A haunting Bollywood song-Pyar ko ho jaane do.....

 Sharing a song from an old Bollywood Hindi movie (Dushman, 1998) that stands out especially because of its haunting piano music tunes at the start and throughout the song. For some reason, every time I have heard this song, it continues to mesmerize me..As I do not know what chord/ music notations is used, I would think it must be some musical notation in it that is so divine that something about the tunes/chords of this song continues to remain immortal. The song features the actor Sanjay Dutt (playing role of a Major who is blind), who helps (and falls in love) the actress Kajol who is set out to take revenge of her twin sister who was killed. 

Although the actor (Major) in the movie is blind, he still manages to help the actress seek her justice and proclaim his love to the actress. Sometimes, I wonder, those who have eyes that see, still choose to remain blind..something like the poetry of Meer Taqi Meer who says that the whole garden knows, yet the rose is oblivious...

(I was getting reminded of the sher: "patta patta boota boota haal hamaara jaane hai

jaane na jaane gul hī na jaane baaġh to saara jaane hai"- Meer Taqi Meer)


Anyhow,

the video song is available here:

Pyar ko ho jaane do (Dushman 1998) - Sanjay Datt - Kajol

Also, I found the piano instrumental of it here: Pyar Ko Ho Jaane Do | Instrumental

(I have not found an authentic piano instrumental of this song online that does justice to the song though)

Shayaris Collections from Web-IX

 Sharing collection of selected shayris that are so beautiful:


1.

किया बादलों में सफ़र ज़िंदगी भर

ज़मीं पर बनाया घर ज़िंदगी भर

 

सभी ज़िंदगी के मज़े लूटते हैं

आया हमें ये हुनर ज़िंदगी भर

 

मोहब्बत रही चार दिन ज़िंदगी में

रहा चार दिन का असर ज़िंदगी भर

— Anwar Shaoor

"itna bikhra hoon ki ikhatta nahin hone wala

ab tujhe choo ke bhi acha nahin hone wala

 

zindagi khol de zanjeer mere paanv ki

mujhse ab aur tamasha nahin hone wala

 

itna royi hai tere hijr mein zindaa ankhein

ab kisi laash pe girya nahin hone wala

 

dekh chupchaap palat ja mere acche Isa

yeh vo murda hai jo zinda nahin hone wala

 

dukh yehi hai ki meri saans pe kaabiz huwa shaqs

kuch bhi ho jaye vo mera nahin hone wala"

"dil itna kho gaya araishon mein

teri khwahish nahin khwahishon mein

 

hamari rooh ghut ke mar gayi hai

hamare jism ki gunjaishon mein

 

hum apne qatl ka zimma kise den

hai saara shehr hi farmaishon mein

 

teri yaadein hain aur ansoon hamare

chitayein jal rahi hain baarishon mein"

--Ibrahim Ali Zeeshan

“marti huyi zameen ko bachana pada mujhe

baadal ki tarah dasht mein aana pada mujhe

 

vo kar nahi raha tha meri baat ka yaqeen

phir yoon huwa ki mar ke dikhana pada mujhe

 

us ajnabi se haath milaane ke vaaste

mehfil mein sabse haath milana pada mujhe

 

bhoole se meri samt koi dekhta na tha

chehre par ek zakhm lagana pada mujhe..”

-Hassan Abbasi

"agar barsaat ka mazaa lena chahte ho

to in ankhnon mein aa baitho

vo barson mein kai baar barasti hain

ye barson se baras rahi hain..."

 

 

6.

हासिल हुई है रोशनी आँखों को हार कर

मंज़र कसे है दीद ने उम्मीद मार कर

 

जितनी हमें मिली है ज़रूरत से कम मिली

देखी है हमने ज़िंदगी अब तक गुज़ार कर

 

बिखरा पड़ा है जिस्म का सामान जिस्म में

हमने बस एक दिल ही रखा है सँवार कर

 

सच जानते हुए भी भरम पालता हूँ मैं

रोकेगा कोई अजनबी मुझको पुकार कर.

---- प्रिन्स जैनपीयूष

 

7.

"दिल मोहब्बत में मुब्तला हो जाए

जो अभी तक हो सका हो जाए

 

तुझ में ये ऐब है कि ख़ूबी है

जो तुझे देख ले तिरा हो जाए

 

ख़ुद को ऐसी जगह छुपाया है

कोई ढूँढे तो लापता हो जाए

 

मैं तुझे छोड़ कर चला जाऊँ

साया दीवार से जुदा हो जाए

 

बस वो इतना कहे मुझे तुम से

और फिर कॉल मुंक़ता' हो जाए

 

दिल भी कैसा दरख़्त है 'हाफ़ी'

जो तिरी याद से हरा हो जाए"

-Tehzeeb Haafi

"na haath milaya na gale mile,

na mayassar aapki deed huyi

ab aap hi bataiye jaana

ye Qayamat hui ki Eid huyi?"

"khud apni ki qabron mein utar kyun nahi jaate

zinda hi nahin log to mar kyun nahi jaate

jab toot gaye hain to bikharna hai zaroori

jab toot gaye hain to bikhar kyun nahi jaate.."

-Azhar Iqbal

"zindagi beshumaar raste hain

khud ko mujhse guzaar raste hain


ek rasta hai sirf masjid ko

maikade ko hezaar raste hain


qafila mar raha hai sunne ko

bol de shah-sawaar raste hain


ishq ne hi kahan tha Musa ko 

ho jaa darya ke paar raste hain


is ilaake main ek shayar hai

isliye saugawaar raste hain"

kaash koi yeh bhi poochta ki tujh pe kya beeti hai..."

"vahi nasha purana chahta hoon

tumhe paakar bhulana chahta hoon


mere andar to sab bikhra pada hai

magar mausam suhana chahta hoon


vo reh reh kar rawana ho raha hai

jise yekdum gavana chahta hoon


samundar mein vo gehraai nahin hai

main jitna doob jaana chahta hoon


tumhe apni kami mehsoos ho to

main tumko yaad aana chahta hoon.."
