Lyrics….

I heard this song from a bollywood film Dhamaal, the lyrics are:

“Miss India marti mujhpe
Shaadi karna chahti mujhse
karti hai pareshan
Kya karu meri jaan
Miss world hai meri khaas
Par time nahi mere paas
Miss India ko maine choda
Dil uska jo maine toda
Miss Universe meri khaas
Par time nahi mere paas
daulat mein aur sab kuch mein
Main sirf main hoo no1
sach hai, Maan le
Duniya ke saare No1 mere ghar mein jhaadu dete hai
Sach hai, maan le
Mercedes se mein sabzi mangata hoo
apne kutton ko plane se ghumata hoo
der na kar meri chand pe party hai
Kal Taj Mahal ke saude mein
Mujhe milna hai Minister se
Sach hai, maan le
haha, wo to maine khareed rakha hai
Jannat ki deal pakki hai
Sach hai, maan le
Arre chod yaar
Jaipur palace ko maine rent par rakha hai
5 star hotel to mere ghar se chota hai
abhi der na kar mujko chand khareedna hai”

When I heard the song for the first time I was literally
laughing, I actually liked these lyrics, strange, cos I’m an admirer of chaste Urdu and I like the classic lyrics of Mughal-E-Azam, and also these 2 songs from one of my favorite films – ‘Razia Sultan’

This song was sung by Kabban Mirza, its sad that he only sang 3 songs in his entire career and 2 of those are from this film..  the voice is mesmerizing, I like it very much.  The lyricist was Jan Nisar Akhtar, im too small to even appreciate this kind of work… its simply great!

“aaii zanjiir kii jhanakaar Kudaa Kair kare
dil huaa kisakaa Giraftaar Kudaa Kair kare
jaane yah kaun merii ruuh ko chhuukar Guzaraa
ek qayaamat huii bedaar Kudaa Kair kare
lamhaa merii aankhon mein khiinchaa jaatii hai
ek chamakatii huii talvaar Kudaa Kair kare
Kuun dil kaa na chhalak jaae kahiin aankhon se
ho na jaae kahiin izahaar Kudaa na kare”

This one, sung by Lata the great has amazing lyircs, it carries a very deep meaning and It just goes to show the kind of understanding the guy had of human emotions…  I’m struggling to find the name of the lyricist for this song, probably its Jan Nisar Akhtar since its from the same movie

“Choom Kar Raat Jo Sulaayegi To Neend Aayegi
Khwaab Ban Kar Koi Aayega To Neend Aayegi
Ab Vahi A Ke Sulaayega To Neend Aayegi
Khwaab Ban Kar …
Baat Jo Sirf Nigaahon Se Kahi Jaati Hai
Koi Honthon Se Sunaayega To Neend Aayegi
Khwaab Ban Kar …
Narm Zulfon Ki Mahak Garm Badan Ki Khushabu
Chupake Chupake Vo Churaayega To Neend Aayegi
Khwaab Ban Kar …
Jism Haathon Ki Haraarat Se Pighal Jaayega
Aag Rag Rag Mein Lagaayega To Neend Aayegi
Khwaab Ban Kar…”

Id like to add this one by Jan Nisar Akhtar-

“ashaar mere yuuN to zamaane ke liye hain,
kuchh sher faqat unako sunaane ke liye hain”

It means
Although my poems are meant for the whole world,
There are some couplets meant just for the beloved 

And to end it ill add one by Mirza “Assem” Ghalib

Hai aur bhi duniya mein programmer bahut ache 

Kehte hai ki “Assem” ka hai Andaz-e-programming aur!
