Dhoop ke sikke

Well I just read my friend Jaykumar's blog and he did just what I was about to do.

That is I also wanted to post the lyrics of a song which in recent times

has affected me a lot.

Written by Prasoon Joshi for the movie Sikander, I got goosebumps

when I heard the lines of second stanza.(highlighted in navy blue)

The lyrics do only half the work, go hear Shankar's vocals;

as usual he gives his best.

Tee ri ree.. ree ri ree.. Tee ri ri ri ree.. ree ri ree.. (6)
(Anusha)
Dhoop ke sikke.. uthaakar gunguna de use
Baingani kachche hatheli par sajaane do use (2)
(Shankar)
Bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
Zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do (2)
Behne do… (4)
(Anusha)
Tee ri ree.. ree ri ree.. Tee ri ri ri ree.. ree ri ree.. (2)

(Shankar)
Barood jab bachcha tha woh titli pakadta tha
Woh ambiya bhi churaata tha.. patangon par jhagadta tha
Agar tum uska maanjha lootte woh kuch nahi kehta
Thoda naaraaz to hota.. magar phir bhi woh khush rehta..
Magar dhoke se tumne uska bachpan bhi to loota hai
Zara dekho to uski aankh mein woh kabse rootha hai
Jugnuon ki roshni mein dil lagaane do use..
Dil lagaa..ne do use..

(Anusha)
Dhoop ke sikke.. uthaakar gunguna de use
Baingani kachche hatheli par sajaane do use
(Shankar)
Bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
Zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do (2)
Behne do… (2)

(Shankar)
Pa.. Pa Sa Ga Ma.. Ga.. Sa Dha.. Dha Ma..
Ga Ma Pa Sa Ga Ma Pa.. Ma
Ga Ma Pa Ni.. Dha.. Ma…
Ma.. Sa Ga Ma Pa Dha Sa Dha..
Ma Dha Sa Ga Ma Pa Ma.. Ga Sa Ga..
Sa Dha Ma Pa Dha Sa.. Sa..

(Shankar)
Bahut jaldi dupatte odhna sikhla rahe hai hum
Kyon zindagi ko raat se milva rahe hai hum
Woh palloo se chipak kar maa ki chalti thi to achchi thi
Akela chodkar usko kya kehna chaah rahe hai hum
Kya kehna chaah rahe hai hum (Anusha)
Ek gehri neend se humko jagaane do use
Jagaa..ne do use..

(Anusha)
Dhoop ke sikke.. uthaakar gunguna de use
Baingani kachche hatheli par sajaane do use
(Shankar)
Bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
Zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do
Bholi bhaali bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
Zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do
Behne do… (4)

(Anusha)
Tee ri ree.. ree ri ree.. Tee ri ri ri ree.. ree ri ree.. (4)
(Shankar)
Zindagi ko.. behne.. do..
Bholi bhaali.. bholi bhaali.. bholi bhaali rehne do..
Zindagi.. ko behne do..
