Gazal from Gandalf

Forgotten! Liked yet forgotten.

Got bored of all the songs on my system.Vaibh pointed to “Gandalf”, the server which also serves our entertainment hunger apart from the technical dependencies.

And there in kluelessdong internal reporter’s (past: klulessdong campaign manager’s) folder we found a treasure. An amazing Jagjit singh’s gazal which I loved, but somehow never persisted.

It’s not a typical one, !heavily loaded with Urdu words .It’s cute & simple to understand for aam junta.

Notice the way "bhool gaye " is used in 3rd and 4th line.I am loving it.
"Gun gunarahein hai hum,woh do liney ghadee ghadee".

Jab Saamnay Tum Aa Jaate Ho
(Duet Asha &Jagjit)
Debut music album of Riya Sen.

Here it goes.............................................

Aaina dekh ke bole yeh sanwarne wale
Ab to be-maut marenge mere marne wale

Dekhke tumko hosh mein aana bhool gaye
Yaad rahe tum aur zamaana bhool gaye

Jab saamne tum, aa jaate ho
Kya jaaniye kya ho jaata hai
Kuchh mil jaata hai, kuchh kho jaata hai
Kya jaaniye kya ho jaata hai

Chaaha tha yeh kahenge
Socha tha socha tha woh kahenge
Aaye woh saamne to, kuchh bhi na keh sake
Bas dekha kiye unhein hum

Dekh kar tujhko yakeen hota hai -2
Koi itna bhi haseen hota hai
Dekh paate hain kahan hum tumko dil kahin hosh kahin hota hai

Aa kar chale na jaana, aise nahin sataana
De kar hansi labon ko, aankhon ko mar rulaana
Dena na beqaraari dil ka karaar ban ke
Yaadon mein kho na jaana tum intezaar ban ke, intezar ban ke

Bhool kar tumko na jee payenge -2
Saath tum hogi jahan jayenge
Ham koi waqt nahin hain hamdam
Jab bulaaoge chale aayenge
jab saamne tum
Haa haa jab saamne tum, aa jaate ho
Kya jaaniye kya ho jaata hai
Kuchh mil jaata hai, kuchh kho jaata hai
Kya jaaniye kya ho jaata hai

No fun in reading the lyrics? Then Listen to it. The words take a new meaning when given some sur & taal. Those who are not impressed with the audio can try the video.
