Aashaayen – Iqbal

Nagesh Kukunoor is one of the few people I like in Bollywood. Rockford still remains my favorite movie, I can watch it umpteen number of times. One of his other movies is Iqbal and there is a track by KK called Aashaayen …

Singer: KK + others
Lyrics:

aashaayen …
aashaayen …
kutch paane ki ho aas aas
kutch armaan ho jo khaas khaas
aashaayen …
har koshish mein ho waar waar
kare dariyao ko aar paar
aashaayen …
toofano ko chir ke
manzilo ko chin le
(aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi) – 2

o ho o…

udd jaaye leke khushi
apne sang tujhko waha
jannat se mulakat ho
puri ho teri har dua
(aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi) – 2

aashaayen …
gujre aaisi har raat raat
ho khwaahisho se baat baat
aashaayen …
lekar suraj se aag aag
gaaye ja apne raag raag
aashaayen …
kutch aaisa karke dikha
khud khush ho jaaye khuda
(aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi) – 2

o ho o…

teri woh raftaar ho
roke se bhi tu na ruke
haasil kar aaisa shikhar
parbat ki bhi nazrein uthe
(aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi) – 2
aashaayen – 3
