This one was recommended by many visitors but I was not much thrilled about this particular song. However, after listening closing it reveals the true voice of the shayar, Shahir Ludhiyanvi, himself. The movies is also believed to be made in his personal life.
Woh mere beech nahi aaye,
Mein unke beechme kyun aaoon,
Unki soobha aur shamona ka,
Mein ek bhi lamha kyon paaoon
Main pal do pal ka shaayar hoon
Pal do pal meri kahaani hai
Pal do pal meri hasti hai
Pal do pal meri jawaani hai
Mujhse pehle kitne shaayar
Aaye aur aakar chale gaye
Kuchh aahein bharkar laut gaye
Kuchh naghme gaakar chale gaye
Woh bhi ek pal ka kissa thhey
Main bhi ek pal ka kissa hoon
Kal tumse juda ho jaaoonga
Woh aaj tumhaara hissa hoon
Main pal do pal ka..
Kal aur aayenge nagmon ki
Khilti kaliya chunne waale
Mujhse behtar kehne waale
Tumse behtar sunne waale
Kal koi mujhko yaad kare
Kyoon koi mujhko yaad kare
Mashroof zamaana mere liye
Kyoon waqt apna barbaad kare
Main pal do pal ka..

कल नई कुंपले फूटेंगी ,
कल नए फूल मुस्कुराएंगे,
और नए घास की नई फर्श पर,
नए पांव इठ्लाएंगे,
वह मेरे बीच नही आए,
में उनके बीचमे क्यों आऊँ,
उनकी सुबह और शामों का,
में एक भी लम्हा क्यों पाऊँ
मैं पल दो पल का शायर हूँ
पल दो पल मेरी कहानी है
पल दो पल मेरी हस्ती है
पल दो पल मेरी जवानी है
मुझसे पहले कितने शायर
आए और आकर चले गए
कुछ आहें भरकर लौट गए
कुछ नगमे गाकर चले गए
वह भी एक पल का किस्सा थे
मैं भी एक पल का किस्सा हूँ
कल तुमसे जुदा हो जाऊंगा
वह आज तुम्हारा हिस्सा हूँ
मैं पल दो पल का …
कल और आयेंगे नगमों की
खिलती कलियाँ चुनने वाले
मुझसे बेहतर कहने वाले
तुमसे बेहतर सुनने वाले
कल कोई मुझको याद करे
क्यूं कोई मुझको याद करे
मशरूफ ज़माना मेरे लिए
क्यूं वक्त अपना बरबाद करे
मैं पल दो पल का ..
While watching the trailer of the movie it becomes clear that it has been ‘inspired’ from the Hollywood movie “Three men and a baby”. However the director Sajid Khan denies that his movie is based on any such movie. Well, there is nothing wrong to take inspiration from something, but it is hard to improve.
Despite the denial, the story goes parallel to the Hollywood movie with additions of some music numbers.
Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Ali (Fardeen Khan) and Tanmany (Ritesh Deshmukh) are having all the fun a bachelor would have till someone drops a baby girl at their door step with a note. Each of them denies to be father of the baby. Being unexperienced in raising a small child they face difficulty to look after the baby. After unsuccessful efforts to find the mother of the baby, they try to get rid her. But with a life threatening accident to the baby, their hearts change and they start loving the baby and enjoy her company. When the three men are settled, her mother (Vidya Balan) , a former lover of Aroush , turns up and gets the hold of the child. The three men make various attempts to get the her back with the mother and eventually everyone unites and lives happily.
Sajid Khan being the director and looking to the plot of the movie, a comic relief was heavily expected, but the movie fails to deliver much. Most of comedy scenes are physical comedy and dual meaning dialogs. Akshay Kumar is an established actor in comedy, as he has proved his metal under the direction of Priyadarshan but he is not at his par performance.
There are some comic relief the trio try to provide , here and there , but nothing for stomach holding laughs. Boman Irani, another talented actor, and I always found it disturbing that directors waste him for overacting. Vidya Balan is okay as she has nothing much to do. There was some gimmicks for the promotion of movie by shooting some 21 actresses in one song, you will be hardly able to recognize few of them. Then there is overacting Anupam Kher and Shahrukh Khan in special appearances for no reason at all. There is nothing special about the musical numbers and are easily forgotten.
In my view the movie fails to entertain for the money one may spend on it. I would stay at home and watch the re-run of Mr. Bean on Pogo.

Its eternal truth that to achieve goal one must dream, one needs have to have a dream. Javedsaab has woven the fact poetically.

Dekha Ek Khwaab To Yeh Silsile Hue
Door Tak Nigahon Mein Hain Gul Khile Hue
Yeh Gila Hai Aapki Nigahon Se
Phool Bhi Ho Darmiyaan To Faasle Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…
Meri Saanson Mein Basi Khushboo Teri
Yeh Tere Pyaar Ki Hai Jadugari
Teri Aawaz Hai Havaaon Mein
Pyar Ka Rang Hai Phizaaon Mein
Dhadkanon Mein Tere Geet Hain Mile Hue
Kya Kahun Ke Sharm Se Hain Lub Sile Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…
Mera Dil Hai Teri Panaahon Mein
Aa Chhupa Loon Tujhe Maein Baahon Mein
Teri Tasveer Hai Nigaahon Mein
Door Tak Roshni Hai Raahon Mein
Kal Agar Na Roshni Ke Kaafile Hue
Pyar Ke Hazaar Deep Hain Jale Hue
Dekha Ek Khwaab…

Song : Kyun jindgi shikava gila (Kar salaam) Lyrics :
Music : Pritam Chakraborty
This song also displays the same spirit of the classic Zindgi pyar ka geet hai , with just a difference of fast beats and playful tone.
***
Kyun zindagi se ho shikava gila ,
yeh hasati hai roti hai, jo bhi hai jaisi hai
jo bhi yeh deti hai woh hai tera.
kar salaam….
Nakhre utha isake nakhre utha,
haan dhoop bhi hai yeh, chhaanv bhi hai yeh
jo bhi yeh deti hai, tu maan ja
kar salaam…..
Kho jaana, pa jaana, na paana, hai jindagi jaane le
bik jaana, loot jaana, bass jaana hai jindagi maan le
karle yakin, jo kal gaya woh phir se aata nahin
gujra huva jo waqt hai woh dastak lagaata nahin
jo aaj hai bass wahi hai tera
Kya teri hasti hai, mitti ki basti hai
pal mein hi ho jaati hai yeh fanaa
kar salaam
****
क्यों ज़िंदगी से हो शिकवा गीला ,
यह हसती है रोती है, जो भी है जैसी है
जो भी यह देती है वह है तेरा.
कर सलाम….
नखरे उठा इसके नखरे उठा,
हाँ धुप भी है यह, छाँव भी है यह
जो भी यह देती है, तू मान जा
कर सलाम…..
खो जाना, पा जाना, ना पाना, है जिंदगी जाने ले
बिक् जान, लूट जान, बस जाना है जिंदगी मान ले
करले यकीं, जो कल गया वह फिर से आता नहीं
गुजरा हुवा जो वक़्त है वह दस्तक लगाता नहीं
जो आज है बस वही है तेरा
क्या तेरी हस्ती है, मिटटी कि बस्ती है
पल में ही हो जाती है यह फना
कर सलाम

Song : In dino dil mera
Lyrics :
Music : Pritam Chakraborty
It is amusing to see more often then not, people are to be told, has to be motivated to love. We find very easy to express negative emotions then positive one. Sometime people do not have grudges against others or society, but find hard to love oneself.
Probably if you are loving, you are more open and more vulnerable. Friends and relatives may say that people takes benefits of your benevolence. Therefore in fear of being vulnerable and not to allow anyone to take benefit people become hard, unuseful and stop living.
I like the emotions of this song very much.
***
In dino, dil mera, mujhse hai keh raha , tu khaab saja, tu ji le jara,
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat.
Berang si hai badi zindagi kuchh rang to bharoon,
main apani tanahaayi ke waaste ab kuchh toh karoon.
Jab mile thodi fursat, khudse karle muhabbat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat
Usako chhupaakar main sabse kabhi le chaloon kahin door…
aankhon ke pyaalon kse pita rahoon usake chehre ka noor.
Iss jamaane se chhupakar , puri karloon main hasrat
hai tujhe bhi izaazat, karle tu bhi muhabbat.
***
इन दिनों, दिल मेरा, मुझसे है कह रह , तू ख़ाब सजा , तू जी ले जरा,
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत.
बेरंग सी है बड़ी ज़िंदगी कुछ रंग तो भरून,
मैं अपनी तनहाई के वास्ते अब कुछ तो करूं.
जब मिले थोडी फुरसत, खुदसे करले मुहब्बत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत
उसको छुपाकर मैं सबसे कभी ले चलूँ कहीं दूर…
आंखों के प्यालों कसे पिता रहूँ उसके चेहरे का नूर.
इस जमाने से छुपाकर , पूरी करलूं मैं हसरत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, करले तू भी मुहब्बत.

Track : Gulshan Ki Faqat Phoolon Se Nahi
Album : Desires (1994)
Lyrics : Saba Afghani
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Jagjit Singh
I have been listening this ghazal in infinite loops. All I want happiness, no pain, no sadness but it is hard fact that they are as well important as happiness. Without them I will not understand of having them.
Finding the meaning of this ghazal took me longer then most of ghazals. I am still confused with a word in last sher. Is it Daamal or Daaman. Most probably it is later, because Daaman means lap, it makes sense with the rest of line.
UPDATE (15/02/2007) : In my mp3 file, after so many listening, it appeared like Daamal. But now confusion is over
***
Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaaton se bhi zeenat hoti hai,
jeene ke liye is duniya mein gham ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai.
Ae waaiz-e-naadan karta hai tu ek qayamat ka charcha,
yahan roz nigahen milti hain yahan roz qayamat hoti hai.
Wo pursish-e-gham ko ayae hain kuch keh na sakoon chup reh na sakoon,
khaamosh rahoon to mushkil hai keh doon to shikaayat hoti hai.
Karna hi padega jabt-e-alam peene hi padenge ye aansoo,
fariyaad-o-fugaan se aey naadaan tauheen-e-mohabbat hoti hai.
Jo aake ruke daaman pe ‘Saba’ wo ashq nahin hai paani hai,
jo ashq na chhalke aankhon se us ashq ki keemat hoti hai.
*** गुलशनकिफ़क़तफूलोंसेनहींकाटोंसेभीजीनतहोतीहै, जीनेकेलिएइसदुनियामेंग़मकिभीज़रूरतहोतीहै.
Interesting facts about the poem.(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabhie_Kabhie)
* The concept came to Yash Chopra while he was reading a poem by his longtime friend (and also the film’s lyricist) Sahir Ludhianvi . Initially, the story just centered on Amit, Pooja, Vijay and Anjali, but Pamela Chopra read an article in a magazine about a woman meeting her adopted child. Yash Chopra thought it good enough to make it a sub-plot in the film.
* There are two versions of the poem “Kabhi Kabhie” – one is the romantic poem Amit sings to Pooja when they are in love, and the other version, rewritten by a shattered Amit since the marriage of Pooja to Vijay, is a bitter, self-hating ode of misery and loss. Sahir Ludhianvi wrote this version of “Kabhi Kabhie” first; the more romantic version was written for the film.
* The film was supposed to open with Amit standing under a tree and watching Pooja get married. Traditionally in a Hindi “shaadi” (wedding) ceremony, there were to be seven “pheras” (circuits) around the altar; therefore there would be seven different love scenes between Amit and Pooja intercut with each phera. This was deemed too artistic a beginning for the film, so a few days were spent re-shooting the simple scenes of Amit reciting poetry and meeting Pooja.
This ghazal is by the request of Nadeem. I am bit unsure with the actual information about this ghazal. There may be other singer than Salman Alvi , I am not sure about.
Nadeem, you can listen the ghazal at Raaga.com , search for the ghazal title or “Salman Alvi”.

Ajnabi shehar ke ajnabi raaste , meri tanhaii par muskurate rahe
mein buhat dair tak yunhi chalta raha, tum buhat der tak yaad ate rahe.
Zakham jaab bhi koi zehan-o-dil per laga , zindagi ki taraf ek dareecha khulaa,
hum bhi goya kisi saaz ke taar hain , chot khaate rahe gun-gunate rahe.
Kal kuch aisa hua mein bahot tak gaya, is liye sune ke bhi unsuni kar gaya,
kitni yaadone ke bhatke hua kaarvan , dil ke zakhmon ke dar khat-khatate rahe.
****
अजनबी शहर के अजनबी रास्ते , मेरी तन्हाई पर मुस्कुराते रहे
में बुहत देर तक यूँही चलता रह, तुम बुहत देर तक याद आते रहे.
ज़हर मिलता रह ज़हर पीते रहे , रोज़ मरते रहे रोज़ जीते रहे,
ज़िंदगी भी हमे आजमाती रही , और हम भी उसे आजमाते रहे .
ज़ख्म जब भी कोई जहन-ओ-दिल पेर लगा , ज़िंदगी की तरफ एक दरीचा खुला,
हम भी गोया किसी साज़ के तार हैं , चोट खाते रहे गुन-गुनते रहे.
कल कुछ ऐसा हुआ में बहोत तक गया, इस लिए सुने के भी उन्सुनी कर गया,
कितनी यादों के भटके हुआ कारवां , दिल के ज़ख्मों के दर खट-खटते रहे.
