Koi Baat Chale - Lyrics of a Legacy

Koi Baat Chale
Gulzar & Jagjit Singh
Photograph Courtesy Gulzar, India
This photograph captures genuine laughter while playing chess with Jagjit.
The photo shoot for the album cover of ‘Koi Baat Chale’ was ongoing and
we played the game in between photo shoots. I caught Jagjit cheating! He
moved his Knight 3½ squares. I pointed out that the correct move is 2½
squares! Jagjit said that he owns race horses and his horse moves 3½
squares!

Diary Notes : Koi Baat Chale - Appointed Consultant Surgeon in Swansea. Daily driving
of 100 miles (160 km) to and from work! Time well spent listening to these soothing
melodies. Gulzar Sahib’s narrations are mesmerising. ‘Zindagee Kyaa Hai Jaanane Ke
Li’ye’ & ‘Sehmaa Sehmaa
araa Saa Rehtaa Hai’ are my favourites.

Zindagee Kyaa Hai Jaan Ne Ke Li’ye
Zindaa Rehenaa Bohot Zarooree Hai
Aaj Tak Ko’ee Bhee Rahaa To Naheen
Saaree Waadee Udaas Baitthee Hai
- e Khudkushee Kar Lee
Ki ’ne Baarood Boyaa
hon Mein
Aao Hum Sub Pehenlein Aaeene
Saa’re Dekhenge Apnaa Hee Chehraa
Sub Ko Saa’re Haseen Lagenge Yahaan
Hai Naheen Jo Dikh ’ee Detaa Hai
Aaeene Par Chhapaa Huaa Chehraa
Tarjumaa Aaeene Kaa Theek Naheen
o halib Ne Ye Duaa Dee Thi
Tum Salaamat Raho Hazaar Baras
Ye Baras To Faqat Dinon Mein Gayaa
Lab Te’re Meer Ne Bhee Dekhe Hain
n
ee Ik Gulaab Kee See Hai
Baatein S n’te To halib Ho Jaa’te
Ai’ e i ’re Hain Raat Din Jai’ e
Motiyon Waalaa Haar Ttoott Gayaa

Aap Agar In Dinon Yahaan Ho’te
Hum Zameen Par Bhalaa Kahaan Ho’te
Waqt Guzraa Naheen Abhee Varnaa
Raet Par Paaon Ke Nishaan Ho’te
e’re A ’ e Naheen Thaa Gar Ko’ee
e’re Peechhe To Kaarwaan Ho’te
Te’re Saahil Pe Lautt Kar Aatee
Gar Ummeedon Ke Baadbaan Ho’te

Sehmaa Sehmaa araa Saa Rehtaa Hai
Jaa’ne Kyoon Jee Bharaa Saa Rehtaa Hai
Ishq Mein Aur Kuchh Naheen Hotaa
Aadmee Baawaraa Saa Rehtaa Hai
Ek Pal Dekh Loon To Utthtaa Hoon
Jal Gayaa Sub Zaraa Saa Rehtaa Hai
Chaand Jub Aasmaan Pe A J ’ e
Aap Kaa Aasraa Saa Rehtaa Hai

Phoolon Kee Tarah Lab Khol Kabhee
Khushboo Kee Zabaan Mein Bol Kabhee
Alfaaz Parakhtaa Rehtaa Hai
Aawaaz Humaaree Tol Kabhee
K i kee Mein Kattee Hain Sub Raatein
Kuchh Chauras Aur Kuchh Gol Kabhee
Ye Dil Bhee Dost Zameen Kee Tarah
