Galli mein Aaj Chand Nikla (The moon has re-appeared in my lane)

7 July 2008

This is a great song from a brilliant, but less known film Zakhm (wound). The film dealt with the thorny issue of communalism during the Bombay riots of 1990s; and how the protagonists’ concurrently bear Hindu and Muslim identities making it difficult for them to side with one particular group. In the final analysis, the film turns the whole subject around and articulates a strong yet subtle message of humanism.

Galli mein aaj chand nikla (The moon has re-appeared in my lane) has an old-world feel about it; the composition invokes the age of early Bollywood music and the lyrics are quite moving as well.

Aaj ke daur mein ai dost ye manzar kyon hai
zakhm har sar pe, har haath mein pathhar kyon hai

Jab haqeeqat hai ke har zarre mein Tu rehta hai
phir kahin masalaa-e-masjid kahin mandir kyon hai

Apnaa anjaam toh maaluum hai sabko phir bhi
apni nazron mein har insaan sikandar kyon hai

Zindagi jeene ke qaabil hi nahi ab ‘Qateel’
warna har aankh mein ashkon ka samandar kyon hai
