Heart baring lyrics

Bollywood has always managed to come up with heart rending, soul touching, and mind reading lyrics..

There is a song for every mood that you can think of..

Examples I can think of

1. lullaby sung to a child by a happy mom - Chanda hai tu, suraj hai tu from Aradhana

2. lullaby sung to a child by a sad mom - So jaa, chupp ho jaa from Sansar

3. Song sung by friends in honour of their friendship - Ye dosti from Sholay

4. Song sung by lovers in honour of each other - countless songs from countless movies

5. Seductive song - Bahon mein chale aao from Anamika

6. Cabaret song - Mehbooba Mehbooba from Sholay and all of Helen's songs among others

7. 'Item" song - Om shanti Om from the same movie and ofcourse all the other songs done by wannabes and has-beens.

8. Patriotic songs - Kar chale hum fida from Haqeeqat and so many other songs filmed on Manoj Kumar.

9. Struggle song - Hanste hanste from Khoon bhari maang

10. Inspiring song - Mitwa from Lagaan

11. Happy song - Hum hain raahi pyaar ke from the same movie

12. Sad song - Koi hota jisko apna from Mere Apne

13. Song of Betrayal - Tadap Tadap from Hum dil de chuke sanam

14. Sports' related song - Chak de from Chak de India

15. Festival related song - Innumerable songs for Holi, Diwali, most notably Rang Barse from Silsila

16. Love songs - Gum hai kisike pyaar me from Rampur ka Lakshman

I can't think of anymore categories....can anyone add to this?

At the moment, the song Aaina Mujhse meri from Daddy best reflects my emotions..go listen to it..

The lyrics are:

Aaina Mujhse meri Pehli si surat maangi
Mere Apne mere hone ki nishani maangi...aaina mujhse meri...

Main bhatakta hi raha dard ke veerane mein
waqt likhta raha chehre pe har pal ka hisaab
Meri shaurat meri deewangi ki nazar hui
Pi gayi may ki botal mere geeto ki kitaab
Aaj lauta hoon to hansne ki ada bhool gaya
Ye sheher bhula mujhe main bhi isse bhul gaya

Mere apne mere hone ki nishani maangi....aaina mujhse meri..
Mera fan phir mujhe bazaar mein le aaya hai
yeh vo jagah hai ke jahan mero vafa bikte hai
Baap bikte hai aur lakhte jigar bikte hain
Kokh bikti hai, dil bikte hai, sar bikte hai

Is badalti hui duniya ka khua koi nahi
saste daamo pe yahan roz khuda bikte hai
Har kharidaar ko bazaar mein bikta paaya
Hum kya paayenge kisi ne yahaan kya paaya
Mere ehsaas mere geet kahi aur chale
Phool Puja, meri bacchi kahi aur chali....Aur chali

I think thats roughly it...
