Song Review--Pee loon

Mohit and Pritam have worked wonders whenever they have come together , be it 'Tum Se Hi'(JAB WE MET) or (LOVE AAJ KAL) and they once again manage to stir quite a few hearts with 'Pee Loon'. The very first strings of the guitar and the enchanting 'alaap' that commences this hauntingly beautiful love ditty is enough to convey that we have chanced upon another chartbuster from Pritam. The song is not a mere ode to love through some lovely simple melody but the main USP of the song is the absolutely mesmerizing sufi 'qawwali' that forms the chorus and is the mainstay, a jewel in the crown, the icing on the cake! The beautiful use of traditional instruments in the 'qawwali' like harmonium, 'tabla', sitar is scintillating. The last time that we had heard something as beautiful as this was in Rahman's 'Kehna Hi Kya'(BOMBAY) and lately it was 'Sajda'(MY NAME IS KHAN). Pritam's all time favourite lyricist Irshad Kamil handles the lyrical department and this is one of those rare songs where the lyrics of the 'mukhda' are simple 'tukbandi'(rhyming) while it's the 'antara' where Irshad's poetic brilliance comes to the fore.
