Aadesh Shrivastava

Mumbai:           Bollywood singer-composer Aadesh Shrivastava, who was battling a relapsed cancer, passed away post midnight in Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital here. He was 51.
Shrivastava had been undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital in Andheri for over 40 days.
"Mr Aadesh Shrivastava (51) expired at 12.30 am on September 5, 2015 in Kokilaben Hospital due to cancer," Dr Ram Narain of the hospital told PTI.
Mr Shrivastava is survived by his wife, Vijeta Pandit, a former Bollywood actress and sister of music-composer duo Jatin- Lalit, and their two sons -- Anivesh and Avitesh.
Last evening Shrivastava's brother-in-law and composer Lalit Pandit had told PTI, "He has been undergoing chemotherapy but he is not responding to it. So, the doctors have stopped giving him chemotherapy. They have an alternate theory. The doctors are trying to do their best and Aadesh is fighting it bravely."
Mr Shrivastava, who battled cancer five years ago, was diagnosed with the same disease again. He was said to be in a critical condition when he was admitted to the hospital.
"Terrible. Terrible. Terrible News. Too young to Go Aadesh Shrivastava," film director Anubhav Sinha said on Twitter. Over the course of his career, Shrivastava had composed music for over 100 Hindi films, including "Chalte Chalte", "Baabul", "Baghban", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham", "Rajneeti" and others.
He got his first big break with film "Kanyadaan" in 1993. However, the film could not be released and its songs went unnoticed.
Mr Shrivastava delivered chart busters like "Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro", "Haathon mein aa gaya jo kal", "Sona sona", "Shava shava", "Gustakhiyaan", "Gur nalon ishq mitha", "Mora Piya" among others.
He was a judge on the talent hunt show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" Challenge in 2005 and 2009.
Mr Shrivastava took to direction with his short film on child prostitution, "Sanaa". His colleagues from the industry, including Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan, were keeping a check on his health.
"Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan) has been keeping a check on his health regularly over phone. He has been very helpful. Besides, Shah Rukh Khan had come to visit him too. Tina Ambani has visited him twice and she is also taking special care," Lalit had said.
"People from the music industry like Shaan, Sonu Nigam, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan also have been visiting him regularly. Shekar Kapur, Govind Nihalani, Poonam Dhillon and others had come to see him too," he had said.

Piya (x2)
My beloved

Mora piya (x3)
My beloved
Piya mora
My beloved

Mora piya maanat nahin
My beloved doesn't agree
Mora piya (x2)
My beloved

Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me

Nothing without you
Just look at me
Please say something

Dwaar jiya ke
The doors of the heart
Why don't you speak to me
You are all I need
Dwaar jiye ke kholat naahin
He doesn't open the doors of his heart
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me

Darpan dekhun roop nihaarun (x2)
I look at myself in the mirror and enhance my guise
Aur solah shringaar karun
And I put on the 16 adornments
(Solah Shringaar is a term to denote the beautification of a woman in India,
done mostly during a wedding or a special occasion. It encompasses sixteen
basic steps of beautification of a woman from head to toe)

Pher najariya baitha bairi
The cruel one is sitting with his gaze in the other direction
Kaise ankhiyan chaar karoon
How should I meet his eyes
Koi jatan ab
All attempts now
Koi jatan ab kaam na aave
All attempts now seem futile
Uss kachhu sohat naahin
Nothing suits him

Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me

Hamri ik muskaan pe woh toh
For a small smile on my face
Haan hamri ik muskaan pe woh toh
Yes, for a small smile on my face
Apni jaan lutaata tha
He used to sacrifice his life
Jag bisra ke aathon pehariya
All throughout the 8 parts of the day
(In Hindu Mythology, the day is divided into 8 parts, each of 3 hour duration)
More hi gun gaata tha
He used to sing only my praises

Bhaa gayi ka
Did he fall in love
Bhaa gayi ka koyi sautan oh ke
Did he fall in love with some other girl
Mora kuchh bhaawat naahin
As he doesn't like anything in me anymore

Mora piya mo se bolat naahin
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Say something
Why don't you speak to me
Look at me
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin
My beloved doesn't speak to me

Dwaar jiya ke
The doors of the heart
Just speak to me please
Dwaar jiye ke kholat naahin
He doesn't open the doors of his heart
Don't you know I just can't
Live without you

Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x5)
My beloved doesn't speak to me
