kahin to hogi woh

singer: rashid ali, vasundhara das
lyricist: abbas tyrewala
music: a.r. rahman
movie: jaane tu ya jaane na

(rashid ali)
kahin to, kahin to, hogi woh duniya jahan tu mere saath hai
jahaan main, jahaan tu, aur jahaan bas tere mere jazbaat hain
hogi jahaan subah teri, palkon ki kirnon main
lori jahaan chaand ki, sune teri baahon main

jaane na kahan wo duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin

(vasundhara das)
saansein kho gayi hain kis ki aanhon main
main kho gayi hoon jaane kis ki baahon main
manzilon se raahein dhoondti chali
kho gayi hain manzil kahin raahon main

(rashid ali)
kahin to, kahin to, hai nasha teri meri har mulaqaat main
honthon se, honthon ko, choomte o rehte hum har baat pe
kehti hai fiza jahaan, teri zameen aasmaan
jahaan hai tu meri haseen, meri khushi meri jaan

jaane na kahan wo duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin

after a long long time, a mesmerizing song by rahman, got hooked to this one the very first time i listened to it.. though a friend says that the music looks influenced by MLTR but to me this is a vintage rahman !! may be it is the effect of the way rashid ali sings the song, he simply pours his heart out.. and listening to the refreshing voice of vasundhara das is always a joy.. abbas tyrewala as a debutant has written some magical heart-touching lyrics.. thanks a lot guys for this number..

quotes

1. this one is by ayrton senna.. the three times formula one world champion from brazil who died at an age of 34 suffering severe head injuries after his car crashed due to the steering wheel failure at the san marino grand prix in imola (italy) on 1 may 1994.. simply amazing words..

If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs me my life, I hope it is in one go. I would not like to be in a wheelchair. I would not like to be in a hospital suffering from whatever injury it was. If I'm going to live, I want to live fully. Very intensely, because I am an intense person. It would ruin my life if I had to live partially.

2. this one is by woody allen from the movie annie hall and is actually from his stand-up comic days.. like it for the optimism that it conveys.. though there are bad periods in life, they remain for a very short period.. all is always well in the end.. that's how i interpret this quote..

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.
