Some Songs and their meanings for me

Songs... anybody and everybody's companion... when u are happy you listen to them; when you are sad, you listen to them; when you wanna dance you listen to them; when u wanna sleep, even then you listen to them. And there is a song for each and every mood you experience. No matter which genre of songs you prefer, you always have one for every occassion.

Hindi songs are my all time favorites. May be because I relate to them more. There are some songs that have touched me with their lyrics. So here are a few of my favorite Hindi lyrics that have a deep impact on me...

... Pal Na Ruke Ek Pal Ke Liye
Jeeta Rahe Pyar Kal Ke Liye
Kare Koi Sitam, Mile Koi Sazaa
Dil Bhule Nahin Kabhi Pehli Wafa
So Haare Na Himmat, Kare Sab Woh Haasil
Yeh Dil Ka Musafir, Chala Ja Raha Hai...

(this is from a song named - Kaahin toh milegi, mohabbat ki manzil)

This particular stranza has always impressed me. Pehli wafa or First True Love - the most genuine emotions you can ever experience. There may be many infatuations which you may mistake as Love, but you just know when it is true. The whole feelings is so different.... and perhaps one day, it just fades away... but no matter what, you can never forget it.

...Jis Haath Mein, Ek Haath Hain
Us Haath Ki, Kya Baat Hain,
Kya Faasle, Kya Manzilein,
Ek Humsafar, Gar Saath Hain,
Bigdi Kismat Ko Yun Jo Sawnar De
Wohi Toh Dil Daar Hain, Yaar Mere

(this is from the famous song, Sach Mere Yaar hain, from SAGAR)

Wonderful feeling it is to have a true "humsafar" who can just make your journey so desirable even with its numerous ups and downs. But do we always give importance to their existance? may be not...n then they just drift away...n then you are probably back to the journey alone...

...Kal Ki Baatein Bhul Ja
Guzri Raatein Bhul Ja
Khwab Jo Sach Ho Sake Na
Unki Yaadein Bhul Ja...
...Jo Na Hare Bewasi se
Na Kare Shikwa Kisi Se
Raaz Yeh Jana Usi Ne
Zindagi Kya Hai Zindagi...

(from the famous song, Kya Khabar Kya Pata, Kya Khushi Hai, Gum Hai Kya)

This is probably the best way to let go off the past and move forward, in life...but in reality, can we??? This also reminds me about so many other songs on "Zindagi" - indeed its a big question...what is this "Life" that we are so possessive about... we keep chasing it all the time...try to make it better all the time...and one day, it leaves us quietly, n then all our efforts are gone down the drain... Philosophy, isnt it?

Kiska Raasta Dekhein,
Ae Dil Ae Saudaai
Milon Hain Khamoshi, Barson Hain Tanhaai,
Bhulee Duniya, Kabhi Ki, Tujhe Bhi, Mujhe Bhi
Phir Kiski Yaad Aayee...

Now this is the song of the ultimate loner... and its true...we have come in this owrld alone, will go from here alone (unless we are the victim of some terrorist activity where many die together)...but here while we are at it, we look for companions... friends, relatives, life partner etc etc... We forget that none of those relations are permanent...n in todays world, all the more not...

I know I am spreading a lot of negativity. But I have really realized that nothing in this life is permanent... everything is dellusion... even "true Love" is...
