Music and Lyrics

Music, directly or indirectly is part of everyone's life. Every one looks at it from ones own point of view. Some like the lyrics, some the background...the whole package to others.

While Music is important part of me, I confess, I am not a lyrics man. But there are some of my favourite songs, where there are brilliant lyrics. Those 2 - 3 lines mean the whole song to me. I would like to share a few, let me know what you think about it.

I think there are two such lines in every song, which define a song to you. To me, these two lines and the music of it make a song.


Ghulam Ali,
Chupke Chupke ....


Khench le na voh mera parde ka kona daffatan - 2
Aur dupatte se tera voh munh chhupaana yaad hai
Humko ab tak aashiqui ka voh zamaana yaad hai
Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai

Jagjit Singh - 

Tum itna jo Muskura rahe ho...

Rekhaon Ka Khel Hai Muqaddar

Rekhaon Se Maat Kha Rahe Ho

Jhuki Jhuki si Nazar -

teree ummeed pe thhukaraa rahaa hoo duniyaan ko

tuze bhee apane pe ye ayetabaar hain ke naheen 

Aapne Hoton pe Sajana chahata hoon - 

Aakhri hitchki tere zaano pe aaye

Maut bhi mai shaayerane  chahata hoon..

aapne hotope sajana chahata hoon

Swanand Kirkire -

Bavre Se Is Jahan Main Bavra Ek Saath Ho

Is Sayani Bheed Main Bas Haathon Mein Tera Haath Ho

Bavri Si Dhun Ho Koi, Bavra Ek Raag Ho

Bavri Si Dhun Ho Koi, Bavra Ek Raag Ho

Bavre Se Pair Chahen, Baavron Tarano Ke, Bavre Se Bol Pe Thirakna.

Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna
