Tera Bina Zindagi Bhi Lekin....AANDHI

Movie: Aandhi

Singer(s): Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar

Lyrics: Gulzar

Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin

Shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin

Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin

Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin

Tere bina zindagi se shikwa to nahin

Kaash aisa ho tere qadmo se
chun ke manzil chale,
aur kahi, door kahi,
Tum gar saath ho, 
manzilon ki. kami toh nahi.

Ji mein aata hai tere daaman mein

Sar chhupaake hum rote rahe, rote rahe

Teri bhi aankhon mein aansuon ki nami to nahin

Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin

Shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin

Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin

Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin

Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat

Chaand doobega nahin, raat ko rok lo

Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaqi to nahin

Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin

Shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin, shikwa nahin

Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin

Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin

Bereft you, no bickerings, in life,

no complaints, none really.

Life however ti'snt quite life, 
Bereft you,'ti'snt, not really.

Wish we'd been, 
led by your steps, 
to a different destiny,

an alternate choice, 
a different life,

ne'er a dearth of destinations, 
with you beside.

there's a rush in my heart, 
to lay in your arms, 
and weep incessantly,

i sense a gentle sob, 
flutter about your eyes too.

Bereft you, no bickerings, in life,

no complaints, none really.

Life however ti'snt quite life, 
bereft you,'ti'snt, not really.

say the word, 
halt the moon mid-stride, 
shut the night down.

just the trifling night, 
not the rest of life.

Bereft you, no bickerings, in life,

no complaints, none really.

Life however ti'snt quite life, bereft you,

'ti'snt, not really.

Woh Shyaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi.....KHAMOSHI

Woh Shyam much ajeeb thi

Lyrics : Gulzaar

Film: Khamoshi

Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi, yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai

Woh kal bhi paas paas thi woh aaj bhi kareeb hai ] 2

Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi

Jhuki hui nigaahon mein, kahin mera khayaal tha

Dabi dabi hansi mein ik, haseen saa gulaal tha

Main sochta tha, mera naam gunguna rahi hai woh -2

Na jaane kyon laga mujhe, ke muskura rahi hai woh

Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi

Mera khayaal hai abhi jhuki hui nigaah mein

Khuli hui hansi bhi hai, dabi hui si chaah mein

Main janta hoon, mera naam gunguna rahi hai woh

Yahi khayaal hai mujhe, ke saath aa rahi hai woh

Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi, yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai

Woh kal bhi paas paas thi woh aaj bhi kareeb hai

Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi

Strange was that evening, as strange as this one,

yesterday seems just as close as today is.

Strange was the evening.

In those bowed looks was hidden a thought of me,

In the curtailed laughs, was a hint of the color rose,

And Here I thought she'd hummed my name,

For no reason at all, I presumed she was all smiles,

Strange was the evening.

I believe in the bowed look is hidden,

A throaty laugh camouflaged by suppressed desires,

I know now for certain, she'd hummed my name,

My belief is she now accompanies me.

Srange was that evening, as strange as this one,

yesterday seems just as close as today is.

Strange was the evening.

Film: Namak Haraam

Lyrics: Anand bakshi

Music : RD Burman

Main Shaayar Badnaam

Ho Main Chalaa Main Chalaa

Mehfil Se Naaqaam

Ho Main Chala Main Chala

Main Shaayar Badnaam

Mere Ghar Se Tumko

Kuchh Saamaan Milega

Deewaane Shaayar Kaa

Ek Divaan Milega

Aur Ek Cheez Milegi

Tuta Khaali Jaam

Ho Main Chala Main Chala

Main Shaayar Badnaam

Sholon Pe Chalna Tha

Kaanto Pe Sona Tha

Aur Abhi Ji Bharke

Kismat Pe Rona Tha

Jaane Aise Kitne

Baki Chhodke Kaam

Ho Main Chala Mai.N Chala

Main Shaayar Badnaam

Rasta Rok Rahi Hai

Thodi Jaan Hai Baaki

Jaane Tute Dil Mein

Kya Armaan Hai Baaki

Jaane Bhi De Ae Dil

Sabko Mera Salaam

Ho Main Chala Main Chala

Main Shaayar Badnaam

A poet defamed, am I,

I retreat, I retreat,

Ineffectual at the conclave,

I retreat, I retreat,

A poet defamed......

Scattered about in my abode,

you'll chance upon these,

Artifacts of a crazed poet.

In a corner a broken couch,

And yet another belonging,

An empty broken wine glass.

I retreat, I retreat,

A poet defamed......

Walk on raging fires,

Sleep on a bed of thorns,

To my heart's content,

Cry over broken destiny.

Leave behind Millions of,

unfulfilled ideals & Dreams.

I retreat, I retreat,

A poet defamed......

This road she won't let go,

Hung on to the last bit of life,

What the broken heart yet nurses,

Desires unknown, uncherished.

Let me go o heart,

Bid me My final adieu.

I retreat, I retreat,

A poet defamed......

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye.....PYAASA

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye

Film: PYAASA 

Poet : Saahir Ludhianvi

Music : SD Burman

Yeh Mehlon, Yeh Takhton, Yeh Taajon Ki Duniya,

Yeh Insaan Ke Dushman Samaajon Ki Duniya,

Yeh Daulat Ke Bhookhey Rawajon Ki Duniya,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai.

Har Ek Jism Ghayal, Har Ek Rooh Pyaasi,

Nigahon Mein Uljhan, Dilon Mein Udaasi,

Yeh Duniya Hai Ya Aalam-e-Badhawasi,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai.

Yahaan Ek Khilona Hai Insaan Ki Hasti,

Yeh Basti Hai Murda Paraston Ki Basti,

Yahaan Par To Jeevan Se Hai Maut Sasti,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai.

Jawaani Bhatakti Hai Badakaar Ban Kar,

Jawaan Jism Sajtey Hain Bazaar Ban Kar,

Yahaan Pyaar Hota Hai Byopaar Ban Kar,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai.

Yeh Duniya Jahaan Aadmi Kuch Nahi Hai,

Wafa Kuch Nahi, Dosti Kuch Nahi Hai,

Yahaan Pyaar Ki Qadr Hi Kuch Nahi Hai,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai.

Jala Do Isey, Phoonk Dalo Yeh Duniya.

Mere Saamne Se Hata Lo Yeh Duniya,

Tumhari Hai Tum Hi Sambhalo Yeh Duniya,

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai?

Of palaces, thrones and crowns, this world,

Enemy of humanity, keeper of society, this world,

Ravenous for wealth, stuck in old norms, this world,

This world as is, of little value attained.

Each being is wounded, every soul unquenched,

Confused is their vision, with sorrow hearts drenched,

What kind of a world is this, full of insanity?

This world as is, of little value attained.

A plaything here, is man’s very existence,

Where communities diefy death each instance,

Cheaper here to perish than fight for a living,

This world as is, of little value attained.

Youth wanders about clad in apathy,

Beauty’s auctioned in the marketplace,

Emotions traded on the floor of mediocrity,

This world as is, of little value attained.

A world where a human is simply nothing,

Devoid of loyalties, friendships are absent,

Where love is a non-entity, all value bereft,

This world as is, of little value attained.

Burn it, raise it, into the ground, unto dust,

Rid me of the travails of this world,

T’isnt much of a world anyway, keep it!

This world as is, of little value attained.

Koi Jab Tumhaara....PURAB AUR PASCHIM

Film: Purab Aur Paschim

Lyrics: Indeevar

Music: Kalyanji-Anandji

Koi Jab Tumhaaraa Hriaday Tod De

Tadapataa Huaa Jab Koi Chhod De

Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye

Meraa Dar Khulaa Hai, Khulaa Hee Rahegaa, Tumhaare Liye

Abhee Tum Ko Meree Jarurat Nahee, Bahot Chaahanewaale Mil Jaayenge

Abhee Rup Kaa Yek Saagar Ho Tum Kanwal Jitane Chaahogee Khil Jaayenge

Darpan Tumhe Jab Daraane Lage, Jawaanee Bhee Daaman Chhoodaane Lage

Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye

Meraa Sar Zukaa Hai, Zukaa Hain Rahegaa, Tumhaare Liye

Koi Sharta Hotee Naheen Pyaar Me, Magar Pyaar Sharton Pe Tum Ne Kiyaa

Najar Mein Sitaare Jo Chamake Jaraa, Buzaane Lagee Aaratee Kaa Diyaa

Jab Apanee Najar Mein Hee Girane Lago, Andhero Mein Apane Hee Ghirane Lago

Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye

Yeh Deepak Jalaa Hai, Jalaa Hee Rahegaa Tumhaare Liye

When piecing together,

Your broken heart,

In no mans land,

Unlov’d, distraught.

Solace, my love,

Such times you'll find,

In the shelter I am,

Unlock’d, unbound.

Am puny this instant,

To your suitors flock,

As blossoms unfurl’d,

To your infinite charms,

Yet youth, she’ll give slip,

As the tell all mirror snap.

Solace, my love,

Such times you'll find,

In my gaze steadfast,

Unlock’d, unbound.

Love's like the wild wind,  

Not used to being reign’d,

Shimmerful your starry eyes,

Till paled by the piety flame.

When Darkness then does engulf,

Upon failing those flailing rules,

Solace, my love,

Such times you'll find,

In my glow for you,

Unlock’d, unbound.

Yaa Dil Ki Suno....ANUPAMA

Kaifi Azmi

Yaa Dil ki sunon, 

Film: ANUPAMA, 

director: Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Ya Dil Ki Suno Duniya Waalon

Ya Mujh Ko Abhi Chup Rahane Do

Mai Gam Ko Khushi Kaise Keh Do

Jo Kahate Hain Unako Kahane Do

Ye Phool Chaman Mein Kaisaa Khilaa

Maali Ki Nazar Mein Pyaar Nahi

Hasate Hue Kya Kya Dekh Liya

Ab Bahate Hain Aansoo Bahane Do

Ek Khwaab Khushe Kaa Dekhaa Nahi

Dekhaa Jo Kabhi To Bhool Gaye

Manga Hua Tum Kuch De Naa Sake

Jo Tum Ne Diyaa Wo Sahane Do

Kyaa Dard Kisi Ka Lega Koi

Itana To Kisee Mein Dard Nahi

Bahate Hue Aansoo Aur Bahe

Ab Ayesi Tasali Rahane Do

Hark o denizens, a song of the heart,

Or the ignominy of an unsung chord,

Can't ever endorse sorrow for  mirth,

Those who do I wont bother stop.

Yet unwittingly a bud did blossom,

Beneath a caretaker’s gaze, negligent,

Witness’d aplenty, ruefully wrongs,

A million tears, of its shed in torrents.

Dreamt of happiness not even once,

Slip'd from memory, all happenstance,

Ever denied, whatever it couraged ask,

Bore the yoke, of every following task.

Fallacy the thought of absorbing sorrows,

The depth's absent, inadequate shallows,

Unleashed many a tear yet unhindered,

Retaining the solace in them unfettered.
