Likhe jo Khat tujhe vo Teri Yaad mein

Feeling absolutely amazing right now while listening to and posting this song here on the blog. Likhe jo khat tujhe is an evergreen song from the movie Kanyadaan, one of my all time favorites. Beautiful soul-touching poetry, great composition and sensational singing of Rafi makes it a class apart. Likhe jo khat tujhe vo teri  yaad mein hazaron rang ke nazaare ban gaye…you cannot sum it up better a feeling for your loved one than in these two lines. I will paste a download song link sometime later. For now, close your eyes, cut yourself off of any distraction & immerse in this song like I am doing right now.

Tu nahin toh zindagi mein aur kya reh jayega

Tu nahin toh zindagi mein aur kya reh jayega sung by Chitra Singh is a beautiful ghazal from the movie Arth. Love dard ki saari tahein aur saare guzre haadase, sab dhuan ho jayenge ek waaquiya reh jayega. The singing beautifully compliments the emptiness in life feeling that comes from the lyrics Tu nahi toh zindagi mein (There would be a vacuum in life without you).

Lyrics of Tu nahin to zindagi mein

Tu nahin toh zindagi mein aur kya reh jayegaa
Tu nahin toh zindagi mei aur kya reh jayega
Tu nahin toh….
Door tak tanhaiyon ka-2
silsila reh jayega
Tu nahin toh

Kabhi Yun bhi toh ho

Kabhi yun bhi toh ho…..Aur tum aao  is a beautiful ghazal sung by Jagjit singh. Love the part where it says Ye badal aisa toot ke barse, Mere dil ki tarah milne ko tumhara Dil bhi tarse, Tum niklo ghar se. I don’t have words to describe the feeling. What an intense craving for the love of your life to meet you!

Lyrics of Kabhi yun bhi to ho

Kabhi yun bhi toh ho-2
Dariya ka sahil ho
Poore chand ki raat ho
Aur tum aao

Kabhi yun bhi toh ho-2
Pariyon ki mehfil ho
Koi tumhari baat ho
Aur tum aao

Phir kisi shakh ne phenki chhaon

Phir kisi shakh ne phenki chhaon (chhanv) is another beautiful song from the movie Libaas directed by Gulzar, sung by Lata. Sadly, the movie was banned by the Censor Board of India and could never be released because its considerably bold subject at that time. The songs, all of them are timeless classics. I wrote about Sili hawa chhoo gayi a while back, this time it is another gem Phir kisi shaakh ne fenki chhanv.

Lyrics of Phir kisi shaakh ne phenki chhaon
Phir kisi shakh ne phenki chhaon
Phir kisi shakh ne haath hilaya
Phir kisi mod se uljhe paanv
Phir kisi raah ne paas bulaya

Mujhe Darde-Dil ka pata na tha mujhe Aap kisliye mil gaye

Mujhe Darde Dil ka pata na tha mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye is a beautiful song sung by Rafi from the movie akashdeep. Lyrics by Majrooh who is one of my favorites and music by Chitragupta. Love the beautiful wordings yunhi apne apne safar mein gum, kahin duur main kahin duur tum….very soothing!

Lyrics of Mujhe Darde dil ka pata na tha
Mujhe darde dil ka pata na tha mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye
Main akele yun hi mazey mein tha mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye
Mujhe darde dil ka pata na tha mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye

Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya

One amongst the certain songs that I hold dear to my heart because of their wonderful lyrics & poetry. The beautiful use of Urdu in Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya song from the movie Bazaar is just so touching. A magical gush in just two lines – dikhai diye yun ke bekhud kia, humein aap se bhi juda kar chale!

Lyrics of Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya (sung by Lata Mangeshkar)

Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya -2
humein aap se bhi juda kar chale
dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya
dikhayi Diye Yun
