tu husn hai main ishq hoon

i remember this definite period in third sem, when i was smitten and i mean smitten by hamraaz songs. its like you have heard something all your life and then out of the blue you listen to it again and you go, wow that was amazing. and then you sit and wonder how come you never noticed that before. that is a lot like what happened to me with hamraaz songs, particularly the
tu husn hai main ishq hoon tu mujh me hai main tujhme hoon,
main isse zyada kya kahoon tu mujh me hai main tujhme hoon

and specifically by these lines, the way they are sung, written , all of it
kahaan saleeeeeeeeem ka rutba, kahan aanrkali
ye aisi shaakh-e-tammana hai jo kabhi na phali
na bujh sakegi bujhane se ahel-e-duniya ke
vo shamma jo teri aankhon se mere dil me jali
:D

and then this one part
huzoor ek na ek din to ye baat aayegi
ke takht -o-taaj bhalen hain, ki ik kaneez bhali?

and then the response, which only the very young, the very naive, or the die hard romantics can find romantic
main takht-o-taaj ko thukra kar, tujhko le loonga,
ke takht-o-taaj se teri gali ki khaak bhali...

right! if you insist.
