I saw this movie the other day, and it spread the most amazing feeling in me! Wonderful movie and top notch acting from both the leads! Awesome!

This led to thoughts in me, and there is this one song, namely Khumari chaddh ke utar gayi, which has the most amazing lyrics. In general Ghazals have a wonderful meaning to them, and they are explained in the most simplest of the forms, but this song in particular always gives me a wonderful feeling!

The best part in it is:

Logon ko aksar dekha hai
ghar ke liye rote hue,
ham toh magar beghar hi rahe
gharwalon ke hote hue.
Aaya apna nazar nahi,
apni jahaa tak nazar gayi...

and

Pehle toh ham sun lete the,
shor mein bhi shehnaaiya.
ab toh hamko lagti hai,
bheed mein bhi tanhaaiya.
jeene ki hasrat kidhar gayi,
dil ki kali bikhar gayi...


Wonderful meaning trapped in short and sweet sentences! This isn't a very well known song from Jagjit Singh, nonetheless its my favourite! And yes, the music is just apt. Its from the movie Umar, which has a good score in general (Ok, I just wanted to use the word score.. :P )
