From: Ashish Bokil Bahut humne chaahaa zaraa nee.Nd aaye !! Chhaaye thhe dil pe magar bebasi ke saaye !! Kyaa sach hai aur kyaa nahee, ye faislaa naamumkin naa sahee bahut mushkil zaroor hai... Agar chhoo dene bhar se sachchaai zahir ho jaaye to khayaal aur rooh bhee zinda ho jaaye.N !! Aksar khayaal dil ko chhoo jaate hain aur jazbaat rooh ko chhoo jaate hai.N... magar ye jism bhee to sachchaai nahee..... usey to ek naa ek din khatm honaa hi hai .. aur jo khatm ho jaaye usey to sachchaai nahee kehte !!!....... fir kaise sach ko jhooth se alag karen ???? kaunsaa raastaa ikhtiyaar kare.N ???? Jo aankhon dekhaa ho woh bhee hameshaa sach nahee hotaa sirf dimaagh ki khaamkhayaali hoti hai varnaa parchhaaiyaa.N bhee zindaa hoti..... jo dil maan jaaye woh bhee hameshaa sach nahee hotaa varnaa jazbaat bhee zindaa hote !!!!!!! Aksar is baat ko lekar dil aur dimaagh mai.N ladhaai ho jaati hai.... jeet kisi ki bhee ho.... haar to insaan ki hi hoti hai...... Dil ke jeetane se dimaagh main toofaan uthhathaa hai to.. to dimaagh ke jeetane se dil ashaant ho jaataa hai ..... bus yahee.N raat aur din ka fark khatm ho jaataa hai !!! Nee.Nd koso.N door bhaagti hai..... Khayaal kisi saaye ki tarah peechhaa karte hai.N ..... kahee.N koi ho yaa naa ho koi fark hi mehsoos nahee hotaa! Bas bheed hai to tanhaaiyo.N ki .............. A haunting prelude begins this song which is dominated heavily by Accoustic Guitar and a bunch of voilins. The effect of wind created by voilins is only enhanced by Asha's haunting voice and supported by lyrics speaking of shadows. The lyrics, very very Gulzarish, pertain to the falacies of the world. The lyrics do not suggest any personal sorrow but an understanding of the dismal ways of the world and the music does not make the song unnecessarily sad. Just an appropriate touch to emphasize the sad truth. Base Guitar is RD's forte !! Its not that only he used the base guitar, but its him who has used it in varied proportions and to give special effects to the accompanying percussion... ( while listening to Jaan-e-jaa.N.. dhhoondhtaa fir rahaa .. observe how percussion seems to follow ups and downs of the chords.. or in O mere Dil ke chain .......Its the magic of Base Guitar ... ) Here he uses it only as three twangs just before "ye saaye hai.N.." begins !!!! Talking about percussion, this song has a very nice variation of Keharvaa (8 matras or beats) .... The actual cycle completes itself in 16 matras....wherein first 8 matras are tabls dominated and the rest of the 8 are mostly guitar and chords dominated. Here, chords do not follow the whole cycle as they usually do in most of the songs !! But the most unusual aspect is the dominance of Spanish guitar in the beat cycle !! Asha Bhosle in "Sitaaraa" !! Ye saaye hai.N... ] a small accoustic guitar piece Ye duniyaa hai... ] after each of these lines !! Parchhaaiyo.N ki .... ] Its a difficult meter to fit in the Ye saaye hai.N... ] beat but afterall its RD :) Ye duniyaa hai ... bhari bheed main khaali bhari bheed main khaali tanhaaiyo.N ki.... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Yahaan koi saahil sahaaraa nahee hai ....... Kaheen doobne ko kinaaraa nahee hai ..... Yahaan koi saahil sahaaraa nahee hai ....... Yahaan saari Raunaq hai rusvaaiyoo.N ki A strange pattern is observed here !! ..... only first line is repeated and second line changes at the second repetition. Same pattern for the sthhaayi or mukhdaa !!!! Beat in the interlude is different from the beat diccribed earlier in the sense that cycle here completes in 8 matras .... and here cymbals and moroccus accompany the tabla. Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Parchhaaiyo.N ki .... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai ... Kaii.N chaa.Nd uthhakar jalaaye bujhaaye.... bahut humne chaahaa zaraa nee.Nd aaye..... Kaii.N chaa.Nd uthhakar jalaaye bujhaaye.... Yahaan raat hoti hai bezariyon ki ....... Is jagah raat ke kaii.N maayane hai.N .... raat yaane ashaao.N ki raat, toote hue sapne, being listless....., pessimism..... moon is not enuff to dispense the darkness that this "raat" brings !! this is a masterpiece that bespeaks Gulzar's way with words !!! Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Parchhaaiyo.N ki .... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai ... Yahaan saare chehare hai.N maa.Nge hue se ...... nigaahoo.N mai.N aa.Nsoo bhee taa.Nke hue se ..... Yahaan saare chehare hai.N maa.Nge hue se ...... Badee neechi raahey hai.N oo.Nchaaiiyo.N kii ..... All that is so fabulous and has attained heights of dignity has an underlying wickedness to it !! Aa.Nsoo.N tak sachche nahee hai .. sirf taanke hue button ki tarah aankhon main baithhaaye hue hain !!!! Har cheharaa naqli naqaab hai.. jise jo naqaab pasand ho uske saamne wahi naqaab daal liyaa !!! Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Parchhaaiyo.N ki .... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai ... bhari bheed main khaali bhari bheed main khaali tanhaaiyo.N ki.... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai... Ye saaye hai.N... Ye duniyaa hai ... Too good a song to miss !!! safar jaari hai !! ashish
