lekin............, the spell.........

Lekin, The movie by Gulzar saab, the excellence and perfection of the movie left me speechless....,it had left such an impact on me when i watched it in the mid night, in a deep dark room, wid max. volume, on that too it was a windy rainy nite..,
that i used to watch deserts everywhere, its songs 'main ek sadi se' and 'suniyo ji araj mhaari ho' did not let me sleep well for 3 nights.., i still have goosebumps whnever i think of 'Reva' singing songs in the desert and telling her story in the palace.
Gulzar saab Has not made a movie, he created a Gem [other than diamond,ruby etc.] named Lekin.
Reva's innocence, expression n impression cant be forgotten when she says... "waqt beet jaataa hai...marta thode hi hai".
-------------------------------
Main ek sadi se baithi hoon

Main ek sadi se baithi hoon....
Main ek sadi se baithi hoon...iss raah se koi guzraa nahi
kuchh chaand ke rath to guzre the..par chaand se koi Guzraa nahi

Main ek sadi se baithi hoon...

yeh din aur raat ke pahiye bhi kuchh dhool udaa kar beet gaye
main mann aangan main baithi rahi chaukhat se koi guzraa nahi

Main ek sadi se baithi hoon....

aakaash badaa budhaa babaa sabko kuchh baatke jaataa hai
aankhon ko nichodaa maine bauhat par koi aansun utraa nahi

Main ek sadi se baithi hoon......

i felt this song was soul of the movie..., Main ek sadi se baithi hoon iss raah se koi guzraa nahi.., this line only defines, the story of the movie.., the pangs, lonliness, and the lasting wait.... all is define in the music, lyrics and video of this song.

surmaee shaam iss tarah aaye

surmaee shaam iss tarah aaye
saans lete hain jis tarah saaye

koi aahat nahi badan mein kahin…
…phir bhi lagta hai tu yahin ha kahin
waqt jaata sunaai detaa hai...
...tera saaya dikhaai deta hai
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye…
…saans lete hain iss tarah saaye

suramaee shaam…

din ka jo bhi paher guzertaa hai…
…koi ehsaan sa guzertaa hai
Waqt ke paaon dekhta hoon main…
…roz yeh chhaon dekhta hoon main
Aaye jaise koi khayal aaye…
…saans lete hain jis tarah saaye

Surmaee shaam iss tarah aaye
Saans lete hain jiss tarah saaye

Surmaee shaam...

This song....its video showing a rajesthani-golden windy evening, the lyrics and the soft, light, yet appealing music composition defines the wait, and pains of the man longing to meet Reva.., his restlessness, questions, curiosity, helplessness,all is expressed in this song.

suniyo jee araj mhari ho babula hamaar

suniyo jee araj mhari ho babula hamaar
sawan aaye ghar le jaeeyo babula hamaar

bheege bheege angna ki yaad jo aawe
rookhi rookhi ankhiyon mein reti udaawe
sooni-sooni kori ankhiyaan...bhejiyo pukaar
suniyo ji araj mhaari ho...babula hamaar

bisraa deeye ho kaahe bides bhijaayi ke
hamka bulaaley babul doliyaa liwaayi ke
bhejo ji doli uthaaye chaaro kahaar

suniyo ji araj mhaari ho...babula hamaar
saawan aaye ghar le jaaeeyo babula hamar

i am in love wid this song, it b'fully shows how a daughter who cant help herself to meet or see his father living next to her prision. her struggle to talk to his father touch n see him through music..through voice
Lata ji's voice is simply fascinating in this song.., and the lyrics ofcourse no need to say....exceptionally b'ful, sweeter than sweetest

jhoothe naina bole saachi batiyan

jhoothe naina bole saachi batiyan
nit chamkaye chand kali ratiyaan
jhoote naina bole saachi batiyaan

Jaanu Jaanu Jhoothe Maahi Ki Jaat
Kin Sautan Sanga Tum Kati Raat
Ab Lipati Lipati
Ab Lipati Lipati Banaao Na Batiyaan
Jhoothe Naina Bole Saanchi Batiyaan

Bolo Bolo Kaisi Bhaayi Saanvari
Jis Ko De De Ni Mori Mundari
Ab Bhini Bhini
Ab Bhini Bhini Banaao Naa Batiyaan
Jhoothe Nainaa Bole Saanchi Batiyaan
Nita Chamakaave Chaand Kaali Ratiyaan

Jhoothe Naina Bole Saanchi Batiyaan

one more gem from Potli baba ki... Gulzar saab as always b'fully wrote the song, use of words like 'ab lipti lipti banaao na batiyaan' adds to it , and leaves the Gulzarish impression...
Hema ji in this song was simply fabulous, she looked so so b'ful, and her dance and expressions as always were so graceful n elegant.
