Lyrics: Indeevar
Composer: Biddu

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye

Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye

It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye

Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye

It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Phool Ko Bahaar, Bahaar Ko Chaman

Flowers need Spring, Spring needs garden

Dil Ko Dil, Badan Ko Badan

Heart needs heart body needs body

Har Kisiko Chahiye Tan Ka Milan

Everyone wants physical relationships attachment

Kash Mujh Par Aisa Dil Aapka Bhi Aaye

I hope wish that your heart will also feel like this for me

To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye

It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye

Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye

It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Maein Insaan Hoon, Farishta Nahin

I am a human being not a messenger of god or angel

Dar Hai Behak, Na Jaun Kahin

I fear that I may go out of the control

Tanha Dil Na Sambhlega

Lonely heart may not stay in control

Pyar Bina Yeh Tadpega

Without love heart will suffer

Aapsa Kahan Hai Dil Aapko Hi Paaye

No one is like you; My heart only wants to reach you

To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye

It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Lyrics: Billy Corgan

My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
I'm going crazy
I'm going crazy
I don't want feelings
Your feelings
I have gone crazy
Motherfucking crazy
I have gone

Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
Composer: S.D. Burman

Hai apna dil to awara
Na jaane kise Pe Aayegaa
My heart is a vagabond.
It will go to someone unknowingly

Haseena ne bulaya
Gale se bhee lagaya
Bahot samazaaya,
Yahee na samaza
Beauties called me, they even embraced me
They tried hard to explain, but my heart did not understand

Bahot bhola hain bechara
Na jaane kis pe aayega
It is very helplessly innocent
Who knows, on whom it will reach

Hai apna dil to awara
Na jaane kispe aayega
My heart is a vagabond.
It will go to someone unknowingly

Lyrics: Neil Peart

The dancer slows her frantic pace In pain and desperation
Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire With just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory The echoes of old applause.

She limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door...
The writer stare with glassy eyes
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more
Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
The bell tolls for
For you the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...
The bell tolls for thee...

Paras Pyara

I do not care about the worldly pains; nor do I wish to have heavenly pleasures,

I am mainly longing for the end of this cycle to birth and death.

Lanchon Bar Tumhe Shish Navanun, Jagaka Nāth Tumheen Kaise Pāun

Pankaj Vyakul bhaya, Darshan Bin Ye Jiya

Lage Khārā

We bow to you millions of times, O Lord of this universe, how can we get close to you?

Pankaj (the poet) is anxious without your sight (blessings), and

Life feels barren without you.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
