम गया आसमान
जान–ए–मन जान–ए–जान

कहीं दर्द की सहरा में, रुकते चलते होते
इन होठों की हसरत में, तपते जलते होते
मेहेरबान हो गयीं, ज़ुल्फ़ की बदलियाँ
जान-ए-मन जान-ए-जान

लेकर ये हसीन जलवे, तुम भी ना कहा पहुचे
आख़िर को मेरे दिल तक, क़दमों के निशान पहुँचे
ख़त्म से हो गाये, रास्ते सब यहाँ
जान-ए-मन जान-ए-जान

Say Shava Shava

I love this song. The reason for that is the perfect blend of Indian and western music. Also admirable is the choreography which shows the Indian and western steps so well blended with the music.

Definitely worth a watch 🙂

Yaad me teri from Mere Mehboob

I hope u guys arent bored yet.. But, M on the roll… one of my all time favs – here comes a Rafi-Lata duet… They weave magic into the otherwise simple tune… The lyrics rock!

Why such morose songs all of a sudden you may think. I am a boring person anyways, so have always loved morose songs more than any other type! 🙂

Lyrics:

याद मे तेरी जाग जाग के हम
रात भर करवटें बदलते हैं
हर घड़ी दिल मे तेरी उल्फत के
धीमे धीमे चराग़ जलते हैं

जब से तूने निगाह फ़ेरी है
दिन है सूना तो रात अंधेरी है
चाँद भी अब नज़र नहीं आता
अब सितारे भी कम निकलते हैं
याद मे तेरी जाग जाग के हम…

लुट गयी वो बहार की महफ़िल
छुट गयी हम से प्यार की मंज़िल
ज़िंदगी की उदास राहों में
तेरी यादों के साथ चलते हैं
याद मे तेरी जाग जाग के हम….

तुझको पाकर हमें बहार मिली
तुझसे छुट कर मगर ये बात खुली
बागबान भी चमन के फूलों को
अपने पैरों से ख़ुद मसलते हैं
याद मे तेरी जाग जाग के हम….

क्या कहें तुझसे क्यूँ हुई दूरी
हम समझते हैं अपनी मजबूरी
तुझको मालूम क्या कि तेरे लिए
दिल के गम आँसुओं में ढलते हैं
याद मे तेरी जाग जाग के हम….

Shaam-e-gham from Foot Path

One of Talat Mahmood”s best songs ever and one of my all time favorites. These days, have gotten big time into old songs, which I loved but never got around to hearing them very often…. Time for that 🙂

Lyrics:

शाम-ऐ-गम की कसम, आज ग़मगीन है हम
आ भी जा, आ भी जा आज मेरे सनम
शाम-ऐ-गम की कसम
दिल परेशान है रात वीरान है
देख जा किस तरह आज तनहा है हम
शाम-ऐ-गम की कसम

चैन कैसा जो पहलू मे तू नही
मार डाले न दर्द-ऐ-जुदाई कहीँ
रुत हसीं है क्या, चाँदनी है तो क्या
चाँदनी ज़ुल्म है और जुदाई सितम
शाम-ऐ-गम की क़सम

अब तो आजा के अब रात भी सो गयी
जिन्दगी गम के सहराव मे खो गयी
ढूँढती हैं नज़र तू कहाँ है मगर
देखते देखते आया आँखों मे गम
शाम-ऐ-गम की क़सम

Mehboob mere – Patthar ke Sanam

Patthar ke sanam has some beautiful songs. However, amongst all, this one tops the chart for me. Check it out. Isnt Waheeda gorgeous!? 🙂 

I drove all night – Celine Dion

I stumbled upon this song today on VH1, and saw this song video after ages! The video is ok, the lyrics r just about ok…. but her voice!!! Oh My God! The woman is a singer par excellence and a lot of credit for that goes to her voice! What a voice! Truly scintillating!

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

What in this world
Keeps us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of our one heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Is that alright

I drove all night
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep

Channa Ve by Kunal Ganjawala

The first time i heard the song, it was during Indian Idol. Since then, I am in love with the song. One of the best songs by Kunal Ganjawala.

Lyrics (with translation for the benefit of readers like Jana) :

Channa ve ghar aa ja ve

Channa – my lover-who resembles the moon

Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve

Dhola–one who is white and handsome

Teriyan udikaan vich muk challe saah

I’ve been waiting for U for so long that my breath is nearly failing 

Aaja, takdi de rog muka ja ve

Please come and end the heartache of one who is looking-out for U

Aavega jad soniyan mahiyaan

When U come, my handsome lover 

Mereya sajna dhol sipahiya

My beloved, my white and handsome soldier 

Rakh laangi tennu seene la ke

I’ll keep U close to my heart 

Tere baajon jind kamlaiyan

Without U my life is absolutely crazy

Jaandi nai akhiyaan choN laali

The redness of my eyes does not go 

Dil dariya vi lagda hai khali

The sea of my heart also appears barren 

Khushiyaan vedhe tukhdiyaan naahi

Happiness does not appear appropriate in my house’s verandah 

Hove na jad dil da vaali

If my heart’s possessor is not present

Chaudhvin ka chaand ho

The song gives me goose bumps every time i listen to it. One song that i can listen anytime and end up feeling good… 🙂

Lyrics:

Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho, Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki Kasam, Lajawab Ho

Zulfein Hain Jaise Kaandhe Pe Baadal Jhuke Hue
Aankhen Hain Jaise Maey Ke Pyaale Bhare Hue
Masti Hai Jisme Pyaar Ki Tum, Woh Sharaab Ho
Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho …

Chehra Hai Jaise Jheel Mein Khilta Hua Kanwal
Ya Zindagi Ke Saaz Pe Chhedi Hui Ghazal
Jaane Bahaar Tum Kisi Shaayar Ka Khwaab Ho
Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho …

Hothon Pe Khelti Hain Tabassum Ki Bijliyaan
Sajde Tumhari Raah Mein Karti Hain Kaikashaan
Duniya-E-Husno-Ishq Ka Tum Hi Shabaab Ho
Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho …

The way you look tonight – Michael Buble

 

Some day, when I’m awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You’re lovely, with your smile so war
mAnd your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Mm… Lovely … Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won’t you please arrange it?
‘Cause I love you … Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart…
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Oh… Lovely … don’t you ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won’t you please arrange it?
‘Cause I love you … Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, tonight.

Ae Dil-e-nadan…

I have said this a million times before… and will keep saying it till I die… Lata kills you with her voice…!! It pierces your body, mind and soul and touches portions of your heart, you did not know existed! When i listen to her songs, I get so lost… dont want to do anything but soak the entire warmth carried by her voice!!

Right now, finishing an assignment… The song played by Nitin, revitalised me completely…

You also enjoy it here…

Lyrics:

Maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere – 4
aankhein teri – 2, kitni haseen
ki inkaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tu
(ishq hai maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere – 2) – 3

ki inakaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tu

mujhase yeh har ghadi, meraa dil kahe
tum hi ho usaki aarzoo
mujhase yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
baatein teri itni haseen, main yaad inko jab kartaa hoon
phoolon si aaye, khushaboo

rakh loon chhupaa ke main kahin tujhako
saayaa bhi teraa naa main doon
rakh loon banaa ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
saath tere, main hi rahoon
julfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inako, yeh sochataa hoon
saaye me, inake main jiyoon
(ishq hai
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere – 2) – 3

(meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa) – 3
