Lyrics from a song that have impressed you - Page 56

Last night I fell asleep to this gem.. the lyrics were written by Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal Emperor, when he was in exile ..he wrote it as an epitaph for himself while imprisoned :(

Naa kisii kii aankh kaa nuur huun-2

Not the light of any one's eyes

Naa kisii ke dil kaa qaraar huun

Not the solace for any one's heart

Jo kisii ke kaam na aa sake

of no use to anyone

Main vo ek musht-e-gubaar huun

I am that one fistful of dust

Naa kisii kii aankh kaa nuur huun
Not the light of any one's eyes

Main nahin huun naghma-e-jaan feza

I am not the song infusing of life

Koii sun ke mujh ko karega kya

Why would anyone want to hear me

Main bare birog ki huun sada

I am the sound of separation

Main bare dukhon ki pukaar huun

I am the wail of much distress

Meraa rang ruup bigaR gayaa

My complexion and beauty is ravaged

Meraa yaar mujh se bichaR gayaa

My beloved is parted from me

Jo chaman khizaan se ujaR gayaa

The garden that got ruined in autumn

Main usi ki fasl-e-bahaar huun

I am the crop of its spring

Naa kisii kii aankh kaa nuur huun

Not the light of any one's eyes

Naa to main kisii kaa habiib huun

I am neither anyone's friend

Naa to main kisii kaa raqiib huun

Nor am I anyone's rival

Jo bigaR gayaa vo nasiib huun
The one that is ruined, I am that fate

Jo ujaR gayaa vo dayaar huun

The one that is destroyed, that land

Pae faatihaa koi aae kyuun

Why should anyone come to sing a requiem

Koi chaar phuul chaRhaae kyuun?

Why should anyone come to offer four flowers

Koi aake shamaa jalaae kyuun
Why should anyone come to light a candle

Main vo bekasi kaa mazaar huun

I am the tomb of that destitution

Naa kisii kii aankh kaa nuur huun-2
Not the light of any one's eyes

Just stop your crying

It's a sign of the times

Welcome to the final show

Hope you're wearing your best clothes

You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky

You look pretty good down here

But you ain't really good

Hmm, how's the music in Pakistani films? :)

Also, going off-track here, do you speak like a dialect, or is it plain normal Urdu?

Which Sa re ga ma pa season ? :D ..(you don't have to say) I loved Sa Re Ga Ma Pa during Hemachandra-Mohd Irfan, Lil Champs (one with baby Armaan Malik) and Aneek-Raja Hasan-Sumedha-Amanat Ali-Mauli seasons.. I was in 6-7th grade and don't remember well but used to watch every week. But those 3 seasons were a blast! :) Even Indian Idol! :)

music i listened to is mostly pop music. since i did not follow the movies much so not into songs as well

i dont remember now but it was mauli one....amanat was there. indian idol had karynua sandeep who passed away. i was her because of that..yes i too was in 6-7th but decade not grade lol

i have classic urdu accent ...

These three songs are very close to me, due to their music rhythm and also due to their meaningful word-lyrics, and kinda " Paan khaaye saiyya Hamro " ..... Or,.. " Piya aiso jiya mein samaay gayo re,... " kinda Mujara format,..... and very unique and " Hat Ke" in their Formats n' Category,...

.

Can't have enuff after listen them a plenty of times in my car,...

.

I wonder, why these three songs did not became that famous what they should be,.... ! Perhaps they were from sidetracked, non-famous movies,.. just like, " Bambayi se aaya mera Dost " from aap ki khatir,...... aur,...... " Hari Om Hari " , from Pyara Dushman !

Have a hearing and Give them da Justice !

.

1. Morcha : Dil dena hai,... aaj hi de do,....... Kis ko pata kal kya hoga,... ( Voice of Usha )

2. Chowki No. 11 : Kahin ho na mohallle mein halla,..... Kevadiya na katka naa,...

3. Shradhaanjali : Saiyaa Doli ke aaye tere dwaar,..... Sabere le ke jaayenge,... ( Shobha Gurtu, a unique voice - who are tired of Lata and aasha.. )

==============

In India, Whenever any marriage is over,..... Or,... during the Saptpadi's Saat Fere procedure, there remains two party in division ,... n' dey sitting opposite to each other - Groom side and Bridegroom side and they start singing exciting and almost fighting mood, lagna geet, commonly known as " Fataana " !

.

In Bolly movies, at many occasions,... many such songs / Qawallis came and go,....

Such as,... ( from top of my head )

.

Mughal E Azam - Teri mahefeel mein kismat aajma kar hum bhi dekhenge,..

.

Huam aap ke hai kaun - O Larki ki saaliyo hare duppatee waaliyon,... O Larke ke devar tum dikhlaaO naa Tevar,..

.

Krodhi - ( Shashi-Zeennat ) Larki tumhari Kunwari raje jaati,.. maano hamara Ahesaan,.. ki Larki ne haan kar di,...

.

Dhool ka Phool ( Rajendra Kumar - Mala sinha ) Tere pyaar ka aasra chahta hun,...

.

Bobby - Main maike chali jaaungi, tum dekhte rahiyo,...

.

Dharma aur Kanoon - ( Rajesh aur Dharam ) - Badi door se aaya Banna Re,... par Banni naa bole,..

......... and, many others that you remember,.... B U T,... lesser than this,...

.

in 1976, in movie Noor E IIlahi, da evergreen Qawalli came and it topped all da records,...till today,.... ( Yusuf aazad and Rashida Khatoon ) In

Bada Lutf thaa,... jab kunwaare the hum-tum,,..... I still Remember my days of 1978 , when I got my first Tape Recorder and I was dieing to record this full song , first,..

.

.

^ Copying above Qawwalli,.. somewhere in mid 70s, in Gujarati films an another similar song had gained da ground,...

.

Chhodi kai Dahaada Nu Painu-Painu karti Ti !

.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVcotuIUrTQ

.

Lyrics remain Ultra-beautiful,.................. N' Joy !

.

Kaisi hai yeh doori, kaisi majboori

Meine nazron se tujhe choo liya

Oh ho ho Kabhi teri khusboo

Kabhi teri baatein

Bin mange yeh jahan pa liya

Tu hi dil ki hai raunak,

Tu hi janmo ki daulat

Aur kuch na janoo

Bas itna hi janoo

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai

Yaara mein kya karu

I Like the end piece of lagan lagi tumse mann ki lagan....sometimes i sing this part

Pa Da Sa Re Ga Re Re Sa

Pa Da Sa Re Ga Re Re Sa

Ma Ga Re

Pa Da Sa Re Ga Re Re Sa

Pa Da Sa Re Ga Re Sa

Pa Ma Ga Re Sa

Pa Da Sa Re Ga Re Re Sa

Sa Re Ga Ma

Ma Ga Dha Pav Sa Ni Dha Ni Dha Pa

Dha Pa Ma Pa Ma Ga

Ya.. Sandeep's passing was a shock.. Karunya still sings here in Telugu industry, although, not much for films but he keeps singing for some shows :) I wonder where Mauli is..

Nice.

Hope your weekend went well Hippo 😃
