Sheeshe Ka Samundar by Rekha Bhardwaj (Movie:Xpose)

Some films come and disappear from the way they come, but some songs which don't find limelight easily comes to you and stuck somewhere in your heart and soul. I came across such a song from the movie Xpose. The movie and its composer's name (Himesh Reshamiya) may not prompt you to listen this song but its singer alone can force you to listen it once and then again and again. It is the song Sheeshe ka samundar which has been sung by Rekha Bhardwaj in her soulful voice which gives it a sufi touch also. The beautiful somewhat mystic lyrics has been surprisingly penned by Sameer, who generally is not famous for such lyrics. The best thing about the song is its singer. Rekha has poured the pain of the lyrics in her voice and let it out in her superb voice. Though the song has two versions, one by Ankit Tiwari and another one a reprise version by Rekha Bhardaj, but I like the reprise version only.

Lyrics:

शीशे का समंदर, पानी की दीवारें
माया है, भरम है मोहब्बत की दुनिया
इस दुनिया में जो भी गया वो तो गया

बर्फ की रेतों पे, शरारों का ठिकाना
गर्म सेहराओं में नर्मियों का फ़साना
यादों का आईना टूटता है जहाँ
सच की परछाइयाँ हर जगह आती हैं नज़र

सोने के हैं बादल, पत्थरों की बारिश
माया है, भरम है मोहब्बत की दुनिया
इस दुनिया में जो भी गया वो तो गया

दिल की इस दुनिया में सरहदें होती नहीं
दर्द भरी आँखों में राहतें सोती नहीं
जितने अहसास हैं अनबुझी प्यास हैं
ज़िंदगी का फलसफ़ा प्यार की पनाहों में छुपा

धूप की हवाएँ, काँटों के बगीचे
माया है, भरम है मोहब्बत की दुनिया
इस दुनिया में जो भी गया वो तो गया

Sheeshe ka samundar
Paani ki deewarein

Sheeshe ka samundar
Paani ki deewarein
Maaya hai bharam hai
Mohabbat ki duniya
Iss duniya mein jo bhi gayaa
Woh to gaya

Hosheeshe ka samandar
Paani ki deewarein
Maya hai bharam hai
Mohabbat ki duniya
Iss duniya mein jo bhi gayaa
Woh to gaya!

Hosheeshe ka samundar
Paani ki deewarein

Barf ki reton pe

Shararon ka thikana
Garm sehraaon mein
Narmiyon ka fasaana
Yaadon ka aaina
Uthta hai jahaan
Sach ki parchaaiyan
Har jagah aati hai nazar

Sone ke hain baadal
Pattharon ki barish
Maya hai bharam hai
Mohabbat ki duniya
Iss duniya mein jo bhi gayaa
Woh to gaya!

Hoseeshe ka samundar
Paani ki deewarein
Wo o o   

Dil ki iss duniya mein
Sarhadein hoti nahi
Dard bhari aankhon mein
Raahatein soti nahi
Jitne ehsaas hain
An-bujhi pyaas hai
Zindagi ka falsafa
Pyaar ki panahon mein chhupa

Dhoop ki hawaayein
Kaanton ke bageeche
Maya hai bharam hai
Mohabbat ki duniya
Iss duniya mein jo bhi gayaa
Woh to gaya!

Hoshishe ka samandar
Paani ki deewarein
