Lyrics are the life line of the any song. I am always been fan of good lyrics and I hate the songs which do not make any sense. I try to go through the lyrics if I start to like the song. Ironically there are many songs which are either music based or video based and have not much of meaning nor sense. These lyrics are good to read and to remember so that you do not make such mistake if you want to write up some day ;)
Well, I recently started listening to Kabhi alvida na kehna's title song. Its quite impressive lyrics and after you listen the song for 3-4 times, you start liking it..something which usually happens with A.R.Rehman's songs.
Let me see if I can critic this song....this would be first of its kind that am trying to write up.
here are the lyrics that I found online (I have corrected the typos)....as time goes on, I will add my comments on the lines...
Lyricist: Javed Akhtar (one of my favorite)
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
First time listeners would expect more from lyrics as Khabar and Pata do not rhyme, but you wont feel it after a while
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Definetly situational
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon mein rehna
This is the most important phrase of the whole song.
The beauty of this line is that even though you are referencing this line to other person, you are implying it to yourself; to remember and not to forget!
Its a huge difference from a usual line like "Dur jaake bhi mujshe, mujhe yaad rakhna".
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Jitni thi khushiyaa
Sab kho chuki hai
Bas ek gham hai ki jaata nahi
jaata nahin
Samjha ke dekha behla ke dekha
Dil hai ki chain isko aata nahi
Aansun hai ki hai angarayee
Definetly you can relate tears to angarayee but here it creates much more sense with the next line, though redundant.
I wonder how the lyrcist gets involved into the poem. Its tough to write up without being in that situation. I know its the skill and that is why they are famous, but definetly appreciable.
Aag hai kab aankhon se behna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Rut aa rahi hai
Rut jaa rahi hai
Dard ka mausam badla nahi
Rang yeh haalka itna hai gehra
Sadiyon main hoga halka nahi
Lovely line....this brings out the complete picturisque representation of the song...sadiyon main hoga halka nahi....shows the gravity of the pain and you can relate all the feelings as if you are looking at the painting...
Halka nahi
Kaun jaane kya hona hai
Hum ko hai ab kya kya sehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehnaa
Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon main rehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
kabhi alvida na kehna

Anna irgadisinav kade.........
Man, You were so close to KANKAL ,but disppointed me with KANK..
Great Job ! that was a very nice song and i liked it at the first shot itself though i realised the nice and simple lyrics (always the case by akthar)more in the next iterations.
But i never even thought of putting all these things into words that was an excellent idea... and gud execution too, esp the line "door jaake bhi mujhse......"
so whats the next one ? :)
Swapna...very glad to see your comment....hmmm now that I have somemore ppl who are reading...i will write more..
