In memory of Jagjit Singh, who passed away today 
koi fariyaad, tere dil mein, dabee ho jaise
koi fariyaad, tere dil mein, dabee ho jaise
tune aankhon, se koi baat, kahi ho jaise
jaagte jaagte, ik umr, katee ho jaise
jaagte jaagte, ik umr, katee ho jaise
jaan baki, hai magar saans, ruki ho jaise
(Priyanshu Chatterjee’s dialogue:
jaanta hun,
aapko sahare ki zarurat nahi,
main sirf saath dene aaya hun)
har mulaqat pe, mehsoos, yehi hota hai
har mulaqat pe, mehsoos, yehi hota hai
mujhse kuch, teri nazar, pooch rahi ho jaise
raah chalte, hue aksar, ye gumaah hota hai
raah chalte, hue aksar, ye gumaah hota hai
wo nazar, chup ke mujhe, dekh, rahi ho jaise
wo nazar chup ke, mujhe, dekh rahi ho jaise
ek lamhe, mein simat aaya, sadiyon ka safar
ek lamhe, mein simat aaya, sadiyon ka safar
zindagi tez, bohat tez, chali ho jaise
zindagi tez, bohat tez, chali ho jaise
iss tarah pehron tujhe, sochta rehta, hun main
iss tarah pehron tujhe, sochta rehta, hun main
meri har saans, tere naam, likhi ho, jaise
koi fariyaad, tere dil mein, dabee ho jaise
tune aankhon, se koi baat, kahi ho jaise
jaagte jaagte, ik umr, katee ho jaise
jaan baki, hai magar saans, ruki ho jaise
(Ever heard of perfect melancholy? If not, then the song ‘Koi fariyaad‘ from the movie Tum Bin will make you wet your eyes like nothing else. With it’s profound lyrics by Faaz Anwar, and the heart rending vocals by ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh, and music by Nikhil-Vinay, the song remains a favourite with anyone who has a fixation with Indian songs, especially sad numbers. Just close your eyes and reminisce about a longing, which seems to have no end. Touche`!)
RIP Jagjit Singh. 1941-2011
