my latest favorite.. the song does so much justice to the lusty old heart which doesn't age - making us all feel guilty and miserable! i love the fact that this song has become a hit in mainstream bollywood - it's almost a validation of the emotion that not many people talk about (at least in the civilized world) and i love the "ji" that sort of buffers the ugly (or beautiful, depending on whether you are young or old) thoughts of the old man! Also notice that he has made his "dil" to be different from himself.. which is interesting.. what a way to take off the blame.. it was not me, it was my stupid old heart!
The song can be found here:

Aisi uljhi nazar unse hatthi nahi
Daant se reshmi dor katthi nahi
Umr kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi
Kaari badri jawani ki chhatt ti nahi
Wallah ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai
Chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai
Darr lagta hai tanha sone mein ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Kisko pata tha pehlu mein rakha
Dil aisa paaji bhi hoga
Hum to hamesha samajhte the koi
Hum jaisa haaji hi hoga
Hai zor kare, kitna shor kare
Bewajah baaton pe aienwei gaur kare
Dil sa koi kameena nahi
Koi to roke, koi to toke
Iss umr mein ab khaoge dhokhe
Darr lagta hai ishq karne mein ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji…
Aisi udaasi baithi hai dil pe
Hassne se ghabra rahe hain
Saari jawani katra ke kaati
Piri mein takra rahe hain
Dil dhadakta hai to aise lagta hai woh
Aa raha hai yahin dekhta hi na ho
Prem ki maare kataar re
Tauba ye lamhe katt te nahi kyun
Aankhon se meri hatt te nahi kyun
Darr lagta hai mujhse kehna na ji
Dil toh bachcha hai ji…
