Jiv dangala gungala rangala asa 
I am engrossed and engulfed 

Piramachi aas tu
You are my longing for love 

Jiv lagala laabhala 
Fallen in your love and received your love 

Dhyass ho tuza 
You are my desire 

Gahiwarala shwas tu
You are my breath 

Pailtira neshil

Saath mala deshil 
Will you become my companion beloved 

Kalij majha tu
You are my soul 

Sukh bharatila aala 
Happiness, satisfaction is overflowing 

Nabh dharatila aala 
Sky came to earth, sky met the earth

Punawacha chand tu
You are the full moon 

Jiv dangala gungala rangala asa 
I am engrossed and engulfed 

Piramachi aas tu

Chand sugandha deil 
Moon will spread fragrance 

Raat usasa deil
Night will sigh in relief 

Sari dharati tujhi 
Entire earth is yours 

Rujavyachi mati tu
You are a fertile soil 

Khula aabhal dhagaal tyala rudhi cha vital
The sky is clouded with ancient, age old traditions 

Majhya raagh sajana 
Oh my dear, beloved 

Hee kakanachi tod maal tuu
You break this chain of bangles 

Khula kalija he majhe Tula dila mi aandan
I gave you my crazy heart to you as a gift as a offering 

Tujhya payav makhin majhya janmacha gonthan 
I will devote my life to beautify your life forever just like a tattoo on your feet my life will be yours forever 

Jiv dangala gungala rangala asa 
I am engrossed and engulfed 

Piramachi aas tu
You are my longing for love

Rishton Ke Saare Manzar by Arijit Singh

"Rishton Ke Saare Manzar" is a ghazal that featured in the album "Kuch Dil Ne Kaha". One of the most notable and talented singer Arijit Singh has given his voice to the song and has made it quite pleasant to the ears. The lyrics of the song has been penned by Harsh Brahmbhatt, who is a Gujarati language poet and writer and a retired bureaucrat. He served as additional secretary of Gujarat government and then as additional secretary of Chief Minister of Gujarat. Composer of the album is Anup Jalota. 

We have earlier seen Arijit singing ghazals like the one in Haider (Gulon mein rang bhare) with same ease as he sings the Bollywood numbers. He seems to make no efforts with singing and yet comes out with an excellent number. Here also he has kept the things simple and that works wonders for him. As for the lyrics, it is a meaningful song which tries to fill the void in the field of ghazals left by the legends like Jagjit Singh and Ghulam Ali.

Lyrics:
रिश्तों के सारे मंज़र चुपचाप देखता हूँ 
हाथों में सबके खंजर चुपचाप देखता हूँ 
जिसमें पला है मेरे बचपन का लम्हा लम्हा 
उजड़ा हुआ सा वो घर चुपचाप देखता हूँ 
धरता है कितने तोहमत मुझपे वजूद मेरा 
जब भी मैं दिल के अंदर चुपचाप देखता हूँ 
वो रहगुज़र कभी जो मंज़िल की इब्तिदा थी 
उसको मैं अब पलटकर चुपचाप देखता हूँ



Rishton ke saare manjar chupchap dekhta hun
Haathon mein sabke khanjar chupchap dekhata hun 
Jismein pala hai mere bachpan ka lamha lamha 
Ujada hua sa wo ghar chupchap dekhta hun 
Dharata hai kitane tohmat mujhpe wajud mera 
Jab bhi main dil ke andar chupchap dekhta hun 
Wo rahagujr kabhi jo manzil ki ibtida thi 
Usko main ab palatkar chupchap dekhata hun

Charkha by Javed Bashir

‘Charkha’ is a sufi song which has been sung by a lot of singers over the years and we’ve discussed about the song in the version sung by the sufi maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Here we are talking about the version which has been rendered by the Pakistani Sufi singer Javed Bashir. Javed Bashir came grab the attention of Indian audience with the 2012 bollywood song ‘Piya Tu Kahe Rootha Re’ from the movie Kahani and ‘Tera Naam Japdi Firan’ from Cocktail. He has also sung beautiful numbers like ‘O Rangrez’ from the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which shows that he is a master of classical music also. He is educated in Hindustani Classical music which is apparent in his singing. The song ‘Charkha’ which we are discussing here was performed by Javed Bashir in Coke Studio season-7 (Year 2014). This version is one of my favorites. It just compels you to tap your feet with the beats of the instruments in perfect sync of his magical voice.

Beparwah rang ka jaaya by Arijit Singh (Movie:Shahid)

"Beparwah rang ka jaaya" as the lyrics suggest makes you lost in a world where you become Beparwah (carefree). The song is composed by Karan Kulkarni  and appeared in the national award winning movie Shahid. The lyrics drops from the pen of Shaliendra Singh Sodhi known as  Shellee, famous for his lyrics in Dev D. Arijit Singh, the most promising and popular singer of the day has sung the song beautifully. Though it is the first composition of Karan Kulkarni, but with this song he makes his mark. The song has a beautiful opening and the use of instruments such as sarangi, ghunghrus, guitar is awesome. I simply love to hear it again and again. A perfect combination of lyrics, music and voice.

Lyrics:

Beparwah rang ka jaaya
Chitt laage na
Main uktaaya

Haal bayaan
Ho na haal bayaan
Hona faqat hai fanaa
Ranj ke sadke ho gayi jaan
Dhadkan jaise dhuaan...

Pyaar hai dheh sa gaya
Hai kadar kahaan
Mann hai yaadon ka ek majmaa

Beparwah rang ka jaaya
Chitt laage na
Main uktaaya

बेपरवाह…
रंग का जाया 
चित लागे ना 

हाल बयां
हो ना हाल बयां
होना फ़क़त है फ़ना 
रंज के सदके हो गई जान 
धड़कन जैसे धुंआ…आ…

प्यार है ढह सा गया 
है कदर कहाँ 
मन है यादों का एक मजमा

बेपरवाह…
रंग का जाया 
चित लागे ना
