Jaane Kya Baat Hui...

Yun Toh Koi Gilaa Nahin
Sab Kuch Tha Kya Naa Tha
Phir Bhi Jo Ikk Kami Si Thi
Uska Pata Naa Tha

Yun Toh Koi Gilaa Nahin...

Yeh Kaun Mujh Mein Chupke
Mujhe Dekhne Laga
Itna Hassen Pehle
Kabhi Aaeena Naa Tha

Yun Toh Koi Gilaa Nahin...

Jaane Kya Baat Hui,
Jaane Kya Baat Hui...

Haan dhoop mottiyon si
Jhaankti thi na kabhi
Itni to raat-rani
Mehekti thi na kabhi

Mausam hara to tha magar
Itna hara na tha
Gaate hain phool patte
Bajate hain taaliyan

Khush ho ke naachte hain
Trakaton pe daaliyan
Khamoshiyon ko bolte
Pehle suna tha

Yun Toh Koi Gilaa Nahin...

Jaane Kya Baat Hui,
Jaane Kya Baat Hui...

  1. spellbinding as usual..i thought u will never post again..but it came as a beautiful surprise..as mesmerizing as ever..the best thing ,which i noticed in your previous posts too, is your care in presenting the Hindi words perfectly while writing them in English..u could very well have written "motiyon" instead of writing "mottiyon" but that simple addition of an extra "t" made it sound so different and beautiful..truly spellbinding ma'am.. "khamoshiyon ko bolte pehle suna tha"..did u, by any chance, miss a "na" before "suna tha" ma'am?..forgive me if i m wrong.. :) best wishes..n plz keep writing

  4. For the record, I did not write it. It was the title track of a soap opera.
