Nihal ho gaya

I always liked songs with simple words but great meaning…… And some of the persons whom i really admire have been Gulzaar Saab, Javed Akhtar, Anand Bakhshi, shailendra to name a few.

The latest name in my list is Prasoon Joshi. Yes the very same Prasoon Joshi who boggled our minds with ads like NDTV India (”Sach dikhate hain hum”), Saffola (”Abhi to main jawan hoon“) LG, Marico, Perfetti (Alpenliebe, Chloromint), Coke (”Thanda matlab Coca Cola”) and of course, his crowning glory — the paanch rupaiya campaigns for Coke with Aamir Khan.

And a very rare transition from ad world to Lyrics….. Prasoon kept his trademark, boggling the minds, by writing lyrics like,

Aye saala. . .
Abhi bahi hua yakin, Ki aag hai mujh me kahin,
Suraj ko main nigal gaya, khicha khicha machal gaya
Roobarooo. . . . . Roshni hai. . .

Who can think of writing suraj ko main nigal gaya….. and can u imagne chand sifarish karega???

Chand sifarish jo karta humari, Deta wo tuko bata
Sharm o haya ke parde gira ke, karni hai humko khata. . .

ofcourse the brilliance was also in Music, singing and acting too… but nothing as compared to lyrics. . .

And who can for get Taare zammen Par….

Tujhe sab hai pata hai na maa…..

Is the title disturbing you??

well it points to the song from the latest movie Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic. . . Nihal Ho Gaya . .

Here’s the lyrics….

seedhi sapat zindagi bawaal ho gayi
seedhi sapat zindagi bawaal ho gayi
teri ek nazar se, teri ek nazar se
teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
nihal ho gayi, nihal ho gayi

teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
jisko main bheed kehta tha wo log ho gaye
jisko sadak samajhta tha wo raah ho gayi
chamakti aasma mein gol cheez chaand ho gayi

teri ek nazar se, teri ek nazar se

daaliyon mein jhoomte wo rang phool ho gaye
khushbuon se saans saans maalamal ho gayi
teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
nihal ho gayi …… nihal ho gayi
teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi

ek hawa jo paas aayi to jhonka kaha use
paani jo barasne laga rimjhim kaha use
hothon ke mudne ko muskurana kaha

ho teri ek nazar se, teri ek nazar se

badla mahina to naya mausam kaha use
sur naya naya nai nai si taal ho gayi
ho teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
nihal ho gayi…. nihal ho gayi
teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi

seedhi sapat zindagi bawaal ho gayi
seedhi sapat zindagi bawaal ho gayi
ho teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
nihal ho gayi…… nihal ho gayi
teri ek nazar se ….
teri ek nazar se ….
teri ek nazar se zindagi nihal ho gayi
