Is Modh Se Jaate Hain
Movie: Aandhi
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar
I remember listening to this song as I meandered about the campus on my walks, or just on the way to my hostel after classes. It seemed particularly apt--I do not need to add a somehow, do I?
There is a warmth, a sweetness, a hope suffused through the song, and... oh, it is so very beautiful, and I adore it.
A particularly lovely interpretation, here: http://murky-reflections.blogspot.com/2006/08/is-mod-se-jate-hain.html
Lyrics:
Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Kuch Sust Kadam Raste Kuchh Tez Qadam Raahen
Patthar Ki Haveli Ko Shishe Ke Gharaundon Men
Tinakon Ke Nasheman Tak Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Aandhi Ki Tarahu Dakar Ik Raah Guzarati Hai
Sharamaati Hui Koi Qadamon Se Utarati Hai
In Reshami Raahon Men Ik Raah To Vo Hogi
Tum Tak Jo Pahunchati Hai Is Mod Se Jaati Hai
Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Ik Dur Se Aati Hai Paas Aake Palatati Hai
Ik Raah Akeli Si Rukati Hai Na Chalati Hai
Ye Sochake Baithi Hun Ik Raah To Vo Hogi
Tum Tak Jo Pahunchati Hai Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Kuchh Sust Qadam Raste Kuchh Tez Qadam Raahen
Patthar Ki Haveli Ko Shiishe Ke Gharondon Men
Tinakon Ke Nasheman Tak Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
One of my favourite songs too! Just goes to show that there is no generation gap when it comes to good music and lyrics.
ReplyDeleteSuchitra Sen and Sanjay Kumar were simply magnificent in the movie. Incidentally, it was supposed to depict Indira Gandhi and predictably, her chamchas got it banned. Much money reportedly changed hands before the ban was lifted. I think that the story is as valid for today as it was then. If you have not seen the film, you should.
ReplyDeleteI've lots of memories of me and my father quietly enjoying these songs, only sometimes breaking the silence to sing along.
ReplyDeleteIt proves nothing, though- my sister hates 'em.
and I don't think I'll around to watching the movie anytime soon; I've a lot on my plate.
