Like majority of the population, I have always believed that music and lyrics complete each other. No matter how soulful music is if lyrics are not good, a song can never make a lasting impression and vice versa. For all those who have grown up on Gulzar's lyrics or have loved Javed Akhtar's style of writing, the kind of songs that we have seen or listened to in recent years are clearly a major put off. To be honest senseless songs like 'Tera Pyaar Hukka bar' or 'Tumse Milne Ka Keeda Andar Hai' kill the music lover that everyone has inside us but believe me these are still better, there are worse. Yes worse! These are songs people have danced to on various occasions without giving much thoughts to the lyrics but when you pay attention to the words these songs will definitely make every woman cringe, if not angry. These are peppy and catchy numbers and are hit mainly because of its music. The song writer could have very well used some other (decent may be) words and the song still would have been a hit. I fail to understand, why and how such lyrics were used.
Here are few songs (if we may call them that) with culprits (read lyricist) that will make song writers like Sahir Ludhianvi roll in their graves and for writers like Gulzar and Javed Akhtar it is a punishment in itself to be a witness to such songs.
