separated by 50 years, but still

inspired by thakur's post on mehfooz, here are two songs i have developed a strong liking for in recent days..

the first one titled "hum hain raahi pyaar ke" from the movie "nau do gyarah" (1957), great trio of singer kishore kumar, lyricist majrooh sultanpuri & musician sachin dev burman, and to top it all filmed on the evergreen dev anand :)

hum hain raahi pyaar ke, humse kuchh na boliye
jo bhi pyaar se mila, hum ussi ke ho liye

dard bhi hume kabool, chainn bhi hume kabool
humne har tarah ke phool, haar main piro liye

dhoop thi naseeb main, dhoop main liya hai dum
chaandni mili to hum, chaandi main so liye

dil pe aasra kiye, hum to bas yunhi jiye
ek kadam pe hans liye, ek kadam pe ro liye

raah main pade hain hum, kab se aap ki kasam
dekhiye to kam se kam, boliye na boliye

for some reasons, the above song brings an instant smile to my face, i really don't know why.. probably it's the irony that while the lyrics are so pragmatic in everyday life, it's difficult to follow them nonetheless.. or may be it's just the reflection ki abhi tak koi mila nahi hai :)

the second one titled "saiyyan" from the album "kailasa - jhoomo re" (2007), sung composed & music directed by kailash kher in assitance with his band members naresh & paresh..

heere moti main na chahoon, main to chahoon sangam tera
main to teri saiyyan, tu hai mera
saiyyan.. saiyyan..
tu jo choo le pyaar se, aaram se mar jaon
aa jaa chanda baahon main, tujh main hi gum ho jaon main
tere naam main kho jaon
saiyyan.. saiyaan..

mere dil khushi se jhoome, gaayen raatein
pal pal mujhe dubaayen, jaate jaate
tujhe jeet jeet haaroon, ye praan praan waaroon
haaye aise main nihaaroon, teri aarti utaaroon
tere naam se jude hain saare naate
saiyaan.. saiyyan..
banke maala prem ki, tere tan pe jhar jhar jaaon
baithoon naiyya preet ki, sansaar se thar jaaon main
tere pyaar se tar jaaon
saiyyan.. saiyyan..

ye naram naram nasha hai, badhta jaaye
koi pyaar se ghungatiya, deta uthaaye
ab baawra hua mann, jag ho gaya hai roshan
ye nayi nayi suhagan, ho gayi hai teri jogan
koi prem ki pujaran mandir sajaye
saiyyan.. saiyyan.. saiyyan.. saiyyan..
heere moti main na chahoon, main to chahoon sangam tera
main na janoon.. tu hi jaane.. main to teri.. tu hai mera..
main na janoon.. tu hi jaane.. main to teri.. tu hai mera..
main to teri.. tu hai mera..

now this is one of those songs that touches the heart & soul.. and as thakur agrees (and chamad partially feels, given his appreciation for quality music is still in a nascent stage :P) it's hard to describe the feeling in words..

lots more to write.. hopefully very soon in the next or next to next post.. once again, tashakor!! for bearing with me.. shubh raatri.. shabba khair.. lekin, kabhi alvida na kehna :P fir milenge..
