PASTa Treat

i mean past a treat
how words transcend time , A more than 200 yrs old Ghazal by Mir taqi Mir used
in movie named " Bazaar" , singer none other than lata, music by khaiyyam sahib.
it tells about depth of love. i am simplifying and translating urdu words,
to make it more clear in meaning.
urdu meanings
bekhud- no control on self
jabeen- forehead(maatha)
sajda- bowing in prayer
haq e bandagi- duty of worshiping
ada- fulfilled
parasthish ki - worshiped
yaan tak- upto that extent
butt- idol
nazar main - in eyes
sabhon ki- all the people( sabki)
khuda- God
arzoo- desire
gali- street( symbolical for closeness)
yaan se- from here( yahan se in hindi)
lahoo main nahan kar- in blood bath( symbolical for severe pain)
Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
on seeing you, i lost control on self.
Hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale
you separated me from myself


Jabheen sajda karte hi karte gayi
forehead kept on bowing in prayers
Haq-e-bandagi ham adaa kar chale
i have fulfilled the duty of worshiping.


parasthish Ki yaan Tak Ke Aye Butt Tujhe
i worshiped you as idol, upto an extent that
nazar Mein Sabhon Ki Khuda Kar Chale
in eye of people, i `ve made you like a God.


bahut Aarzoo Thi Gali Ki Teri
i had too much desire of your street( closeness)
so Yaan se Lahoo Mein Naha Kar Chale
so i am in bloodbath .

Enjoy this classic piece of music once more...
AnMoL VaChAn- It’s not complete Ghazal but only four shayers (couplets) from full Ghazal-Fakirana Ae Sada Kar Chale, Miya Khush Raho Hum Dua Kar Chale.
This shows, even after two hundred years human emotions are the same.

MAGIC of LATA JI

This song is like a kite for my heart; my heart will follow wherever this song swings. This song is a proof that Lata Ji is a MAGIC. The voice , the sur just fantastic. Laxmi-pyare Music is class. Words by Anand Bakshi are touching. Mohinder kapoor -gud,but at the end Lata steals the show.

The song passes through ears and just diffuses in my blood, it is so sweet that if someone takes MY blood sample WHILE LISENING, I hope he/she would get some drops of honey.

Rina roy Ney song ko char chand laga diye , heR expressions are elegant.

The line is just katilana-ye akhein bolti hain jo hum na bol paye,

dabi who pyas mann ki nazar main jhilmilaye,( the way lata says it – no words)

hoton pe teri halki si hahin ahi, meri dharkan bahakti ja rahi hai...


meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai

meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai
ye pahle pyaar ki khushbu
teri saanson se shaayad aa rahi hai
meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai


shuru ye silsilaa to usi din se huaa thaa
shuru ye silsilaa to usi din se huaa thaa
achaanak toone jis din mujhe yoonhi chhuaa thaa
achaanak toone jis din mujhe yoonhi chhuaa thaa

lahar jaagi jo us pal, tan-badan mein

wo mann ko aaj bhi bahkaa rahi hai
pahle pyaar ki khushbu
teri saanson se shaayad aa rahi hai
meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai


bahut tarsaa hai ye dil, tere sapne sajaake
bahut tarsaa hai ye dil, tere sapne sajaake
ye dil ki baat sun le, meri baahon mein aake

jagaakar anokhi pyaas man mein
yahi thi aag jo dahkaa rahi hai
ye pahle pyaar ki khushbu
teri saanson se shaayad aa rahi hai
meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai


ye aankhen bolti hain, jo ham na bol paaye
ye aankhen bolti hain, jo ham na bol paaye
dabi wo pyaas man ki, nazar mein jhilmilaaye
dabi wo pyaas man ki, nazar mein jhilmilaaye

honthon pe teri halki si hansi hai
meri dhadkan bahakti jaa rahi hai
pahle pyaar ki khushbu
teri saanson se shaayad aa rahi hai
meri saanson ko jo mahkaa rahi hai


Anmol VaChAn: Its appears paradox, after listening the lyrics of 60s and 70s that how sensible listener of that time were .They responded to the those complex words that today’s lyricist afraid to use(people would not accept- they say). Imagine that time lndian literacy rate was below 50%.

song of the River


Today the song of the River, ओ माझी रे ..

Some people are talented but they need someone to streamline their potential.I think kishore kr was among those.

After songs like jhomroo, ek rupya baraah aanaa.. he might have gone unnoticed if not streamlined in serious singing by S D Burman. Burman sr. reinvented kishore and Burman jr too extracted best of kishore that resulted in some of the gems of hindi music.

o maajhi re! is one song that transports to a world of different feeling.

crafted words of Gulzar, lovingly kneaded in music by R D Burman and soulful singing by kishore makes listener , for a while- a wanderer in the musical world created by their harmony.

Ponder on the line- अपना किनारा , नदिया की धारा है



ओ माझी रे ! ओ माझी रे !

अपना किनारा , नदिया की धारा है

ओ माझी रे अपना किनारा , नदिया की धारा है

माझी रे …

साहिलों पे बहने वाले

कभी सुना तो होगा कहीं , ओ …

हो , कागजों की कश्तियों का

कहीं किनारा होता नहीं

हो माझी रे … माझी रे

कोई किनारा जो किनारे से मिले वो ,

अपना किनारा है …

ओ माझी रे …अपना किनारा

नदिया की धारा है

ओ माझी रे …

पानियों में बह रहे हैं

कई किनारे टूटे हुए ओ …

हो , रास्तों में मिल गए हैं

सभी सहारे छूते हुए …

हो माझी रे माझी रे

कोई सहारा मझधारे में मिले जो ,

अपना सहारा है …

हो माझी रे अपना किनारा

नदिया की धारा है

Madhuban khushboo deta hai


All the listeners of hindi music know male singers of golden era

such as Rafi, Mukesh and kishore, but there are

more singers who never touched height of fame perhaps they

were not versatile but they were quality singers in their own niche. Naming few -Manna de, Hemant kumar, Talat Mahmood.etc.

I have special place for two entirely different singers- Yeshudas and Bhupendra.

I can point out many of kishore, Rafi and Mukesh songs below average.

But there is not even a single song by these two singers which I can’t relish in ears.

They sang less but quality songs. There is one song by Yeshudas which I listen often in a particular mood.

Today my mood is similar for some reason. So, I share this song with musical blood people.

This song soothes my soul.

matchless – soothing piano by Laxmi pyare duo, truthful yeshudas voice and words of wisdom by Santosh Anand.

I luv the line-Suraj na ban paaye to, bankey deepak jalta chal…

Madhuban khushboo deta hai, saagar saawan deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auron ko jeewan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai…

Suraj na ban paaye to, bankey deepak jalta chal -2

Phool miley ya angaare, sach ki raahon pe chalta chal -2

Pyaar dilon ko deta hai, ashqon ko daaman deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auron ko jeewan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai…

Chalti hai lehraa ke pawan, ke saans sabhi ki chalti rahe -2

Logo ne tyaag diye jeewan, ke preet dilo mein palti rahe -2

Dil woh dil hai jo auron ko, apni dhadhkan deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auron ko jeewan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai…

I love this song for its pace as it goes like slow moving whispering brook.The song hAS UNIQUE TONE as if intoxicated lovers are singing.The song is slow, serene,soothing and depicts deep and soft love.

Yeh dil deewana hai, dil tou deewana hai
Deewana dil hai yeh dil deewana
Both:

Lata:
Kaisa bedardi hai
Kaisa bedardi hai, iski tou marzi hai
Jab tak jawaani hai, yeh rut suhani hai
Nazren juda na hon, armaan khafa na hon
Dilkash bahaaron mein, chhupke chanaron mein
Yunhi sada ham tum baithe rahe gumsum
Woh bewafa jo kahe hamko jaana hai yeh dil
Yeh dil deewana hai, dil tou deewana hai
Deewana dil hai yeh dil deewana
Both:
Ha ha ha

Rafi:
Bechain rehta hai
Bechain rehta hai, chupke se kehta hai
Mujhko dhadkane dou, shola bhadakne dou
Kaanton men kaliyon mein, saajan ki galiyon mein
Dera lagane dou, chhodo bhi jaane dou
Kho to na jaaoonga, main laut aoonga
Dekha suna samjhe achchha bahana hai yeh dil
Yeh dil deewana hai, dil tou deewana hai
Deewana dil hai yeh dil deewana
Both:
Ha ha ha

Lata:

Rafi:
Badal ke chate hi

Both:

Innoscent Sahrukh

There are many songs which are so established that each coming generation treats them as their very own. If you listen "purani jeans" , some numbers are aired more often. The songs from Aandhi, Guide,Pakiza,Silsila,Izazat, Amitabh Era, Rjesh khanna era , Shammi kapoor era,
Dev Anand era, Raj kapoor era- Romantics are very frequent.

But some some good songs are embraced by only few real music lovers of that generation.
Every generation relates with some song for some special reason.especially love songs , The dearest love songs are those when you really fall in love. When you realize the song is matching your feelings.
I try to dig deep to come up with less popular but good songs.
Its like you already know good music , please add this number to your list.


This time a romantic number from 90,s. Simple and melodious. Kumar shanu flavor by Nadeem Shravan.Here you can see - Innoscent Sahrukh. -kabhie haan akbie naa.


aye kash ke hum ab hosh main na aney payen.


aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
bas nagmein tere pyaar ke, gaate hee jaayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen

khilatee, mahakatee ye julfon kee shaam
hasate, khanakate ye hothhon ke jaam
khilatee, mahakatee ye julfon kee shaam
hasate, khanakate ye hothhon ke jaam
aa zhoom ke saath uthhayen, bas nagmein tere pyaar ke, gaate hee jaayen


aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
bas nagmein tere pyaar ke, gaate hee jaayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen

ho bas agar tum humaare sanam
hum to sitaaron pe rakh de kadam
ho bas agar tum humaare sanam
hum to sitaaron pe rakh de kadam

saaraa jahaan bhool jaayen, bas nagmein tere pyaar ke ..


aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
aye kaash ke hum hosh mein ab aane naa paayen
bas nagmein tere pyaar ke, gaate hee jaayen

Pee loon...


mohit has a gifted voice, i like him since i heard him ist in a live performance on Tv -
doobadooba sa rahta hoon ...
Then he was part of "silk route".
his voice lifts you to some alter level of spirit.
lyrics by irsad - brilliant. music by Pritam is good.
but i think
if they had avioded "tere sang ishq
taari "portion in the song, the song would have been more rich in romantic flavour.

No doubt that portion has brilliant classical touch
but that does not go well with the genre of the song and lyrics.
It diverts the romantic mood of the song.
still, overall it sounds good.
ma fav line is-
Jis tarah ki koi ho nadi,
tu mere seenay mein chupti hai sagar tumhara main hoon.

Pee loon tere neelay neelay nainon se shabnam
Pee loon tere geelay geelay hoto ki sargam
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam

Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai

Tere bin jee nahi lagda, tere bin jee nahi sakda
Tujhpe hai haare maine vaare dou jahaan, kurbaan, meharbaan, ke main toh kurbaan
Sun ley zara, terey kurbaan

Hosh mein rahun kyun aaj main
Tu meri baahon mein simti hai, mujh mein samayi hai yun
Jis tarah ki koi ho nadi, tu mere seenay mein chupti hai sagar tumhara main hoon

Pee loon teri dheemi dheemi lehron ki chham chham
Pee loon teri saundhi saundhi saanson ko harr dum
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam

Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai


Shaam ko milun jo main tujhe
Toh bura subah na jaane kyun kuch maan jaati hai yeh
Har lamha, har ghadi har pehar
Hi teri yaadon se tadpa ke mujhko jalati hai yeh
Pee loon main dheerey dheerey jalney ka yeh gumm
Pee loon inn gorey gorey haanthon se hum dum
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam

Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai

Tere bin jee nahi lagda, tere bin jee nahi sakda
Tujhpe hai haare maine vaare do jahan, kurbaan, meharbaan,
ke main toh kurbaan
Sun le zara, tera kurbaan...
