P.S: I cant understand why "No Country for old men" won 4 oscars the movie sucks.
It is very interesting that of all the songs in a movie for which he is the music director , A.R.Rehman chooses to the sing the best track. Or does the track become the best cos he sung it.Anyways dint like the tracks of Jodhaa Akbar much. All tracks were 2 on a scale of 5 except Khwaja....
I cant stop myself from humming the tune, its got the mughal style and is very well composed. Here goes the lyrics.
Movie : Jodhaa Akbar
Music Director: A R Rahman
Director: Ashutosh Gowarikar
Producer: Ashutosh Gowarikar, Ronnie Screwvalaeda
Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai
Singers: A.R.Rahman
Lyrics: Javeed Akhtar
Khwaja ji iiii…. khwajaaa
Khwaja jiiiii eeee, khwaja jiiiiii , khwaja jiii
Ya garib nawaz
Ya garib nawaz
ya garib nawaz
Ya garib nawaz
Ya moinuddin
Ya moinuddin
Ya moinuddin
Ya khwaja ji
Ya khwaja ji
Ya khwaja ji
Ya khwaja ji
Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja
Shaho ka shah tu
Ali ka dulara(para * 2)
Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja — (para * 2)
Beqaso ki taqdeer
Tuney hai sawari
Tuney hai sawari—- (para * 2)
Khwaja mere khwaja
Tere darbar mein khwaja
Door toh hai dekha
Tere darbar mein khwaja
Sar jhuka te hai auliya
Tu hai unalwali khwaja
Rutba hai pyara
Chahne se tujhko khwaja ji mustafa ko paya
Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja
Shaho ka shah tu
Ali ka dulara
(music.....)
Mere peer ka sadka
Mere peer ka sadka aaaaa…..
Hai mere peer ka sadka
Tera daman hai thama
Khawajajiiieeeee
Tali har bala humari
Chaya hai khumar tera
Jitna bhi rashk kare beshak
Toh kam hai ae mere khwaja
Tere kadmo ko mere rehnuma nahi chodna gawara
Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja
Shaho ka shah tu
Ali ka dulara(para * 2 )
Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja
Beqaso ki taqdeer
Tune hai sawari(para * 2)
Dil mein sama ja
Shaho ka shah tu
Ali ka dulara
Khwaja ji khwaja ji….(* 7)
--Badri--P.S: Does anyone else feel that Aishwarya is really looking very pretty in the movie.
P.P.S: What does
"Khwaja mere khwaja
Dil mein sama ja
Shaho ka shah tu
Ali ka dulara" mean ?
Valentine's day, Sad romantic songs and Bryan Adams crooning 'Please forgive me' kinda forced me into writing this poem(ok attempt at poetry)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Embers of a lost fire
Lead me into this sickly ire
What was I thinking when I let you go
Girl why did i have to say we should take it slow
Three words is all you wanted to hear
But my heart palpitated and stomach churned with fear
Not just cos I was scared of commitment
But also cos I thought love was an imaginary figment
Now that you are gone and I am on my own
I feel emptiness right up to my bone
Smiles are short and frowns longer
I have forgotten sleep, thirst and hunger
Ya I felt that its cliche' too
And these are just breakup blues
But aren't these supposed to fade in days few
And if I was so confident why for so long do i rue
I am not sure if I am in love or my hormones are in treason
But honey I know now we broke up for a reason
For I have learnt that without you I am a body without life
Oh darling if feeling thus is love,then please please be my wife
In the eyes of every woman i see I see you
And tears flow out telling me my love for you is true
I imagine phone rings and SMS arrival tones
When i realize their absence, I feel as if pelted with stones
I know now that I am not me without you
I need you now today and I know this much is true
To hell with commitment, I pledge you myself use me as you please
Come to me and stay with me for ever oh darling please.
Without you I am so incomplete
Only you can make me feel replete
One last thing i got to say even if its doesn't rhyme
I am convinced that Darling je t'aime....
--Badri--
