Do Do Do

When in Rome do as Romans do,
When in doubt think a thought or two,
When in pain say something true,
When in love what do you do?
Din mein bhi chamke jugnu
Aankhon se tapke khusbhoo
Sapna hai ya jaadoo
Jaanu main na jaane tu...

Mann sona sona hua
Kya jaadoo tona hua
Lo ho gaya hai humein
Woh pahle jo na hua
Chalti hai hawa chhu chhu
Yeh poochhe hai kaise tu
Mere sang chalta hai
Koi mujhsa hub-a-hu...

Chhanv kosi kosi lage
Dhoop paali posi lage
Chaand baaten waaten kare
Raat soti soti jage
Kya hai yehjustju
Kyun hai yeh guftgu
Kya hai jo chhup chhupke
Ho raha hai rub-a-ru *

The above lyrics are nothing great, often resorting to 'tukbandi' and an obvious attempt to ape Gulzar-style imagery; but somehow the situation, picturisation, tune, and words have meshed into a complete whole to make the song entertaining love song. From the sad 2005 film music, this is definitely a better number. I like the 'Do do do' refrain also at the mukhda end. The 'red' font part indicates female, and 'blue' denotes the male voice.
