গানঃ তোমারে লেগেছে এতো যে ভালো
ছায়াছবিঃ রাজধানীর বুকে 
শিল্পীঃ তালাত মাহমুদ 
কথাঃ কে, জি, মোস্তফা
সুরঃ রবীন ঘোষ


গানের কথাঃ-
হুমহহহ...আহাহাহহহহ...
তোমারে লেগেছে 
এতো যে ভালো 
চাঁদ বুঝি তা জানে
রাতেরও বাসরে দোসর হয়ে 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে এএএএ 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে 

রাতেরও আকাশে তাঁরারও মিতালী
আমারে দিয়েছে সুরেরও গীতালি 
কত যে আশায় তোমারই নামে
জ্বালিয়ে আমি রেখেছি দীপালি  
আকুল ভ্রমরা বলে সে কথা 
বকুলেরও কানে কানে এএএএ
চাঁদ বুঝি তা জানে
তোমারে লেগেছে 
এতো যে ভালো 
চাঁদ বুঝি তা জানে
রাতেরও বাসরে দোসর হয়ে 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে এএএএ 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে 

এতো যে কাছে পেয়েছি তোমারে
এতো যে প্রীতি দিয়েছো আমারে
এতো যে পাওয়া কেমনে সহিবও 
একাকী আমি নিরবও আঁধারে  
আকুল পাপিয়া ছড়ায় সে কথা
বাতাসেরও কানে কানে এএএএ 
চাঁদ বুঝি তা জানে
তোমারে লেগেছে 
এতো যে ভালো 
চাঁদ বুঝি তা জানে
রাতেরও বাসরে দোসর হয়ে 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে এএএএ 
তাই সে আমার প্রাণে 
হুমহহহ...আহাহাহহহহ...
হুমহহহ...আহাহাহহহহ...

Talat Mahmood - Tomare Legeche Eto Je Bhalo

▶ Main Pee Ke Nahi Aaya (Talat Mahmood)

Heart it is, not a brick or stone
Why should not it feel the pain?
Let no one torment this heart,
Or I shall cry again and again.

Why should it not be full of pain,
merely a heart not a hard block of stone?
We shall cry ourselves a thousand times,
take jibes at us, why should anyone?

Not temple nor mosque, the Kaaba or a harem,
neither at a doorway nor a tomb or entrance.
We sit at common trodden pathways,
why remove us O unknown?

She, of the heart warming beauty,
resplendent as the noon sun.
Herself a vision to blast all others,
then why hide in a veil, all alone?

Piercing coquetry, bane of (my) life,
stinging endless arrows of pride.
Why would it come in front of you,
even if the image be your own?

Imprisoned by life or captive of grief,
both of them are one and the same.
Can man before death, in life itself
ever find all his sorrows gone?

Beauty and, with it, self estimation,
saved my lusty rival from indiscretions.
She had confidence on herself,
why then would she try this glutton?

There, she is arrogant and brimming with pride,
here a humble humility about ourselves.
Where do we meet on the streets,
why'd she invite us to meets of her own?

Yes I know she does not believe,
given she is unfaithful even.
Those who prize faith and fidelity,
to her lane, why'd they be shown?

Without the broken Ghalib, this world,
would surely not come to a stop.
Why cry so bitterly then,
why make such a pitiful moan? 

DIL HI TO HAI NA SANG-O-KHISHT  
by Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797 - 1869)
Performed by : Talat Mahmood & C H Atma

Dil Hi To Hai Na Sang-o-Khisht - Talat Mahmood & C H Atma

hothon se gulfishaan hain wo, ankhon se ashq-baar hum
saawan se wo hain bekhabar, begana-e-bahaar hum

Her lips smile like petals of flowers,
While my eyes shed tears of sorrow
She is oblivious of the downpour from my eyes,
While the spring of her smiles is distant for me

arsh ki ye bulandiyaan, farsh ki pastiyon se hai
un ka guroor dekh kar ban gaye khaksaar hum

The pompous loftiness of the sky
Is due to the humble lowliness of the ground
Seeing her haughty condescension,
I turned myself into modest, lowly dust

parwana jaa ke jab gira, shola to kaanp kaanp utha
us pe na kuchh asar hua, jispe hue nisaar hum

When the moth plunged into the lamp,
Even the flame trembled with unease
But the one at whose feet I surrendered myself
Remained unmoved and aloof

pee hai kisi ki bazm mein itni ki phir na uth sakey
hosh o hawaas kuchh nahin, kitne hain hoshiyar hum

In the company of a special one
I have drunk myself so senseless
That I am unable even to get up
See my alertness, my good judgment
That I have lost my sanity and discernment.
