And then there was women’s lib

Haha al, i can only hope that you have atleast synthesized a post-modernist intellectual justification for why it is you have been watching ‘jab we met’, even if you didnt share it with us.

The signs really were quite an institution, and as inimitable as they are, i cant help but comment on how some of the lyrics are almost psychotically cringeworthy.

Duniya se chupa leyna

I maintain that vital sign’s finest hour however, was aitebar (I love you too, shabnam), and few ballads can match the consonance they achieved b/w the lyrics and the overall feel of the song..

Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga
Milo to sahee
Raasta koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee

Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga

Dhoop mein khara jalraha houn mein
Saaya do mujhey
Yeh mera junoon
Yeh meri jalun
Hai meri saza

Meri yeh thakun
Kherahee hai kya
Suno to sahee, suno to sahee

Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga

Kya huwa agar zindagee
Zara bhoulsey gayey socho to zara,
Jungulon mein bhee raastey to hain
Humey bhee koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee

Pyar vyar bhee hohee gayey ga
Milo to sahee raasta koyee milhee jayeye ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee

Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga
Aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga.

Al, i see what you mean about the closet stalker sentiment, amply resonating here too.

Tum milgaye is another great song.

Next time, more about junoon’s early (fiery) attempts at music-ie. before sufi sal’s anointment.
