Pritam Lyrics

इत्ति सी खुशी
इत्ता सा टुकड़ा चाँद का
ख्वाबों के तिनको से
चल बनाए आशियाँ
इत्ति सी हँसी
इत्ति सी खुशी
इत्ता सा टुकड़ा चाँद का
चल बनाए आशियाँ
दबे दबे पाओं से
आए हौले हौले ज़िंदगी
होंठों पे उंगली चढ़ा के
हम ताले लगा के चल
गुमसूँ तराने
चुपके चुपके गाए
आधी आधी बाँट ले
आजा दिल की ये ज़मीं
थोड़ा सा तेरा सा होगा
थोड़ा मेरा भी होगा अपना ये आशियाँ
इत्ति सी हँसी (उपायी)
इत्ति सी खुशी (उपायी)
इत्ता सा टुकड़ा चाँद का (उपायी)
ख्वाबों के तिनको से (आ हां हां )
चल बनाए आशियाँ (आ हां हां )
प पा र पा पा र पा प पा र पा पा र पा
ना हो चार दीवारें
फिर भी झरोखे खुले
बादलों के होंठों पे
शाखे हरी पंखा चले
ना हो कोई तकरारें
अर्रे मस्ती ठहाके चले (आह हां हां)
प्यार के सिक्कों से (आह हां हां)
महीने का खर्चा चले (आह हां हां)
दबे दबे पाओं से
आए हौले हौले ज़िंदगी
होंठों पे उंगली चढ़ा के (आह हां हां)
हम ताले लगा के चल (आह हां हां)
गुमसूँ तराने (आह हां हां)
चुपके चुपके गाए (आह हां हां)
आधी आधी बाँट ले
आजा दिल की ये ज़मीन
थोड़ा सा तेरा सा होगा
थोड़ा मेरा भी होगा अपना यह आशियाँ
इत्ति सी हँसी (उपायी)
इत्ति सी खुशी (उपायी)
इत्ता सा टुकड़ा चाँद का (उपायी)

The lyrics of the song Aashiyan describe a beautiful place created out of small, simple things like a tiny piece of moonlight and dreamy thoughts. The singer asks us to discard the shackles of life and slowly walk towards this magical place that we ourselves create with fragments of our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. It speaks of creating a blissful world with just a little bit of happiness, laughter, and a touch of the moon. The song also emphasizes the idea of taking small steps towards this heaven on earth. The singer tells us to walk slowly, and even if we have to drag our feet, we'll ultimately reach the place we want to be.
The lyrics also talk about the beauty of freedom and living life on our own terms. The singer tells us that even if we don't have fancy mansions or walls, life is beautiful when we have open windows and cool breeze blowing in, green foliage, and chirping birds that create a sense of peace and tranquility. Even if life is full of obstacles and hardships, we need to keep going and let the little joys of life lead us to our own happy place.
Overall, the song Aashiyan is a beautiful ode to the human spirit of hope, dreaming, and ultimately creating a paradise of our own.

With the splinters of dreams

We will make a paradise
दबे दबे पाओं से
With quiet footsteps
आए हौले हौले ज़िंदगी
Life comes softly
होंठों पे उंगली चढ़ा के
Fingers on lips
हम ताले लगा के चल
Let's move forward with a lock on our lips
गुमसूँ तराने
Humming secretly
चुपके चुपके गाए
Singing quietly
आधी आधी बाँट ले
Divide it in half
आजा दिल की ये ज़मीं
Come to the land of the heart
थोड़ा सा तेरा सा होगा
It will be a little bit yours
थोड़ा मेरा भी होगा अपना ये आशियाँ
And a little bit mine, this paradise of ours
ना हो चार दीवारें
There should be no four walls
फिर भी झरोखे खुले
Yet let the windows be open
बादलों के होंठों पे
On the lips of clouds
शाखे हरी पंखा चले
Green branches sway with the ceiling fan
ना हो कोई तकरारें
There should be no arguments
अर्रे मस्ती ठहाके चले
Let joy and laughter prevail
प्यार के सिक्कों से
With the coins of love
महीने का खर्चा चले
We'll get by with the monthly expenses
प हा- पा र पा पा र पा प हा- पा र पा पा र पा
Pa-ha, Pa-ra, Pa-pa-ra, Pa

I was left with so much compassion for differently-abled people at the end of the movie... My heart was bursting with love for all the characters in the movie. Many of them are such special human beings; their laughter is pure, their hearts are beautiful. But mind you, they do not need our pity. They need our support and action to empower them. WIth the support of society, they can achieve things no one thought possible.

Mentally or physically disabled people need compassion from the people around, their conversations need to be heard, every one in that category do not mean to harm; in fact most of us are caring and very deep thinkers inside than normal people roaming around. But here I am speaking from my experience, there are people who suffer and resort to measures which they should not, then there are ones who just carry on and then there are ones who make this disability their strength, you will not find people better than them. It takes guts to rise daily and fear the same demon again and again and carry on like usual there is nothing wrong with u. Not for the fear, that somebody will notice u and give you names but knowing there is nothing u can do to demon but be a friend with it. Listen to it and just say once in a while, I am okay and I will carry on. For all the folks, when u lose hope for urself, carry it for people who need u, who have invested in you, carry it for your mom, carry it for ur dad, carry it for children whose future u can shape even ur being amorphous. With time, you will get your hopes back too. Strength to all the folks who are struggling but moving. Keep moving, I don't even feel there is nothing like surviving mental or physical disabilities.
