Lyrics:

Husn-e-jaana ki tareef mumkin nahi
Afreen afreen
Afreen afreen
Tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe hum-nashi
Afreen afreen
Afreen afreen

Aisaa dekha nahi khubsoorat koi
Jism jaise Ajanta ki murat koi
Jism jaise nigahon pe jadoo koi
Jism nagma koi, jism khusboo koi
Jism jaise machalti hui raagini
Jism jaise mehakti hui chandni
Jism jaise hai khilta hua ek chaman
Jism jaise hai suraj ki pehli kiran
Jism tarsha hua, dilkash-o-dilnashi
Sandali sandali
Makhmali makhmali

Afreen afreen
Afreen afreen

Aankhen dekhi to main dekhta reh gaya
Jaam do aur dono hi do aatisha
Aankhen ya maikade ke do baab hain
Aankhen unko kahoon, ya kahoon khwaab hai
Aankhen neechi hui to hayaa ban gayi
Aankhen oonchi hui to dua ban gayi
Aankhen uth kar jukhi to adaa ban gayi
Aankhen jhuk kar uthi to fazaa ban gayi
Aankhen jin mein hain qaid aasmaan-o-zamin
Nargisi nargisi
Surmayi surmayi

Parikrama - But It Rained!

One of the best rock songs composed by an Indian band ever. I remember college days when I used to listen to this song back to back day and night... This is still one of my all time favorites. Click here to know more about Parikrama.

Lyrics

Wrapped in a polythene tucked away safe in my mind
A little goodbye maybe or just a passing smile

The birds fly away to the southern sky searching a home
A bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all alone
Can somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far away
Morning who will calm you now, the evening is eclipsed again

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .

They justified the cause for which Daddy might give up his life
It's been so long, so long a time, still I miss Daddy at night
The ache is long gone but the never keeps staring along
The waters in the seas are high
and all the sand castles have drowned

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .
