Many of us broke into tears when we heard the news about KK’s sudden demise. And, this loss felt so personal. The reason being KK wasn’t just a Bollywood playback singer. He was our life guide, who taught us what love is; what friendship is! When our hearts broke, he was there for us. Our parents might not have understood the pain of our broken hearts, but he surely did. In times, when we were lonely and heartbroken, his songs gave us that no one else did -“Sukoon”!
No school or college farewell was complete without playing – Yaaron Dosti Badi Hi Haseen Hai and Yaad Aayenge Pal, which became farewell anthems. No breakup felt real without playing Tadap Tadap on loop. No dance party was successful without blasting Dus Bahane on full volume. No love story felt real without the song “Tu Hi Meri Shabb Hai” or “Khudda Jaane”.
KK’s song made us feel that he knew us even better than our family and friends. So, for us, it’s not just a talented singer, who died. It’s a friend, a family member, a guide, a mentor, or a therapist – who died. For many of us, KK’s death feels like a personal loss. Here are the lyrics of some of KK’s best songs to remind us of what we lost today!
Beete Lamhein (The Train)
“Dard mein bhi yeh lab
Muskura jaate hai
Beete lamhein humein
Jab bhi yaad aate hai”
Ajab Si (Om Shanti Om)
” Aankhon mein teri…
Ajab si, ajab si adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain”
Yaaron (Pal)
“Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
Bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to ho raajdaan
Be garaj tera ho yaar
Koi to ho raajdaar“
Yaaron (Pal)
“Teri har ek buraai pe daante vo dost
Gam ki ho dhoop to saaya bane tera vo dost
Naache bhi vo teri khushi main“
Tadap Tadap Ke (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam)
“Tadap Tadap ke is dil se aah nikalti rahi,
Mujhko saza di pyaar ki, Aisa kya gunah kiya,
Toh lut gaye, Haan lut gaye,
Toh lut gaye, Hum teri mohabbat mein”
Alvida Alvida (Life In A Metro)
“Alvida, alvida..meri raahein alvida
Meri sansein kehti hai alvida..
Alvida alvida..Ab kehna aur kya
Jab tune keh diya alvida“
Khuda Jaane (Bachna Ae Haseeno )
“Khuda jaane ke mein fida hoon,
Khuda jaane mein mitt gaya,
Khuda jaane yeh kyun hua hai,
Ke ban gaye ho tum mere Khuda”
Tu Aashiqui Hai (Jhankaar Beats)
“Tu hai aasmaan main, teri yeh zameen hai
Tu jo hai to sab kuch hai na koi kami hai
Tu hi dil hai tu hi jaan bhi hai
Tu khushi hai aasra bhi hai
Teri chaahat zindagi hai
Tu mohabbat, tu aashiqui hai”
Sach Keh Raha Hai (RHTDM)
“Sach keh raha hai deewana dil, dil na kisi se lagaana
Jhoothe hai yaar ke vaade saare
Jhoothi hai pyaar ki kasmein
Maine har lamha jisse chaaha
Jisse pooja ussi ne yaaron mera dil toda toda
Tanha tanha chhoda”
Awarapan Banjarapan (Jism)
“Jane yeh kaisi aag lagi hai Isme dhuwa na chingari
Ho na ho uss par kahi koi Khwab jala hai sine me
Awarapan banjarapan ek hala hai sine me”
Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai (Woh Lamhe)
“Kyun aajkal neend kam khwaab zyada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi naek iraada hain
Kal ka fakir dil aaj shehzada hain
Lagta khuda ka koi naek iraada hain
Kya mujhe pyar hain aah
Kaisa khumaar hain aah”
Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai (Woh Lamhe)
“Pathhar ke inn raston pe
Phoolon ki ek chadar hain
Jabse mile ho humko
Badla har ik manzar hain
Dekho jahaan mein neele neele aasmaan tale
Rang naye naye hain jaise ghulte hue
Soye he khwaab mere jaage tere waaste
Tere khayaalon me hai bheege mere raaste”
Beete Lamhein (The Train)
“Aaj bhi jab woh pal
Mujhko yaad aate hain
Dil se saare gumo ko
Bhoola jate hai”
Pal (Pal )
“Hum rahen ya na rahen kal
Kal yaad aayenge ke ye pal
Pal, ye hain pyar ke pal
Chal, aa mere sang chal
Chal, soche kya, Chhoti si, hai zindagi
Kal, mil jaaye to hogi khush-naseebi“
Dear KK, You will be missed!
