Songs for Someone – Chandan Sa Badhan…

This happened to me a few weeks back at a party. Someone inspired this beautiful Mukesh song into my mind. I think it was the smile that did me in… just like the last couple of lines of the first para of the song. But its in the rest of the lyrics that the true parallel emerged…

Chandan sa badan, Chanchal chitawan,
Dheere se teraa ye, musakaanaa,
Mujhe dosh naa denaa, jagawaalon,(2)
Ho jaaoo agar main, deewaanaa…
