Amazing song

Amazing lyrics and beautiful music ! from the movie Gharaonda...
Credits to Gulzar for lyrics, kudos to Jaidev for simple melody.
Could not have sung better than the way Bhupinder and Runa laila have and finally
Amol palekar and Zarina wahab bringing it to life... a perfect team.

Note the contrast between the two renditions. There is sea difference !

aabodaanaa dhoondhate hai, yek aashiyaanaa dhoondhate hain

in bhoolabhoolaiyyaa galiyon mein apanaa bhee koee yek ghar hogaa
anbar pe khoolegee khidakee, yaa khidakee pe khulaa anbar hogaa
asamaanee rang kee aakhon me, basane kaa bahaanaa dhoondhate hain

jab taare jameen par jalate hain, aakaash jameen ho jaataa hain
us raat naheen fir ghar jaataa, wo chaand yahee so jaataa hain
palabhar ke liye in aakhon mein, hum yek jamaanaa dhoondhate hain

do diwaane shahar me, raat mein yaa dopahar mein

Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein Raat Mein Aur Dopahar Mein

Aabodaana Dhoondta Hai Aashiyana Dhoondta Hai

Din Khali Khali Bartan Hai Aur Raat Hai Jaise Andha Kuan
In Sooni Andheri Aankhon Se Aansoon Ki Jagah Aata Hain Dhuan
Jeene Ki Vajah To Koi Nahi Marne Ka Bahana Dhoondta Hai
Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein...

In Umar Se Lambi Sadkon Ko Manzil Pe Pohonchte Dekha Nahin
Bas Daudti Phirti Rahti Hain Humne To Theherte Dekha Nahin
Is Ajnabi Se Shahar Mein Jaana Pehechana Dhoondta Hai
Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein..
