baras rahi hai roshanee…

baras rahi hai roshanee…

deewarien tod ke
raahon ko mod ke
nikli hai roshanee
har bandhan chhod ke

kholo kholo
ye andhere haan
bana do siyahi
aur likh do tum

nayi subha

todo , taale,
suraj ko khol do
sabki, muthhi, roshan hai
bol do

todo kooyein
aur bhar do tum nadi
pi lo, baanto
hai sabki roshanee

roshanee…
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee

baras rahi hai roshanee…

sabke liye raste hon
aasha ke baste hon
jin mein, ujaale, baste hon

ho
sabke liye raste hon
aasha ke baste hon
jin mein, ujaale, baste hon

khaayi si thi
mit mit gayi
kaayi si thi
hatt hatt gayi

ho sabka sooraj
sabka aasmaan
ab yahaan

todo , taale,
suraj ko khol do
sabki, muthhi, roshan hai
bol do

todo kooyein
aur bhar do tum nadi
pi lo, baanto
hai sabki roshanee

roshanee…
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee

roshanee ki raly
dhoop phaili phaili
rutt ye nayi hai naveli

roshanee ki raly
dhoop phaili phaili
rutt ye nayi hai naveli

ab to sab hain
is reher mein
engine sabka
is khel mein

ho
sabki manzil
sabka kaarvaan
ab yahaan

todo , taale,
suraj ko khol do
sabki, muthhi, roshan hai
bol do

todo kooyein
aur bhar do tum nadi
pi lo, baanto
hai sabki roshanee

roshanee…
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee
hai ye sabki roshanee
itni hai ye roshanee

Roshanee from Aarakshan has some strong vocals by Shankar Mahadevan which is the high point of the song, besides the fact that the lyrics do get the message across but we wonder if this track will be liked by many, as it is a bit too specific to the theme of the movie. Let’s wait and watch!
