All time high-May

April showers bring May flowers... its that time of the month - time to post the all-time high for the month of May! And I offer this...



From the movie Bazaar. While I found the movie itself quite heavy and depressing, the songs are each a masterpiece, brimming with meaning and tune. Music by Khayyam, sung by stalwarts such as Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Aziz and Bhupinder. There are also two songs sung by Jagjit Kaur, wife of Khayyam.

Lyrics for this eternal song go thus :

karoge yaad toh, har baat yaad aayegi
guzarte waqt i, har mauj theher jaayegi

ye chaand beete zamaanon ka aaina hogaa
bhatakthe abr mein chehra koi banaa hogaa
udaas raah koi daastana sunaayegi

barasta bheegta mausam dhuaan dhuaan hoga
pighalti shammon pe dil ka mere gumaa hoga
hatheliyon ki heena, yaad kuchh dilaayegi

galee ke mod pe, soona sa koi darawaaza
tarasti aankhon se, rastaa kisi ka dekhega
nigaah door talak, jaa ke laut aayegi
