Hamri Atariya Pe By Begum Akhtar

The song "Hamri Atariya Pe" has been sung by many singers over the time. We have seen different renditions of this song recently in films like Satyagrah and Dedh Ishqia. But we're talking about the version which has been sung by the great Hindustani Classical Singer Mallika-e-Ghazal Begum Akhtar in the form of dadra. Unlike other renditions of the song we find that Begum akhtar has echoed the pain of the words in her voice. 



One more beautiful presentation of this song is in the voice of Indian folk singer Malini Awasthi. You may like to hear this version also. To listen to this version Pls Click Here


Lyrics:

Hamari Atariya Pe Aao Sanwariya
Dekha Dekhi Balam Hoi Jaaye

Hamari Atariya Pe..

Tasavur me chale aate ho 

kuch baatein bhi hoti hain
sab-E-furkat bhi hoti hai
mulakaatein bhi hoti hain
Hamari Atariya Pe Aao Sanwariya
Dekha Dekhi Balam Hoi Jaaye

Hamari Atariya Pe..

Prem ki bhiksha maange bhikharan
laaj hamaari rakhiyo saajan
aao sajan tum hamre dware
saara jhagda khatam hui jaaye
Hamari Atariya Pe..

tumhari yaad aansoo banke aayi
chashm-E-veeran mein
jahe kismat ke veeranon mein
barsaatein bhi hoti hain
Hamari Atariya Pe Aao Sanwariya
Dekha Dekhi Balam Hoi Jaaye

Hamari Atariya Pe aao..

Woh Jo Humme Tumme Karaar Tha by Begum Akhtar

For those of us who listen to Hindi or Urdu Ghazals, there are undoubtedly a few special favorites we can never get tired of listening to. Recently I came across this song when i heard this song in the movie Dedh Ishqiya where it plays in the background. The ghazal "Woh Jo Humme Tumme Karaar Tha" has been sung by various singers. The most beautiful version is the one sung by the Mallika-E-Ghazal Begum AkhtarShe has sung it so beautifully that even after you end up listening to the song it echoes into your ears for a long time and you yearn to hear it again and again. 




One more Beautiful rendition of the ghazal is here by the great ghazal singer Ghulam Ali in a classical ghazal singing style. 



Lyrics:

वो जो हममे तुममे क़रार था तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो

वही यानी वादा निबाह का तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

वो नए गिले वो शिकायतें वो मज़े-मज़े की हिकायतें
वो हर एक बात पे रूठना तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

कभी हममें तुममें भी चाह थी कभी हम से तुम से भी राह थी
कभी हम भी तुम भी थे आश्ना तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

जिसे आप गिनते थे आश्ना जिसे आप कहते थे बावफ़ा 
मैं वही हूँ “मोमिन”-ए-मुब्तला तुम्हें याद हो के न याद हो।

Piya ghar aavengey by Kailash Kher

Piya Ghar Aavengey is a spritual song or sort of Bhajan written and sung by Kailash Kher. The song appeared first in the album Chaandan Mein. The song has been composed by Kailash-Paresh-Naresh (This band is called Kailasa). The words celebrate the meeting of the soul with the Almighty God. Here i present the version of the song that was sung by Kailash Kher in Coke Studio because i love their orchestra. Khelash Kher has a awesome voice and a different level in which he can beautifully sustain on the higher notes, though he is average on the lower notes and that's why the song picks up when after the opening lines Kailash takes it to the higher octave. Overall a lovely song that compels you to replay it once you finish it. 





Lyrics


Chokh puraavo
Maati rangaavo
Aaj mere piya ghar aavengey
Khabar sunaaun jo
Khushi reh bataaun jo
Aaj mere piya ghar aavengey
Aaj mere piya ghar aavengey
Heri sakhi mangal gaao ree
Dharti ambar sajaao ree
Utregi aaj mere pee ki sawaari
Har koi kaajal laau ree
Mohey kaala teeka lagaao ree
Unki chhab se dikhu main to pyaari
Lachhmi ji vaaro
Nazar utaaro
Aaj mere piya ghar aavenge
Aaj mere piya ghar aavenge
Rangon se rang miley
Naye naye dhang khiley
Khushi aaj dwaar mere daaley hai dera
Peehu peehu papiha ratey
Kuhu kuhu koyal japey
Aangan aagan hai pariyon ne ghera
Anhad naad bajaao sab mil
Aaj mere piya ghar aavenge
Aaj mere piya ghar aavenge
Hey ri Ohooo
Hey ri Hey ri
Anhad naad bajaa ri sab mil
Anhad naad bajaa ri sab mil
Anhad naad bajaa ri sab mil
