Lyrics: Gulzar
Movie: 7 Khoon Maaf
While Veer-Zaara’s “Tere Liye” has long held a special place in our hearts, thanks to Lata Mangeshkar’s and Roop Kumar Rathod’s enchanting vocals and Javed Akhtar’s deeply romantic lyrics, there’s another “Tere Liye” in Bollywood that deserves more recognition. I’m talking about the song from 7 Khoon Maaf.
Written by the legendary Gulzar, this track embodies the purest form of love. Gulzar’s poetic prowess continues to amaze, seamlessly blending modern and classic charm in his Bollywood lyrics.
In an age where love is often measured by materialistic gestures, Gulzar offers a refreshing perspective with lines like, “Aankhon mein na chubhe taaro ki kirchiyaan, sheeshe ka aasmaan laaye hain tere liye… tere liye taare jadhe, heero se bhi kitne badhe… ham ne aasmaano mein laakho ke saude kiye… tere liye.. tere liye.”
This heartfelt verse shows how to elevate love without spending a dime. The full song, featuring Suresh Wadkar’s tender vocals and Vishal Bharadwaj’s evocative composition, beautifully captures the essence of being enveloped in love. Watch the video to see the captivating chemistry between Irrfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra, and enjoy a special touch of poetry recited by Irrfan himself.
