What are your top 5 of Gulzar?
Gulzar, is a name synonymous with some of the best songs of Bollywood. Being an erstwhile fan of his songs, I wish to put down in a list, what I feel are his best songs. It is not easy to do so, as with all other similar kinds of lists, but I am gonna have a go at it. So here we are friends with the top 15 poems, which have been penned by Gulzar.
1) Hamne Dekhi hai in aankhon - Khamoshi. This song is one that really moves me. The lyrics, the music everything. The lyrics are amazing from the word go.. 'hamane dekhii hai in aankhon kii mahakatii khushabuu haath se chhuuke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do sirf ehasaas hai ye ruuh se mahasuus karo pyaar ko pyaar hii rahane do koii naam na do' Isnt it amazing, what these
words are conveying. Awesome. 2) Ae zindagi Gale lagale : Sadma ;Another awesome song, sung with gusto by Suresh Wadkar... 'chhoTaa saa saayaa thaa, aankhon men aayaa thaa hamne do boonndo se man bhar liyaa, hamako kinaaraa mil gayaa hai zindagii.' Songs like these are classics my dear friends..
3) Bole Re papi hara - Guddi _ This song I have included, for the sheer listening pleasure. Vani Jairam has indeed done a marvelous job here.
4) Chod aaye ham - Maachis. This film had some amazing songs.And the song I have mentioned has amazing lyrics. Even two lines like the one mentioned below, conveys a whole lot of things 'jahaan terii eDii se, dhuup udaa karatii thii sunaa hai us chaukhaT pe, ab shaam rahaa karatii hai'
5) Dil Dhoondta - Mausam. Amazing lyrics, amazing rendition of the song. My most favorite para here is the last one that goes as follows - 'barfiilii sardiyon mein kisii bhii pahaad par * 2 vaadii mein goonnjtii huii khaamoshiyaan sunen aaNkhon mein bhiige bhiige se lamhe liye hue'
6) Ek Akela is shaher - Gharonda. Once again a moving rendition of this amazing song by Bhupinder. Amazing lyrics as usual, that strike straight at your heart. 'din khaalii khaalii bartan hain, aur raat hai jaise andhaa kuNvaan in suunii andherii aaNkhon mein, aaNsU kii jagah aataa hain dhuNvaan jiine kii vajah to koI nahiin, marane kaa bahaanaa DhuuNDhataa hai'
7) Hamko Man ki shakti Dena - Guddi. This is an amazing prayer written for the film. What amazes me is the sheer power conveyed through the song. It says the most amazing thing, which we ignore most of the times. This is what I like best about this song - the mukhada. 'hamako manakii shakti denaa, mana vijaya karen duusaronkii jaya se pahale, khudakii jaya karen '
8) Huzur is kadar bhi na - Masoom. This playful song was set beautifully by R.D.Burman, and sung equally teasingly by Bhupinder and Suresh Wadkar. The lyrics are cool. Sample this - 'koI manachalaa gar pakaD legaa aaNchal zaraa sochiye aap kyaa kijiyegaa lagaa dein agar badhke zulfon mein kaliyaaN to kyaa apanii zulfen jhaTak diijiyegaa'
9) Mera Kuch saamaan - Ijaazat. The wholse song is sheer poetry. Just Listen.
10) Tujhse naaraz nahi - Masoom. Just a fabulous song here jiine ke liye sochaa hii na thaa, dard sambhaalane honge muskuraauuN to, muskuraane ke karz uThaane honge muskuraauu.N kabhii to lagataa hai jaise honThon pe karz rakhaa hai
11) Tum Pukar Lo - Khamoshi. This song is so cool.Sung by Hemant Kumat, the words are just great. The first antra is so fab...listen 'honTh pe liye hue dil kii baat ham jaagate rahenge aur kitanii raat ham muqtasar sii baat hai tum se pyaar hai tumhaaraa intazaar hai, tum pukaar lo '
12) Woh sham kuch ajeeb - Khamoshi. This film did have gems didnt it? this is yet another gem. And the words are just to be listened to. Nothing to explain, nothing to talk about. Just listen - dilse.
13) Aaap Ki aankhon me kuch - Ghar : This is a great duet song. Kishore and Lata have excelled here to do full justice to this song. Take a look at thi antra, specially the last line..just too much 'lab hile to mogare ke phuul khilate hai.n kahii.n - 2 aap kii aa.Nkho.n me.n kyaa saahil bhii milate hai.n kahii.n aap kii khaamoshiyaa.N bhii aap kii aavaaz hai.n'.
14) Is mod se jaate hain - Andhi. This was a cool film, great performances, and the songs were amazing. This is one such song. Check out these lyrics.. 'aaNdhii kii tarah uDakar ik raah guzaratii hai * 2 sharamaatii huii koii qadamon se utaratii hai in reshamii raahon mein ik raah to vo hogii tum tak jo pahunchatii hai is moD se jaatii hai is moD se jaate hain'
15) Maine Tere Liye - Anand . I just love this song.In fact I love all songs from this film. An amazing film this. Just check out these lyrics.. 'chhoTii baatein chhoTii chhoTii baaton kii hai yaadein baDii bhuule nahiin biitii huI ek chhoTii ghaDii janam janam se aaNkhen bichhaaI tere liye in raahon mein' Each song here is a gem..
