Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

जब दीप जले आना, जब शाम ढले आना
In a recent Indian Idol show, one of the contestants, Devinder Singh, evoked a standing ovation from Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj, after rendering this song. It seems that this episode of Indian Idol focused on songs based on classical ragas.
Although I don't quite know the context of the song in the movie story, it is obvious that the lovers are certainly reminiscing about their early days of courtship.

कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ...
There is a very valuable translation, and summary, of this song on the web and most of what is presented here is based on that: http://indiansongtranslations.blogspot.com/2008/07/english-translation-of-kabhi-kabhi-mere.html.
