Hothon se chhu lo tum by Jagjit Singh

Posted by JV on December 11, 2005

Hothon se chhu lo tum.jpg Album : Awaaz
Movie : Prem Geet (1981)
Artiste & Music : Jagjit Singh
Lyrics : Indivar
I can never have enough of this ghazal. I have been listeing it for years and listened it hundreds of time (yes! sometime in winamp this track is repeated for several times, just now I am listening it 5th time in row). Indivar has really put his heart in the lyric. You just feel that this is something you want to say some one very special and it cannot be put in better ways. This song displays immense quality of love and effection. To not moved by this ghazal you need a heart of stone.

This is the first hit ghazal of Jagjit Singh sung in Hindi Movie.

* * *
Hothhon se chhu lo tum meraa geet amar kar do,
ban jaao meet mere, meri preet amar kar do.

Na umr kee seemaa ho, naa janmon kaa ho bandhan
jab pyaar kare koi to dekhe kewal man,
nayee reet chalaakar tum ye reet amar kar do

Aakaash kaa sunapan mere tanaha maan mein,
paayal janakaatee tum aa jaao jeewan mein
saanse dekar apani sangeet amar kar do
sangeet amar kar do mera geet amar kar do.

Jag ne chhinaa muj se, mujhe jo bhee lagaa pyaaraa
sab jeetaa kiye muj se, mein har pal hee haaraa
tum haar ke dil apanaa, meree jeet amar kar do
* * *
होंठों से छू लो तुम मेरा गीत अमर कर दो,
बन जाओ मीत मेरे, मेरी प्रीत अमर कर दो.

न उम्र की सीमा हो, ना जन्मों का हो बंधन
जब प्यार करे कोई तो देखे केवल मन ,
नयी रीत चलाकर तुम ये रीत अमर कर दो

आकाश का सुनापन मेरे तन्हा मन में,
पायल जनकाती तुम आ जाओ जीवन में
साँसे देकर अपनी संगीत अमर कर दो
संगीत अमर कर दो मेरा गीत अमर कर दो.

जग ने छीना मुज से, मुझे जो भी लगा प्यारा
सब जीता किये मुज से, में हर पल ही हारा
तुम हार के दिल अपना, मेरी जीत अमर कर दो
****

Check out my horrible translation of it :)

    Mujhe Jagjit Singh Ji ki gazals bahut pasand hain. Main hamesha inko gati hu. Main Jagjit Singh Ji aur Chitra Ji se milna chahti hu. Inki gazals mein jo feelings hain wo kisi mein nahi hain. Bahut jeyada dard hain unki gazals mein. Jo hila ke rakh deti hain.
