Ab hai saamne, ise chhoo loon zara, mar jaaun ya jee loon zara..



Sonu Nigam after a long time recites a song that has made people mad about him once again. If not people, at least me. And the song does deserve the attention it seems to be getting right from day one. It has not just good music and superb singing, the lyrics of the song are lovely too.

Interestingly, Ajay-Atul, the composers of the song, have relied a lot on the melody of the song and Sonu's singing, not giving much heavy music here, while some of the restricted beats remind me of some A R Rahman songs sung by Sonu only, I guess close to Des ki Mitti (Bose - The Forgotten Hero).

As for Sonu, he ranges from the sweet and simple in the beginning to almost bursting the heart out when he comes to the 'ab hai saamne, ise chhoo loon zara' part of the song. In fact he has the particular lines sung at higher and lower pitches than the normal as well, with the antaras.

Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics look simple, though he goes Gulzar-ish with touching a moment, making it almost tangible. However other than that, lyrics are all simple but quite moving with the way Sonu sings it.

The lyrics and translation for the song can be found in THIS POST.

O Saiyyan/ Sehme Hue Sapne Mere: Lyrics, Translation (Agneepath)



Movie: Agneepath
Music: Ajay-Atul
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Roop Kumar Rathod

Meri adhoori kahani
lo daastaan ban gayi
o tune chhua aaj aise
main kya se kya ban gayi


My incomplete story,
has finally become a (complete) story..
You touched me today such that
I became all different..

sehme hue sapne mere haule haule angdaiyaan le rahe,
thehre hue lamhe mere nayi nayi gehraiyaan le rahe,
zindagi ne pehni hai muskaan
karne lagi hai itna karam kyun na jaane..
karwat lene lage hain armaan phir bhi
hai aankh nam kyun na jaane
o saiyyan


My afraid dreams are slowly stretching..
my stopped moments are taking new depths..
my life is wearing a smile,
and I don't know why it's showing so much compassion..
my wishes have started twisting n turning but-
don't know why, my eyes are still wet..
O my love..

odhun teri kaaya
solah singaar main saja loon
sangam ki ye raina
is mein tyohar main mana loon
khushboo teri chhoo ke
kastoori ho jaaaun
kitni pheeki thi main
sindoori ho jaaun
sur se zara behki hui
meri duniya thi badi besuri
sur mein tere dhalne lagi
bani re piya main bani baansuri


I wear your body,
should decorate (myself with all) sixteen adornments..
this night of meeting,
I wish to celebrate a festival in this..
I wish to touch your fragrance,
and become musk,
how pale I was,
I wish to be like vermillion,
a little diverted from right notes,
how inharmonical my world was..
I started molding to your tune,
I became a flute, o love..

zindagi ne pehni hai muskaan
karne lagi hai itna karam kyun na jaane..
karwat lene lage hain armaan phir bhi
hai aankh nam kyun na jaane
o saiyyan

mere aasmaan se
jo hamesha gumshuda the
chand taare
tumne gardishon ki
lay badal di
laut aaye
aaj saare..

O saiyyaan..


from my sky
those who were always missing
the moon and stars,
you changed
the tune of haze (can say clouds here)
and they all came
back today..

O my love...

Aayi Chikni Chameli: Lyrics, Translation (Agneepath)



Movie: Agneepath
Music: Ajay-Atul
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Shreya Ghoshal

Bichhoo mere naina badi zehereeli ankh maare
Kamsin kamariya saali ik thumke se lakh maare
Note hazaaron ke, khulle chhutta karaane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi chillam jalaane aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi..


my eyes are like scorpions, they give a very poisonous wink..
this damned slender waist kills lacs with a jerk,
it has come to get change for notes of thousands,
(she) has come to light cigarettes n pipes with the matchstick of beauty..
the beautiful Chameli has come all alone in the hiding and drunk on a quarter..
the beautiful Chameli has come all alone in the hiding and drunk on a quarter..

Jungle mein aaj mangal karungi
Bhookhe sheron se khelungi main
Makkhan jaisi hatheli pe angaare le lungi main
Haaye! gehre paani ki machhli hoon Raja
Ghaat Ghaat dariya mein ghoomi hoon main
Teri nazron ki lehron se haar ke doobi hoon main


I'll do a magic* in the jungle
I'll play with hungry lions,
I'll take fireballs on my butter like palm,
Oh! I am a fish of deep waters o my dear,
I have roamed in all rivers**
I have drowned only after losing to the waves of your sight..

Hoye.. jaanleva jalwa hai
Dekhne mein halwa hai
Pyaar se paros doongi toot le zaraa
Yeh toh trailer hai poori filam dikhane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi-chilam jalaane aayi


Oh, this charisma is a killer,
(even though) it looks simple/halwa***,
I'll serve with love, just eat like anything..
this is the trailer, I have come to show the complete film..
she has come to light cigarettes n pipes with the matchstick of beauty..

aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pavva chadha ke aayi
ayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pauua chadha ke aayi..

Banjar basti mein aayi hai masti
Aisa namkeen chehra tera
Meri neeyat pe chadhke chhoote na hai rang gehra tera
Joban ye mera crajy hai raja
Saare pardo ko kaatungi main
Shaamein meri akeli hain aaja sang tere baatungi main
Haaye! baaton mein ishaara hai
Jisme khel saara hai
Tod ke tijoriyon ko loot le zara
Choom ke zakhmo pe thoda malham lagaane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi chillam jalaane aayi


in the barren street, fun has come,
so salty your face is..
your color is deep and doesn't go once comes on my intention
o dear, my youth is crazy
I'll cut all the curtains,
come, my evenings are lonely, will share them with you,
Oh, there is a sign in my talks,
in which all the game is there..
just break into the cash chest and loot it..
it has come to kiss and put a balm on the wounds..

aayi chikni.... aayi.

Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi..


Meanings / Notes:

* jungle mein mangal is something magically good, not literally magic
** ghaat literally is a river bank made to take a bath etc, but ghaat ghaat proverbially means everyhere, a nice use of the word here.
*** Halwa is an Indian dish, and also used proverbially for something very easy. Again a double use of the word

For the detail on the meaning of Chikni Chameli, see THIS POST.
