Laree Choote - Ek Chalis Ki Last Local

Playback - Xulfi (pronounced as Z dono why it's spelt with an X)

Music - Sandesh Shandilya

Lyrics - Mehboob, Ankur Tewari

Love the violon music with which this song starts and also throughout the song! Sounds really nice.

Though, this song has strong lyrics and a lot of meaning. More in terms of how life can change in a few moments.. it can change your destiny and that's why he says at some point in the song.. Jhoot hai to mujhko na jaga..

In the song specifically, it's about how so many people come to Mumbai city to make a living with big dreams.. and how life suddenly is on the fast track because of the turn that certain events take in life.

But life goes on...

The entire song's actually very well written.. so here goes:

woh kehte hai na
jo hota hai achche ke liye hota hai
galat kehte hai
kismat ka khel hai saara
phirta tha main aawaara
yeh kya se kya ho gaya
chaar din ki zindagaani
har pal ek nayi kahaani
kya tha, main kya bana gaya
kya huva jo laaree chhooti
jivan ki gaadi looti
kwaab hai toh mujhko na jaga
zindagi ek pal mein saali
yuun palat gayi hamaari
zhoot hai toh mujhko na bata
mumbai, suna tha yahaan aadami puri zindagi apani kismat
slow track se fast track laane mein nikaal deta hai
par dhaayi ghante mein meri kismat
aise slow track se fast track par aa jaayegi
yeh maine kabhi socha nahi tha
saja maja ban jaayegi, yeh bhi kabhi socha nahi tha
last local kya chhuti, saala kismat patari par aa gayi
karlo jo bhi karna hai
hota hai jo hona hai
gujra toh pal yeh phir na aayega
kya bura hai kya bhala hai
waqt hi shaayad khuda hai
ho jaane do phir dekha jaayega
kya huva jo laaree chhooti
jivan ki gaadi looti
kwaab hai toh mujhko na jaga
zindagi ek pal mein saali
yuun palat gayi hamaari
zhoot hai toh mujhko na bata
woh kehte hai na
jo hota hai achche ke liye hota hai
sahi kehte hai
jivan ki gaadi looti
