Phule Phule Dhole Dhole




Phule phule dhole dhole,
Bohey kibaa mridu baay.
Totini hillolo tuley,
Kollole choliya jaay.
Piko kibaa kunje kunje,
Piko kibaa kunje kunje,
Kuhu kuhu kuhu gaay.
Ki jaani kishero laagi,
Praano kore haay-haay.

A touch of sweetness in the breeze that
Softly cradles buds today
A winding stream that gently gurgles
In its happy course at play
The cuckoo sings in trees and gardens
a cuhoo cuhoo cuhoo lay
My absent heart does not know why
It's absolutely borne away

- Rabindranath Tagore, Featured in Satyajit Ray's Charulata 

I love these versions: 

# 1. From Satyajit Ray's 1964 movie "Charulata" based on Rabindranath Tagore's Novel "Nastanirh" 
# 2. This back to back amalgamation with a Scottish song by Robert Burns
# 3. This traditional Rabindra Sangeet version
# 4. This Parineeta song which is inspired by and based on the same tune

Aayi Zanjeer Ki Jhankar

" Thinking of Razia" by Neha


Khudaa khair karey
Aayi zanjeer ki jhankaar Khudaa khair karey
Dil huaa kiskaa giraftaar Khudaa khair karey
Aayi zanjeer ki jhankaar

Jaaney ye kaun meri rooh ko chhookar guzraa
Jaaney ye kaun
Jaaney ye kaun meri rooh ko chhookar guzraa
Ek qayaamat huyi bedaar
Ek qayaamat huyi bedaar
Khudaa Khair karey

Lamhaa lamhaa meri aankhon mein khinchi jaati hai
Lamhaa lamhaa meri aankhon mein khinchi jaati hai
Ek chamakti huyi talwaar Khudaa Khair karey
Ek chamakti huyi talwaar

Dil hua kiska giraftar khuda khair karey
Aayi zanjeer ki jhankar

Khoon dil kaa na chhalak jaaye kahin aankhon se
Khoon dil kaa na chhalak jaaye meri aankhon se
ho na jaaye kahin izhaar
ho na jaaye kahin izhaar
ho na jaaye kahin izhaar Khudaa khair kare

- From the Hindi movie " Razia Sultana", Lyrics by Jaan Nissar Akhtar, Sung by Kabban Mirza, Music by Khayyam
