Alvida – Life in a Metro

Life in a Metro (wiki, IMDB) is about lives of people trapped in Mumbai. I will say trapped because thats how you feel when you are in Mumbai.

If you happen to live in Mumbai, and don’t feel trapped, you are living in an illusion, a matrix and sooner you wake up, better it is for you.

Coming back to Metro, although all the songs in the album are must have on any ipod, Alvida is my favorite. There are two versions, slower one by KK (my favorite singer) and a faster one by James (Bangaldeshi Singer/Composer). Even though its favorite KK vs relatively unknown James, I prefer the faster one. You want to cry with the song when you here James sing it. It pains just to listen to his voice. You can relate to pain and suffering.

KK proves yet again why is he the maestro of high pitched songs. I have heard him sing live and hes a magician. And as a person, he is as charming and down to Earth as anyone can be. Got lucky when I spent some time with him at my college fest in 2006.

Here are the lyrics …
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Sayeed Quadri

Full Lyrics

Chupke se kahin, dheeme paaun se
jaane kis tarah, kis ghadi
aage badh gaye, humse raahon mein
par tum toh abhi thi yahin
kuch bhi na suna, kab ka tha gila
kaise keh diya alvida

Jinke darmiya gujri thi abhi
kal tak yeh meri zindagi
dono baahon ko, thandi chaanv ko
hum bhi kar chale alvida

Alvida, alvida, meri raahein alvida
meri saansein kehati hai, alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

Sunle bekhabar, yuun aankhein pher kar aaj tu chali jaa
dhundegi nazar humko hi magar har jagah
aisi raaton mein leke karvate, yaad hamein karna
aur phir haar kar kehna kyun magar, keh diya alvida alvida
koi puchhe toh zara, kya socha aur kaha alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

Hum the dil jale, phir bhi dil kahe
kaash mere sang aaj hote tum agar, hoti har dagar gulsitaa
tumse hai khafa, hum naaraaz hai, dil hai pareshaan
socha na suna tune kyun bhala keh diya alvida alvida
koi puchhe toh zara, kya socha aur kaha alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

kyun socha aur kahan alvida

dono baahon ko, thandi chaanv ko
hum bhi kar chale alvida

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

And text in bold hold a special significance for me .. !

KK – Pyar Kay Pal

Yesterday we had the farewell party for our senoirs and like all the parties at MDI, this one was also excellent.

when the party ended, I was sitting in front of the mess and somehow the DJ played PAL. I had to run to the floor and I stood with my ears to the woofers and speakers. The song is SEXY, the speakers were EXCELLENT and the DJ was AMAZING. He knew where to stop to music and where to give effects. It was awesome to listen to that song with so much energy behind it. I would recommnd everyone and anyone to atleast try listening it to once at full volume. I sang along it on top of my voice and after that I hardly was able to speak.

Here is my favorite song from my favorite singer…

Pyar kay Pal – KK

Hum, rahe ya na rahe kal,
Kal, yaad aayenge yeh pal,
Pal, yeh hain pyaar ke pal,
Chal, aa mere sang chal,
Chal, soche kya,
Chhoti si hai zindagi,
Kal mil jaaye,
to hogi khushnaseebi,
Hum, rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal…
Hum, rahe ya na rahe kal,
Kal, yaad aayenge yeh pal,
Pal, yeh hain pyaar ke pal,
Chal, aa mere sang chal,
Chal, soche kya,
Chhoti si hai zindagi,
Kal mil jaaye,
to hogi khushnaseebi,
Hum, rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal…

Shaam ka aanchal odhke aayi,
Dekho voh raat suhaani,
Aa likh de hum donon milke,
Apni yeh prem kahaani,

Hum rahe ya na rahe yaad aayenge yeh pal,

Aane waali subha jaane,
Rang kya laaye deewaani,
Meri chaahat ko rakh lena,
Jaise koi nishaani,

Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal,
Hum rahe ya na rahe kal,
Kal, yaad aayenge yeh pal,
Pal, yeh hain pyaar ke pal,
Chal, aa mere sang chal,
Chal, soche kya,
Chhoti si hai zindagi,
Kal mil jaaye to hogi khushnaseebi,
Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal
Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal
