ज़रा सी दिल में दे जगा तू

When you understand the variety of pleadings of the male with the female for her love, you wonder how spontaneous this feelings can be in real people. But, you have to appreciate the poet's attempt to capture these thoughts.

The manner in which the singing is punctuated by the screeching halt of the automobile, and the dialogue about betting in a game of cricket,

"When you are so good at betting, why don't you become a bookie yourself?",

you have to credit the Bollywood creativity!

खुदा जाने ...

The use of the word 'God' to refer to a lover is a powerful one. At once, it shows respect for the other person and seems to obliquely refer to the God in one and all.

In this song from the movie बचना ये हसीनो, lyricist अन्विता दत्त गुप्तन seems to have done well in weaving the word 'God' into the song; of course, रणबीर कपूर and दीपिका पादुकोण have complemented in their rendering of the music video too, and the voices are given by singers KK and Shilpa Rao.
