![]() ![]() Rekha’s panache backed by Asha’s sultry voice makes this the most alluring songs of Bollywood. Way before degrading item songs took over Bollywood with their sheer vulgarity in the name of erotica, there was this song that seduced the entire country with sheer grace and elegance. It might have gotten lost in translation through the times, but this beautiful ghazal sang very accurately about melancholia when it was still a foreign concept. This is for those times when the delicately crafted smiles to hide the pain underneath dwindles into a silent cry of despair: when people see right through you attempts at saving the world from your misery. Jhuki jhuki si nazarĬontemplating the depth of emotions bottled by a person, Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar is a plea to let go of them to live a little more freely. Kishore’s idiosyncratic voice brings life to the lyrics, making it one of the most memorable songs from Bollywood. Only the opening tune gets our mood up and preppy. There is hardly any Indian who can claim to have not grooved to Yeh Shaam Mastaani. The frailty of humans and their empty words are brought under scrutiny through Mohammed Rafi’s heart-breaking voice. It questions the human nature and greed at its core. The timeless song about broken promises, and changing people still resonates within the people. There is a certain calmness about letting go and surrendering to the free form of the days, and this feeling is beautifully captured in this song. ![]() When you live as a wanderer, letting yourself go with the flow of nature, Musafir Hoon Yaaron rings in the mind. ![]() ![]() Reminding you to keep grounded, this song will bring you right down to the harsh, inescapable reality. Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaateĪ beautiful ballad about the withering of precious things that are lost with the flow of life: be it friendships or relationships, everything is irrevocably forgotten, or trampled upon by the steady progress of time. O saathi re, tere bina bhi kya jeenaĪ song which seemingly is an assortment of the different ways in which a man broke down because of the loss of love, is really a silent plea for apology. With the preppy music accompanying the inherent sadness of a lonely woman, the contrast is heart wrenching. In a song about the romantic weather and the welcoming nature, you can’t miss the loneliness that is laced through the voice that is searching for someone to share it with. This beautiful song is a subtle letter about slowly descending the steps of insanity with the weight of love that transcends the being, but still remains unrequited. This one is for those who are looking for place and a new reality. Lata and Rafi’s soulful voices compliment each other beautifully, and when Lata’s charming voice sings Hum bhi tayyar hai chalo, it makes you want to get up and escape this place too. A song that invokes the wonders as it makes us dream of escaping the harshness of the world. ![]()
