Let’s revisit the old times and see some of the beautiful lyrics written by Javed Akhtar, for some love songs, which wouldn’t have been very famous if it wouldn’t be for his lyrics.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
Jaise Subahon ka Roop
Jaise Sardi Ki Dhoop
Jaise Veena Ki Taan
Jaise Rangon Ki Jaan…..
These beautiful lyrics will surely make even a heartless person want to fall in love.
In Lamhon ke daaman mein
Pakeezah se rishte hai
Koi Kalma Mohabbat ka
Dohrate farsihte hai
These Lyrics from the movie Jodha Akbar will melt anyone’s heart…
Ghar Se Nikalte Hi,
Kuch door Chalte hi
Raste mein hai uska Ghar
Kal Subah Dekha toh,
Baal banati voh
Khidki mein aayi Nazar
After listening to these lyrics we so wish our crushes would’ve been living near our houses too.
and finally…..
Mai Koi Aisa geet gaoon
Ke aarzoon jagaoon
Agar Tum Kaho
Tum ko bulaoon
Yeh palkein bichaoon
Qadam Tum Kaha rakho
Zameen ko aasma banaoon
Sitaron se Sajaoon
Agar Tum kahoon
