KAMINEY.....

No definitely am not writing about the movie but than the title track which requires a special attention.
The movie was pathetic according to me and I missed the song as I cannot recollect when it came and went in the movie. Its been sung by vishal bhardwaj himself and the music and the lyrics are simply awesome.

The lyrics are like this


(kya kare jindagi isako hum jo mile
isaki jaan kha gaye raat din ke gile) - (2)
raat din gile meri aaraju kamini, mere khaab bhi kaminey
ik dil se dosti thi ki hujur bhi kaminey
kya kare jindagi isako hum jo mile
isaki jaan kha gaye raat din ke gile

(kabhi jindagi se maanga pinjare mein chaand la do
kabhi laalten deke kahaan aasmaan pe taango) - (2)
jine ke sab karine hai hamesha se kaminey
kaminey, kaminey, kaminey, kaminey
meri daastaan kamini, mere raaste kaminey
ik dil se dosti thi yeh hujur bhi kaminey

jisaka bhi chehara chhila andar se aur nikala
maasum sa kabootar naacha toh more(peacock) niakala
kabhi hum kaminey nikale kabhi dusare kaminey
kaminey, kaminey, kaminey, kaminey
meri dosti kamini, mere yaar bhi kaminey
ik dil se dosti thi ki hujur bhi kaminey

well I don’t know about others but I strongly feel myself connected to this song. Somewhere down the line I feel myself completely submerged in the lyrics where he says

“kabhi jindagi se maanga pinjare mein chaand la do
kabhi laalten deke kahaan aasmaan pe tango”

don’t you think we have asked so many moments to be captured in our life and wish that the life would have never changed and should have been the same way or when we have not worked hard and expect the rewards to be greater (studies were the perfect example for me…..without studying god please pass me )

“Meri dosti kamini , mere yaar bhi kaminey”
no doubt about this line. They(my friends) said the movie is amazing and I should watch it.

jisaka bhi chehara chhila andar se aur nikala
maasum sa kabootar naacha toh mor niakala

So true the above line.How many times we have been mistaken about others having a judgement which was completely baseless, wrong and at the same time we may not have liked some1 at first but than after knowing that person we are like glad we met them.

kya kare jindagi isako hum jo mile
isaki jaan kha gaye raat din ke gile

Well this line was true in my life but in the past.Not anymore but I have seen many living with this sentence in their lives which makes me very sad.aisa nahi hai ki mujhe aaj apni life se koi gila nahi hai but at the same time I make sure I don’t have it often....I strongly feel that life must be feeling pathetic and miserable about itself when we have so many complains towards it.

After a long time I can relate myself to a song which has so much of meaning in it.


Thanks to Vishal Bhardwaj.
