As I have already mentioned I am in love with words and the art of using them. Bollywood songs with good lyrics have always been a treat to my ears. Today I am just posting up a few of those songs that are in my playlist because of the awesome lyrics they have. I must mention that they not the top twenty of my list but only a twenty of my cherished ones. Actually I do not have any such list, I just cannot put one on the top and others below it. Its like choosing the best Dairy Milk Silk from a bundle of Dairy Milk Silks. They all take me to same lane where I am surrounded by words dancing singing all together to create a beautiful world for me. Of course the songs have a variety of moods and genre, even dairy milk silks come in flavors now but then all of them are relished in the same way. I am also posting the youtube links to the songs . Enjoy !!Here we go:
- Phir Le Aaya Dil - Barfi
This song is a magic in itself, be it the female version by Rekha Bhardwaj or the male version by Arijit Singh. The mood of the song, the sufi style and of course the "urdu words" leave you muttering the song for the whole day. I can listen to it many number of times and not get bored....."kya keeje" :)
दिल कह रहा है उसे मय्यसर कर भी आओ
वो जो दबी सी आस बाकी है !!
- Tum Ho - Rockstar
किस तरह छीनेगा मुझसे ये जहाँ तुम्हे
तुम भी हो मैं क्या फिकर अब हमे
तुम हो पास मेरे साथ मेरे हो तुम यूँ
जितना महसूस करूँ तुमको उतना ही पा भी लू
- Abhi Mujh me Kahin - Agneepath
For those who haven't seen the movie understanding why I like the lines of this song would be a little difficult. The lines in this song are so appropriate for the movie that it leaves me astonished that how could someone write so beautifully and exactly what was needed. The pain of separation of a brother and the confused happy state of mind when he gets his sister back after a long time is so very well rooted in the song. Hrithik does brilliant job bringing life to the song by his acting.
डोर से छूटी पतंग जैसी थी ये जिंदगानी मेरी
आज है कल हो मेरा न हो हर पल थी कहानी मेरी
एक बंधन नया पीछे से अब मुझको बुलाये
आने वाले पल की क्यूँ फिकर मुझको सता जाए
कुछ ऐसी चुभन इस लम्हे में है
ये लम्हा कहाँ था मेरा !!
If anyone who hasn't seen the movie and wants to understand the lines please comment below I shall be very elated explaining them to you.
- Yeh Dooriyaan - Love aaj Kal
Mohit Chauhan again !! The starting music of the song is wonderful. There is something different about it that I fell in love with. These lines in particular, just like the movie are so aberrantly refreshing.
कभी हुआ ये भी खाली राहों पे भी तू था मेरे साथ
कभी तुझे मिल के लौटा मेरा दिल ये खाली खाली हाथ
ये भी हुआ कभी जैसे हुआ अभी तुझको सभी में पा लिया
Apart from the rest of song which is equally awesome, the use of justifying words and the underlying meaning , these lines are really close to my heart and hence makes the song one of my 'LyricsFavouriteSong'.
- Arziyaan - Delhi 6
Songs like these always serve the right thing before me. The exact ingredients of my taste, the sufi touch, the A R Rehman music and the aura that is created. I feel close to God when I listen to such songs. Sometimes some one creates exactly the thing the you need and hence this song was forged.
" दरारें दरारें हैं माथे पे मौला.....मरम्मत मुक्कदर की कर दो मौला "
The lines that follow now are a part of the song that I love the most. I would request everyone who hasn't come across this song to please listen to it. You'll feel heavenly.
सर उठा के तो मैंने कितनी ख्वाहिशें की थी
कितने ख्वाब देखे थे कितनी कोशिशें की थी
जब तू रूबरू आया नज़रें ना मिला पाया
सर झुका के एक पल मैं मैंने क्या नहीं पाया
- Kabeera - Yeh jawani hai deewani :
This track was a best thing about this movie. It is set around a person who lives only for himself without caring about the world and ends up being alone. Beautifully sung by Rekha bharadwaj, this song is a pure game of lyrics and hence I found it interesting when I listened to it for the first time.
कैसी तेरी खुदगर्जी लब नमक लगे न मिसरी
कैसे तेरी खुदगर्जी तुझे प्रीत पुरानी बिसरी
मस्त मौला मस्त कलंदर तू हवा का एक बवंडर
बुझ के यु अन्दर ही अन्दर क्यों रह गया !
The use of "parchayiyaan" in this song is like a gem to it. Parchayiyaan or The Shadow of a person speaks the truth about him and the actual area where he belongs, however hard he may try to run behind things in life, one day he has to give in to his shadow.
" आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाईया "
So I guess this much would do for today. I'll soon post more of my favorite songs in coming post. Till then enjoy these. Do comment ! I'd love to hear from you people about these songs and your favorite ones.
