एक परदेसी मेरा दिल ले गया

A recent suggestion by someone is the prompt for this post.

"A foreigner stole my heart ..."

चौदवीं का चाँद हो, या अफताब हो

Sonu Nigam's concert in San Jose on 23 June 2012 reminded of how beautiful this song is.

Description of a lover. The brilliance of the female [face] is likened to the full moon, sun, ... and the description culminates in "whatever you are, you are second to none."

Hair, face and lips are described, in poetic fashion.

[Note: You are recommended to understand the meaning before you enjoy the song in its fullest].

तारीफ़ करूँ क्या उसकी, जिसने तुम्हे बनाया

One of the interesting things in this song's lyrics is the manner in which the male describes his lover's beauty:

What appreciation shall I show him/her [God], who made you [so beautiful]?

An indirect way of saying to her: "You are beautiful."

ज़िन्दगी भर नहीं भूलेगी

This poetry in describing a woman's beauty is exquisite. My blogger friend, Pratik, has created the Hindi transliteration.

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:

Female	Heartbeat	Heart

Male	Destination	Traveler
Male	Shore	Wave

तेरे मेरे सपने अब एक रंग है
