You will see it often on my blog I think. Naina Thag Lenge lyrics from Omkara sung by rahat nusrat fateh ali khan and music directed by vishal bhardwaj and composed by vishal bhardwaj. But Omkara’s underrated gem in the soundtrack was ‘Naina Thag Lenge‘. Full and accurate LYRICS for Naina Thag Lenge from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan: Lyrics, Naino Ki Mat Maaniyo Re, Naino Ki Mat Suniyo, Naino Ki Mat Maaniyo Re.
The collaboration of Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar spins magic that gets my translation instincts going in an over-drive sometime. Born Sampooran Singh Kalra in Deena, in the Jhelum District in what is now Pakistan, he came to Delhi after the partition during independence as a poet. His films, sensitive, lyrical, and yet successful, were a welcome relief from the violent films that filled the 1970s and 1980s. This metaphor-rich song talking about the devilish magic of eyes (naina) is one of the many genius pieces by Gulzar that amazes me with its profoundly simple expression. Gulzar is a writer, a lyricist, a director and, at heart, a poet.
