Filmi Devotional songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Filmi devotional songs (or filmi bhajans) are devotional songs from Hindi movies, or Hindi songs composed to be sung using the melody in a popular filmi song. While most of these songs relate to Hinduism, often many of the devotional songs are general, and can prove acceptable to followers of other faiths as well.

Translation: Lord! I am dying for your glimpse, without your blessing I cannot achieve anything. I urge you to preserve my honor. I am a beggar standing at your door, when will you look at me? Listen to my heart in agony. Note that Hinduism is often a very visual faith. A glimpse of the image of the lord can represent spiritual fulfillment to one. Also note that the term "Hari" specifically means Lord Vishnu, in Sikh tradition, the term is used for the Nirguna God in general. Tu Pyar Ka Sagar Hai (film - Seema, 1955) This song is dedicated to Goddess Amba, as shown in the film.
