Ab Mere Paas Tum Aayee Ho / अब मेरे पास तुम आये हो

Thank you for sharing the beauty of your voice and spirit with the world, Jagjit Singh. You will be missed.



ab mere paas tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho
maine maana ke tum ik paikar-e-raanaee ho
chaman-e-daher mein rooh-e-chamanarayee ho
tallat-e-meher ho firdaus ki barnai ho
bint-e-mehtaab ho gardoo se utar aayee ho
mujhse milne mein abandesha-e-ruswaayee hai
maine khud apne kiye ki ye saza paayee hai
ab mere paas tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho

un dino mujpe qayamat ka junoon taari thaa
sar pe sarshaari-o-ishrat ka junoon taari thaa
maahpaaron se mohabbat ka junoon taari thaa
shehri yaaron se raqabat ka junoon taari thaa
bistar-e-makhmal-o-sanjaab thee duniya meri
ek rangeen-o-haseeN khwaab thee duniya meri

kya sunogi meri majrooh jawaani ki pukaar
meri fariyaad-e-jigar doz mera lala-e-zaar
shiddhat-e-kard mein doobi huyee meri guftaar
main ke khud apne mazak-e-tarabgee ka shikaar
wo gudaaz-e-dil-e-marhoom kahan se laaoon
ab mein wo zazba-e-masoom kahan se laaoon
ab mere pass tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho

By Jagjit Singh, with lyrics by Majaz, from the album The Best Of Kahkashan.

One More Dance

One More Dance by Mumzy Stranger, produced by Rishi Rich Productions, is fresh and addictive. Definitely worthy of a few listens and views, and a buy on iTunes or elsewhere, this song was a big summer song in the UK, in 2009...

A Super Thanks to RR for the official lyrics, below:

Verse 1

Do you remember the day girl,

When we were dancing away girl,

You never told me your name no,

I can't believe that I let you go,

Bridge

Now I see you again,

thinking this could happen,

Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,

Maybe this is something,

That you just ain’t feeling,

But I got to know...

Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,

Gimmi one more dance,

Just gimmi one more dance,

Gimmi one more dance,

Verse 2

I got this feeling you want me,

From your eyes I can see that you’re ready,

This could be something amazing,

For you and me what you saying...

Bridge

Now I see you again,

thinking this could happen,

Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,

Maybe this is something,

That you just ain’t feeling,

But I got to know...

Double Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,

I just want you know girl,

Gimmi one more dance,

Your the one that want girl,

Just gimmi one more dance,

Let's rendezvous ooh girl,

Gimmi one more dance...

The value of this song, and its video, will take you by surprise. It's all in the details. In the song, it's Mumzy's range-y tenor and tender phrasing, the melody's complex percussive quality, the choral arrangement, and the mix, with a bass-supported dance beat running over Asian-inflected digital percussion, that make the difference. In the vid, it's charm of Mumzy and the lady he dances with, the body language and looks, the dancing itself, the camera angles, lighting, special effects, editing, and initial concept on which the video was built. Excellent production values for sound, video and marketing, are part of the Rishi Rich Productions approach.

na hai yeh paana
na khona hi hai
tera na hona jaane
kyun hona hi hai
tum se hi din hota hai
surmaiye shaam aati hai
tum se hi
tum se hi
har ghadi saans aati hai
zindagi kehlati hai
tum se hi
tum se hi
na hai yeh paana
na khona hi hai
tera na hona jaane
kyun hona hi hai

aankhon mein ankhein
teri
baahoon mein baahein
teri
mera na mujhmein kuch raha
hua kya
baaton mein baatein
teri
raatein saugatein
teri
kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya
main kahin bhi jata hoon
tum se hi mil jata hoon
tum se hi
tum se hi
shor mein khamoshi hai
thodi si behoshi hai
tum se hi
tum se hi

aadha sa wada
kabhi
aadhe se jayada
kabhi
jee chaahe kar lu is tarah
wafa ka
chhode na chhoote
kabhi
tode na tute
kabhi
jo dhaga tum se jud gaya
wafa ka
main tera sarmaya hoon
jobhi main ban paya hoon
tum se hi
tum se hi
raaste mil jaate hai
manzile mil jaati hai
tum se hi
tum se hi
na hai yeh paana
na khona hi hai
tera na hona jaane
kyun hona hi hai

Tell Me Why

(Why, why, why, why?)

(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.

September 11th
I woke up about 7AM
West Coast time,
French toast and my
turkey bacon,
taking my time awakin',
turning my TV on,
to my surprise
saw what everybody in the world saw.
Me and my children,
images were chillin',
my son said, 'Daddy, were there people in that building?'
A cold sweat,
frozen, with a lump in my chest,
I heard his question,
couldn't bring my lips to say 'Yes' to 'im.
That night at my son's side,
he cried and prayed
for the ones who died in the World Trade,
his palms to God,
seeds of qualms with God.
He just kept on pressin' me,
wanna know why.
Then, one week later,
our bombs were dropped,
we seein' them
on CNN,
they just won't stop
the infrared images
of brutal attack.
He said, 'Daddy, now we killin' em back.
Right? Right?'

(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.
(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry.

Souls are captured,
dreams are stolen,
hearts are broken,
evil blatantly rewarded.
Hate surrenders,
love exalted,
hope elated,
negativity is shorted.

Honest to God,
why is the bomb always gettin' the last word?
And why did her uncles have to molest her?
And why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill?
And why did all them priests have to act so ill?
Tell me, why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched?
Tell me, why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us?
Tell me, why did that sniper make the little boy shoot?
And why is human life always denied for loot?
Tell me, why did Mandela have to live in a cage?
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age?
Tell me, why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate?
And why the fuck can't love seem to defeat hate?
Tell me, why is it so hard for all the children to eat?
Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street?
Tell me, why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way?
Please,
what am I supposed to say to my kids,
when they say,
'Why?'
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.
(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.

Can't explain it baby,
life is just really crazy.
I mean if it's world wars
or the life of a little baby,
we got more stores
than they got rice under Buddha lazy.
You live four scores
and still it be driving you crazy.
But for me,
I try to see the bright side.
Sometimes it'd be like
the goodness be tryin' to hide,
be tryin' to flee,
but it can't,
it's deep inside.
Sweetie,
you be the light for others,
make 'em believe in God.

Souls are captured,
dreams are stolen,
hearts are broken,
evil blatantly rewarded.
Hate surrenders,
love exalted,
hope elated,
negativity is shorted.

Yeh Kahan Mil Gaye Hum / यह कहाँ मिल गए हम

yeh kahan mil gaye hum
yeh kahan mil gaye hum
asman bhi
lo has diya
yeh kahan mil gaye hum
yeh kahan mil gaye hum
asman bhi
lo has diya
har nazara bhi
khil gaya
parbatonke raaste
rasto pe hum
chahto ke waste
chahto me hum
chal mere sanam

yeh kahan mil gaye hum
yeh kahan mil gaye hum
shayad ruthega
sara jahan
gum ke chayegi
woh badaliyaan
bahakega ye jahan
saath honge hum
aaye na woh duriyan
paas honge hum
chal mere sanam

duniya se hai bhala ye sama
diware dale na darmiyaan
dilwalon ke liye hai saja
dekho na
fulonse mehka gulsitan

gungunati hai hava
saath gaye hum
dolgi nadi jahan
bahte jaye hum
chal mere sanam

mana hai pyaar ye jahan
tumpe thahare fir bhi nigah
dil mera tarta hai yahan
har lamha
tumko na chodu jane ja
pass mere aao tum
yaar har janam
jism badalenge magar
ruh wahi sanam
chal mere sanam

yeh kahan mil gaye hum
yeh kahan mil gaye hum
