Ajj Din Chadheya - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Raahat Fateh Ali Khan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

A beautiful song, brilliantly sung with fantastic music is what sums up Ajj din chadheya..
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan somehow just brings magic to any song with his voice and it just catches on.. it may not be like a chartbuster number.. but his songs always linger.. In this song, it's all about how a lover is praying or talking to his lord above that..
Oh my good lord.. do something.. listen to my prayers also and give me the one I love..

Ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga
Phool sa hai khila aaj din
Rabba mere din ye naa dhale
Wo jo mujhe khwab mein mile
Usse tu laga de ab gale, tennu dil da vaasta
Rabba aaya dar de yaar de
Saara jahaan chhod chhad ke
Mere sapne sawar de
Tennu dil da vasta

It's a new day that has risen which has the glow of your face..
It's a day which is blossoming just like a flower..
And Oh lord, don't let this day pass, the person I met in my dream, you give them a hug, you have my heart's promise :)

Listen to my prayers and make my dreams come true..

Baksha gunaho ko
Sun ke duwao ko
Rabba Pyaar hai
Tune sab ko hi de diya

You forgave people's mistakes after listening to their prayers by giving them love..

Meri bhi aahon ko
Sun le duwao ko
Mujhko woh dila mene jisko hai dil diya

Listen to my prayers too and give me the one I love..

Manga jo mera hai
Jata kya tera hai
Maine kaun si
tujhse jannat manga li

I've asked for what is mine, what do you lose if you give it to me? Not like I've asked you for the universe :)

Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali

What kind of a lord are you.. is it just namesake that you couldn't do even this much..

Chahiye Jo mujhe
Kar de tu mujhko ata

Give me what I want..

Jeeti rahi saltanat teri
Jeeti rahe ashiqui meri

May you be oh so powerful always.. and my love always live..

Dede mujhe zindagi meri
Tenu dil da vasta

Give me my life.. you have my heart's promise..

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
Woh jo mujhe khawab mein mile
Use tu lagede abb gale
Tenu Dil da Vasta....

Oh I love this song :)

Khudaya Ve - Luck

Playback - Salim Merchant

Music - Salim-Sulaiman

Lyrics - Shabbir Ahmed, Anvita Dutt Guptan

The movie 'Luck' came and went.. decent starcast with Imran Khan and star child debutante Shruti Hassan & Sanjay Dutt amongst many others.. guess Luck didn't prove so Lucky indeed.

Khudaya Ve is a slow song with nice musical notes..(love the guitar piece). It's about how love can at times be awkward, painful and how relationships are as delicate as thread and sand in one's hand..

Song with a lot of meaning.. watch it here:

Pehli Baar Mohabbat - Kaminey

Playback - Mohit Chauhan

Music - Vishal Bharadwaj

Lyrics - Gulzar

Soft love song, slow, melodious notes and melody by Mohit Chauhan is what makes this song a hit on my list :)

It's about being in love for the first and last time..
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai, akhri baar mohabbat ki hai

It's about being in love and the moments of joy and togetherness spent.. be it good or bad .. happy or sad.. whether or not it makes sense :)

Khwaab Ke Bhoj Se Kap Kapaati Huyi
Halki Palke Teri Yaad Aata Hai Sab
Tujhe Gud Gudaana Sataana Yuhi Sote Huye
Gaal Pe Tipana Michana Bewajah Besabab
Yaad Hai Pipal Ke Jiske Ghane Saaye The
Hamane Gilhari Ke Jhoote Matar Khaaye The
Yeh Barqat Unn Hazrat Ki Hai
Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai, Aakhari Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai

Besides the lyrics, I love the high notes in between verses and the guitar music which gives a Rock/Metal kind of feel and just uplifts the song for the moment..

Nicely blended song I'd say.. must listen.. looking forward to watching Shahid, Priyanka and them in the movie.. Sad it ain't releasing in this part of the world just yet!

Nevertheless, Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai.. aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai.. listen to it here!
