Kal ho na ho...

This song is to me a perfect exanmple of how the story can be told in a song. I really like this song more so because of the way its been executed. If u observe, the first para is how the situation really is in the movie (Preity and Saif falling in love) and the second para is how the protagonist (Shah Rukh) wants it to be (with himself in Saif's shoes). He knows what he desires can happen but convinces himself that he should'nt reveal his undying love for Naina (Preity Zinta) - that shes better off with Saif Ali Khan. I love the part where he says ' ...par soch lo....' and 'us haath ko ....'. The second part is esp. for those who take the love they have for granted.

Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi
Chao hai kabhi, kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
har pal yaha jee bhar jiyo
jo hai sama kal ho na ho
har ghadi...

Chahe jo tumhe poore dil se
Milta hai woh mushkil se
Ayesa jo koi kahi hai
Bus wohi sab se hasi hai
Us haath ko tum thaam lo
Woh mehrbaan kal ho na ho
har ghadi...

Palko pe leke saye
Paas koi jo aaye
Laakh sambhalo pagal dil ko
Dil dhadke hi jaye
Par sochlo is pal hai jo
Woh daastaa kal ho na ho.
Har ghadi...
