I dedicate this review to my BROTHERS and my FRIENDS on MS.
Nurturing and maintaining friendships requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
That is why we take some days out of our life to celeberate certain occasions, Friendship Day is one such Occasion. This year we are celeberating Friendship Day on Sunday 3rd of August. This is my way of paying tribute to my friends on MS. Some of them are very close to me and others to at a close call. Here too, as in real life friends are there when you need them, Hats off to them. Yes, for me everyday is Friendship Day but I always like, atleast a day in a year to be extra extra special for my friends. I am celeberating this Friendship Day by writing this review and kick starting a contest for the Friendship Day.
I have made some changes in my original choice of song and replaced them with songs suggested by my MSian friends. I am writing their names along with the songs. I am including those songs without their permission but I hope they don’t mind. For once I am not deeply analyzing the songs, just putting here the compilation of songs on Friendships. I have used only the ones which depict positivity. Just enjoy the spirit of friendship without analyzing the songs.
1) Gar Khuda Mujhse Kahe
Movie: Zanjeer , Sung By: Manna De , Music By Kalyanji, Anandji
Gar Khuda mujhse kahe
Gar Khuda mujhse kahe kuchh maang ai bande mere
Main yeh maangoo (2)
Mahfilo ke daur yoon chalte rahen
Hum pyaala ho, huma niwala ho, humsafar humraaz ho
Ta-qayaamat ,(2) joh chiragon ki tarah jalte rahen
Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi
Arre! Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi
Pyaar ho bandon se yeh, O O
Pyaar ho bandon se yeh sab se badi hai bandagi
Yaari hai! yaari hai iman mera yaar meri zindagi
This song is a typical example of genuine friendship, my most fav song on Friendship. The lyrics pour out the emotions from heart. It is indeed a joy to have friends in your life and when it is said that my faith is friendship, it is the ultimate tribute to friendship.
2) Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin Todenge
Movie: Sholay , Sung By: Kishore Kumar, Manna De , Music By R D Burman
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dum magar tera saath na chhodenge
Ai meri jeet teri jeet, teri haar meri haar
Sun ai mere yaar
Tera gum mera gum teri jaan meri jaan
Aisa apna pyaar
Khana peena saath hai, marna jeena saath hai (2)
Sari zindagi , Yeh dosti
This is perhaps one of the most famous songs on friendship. The song is picturised well , full of antics of two friends. The lyrics are like icing on the cake. I remember hearing this song when I was a kid and we friends used to sing it. It speaks about the feelings of friends for each other.
3) Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahaan, Kahaan Aisa Yaaraana
Movie: Yarana , Sung By: Kishore Kumar , Music By Rajesh Roshan
Tere jaisa yaar kahaan kahaan aisa yaaraana
Yaad karegi duniya tera-mera afasaana
Tere jaisa yaar kahaan
Meri zindagi sanwari mujhko gale se lagake
Baitha diya falak pe mujhe khaq se utha ke -2
Yaara teri yaari ko maine toh Khuda maana
Yaad karegi duniya
This song praises the friend, who has helped another friend become a star from nobody. The beautiful lyrics rendered by Kishoreda’s soulful voice makes one speechless. This song touches the core of your heart, makes one respect a friend who helps other friend while overcoming difficulties/obstacles in his own life.
4) Chappa Chappa Charkha Chale
Movie: Machis , Sung By : Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar , Music By : Vishaal
Chappa chappa charakha chale
Auni-pauni yaariyan teri
Bauni-bauni beriyon tale
Chappa chappa charakha chale
Yara ve, yara-ve, yara-ve~ Naniyan paradesiya
Chappa chappa charakha chale
Gori chatkhori joh katori se khilati thi
Jumme ke jumme joh surme lagati thi
Kachchi munder tale, Chappa chappa charakha chale
The group of friends reminisces their old times, when they used to enjoy life. Gulzaar Saheb’s lyrics are as usual very poetic. One can go down their own memory lane after hearing this song.
5) Ho Tujhpe Qurbaan Meri Jaan
Movie: Qurbaani , Sung By: Kishore Kumar, Anwar, Aziz Nazan , Music By Kalyanji, Anandji
Ho tujhpe qurban meri jaan mera dil mera imaan
Yaari meri kehati hai yaar pe kar de sab qurban
Hoy ( qurbani ) -3 Allah ko pyaari hai qurbaani
Saaye mein talawaron ke daave hain diladaron ke
Dushmanon ke jaani dushman yaar sachche yaaron ke
Hum yaar sachche yaron ke
Ho aandhi aaye ya toofan yaar khade hain seena taan
Yaari meri kahati hai
This song speaks of sacrifice for friends. One friend is ready to sacrifice his life too for another friend. This is what real friendship is. Love and sacrifice, the ultimate in friendship.
6) Bane Chahe Dushman Zamana Humaara By Javeed aka JAMS
Movie: Dostaana , Sung By: Mohummad Rafi, Kishore Kumar , Music By Laxmikant, Pyaarelal
Bane chahe dushman zamana humaara
Salamat rahe dostaana humaara
Bane chahe
Woh khwaabon ke din woh kitaabon ke din
Sawaalon ki raaten jawabon ke din
Kai saal humne guzaare yahaan
Yahin saath khele huae hum jawaan
Hue hum jawaan
Two friends reminiscing their school and college days. They speak about the way they used to spend their childhood, the best period of one’s life. How they grew up along together, their closeness in their lives intact as it was in their childhood.
7) Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain Suggested By Bhupesh
Movie: Namak H*raam , Sung By : Kishore Kumar , Music By : R D Burman
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, (2)
Badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost,
Milte hain, diye jalte hain
Jab jis waqt kisi ka, pyaar juda hota hai,
kuchh na poochho, yaaron dil ka, haal bura hota hai, (2)
Dil pe yaadon ke jaise, teer chalte hain, aha ha
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, diye jalte hain
I dare not analyse this song and spoil the beauty of it. I will just say it is one of most beautiful song sung in Kishoreda’s voice. Its lyrics are very heart touching, the pain of losing a friend is immense, I have lost one I know the feeling.
