क्या खूब लगती हो, बड़ी सुन्दर दिखती हो

[A reader of this blog requests this song, primarily for its getting filmed in an Afghanistan locale].

Romantic exchange.

तुम ने किसीसे कभी प्यार किया है?

A female lover engages with the male to understand his romantic intentions, but the male has something else on his mind ... The female does not seem to fully comprehend the male: She, in her own dream world, hears him say दीदार as दिल हार.

It almost seems like a nice sounding Bollywood song can be composed, no matter what the emotional situation.

कसमे वादे प्यार वफ़ा

Why the singer shows despair in this song is not clear in my memory, although there seems to be a parallel between the singer's despair, and the main character's. Nice music only makes it memorable.

फूल तुम्हे भेजा है ख़त में, फूल नहीं मेरा दिल है

"I have sent you a flower in this letter, but it is my heart and not just a flower,
Oh, my dear, please write me, whether this [heart] is worthy of your liking."

This kind of poetic outpour is at least good to visualize, even if one is not able to express it to one's lover.

बनाके क्यों बिगाड़ा रे

A woman who has suffered an ill-fated incident in her life questions whether she can trust God. Why? Because of the injustice meted out to her (by God, she thinks).

वादा कर ले साजना

A simple wish between the lovers, each exacting promise of love for ever from the other.

Observe the metaphors created by the poet, in describing the complementary nature of the lovers:

Singer (below)	Female	Male
Female	Heartbeat	Heart
Female	Wick	Lamp
Male	Destination	Traveler
Male	Shore	Wave

चांदी की दीवार न तोडी, प्यार भरा दिल तोड़ दिया

A Mukesh number where the man is unhappy that his lover has deserted him.

जीवन से भरी तेरी आँखें

A very good poetic way of describing the desirability of the lover, particularly if the lover is feminine.

पल भर के लिए कोई हमें प्यार कर ले

A rather naughty means of expressing romantic love.

ज़िंदगी का सफ़र है ये कैसा सफ़र

Simple summary of life, although through the eyes of an unhappy man.

"What kind of a journey is this life
That no one understands, no one learns about."

चाँद सी मेहबूबा हो मेरी

Nice way to describe how a lover appeals to a man. The sources for this blog entry are given below:

Another superb rendering by Kishore Kumar on the elusive nature of love.
