I have been continuosly listening to this song " Dheere Dheere Saibo" but can't get enough of this. In addition to music of the song, I am more enchanted by the lyrics of the songs. There are one of the best lyrics I have heard in recent times. "Mann yeh saahib ji, jaane hai sab ji Phir bhi banaye bahaane Naina nawaabi ji, dekhe hain sab ji Phir bhi na samjhe ishaare Mann yeh saahib ji haan karta bahaane Naina nawaabi ji na samjhe ishaare (na samjhe ishaare) Dheere dheere, nainon ko dheere dheere Jiya ko dheere dheere bhaayo re Saibo Dheere dheere, begaana dheere dheere Apna sa dheere dheere lage re Saibo Surkhhiyaan hain hawaaon mein, do dilon ke milne ki Ho! Arziyaan hain nazaaron mein, lamha yeh tham jaane ki Kaisi huzoori ji yeh lab dikhlaaye Chuppi laga ke bhi ghazab hai yeh dhaaye Dheere dheere, nainon ko dheere dheere Jiya ko dheere dheere bhaayo re Saibo Dheere dheere, begaana dheere dheere Apna sa dheere dheere lage re Saibo Saibo... Saibo... Dheere Dheere... Dheere Dheere..." Discuss some other great lyrics to come out in recent times.

Good song. Great lyrics? No. Sorry. It is a song where everything comes together very well. Lyrics is often personal taste so obviously we will have differences but if you just pay a bit of careful attention you may see how out of place it seems. Not to seem overly critical but perhaps it comes out due to the background of the writer, Sameer. He used to be criticized in his heydays, when he was the pick lyricist for Nadeem Shravan and Anand Milind as man whose songs were simple tukbandi and composed in 10 words or less. It kinda seems at play here as well. The song has its base in Rajasthani, and while first two lines are Rajasthani background, it then leads to Hindi and rather simple at that. You can compare it with Gulzaar's Bidi Jalaile jigar se piya, where Gulzar is out of his comfort zone but even then his genius writes in the local dialect without meandering in Hindi. That all said, I am not critical of Sameer. I have highest regard for any lyricist because they create things and I love creativity. So yeah great song. Lyrics? Hmmm lets not get there. :)

Well, taste for lyrics is very much personal taste. You may have some fondness for certain kind of words and that reflects in your assessment of lyrics. From Omkara the movie you mentioned in your post, I had liked lyrics of Naina Thag Leinge much more than the lyrics of Bidi jalai le. Don't know if it has something to do with the use of word Naina or with tukbandi or the kind of dialect used.

I agree with Lurk. The lyrics sounds so unlike Samir. It's good, but on closer scrutiny, it's not really that great. But it's definitely very good by the general standards these days and is unbelievably good by the general standards of Samir himself.

Bidi jalaile is some very special lyrics. Javed Akhtar was recently asked if there is a song he wished he had writted himself and without hesitation, he said he wished he had written something like Bidi Jalaile. Gulzaar always was and still is the best.
