Kyun apne ap se...

Was just surfing around, when I came across this trailer of Sudhir Mishra's next "Khoya Khoya Chand". I liked the title song that was used in the trailer, so hunted down the entire song. This song grows on you the more you listen to it. I never had a ear for the "qawwali" genre, but this one blows off. Two other songs "O Re Paakhi" and "Thirak Thirak" are good too. Shantanu Moitra gives some intense music here after Parineeta.

Aj shab jo chand ne hai roothne ki than li
Gardisho mein hai sitare baat humne maan li
Andheri shayh zindagi ko sujhi thi nahi gali
Ki ek aaj haath tham moye haath ki kami khali

Kyun khoye khoye chand ki firak mein talash mein udas hai dil
Kyun apne ap se khafa khafa zara zara sa naraz hai dil
Yeh manzilee bhi khud hi tai karein,
Yeh faslein bhi khud hi tai karein,
Kyun to raston pe phir sehem sehem sambhal sambhal le chalta hai yeh dil

The lyrics are amazing, though I don't understand all this Urdu, hopefully Quadir will help :)
