So Jaaoon Main / सो जाऊं मैं (from Woh Lamhe)

so jaaoon main magar
mere khwaabon mein aaon
mere khwaabon mein aaon
ko jaaoon main magar
meri yaadon mein aaon
meri yaadon mein aaon
jaagi nazar mein soyi nazar mein
har pal sanam tum jhilmilaaon
so jaaoon main magar
mere khwaabon mein aaon
mere khwaabon mein aaon
ko jaaoon main magar
meri yaadon mein aaon
meri yaadon mein aaon

meri khushi mein shaamil raho tum
iss zindagi mein shaamil raho tum
yun toh hai laakhon armaan dil mein
mehfil mein jaan-e-mehfil raho tum
hothon se mere
shaam savere
yun sanam tum muskuraaon
so jaaoon main magar
mere khwaabon mein aaon

ban ke sitara aankhon mein chamko
in aati jaati saanson mein mehko
bas jaaon aake tum meri jaan mein
dil ban ke mere seene mein dhadko
tum mujhko chaho
bas mujhko chaho
saare jahaan ko bhul jaaon
so jaaoon main magar
mere khwaabon mein aaon
mere khwaabon mein aaon
ko jaaoon main magar
meri yaadon mein aaon
meri yaadon mein aaon
jaagi nazar mein soyi nazar mein
har pal sanam tum jhilmilaaon
so jaaoon main magar
mere khwaabon mein aaon
mere khwaabon mein aaon
ko jaaoon main magar
meri yaadon mein aaon
meri yaadon mein aaon

Kehta Hai Baabul / कहता है बाबुल (from Baabul)

kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya
kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya

daakiya koi
jab aayega
tujhko churaake
le jayega

katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiungaa kaise tanhaa
tere bina bata
katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiungaa kaise tanhaa
tere bina bata

tu suhagan rahe sang saajan rahe raat din
is khushi ke liye har sitam main uthaa loonga
tere jaane ka gham mujhko hoga magar laadli
leke is dard ko main sada muskuraaunga

baabul to dil se de raha dua yahi
khushi ke saaye mein ho zindagi teri
baabul to dil se de raha dua yahi
khushi ke saaye mein ho zindagi teri

waqt ke saath zakhm ye bhar jayega
pal guzar jaayega tu meri baat maan le
yaadon ke aasre umr katati nahin
hai haqiqat yahi, ab tu jaan le

sumundaron ka paani koi na pi saka
akela khaara jivan koi na ji saka
sumundaron ka paani koi na pi saka
akela khaara jivan koi na ji saka

kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya
kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya

daakiya koi
jab aayega
tujhko churaake
le jayega

katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiunga kaise tanha
tere bina bata
katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiunga kaise tanha
tere bina bata

Aaj Ki Raat / आज कि रात (from Don - The Chase Begins Again)

shaam hai, jaam hai, aur hai nasha
tan bhi hai man bhi hai pighla hua
chhayi hai rangeeliyan
phir bhi hain betabiyaan
kyun dhadakta hai dil, kyun yeh kehta hai dil
deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

do ghadi mein hi yahan jaane kya hoga
jo hamesha tha mera bhi mera hoga?
kaun kiske dil mein hai faisla hoga
faisla hai yahi jeet hogi meri
oh deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

aao main tumse kahoon baat chupke se
rang badlegi pal mein raat chupke se
tumko le jaaonga phir saath chupke se
jaaoge tum kahan, dekho main hoon yahan
deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

Beedi / बीडी (from Omkara)

If anyone can help with the complete lyrics for Beedi from Omkara, I'd be very, very grateful -- this is a fantastic song by Vishal Bharadwaj with lyrics by Gulzar, that deserves to be available as text. My Hindi is still not good enough for me to do it myself, and no one else has written this song up completely, so far. If you can help, send me email (check my profile for addie), or write a comment on this post. I'll be sure to give you credit here, when the complete text is up.

these incomplete lyrics for Beedi are from http://www.indiafm.com/lyrics/song/51462/index.html

Check Ankur Jain's blog for his Aug 2006 Archive, where you can find his lyrics for Beedi.

agar tum mil jao

bina tere koyi dilkash nazara hum na dekheinge
bina tere koyi dilkash nazara hum na dekheinge

tere dil mein raheinge tujhko apna ghar bana lenge
tere dil mein raheinge tujhko apna ghar bana lenge

agar tum mil jao
zamana chod denge hum

tumhe hum apne jism-o-jaan mein kuch aise basa lenge
tumhe hum apne jism-o-jaan mein kuch aise basa lenge
teri khushboo apne jism ki khushboo bana lenge
khuda se bhi na jo toote

A Thousand Years

A thousand years, a thousand more,
a thousand times a million doors to eternity.

I may have lived a thousand lives,
a thousand times, an endless-turning stairway climbs
to a tower of souls.

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
the towers rise to numberless floors in space.

I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
a million names, but only one truth to face.

A million roads, a million fears,
a million suns, ten million years of uncertainty.

And I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
a million rights, a million wrongs, in this balance of time.

But if there was a single truth, a single light,
a single thought, a singular touch of grace,
then following this single point, this single flame,
the single haunting memory of your face.

I still love you.
I still want you.

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head.

I may be numberless, I may be innocent,
I may know many things, I may be ignorant,
or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands,
or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands.
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times,
reborn as fortune’s child to judge another’s crimes,
or wear this pilgrim’s cloak, or be a common thief.
I’ve kept this single faith, I have but one belief.

I still love you.
I still want you.

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head.

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves,
eternities still unsaid
’til you love me.

Book of My Life

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days,
and it may be the trick of the firelight,
but the flickering pages that trouble my sight
is a book I'm afraid to write.

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life,
and it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife,
and it's all there to see as the section reveals
there's some sorrow in every life.

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze,
and I won't understand 'til the end of my days,
I'm still forced to remember, remember the words of my life.

There are promises broken and promises kept,
angry words that were spoken when I should have wept,
there's a chapter of secrets and words to confess,
if I lose everything that I possess.

There's a chapter on loss, and a ghost who won't die,
there's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry,
there are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.

Though the pages are numbered, I can't see where they lead.
For the end is a mystery no one can read, in the book of my life.

There's a chapter on fathers, a chapter on sons
there are pages of conflicts that nobody won,
and the battles you lost, and your bitter defeat,
there's a page where we fail to meet.

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned,
there's a chapter on god that I don't understand,
there's a promise of Heaven and Hell, but I'm damned if I see.

Though the pages are numbered, I can't see where they lead.
For the end is a mystery no one can read, in the book of my life.

Now the daylight's returning.
If one sentence is true,
all these pages are burning, and all that's left is you.

Though the pages are numbered, I can't see where they lead.
For the end is a mystery no one can read, in the book of my life.

aaye hain is tarha do raahein
tu hi to hai raah jo sujhaye
tu hi to hai abh to jo yeh bataye
chaahe to kis disha mein jaaye wahi des

yeh jo des hai tera
swades hai tera
tujhe hai pukara
yeh woh bandhan hai
jo kabhi toot nahin sakta

Lyrics by Javed Akhtar, music by AR Rehman (AR Rahman), from the film Swades

Whenever I Say Your Name

Whenever I say your name,
whenever I call to mind your face
whatever bread's in my mouth,
whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
whenever your memory feeds my soul,
whatever got broken becomes whole
whenever I'm filled with doubts
that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down,
wherever I put my head to sleep
whenever I hurt and cry,
whenever I got to lie awake and weep
whenever I kneel to pray,
whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's gonna change
Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name, Whenever I say your name,
I'm already praying, I'm already praying
I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down,
wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
whenever I hurt and cry,
whenever I got to lie awake and weep
whenever I'm on the floor
whatever it was that I believed before
whenever I say your name,
whenever I say it loud,
I'm already praying

Whenever this world has got me down,
whenever I shed a tear
whenever the TV makes me mad,
whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
whenever those dark clouds fill the sky,
whenever I lose the reason why
whenever I'm filled with doubts
that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuse to shine,
whenever the skies are pouring rain
whatever I lost I thought was mine,
whenever I close my eyes in pain
whenever I kneel to pray,
whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall
whenever I'm vulnerable and small
whenever I feel like I could die
whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I say your name,
I'm already praying, I'm already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth,
whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
wherever I lay me down,
wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
whenever I hurt and cry,
whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
whenever I'm on the floor
whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name,
whenever I say it loud,
I'm already praying

Whenever I say your name,
no matter how long it takes,
one day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name,
let there be no mistake
that day will last forever

Tu Jahaan / तू जहाँ (from Salaam-Namaste)

tu jahan main wahan
sang sang yuhn chaloon tere
jaise tera aasmaan
tu jahan main wahan
sang sang yuhn chaloon tere
jaise tera aasmaan

jo dhoop nikli chaaya ban jaaonga
jo ho tu akeli saaya ban jaaonga
jo uljhan mein ho mann main behlaoonga

tum aa gaye ho to jeena aaya hai
khushiyon ka tumne yeh jaal bichaya hai
khoya hai khudko ya sabh kuch paaya hai

tu jahan main wahan
sang sang yuhn chaloon tere
jaise tera aasmaan

ho ghum ke badal mujhpe tham jaane de
bechainiyo ko mujhse takraane de
dukhti ho koi baat mujhpe aane de

dil sochta tha ke koi apna ho
koi raaz na ho jo usse rakhna ho
aankhein na kholoon main shayad sapna ho

tu jahan main wahan
sang sang yuhn chaloon tere
jaise tera aasmaan
