ijazzat..some songs i love

 


Ijazzat..this movie starring rekha ,Naseeruddin Shah , Anuradha Patel was artsy to say the least ..a love story for the thinking ,sans the glitz, glamour and the cheesily choregraphed songs but with a lot of depth and chutzpah ....I was only 10 when I first heard the songs,much too young to understand the haunting melodies and the rivetting lyrics ...I know I appreciate the songs better today ..


And ofcourse did I mention what a lethal combination Asha Bhonsley's voice ,R.D Burman's music and Gulzar'slyrics make .......here the lyrics to the 2 songs i like most

Katra katra... (picture Rekha in her inimitable style lipsynching to this song ..)

katra katra milti hai
katra katra jeene do
zindgi hai, bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyasi rahne do

Tumne to aakash bichhaya
mere nange pairo main zameen hai
dekhe to tumhaari aarzoo hai
shayad aisi zindagi haseen hai
aarzoo main bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyaasi rahne do

Mera kuch samaan (the lovely anuradha patel leaves a note at naseer's place and this is what she has to say )

Mera kuch saamaan tumhare paas pada hai -2
o o o ! saavan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhe hain
aur mere ik khat main lipti raat padi hai
vo raat bhulaa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2
mera kuch saamaan tumhaare paas pada hai - 2

patjhad hai kcuh ... hai na ?
o ! patjhas main kuch patton ke girne kee aahat
kaanon main ek baar pahan ke laut aai thee
patajhad kee vo saakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
vo saakh gira do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek akeli chhataree main jab aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe the - 2
aadhe sookhe aadhe geele, sukha to main le aaye thee
geela man shayad bistar ke paas pada ho
vo bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do

ek so sola chaand ki ratain ek tumhare kaandhe ka til - 2
geeli mahendi ki khushbu, jhoot mooth ke shikwe kuch
jhooth mooth ke wade sab yaad karaa do
sab bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek ijaazat de do bas, jab isako dafanaaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee

hmm...now I'm humming these tunes and feel transported back in time..feels good:)
