Channa Mereya...

Sometimes some songs just hit you so hard that you keep on thinking over it. 

Yesterday, Karan Johar released a new track "channa mereya" of his upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. It is a song that gives words to the emotions of heartbreak and it's essentially a parting song. And the words just kept touched me deep inside as they meant so much. Ranbir as usual killed it with his beautiful expressions and acting, adding power in the song.

And today as i was walking back to my apartment, it caught my train of thoughts.. This is what i was unable to express when Radhs was getting married. I had not written much about the how i felt seeing Radhs getting married (in post below) and had summed it up in 3 lines (highlighted below).

(After the marriage ceremony, i had left early to go home for some work. I was a li'l uncomfortable also with so many unknown faces around me. I had sms'd Radhs and Rakesh while leaving and they had replied me asking  me to come next day for lunch at Radhs place where they were going after the marriage)

And now i feel that this songs speaks what i could not write. May be that is why the writer of this song is writing for films while i post here :P 

A few lines of the song below - 


Accha chalta hoon

Duaaon mein yaad rakhna
Mere zikr ka zubaan pe swaad rakhna 

Dil ke sandookon mein
Mere acche kaam rakhna
Chitthi taaron mein bhi
Mera tu salaam rakhna


Andhera tera maine le liya
Mera ujla sitaara tere naam kiya


Channa mereya mereya 
Channa mereya mereya

[channa mereya = my beloved (my moon)]
Channa mereya mereya beliya
O piya..
