Tere Bin Saanu Sohniya

- New Song of the Moment -

I'll have to admit, I've heard it a while ago..but it didn't register for me until I heard Mussarat performing it on SaReGaMaPa Challenge 2007...eventhough he messed up with the lyrics. He sang it beautifully. No clue what all of the words mean (This is before I did a PhD on the song)..my Punjabi (or Five-Jabi) is seriously beyond lacking. Evenso, the words are utterly beautiful.

After listening to it a one-trillion-gazillion times and searchin' the net...this is what I have come up with..

Tere Bin
Music and Performed By Rabbi Shergill
Lyrics By Sanyukta Verma

Tere Bin Sanu Sohniya Koi Hor Nahio Labhna Jo Dave Ruh Nu Sakun Chukke Jo Nakhra Mera Ve Main Sare Ghumm Ke Vekhia Amrika , Roos, Malaysia Na Kittey Vi Koi Fark Si Har Kise Di Koi Shart Si Koi Mangda Mera Si Shama Koi Hunda Surat Te Fida Koi Mangda Meri Si Wafa Na Koi Mangda Merian Bala Tere Bin Hor Na Kise Mangni Merian Bala Tere Bin Hor Na Kise Karni Dhup Vich Chhan Tere Bin Sanu Sohniya Koi Hor Nahio Labhna Jo Dave Ruh Nu Sakun Chukke Jo Nakhra Mera	Besides you my love I shan't find another Who'll give peace to my soul Who'll endure my fickle temperament (nakhra) I have gone and seen it all America, Russia, Malaysia It didn't matter to anyone They all had some conditions Some asked for my time Some were fascinated with my face Some demanded my fidelity No one asked for my demons/flaws Besides you no one else could Ask for my flaws/demons Besides you, there isn't anyone with whom I could Create a shade under the sun Besides you my love I shan't find another Who'll give peace to my soul Who'll indulge me

New Song of the Moment

The song from Life in a..Metro, 'In Dino, Dil Mera' (Singer: Soham) has just become the new song of the moment. This is going to be the next film with Shilpa Shetty post Big Brother that I am really looking forward to. The movie looks slick, with a bunch of storylines (as I always like) and is produced by UTV Motion Pictures (I really like them).

Here are the lyrics...
(In dino, dil mera, mujhse hai keh raha
tu khaab saja, tu ji le jara
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi mohabbat - 2) - 2

(berang si hai badi zindagi kuchh rang to bharoon
main apani tanahaayi ke vaaste ab kuchh toh karoon) - 2
jab mile thodi fursat - 2, mujhse karle mohabbat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi mohabbat

(usako chhupaakar main sabse kabhi le chaloon kahin door...
aankhon ke pyaalon kse pita rahoon usake chehre ka noor) - 2
iss zamaane se chhupakar - 2, puri karloon main hasrat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi mohabbat - 2
in dino, dil mera, mujhse hai keh raha
tu khaab saja, tu ji le jara
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi mohabbat - 2

Krishnashraya Stotram

Having memorized it for years, I'm surprised that I just recently learnt the meaning of the words of the Krishnashraya Stotram. It was composed by Shree Vallabhacharya at Adel and addressed to Bula Mishra of Lahor. It gives the historical Background of his time in India. He describes the worst state of affairs in India at that time, relating to holy places, rituals and their extinct power, the self seeking learned men, the worthlessness of mankind etc., and on the other hand the effectiveness of the refuge in Shree Krishna (Krushna). Shree Vallabhacharyaji advocates taking shelter under Shree Krishna and none else but Krishna under all circumstances. These words are truly beautiful..and thanks to websites such as the ones listed, I think people have a better understanding.

The Meaning of Krishnashraya Stotram
----------------------------------------
When in this Kaliyug (Evil era), with villainous characteristics, all ways of attaining God have vanished and hypocrisy is rampant in people, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (1)

When the country is besieged by invaders and is the home for only sinners, and when people are worried due to torturing of the good people, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (2)

When the most holy places of pilgrimage like Ganga and others are encircled by only the wicked people, and when the divine sanctity has disappeared from those places, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (3)

When even the good people are dulled with pride, follow the sinners and aspire only for wealth and prestige, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (4)

When due to absence of knowledge of real meanings, the scared hymns are almost destroyed and there is no propriety for observing of vows and when the efficacy and deities of Mantras have disappeared, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (5)

When, due to all sorts of interpretations of all ritualistic acts and keepng vows etc., are worthless and when all are in the pursuit of hypocritical attempt, Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (6)

It is our experience that Shree Krushna has done away with all shortcomings of people like Ajamila and thus has displayed his supreme greatness. Therfore Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (7)

All deities are just ordinary. Even the Brahma (Akshara Brahma, abode of Supreme Spirit) is one with limited joy. Whereas KRUSHNA is perfect joy. Hence Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (8)

I am deviod of discreet understanding, patience and devotion etc., and much more, I am addicted to sins; I am without any means to achieve GOD. Shree Krushna alone is my resort. (9)

He is the omnipotent, the one who fulfils all desires everywhere and who gracefully uplifts all those supplicating to him so I beseech to Shree Krushna (10)

For anyone who recites this Krushnashrayam Stotram in the presence of Shree Krushna, The God himself becomes his refuge. So said Shree Vallabha. (11)

Anwar Lyrics

I think I've said before "Music haunts me." I think this song is a perfect example. I can't listen to anything else but this song right now; it's so well written, well sung, and blended together perfectly. Anwar is one movie I'm looking forward to seeing. The first time I heard the song when I was viewing the trailer for the movie, it caught my attention --the smoothness of the song.

maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 4
aankhein teri - 2, kitni haseen
ke inkaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, inmein tu
(ishq hai maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3

ki inakaa aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhako basaa le, iname tu

mujhse yeh har ghadi, mera dil kahe
tum hi ho uski aarzoo
mujhse yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
baatein teri itni haseen, main yaad inko jab kartaa hoon
phoolon si aaye, khushaboo

rakh loon chhupaa ke main kahin tujhko
saayaa bhi tera na main doon
rakh loon bana ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
saath tere, main hi rahoon
julfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inako, yeh sochta hoon
saaye me, inake main jiyoon
(ishq hai maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3

(meraa dil yahi bolaa, mera dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaz yeh usne hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa) - 3

There's another song on the album that is really good, Javeda Zindagi (AKA Tose Naina Lagey) ..The album as a whole has more than one music director, but both of these songs are by the same one, Mithoon. This is his second album after 'Bas ek Pal'. You know music is good, when it changes your mood to reflect the mood of the music.
