Of old memories, hidden in a song

Mr.R and I spent the better half of the afternoon thrilled with our discovery of www.musicindiaonline.com . All our favorite oldies in one place! With lyrics!

I would say 'Tere Bina Zindagi' from Aandhi is one of my all time favorite Hindi songs. It's so full of nostalgia, regret, what if's.... The lyrics have a hidden passion and I savour the poetry as I hum along...I remember writing a poem once, after hearing the song for the nth time. The song has that kind of an effect on me. If you love it too, sing along.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi

Kaash aisa ho tere qadmo se, chun ke manzil chale aur kahi door kahi - 2
Tum gar saath ho, manzilo ki kami to nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi

Jee mein aata hai, tere daaman mein, sar jhuka ke hum rote rahe, rote rahe - 2
Teri bhi aankho mein, aansuo ki nami to nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi

Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat, chaand doobega nahi, raat ko rok lo -2
Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki to nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi

  1. MW! I love this song too...one of the few old songs that I can relate too.
    BTW, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, is a MUST MUST READ. One of my favourites. Get a hold of it as fast as you can :P

  3. @ Ray: The old 'Pyaasa' had some haunting songs too, my favorite being 'Jane woh kaise log the..' Do you mean the same one or some other? Hope you're not referring to the new 'Pyaasa'with Yukta Mookhey and co! :)
