Song of Nostalgia...Kehte hain dil se.....

 

Sharing a song from a movie of the 90s..this song is so nostalgic as I remember listening to it recorded on a cassette back in those days when I was may be 12 or 14 years old, I used to have cassettes back then where I would get my favorite songs recorded and listen to them on the radio..this particular song was also one of them...

The lovely song can be heard here: Khate Hain Kasam Sadhana Sargam, Udit Narayan Prem Aggan 1998 Songs Fardeen Khan, Meghna You

(with the lovely view of the oceanside in the song)


I particularly adore the lyrics, especially where the heroine in the song explains how she would search for her beloved (here the charming hero Fardeen :)) and then in the next stanza, the hero explains how he would search for her...What I found deeply poetic but also it somehow reflects the deep levels of love each has for the other...Perhaps, the love of the hero transcends all and turns divine and spiritual..as he compares the search of love to that of the search for the Beloved/Khuda and the thirst for that spiritual union with the One God....

The lyrics of the dialogue between the hero and the heroine are here:


Heroine:

"Chaahat ki raah mein hum,

Dhoondenge tumko aise

Phulwa ko jaise bhanwara

Aashiq wafa ko jaise..


Hero:

"Hum bhi tumhe bata de…

Dhoondenge tumko kaise

Dariya ko jaise pyaasa

Banda khuda ko jaise.."


And I did the English translation that is as follows:

Heroine:

In the path of love, I

will search for you,

like the bee searches for the blossom,

like the lover searches for love


Hero:

Let me also tell you

how will I search for you...

like the thirsty search for the sea...

like the worshipper for God....

Interestingly, another song from the same movie is also very melodious and talks about the longing of love and worth listening to...

Here is the link: Tere Pyar Ki Aag Mein | PREM AGGAN | Fardeen Khan | Meghna Kothari | Feroz Khan | Remastered DTS HD

                                                                       Scene from the song

Its lyrics are very beautiful too, especially the following lines:

"jab ye duniya bani jane kis roop me

pyar hoke raha tha tera mera

jab ye duniya bani jane kis roop me

pyar hoke raha tha tera mera

jane jab or thi jism jab or tha

dil to tab bhi mila tha tera mera....


insan mohabbat ki khatir yaha

kayi roop badlta rahta hai

tere pyar ki aag me mera dil

din rat sulgta rahta hai

malum hua kyu seene se

dhua sa niklta rahta hai...."
