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
mere khwaabon mein aaon
ko jaaoon main magar
meri yaadon mein aaon
meri yaadon 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

By Aadesh Shrivastava, with lyrics by Sameer, from the film Baabul.

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

By Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy, lyrics by Javed Akhtar, from the film Don - The Chase Begins Again

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.

naa ghilaaf

thandi hawa bhi khilaaf sasuri
naa ghilaaf
naa lihaaf
thandi hawa bhi khilaaf sasuri
o kitni sardi hai kisika lihaal layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

beedi jalai le
jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai
beedi jalai le jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

dhua na nikari o lab se piya
ah haa
dhua na nikari o lab se piya
je duniya badi jhaag hai

o beedi jalai le jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

naa ghilaaf
naa lihaaf
thandi hawa bhi khilaaf sasuri
o kitni sardi hai kisika lihaal layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

naa kasoor
naa fatoor
naa kasoor

bina juram ke hujoor

aise ek din dupaheri bulai liyo re
baandh ghungru kacehri lagai liyo re
bulai liyo re
bulai liyo re
dupaheri
lagai liyo re
lagai liyo re
kacehri

angethi chadahi le
jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai
beedi jalai le
jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

na toh chakkua ki dhaar
na daraati na kataar
na toh chaa-kua ki dhaar
na daraati na kataar
aisa kaate ke daat ka nisaan chod de
je kataai to koi bhi kisaan chod de
o aise jaalim ka chod de makaan chod de
re billo
jaalim ka chod de makaan chod de
aise jaalim ka
o aise jaalim ka
aise jaalim ka chod de makaan chod de

na bulaya
na bataya

mhane neend se jagaya hai re
aisa chaukail haath mein naseeb aa
woh elaichi khilai ke kareeb aa gaya

koyla jalai le
jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

kitni sardi hai kisi ka lihaaf lei le
o jaa padosi
o jaa padosi
jaa jaa padosi
o jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

O Saathi Re / ओ साथी रे (from Omkara)

o saathi re din dube na
o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

o saathi re din dube na
thaka thaka suraj jab nadi se hokar niklega

hari hari kaayi pe paanv bada toh fislega

tum rok ke rakhna main jaal giraaun

tum pith pe lena main haath lagaaun
din dube na ha
teri meri atti patti
daat se khaati katti
re jaiiyo na
o piyu re

o piyu re na jaiyyo na

kabhi kabhi yun kare main daantu aur tum darna

ugal pade aankhon se feenke paani ka jharna

hum tere kehre badan mein sil jaaungi re
jab karwat lega tu chhil jaaungi re

sang le jaaunga
teri meri angni mangni
and sang laagi sangni
sang le jaaun
o piyu re

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re
