Sajdaa - My Name Is Khan

Playback - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shankar Mahadevan & Richa Sharma

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics -Niranjan Iyengar

My Name is Khan - the movie that brought together one of the most magical onscreen pairs of Shahrukh Khan & Kajol after a span of 10 years post Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (and now there's an animated version - Koochie Koochie Hota Hai in the pipeline!).

Drama, controversies, politics, democracy and freedom of speech - it all preceded the release of the film!

Shifting focus to the song, Sajdaa is one of my favorite tracks from this album and is filmed during the wedding scene of Rizwan Khan (SRK) and Mandira (Kajol - looks fab!).

It's got this whole Sufi feel to it and an in depth and soulful voice to it presented by Richa Sharma whose claim to fame was the song from Taal called Ni main samajh gayi..

Love the instrumental in between verses.. and just the whole feel of the song!

It's all about surrendering yourself in honor of the one you love..

Love the lines..

teri kaali akhiyone se jind meri jaage
dhadkan se tez daudoon sapnon se aage
ab jaan lut jaye yeh jahaan chhoot jaye
sang pyaar rahe main rahoon na rahoon

sajdaa tera sajdaa
din rain karoon naahi chain karoon
sajdaa tera sajdaa

And ofcourse.. the video's nice too.. watch it here:
