RAVI to Me
I have been having trouble sleeping at night.
There is a song that goes “aap ki aankhon mein kuch” – it is sung by Kishoreda in a movie called Ghar. There is lyrics in this song that goes – “lab hile to mogre ke phool khilte hain kahin”.
I don’t believe I have ever seen a mogra phool in my life or if I have I probably wasn’t paying attention at the time but I have heard from people that this flower is white in color. Does this makes sense to you then that this guy is comparing a woman’s lips with a white flower? Shouldn’t he be comparing it to something red or pink in color like a rose or something? This doesn’t make sense or as they say in Sanskrit – this doesn’t makum sensum.
The song is beautiful in every other way – great background music, great singing by Kishora Kumarum but it is messed by this one silly mistake in the lyrics. If I was grading this song, I would give it 85 out of 100 marks, taking 15 points away solely for this faux pas in lyrics.
The lyricist should be beaten with chappals for this mistake. If he is dead and buried, he should be dug up and then beaten with chappals for this mistake of messing up this song and my sleep.
