Ranjha by Rupesh Kumar Ram (Movie:Queen)

Apart from some good numbers like Badra Bahar, Harjaiya and Jungni (with superb lyrics) from the album Queen, there is one more song that somewhat went unnoticed from music lovers and that song is Ranjha for which Rupesh Kumar Ram has lent his voice. Though he has composed the song himself but couldn't get the credit for the same. Actually Rupesh worked on a Punjabi album earlier, which never saw the light of day. Ranjha was a part of that album. What I personally liked in this song is the rawness of his voice as well as very simple and good touching lyrics, penned by Raghu Nath. What appeals most in the song is its minimal instruments and aptly brought out emotions by the singer in his fresh raw voice.

Lyrics

किन्‍ना सोणा यार हीर वेखदी नज़ारा
राँझा मेरे राँझा, राँझा मेरे राँझा
मज्‍झा चारदा बिचारा, ओ राँझा मेरा राँझा...

मैं हीर हाँ तेरी, मैं पीड़ हाँ तेरी
जे तू बद्दल काला, मैं नीर हाँ तेरी
कर जाणिए राँझे, हो डर जाणिए राँझे
ऊपरों तेरियां सोचाँ, मर जाणिए राँझे
मेरा रांझा मैं राँझे दी, राँझा है चितचोर
जे करके वो मिल जाए ताँ, की चाहिदा है होर
हो मेरा मेरा राँझा. ओ राँझा मेरा राँझा...

तेरी आन हाँ राँझे, तेरी शान हाँ राँझे
दिल विच मय्यों धड़का, तेरी जान हाँ राँझे
किक्कराँ सुक्‍खण लागियाँ, उमरां मुक्‍कण लगियाँ
हो मैनू मिल गया राँझा, नबजाँ रूक्‍कण लगियाँ
मेरा राँझा मैं राँझे दी, राँझा है चितचोर
हुण तां मैंनू मिल गया राँझा, की चाहिदा है होर
ओ मेरा मेरा राँझा, राँझा मेरा राँझा...

Kinna sohna yaar heer Vekh di nazaara

Hund ta mainu mil gaya ranjha Ki chahinda hai haur
Ho mera mera ranjha

Ho ranjha, mera ranjha
Ho ranjha, mera ranjha
