Oh I'm sure you can do a few more songs please! I've just read throug the whole thread & I loved it! A LOT of my favourite Rafi songs are on here, I was actually singing them in my head whilst reading the lyrics! The songs these days just CANNOT be compared to the Golden Oldies, I actually get angry when I hear the old songs re-mixed!! I refuse to listen to them! Anyway, thanks for this thread Abdool, maybe you can start one on Lata/Kishore!
Hi Abdool, I've just seen this thread about the greatest Hindi playback singer that ever lived! I have grown up listening to Rafi songs & still consider him the best. No one can out do his fantastic voice. I'm so glad that you have started this thread and I really appreciate all the information and songs you have put up. Keep it up!
Awwww thanks for replying! I've been busy with the boys and other things so I haven't had much time to come on here. I'm job hunting at the moment as I need to go back to work, money's tight!! Tayba, how are things with you? Oh belated Ramzan Mubabrak!! How's the fasting going? It's not too bad this year! Boo, how's things with you? What are you up to these days? I shall keep in touch & try to visit this site more often! So, take care & will 'speak' to you soon.
Lots of love

ab to hai tumse har khushii apnii Every happiness of mine I now owe to you.

jab ho gaya tum pe yeh dil diiwaana Now that my heart has gone mad for you,
phir chaahe jo bhii kahe ham ko zamaana no matter what the world calls me
koii banaa’e baate.n chaahe ab jitnii or how much people talk about me,
ab to hai tumse har khushii apnii each of my joys will come only from you.
tum pe marna hai zi.ndagii apnii My life is mine only so I can die loving you.
tere pyaar me.n badnaam duur duur ho gaye Loving you made me notorious far and wide.
tere saath ham bhii sanam mashahuur ho gaye With you, my love, I became famous as well.
dekho kahaa.n le jaa’e bekhudii apnii Let’s see where our ecstasy takes us.
ab to hai tumse har khushii apnii Every happiness of mine I now owe to you.
tum pe marna hai zi.ndagii apnii My life is mine only so I can die loving you.

This is such a beautiful song, I was listening to it this morning in the car on the way to school! I can’t help with the translation as my Hindi is very bad! Hopefully someone else can help you out. Sorry about that.

Hi Kristin, you can find the Veer Zaara lyrics on the following link:
Not too sure where the Madhoshi lyrics can be found but I’m sure someone else can help you out there.

Gawd blimey!!!
These people, honestly!! WHY get married, make all those vows, promise, ’till death us do part’ blah blah blah then see what happens! They run off with a younger & more attractive model than their first ones. Just see Saif & Aamir!! OK Saif & Amrita should NEVER have married in the first place because she was too old for him (my opinion), however it’s the children I feel extremely sorry for. Poor kids

It’s done by Ashutosh Gowrikar, should be good then. Don’t know who Gayatri is though.

From what I know about this film, Shahrukh plays an engineer who leaves India to go to the USA & works for NASA. Some of the film was actually shot at NASA.
