Kya tumne hai keh diya

So this month sees a few greats celebrating their birthdays, one of them being Shabana Azmi- daughter of the very talented Shaukat Azmi and the poet with Communist leanings Kaifi Azmi. Basically a talent that was more into art films (a very Bollywood way of naming cinema that were seen only at film festivals and at the National Award ceremonies) but some one who couldn’t completely ignore the pulls from the commercial cinema (as Shashi Kapoor once said one genre kept his home fires burning and providing funds for the other genre). So we could see her winning awards for Paar, Arth Nishant etc and entertaining us in Parvarish, Fakira, Swarag Narag, Jwalamukhi etc, in my honest opinion she looked great in glamorous outfits as well as in Sarees.
So the song in discussion is from the 1997 movie “Saaz” where she plays the role of a playback singer. The movie was a Sai Paranjpe directed movie with Amit Khanna’s Plus Films producing it. She has Kavita Krishnamurthy giving her playback and the lyricist is Javed Aktar. But the icing on the cake is the music director himself who also played a small role in the movie—- Zakir Hussain.
Song-Kya tumne hai keh diya (Saaz)(1997) Singer-Kavita Krishnamurty, Lyrics-Jawed Akhtar, MD-Zakir Hussain
Lyrics
kya tumne hai keh diya,
kya maine hai sun liya
tum hee kaho
ab main kahoon kya
kya tumne hai keh diya
jab se main aur tum paas aaye,
raston mein hain phoolon ke saaye
ped jhoome hawa gungunaaye,
koyee poochhe agar yeh kya huwa
toh isko kahe koyee kya
kya tumne hai keh diya,
kya maine hai sun liya
tum hee kaho
ab main kahoon kya
neela saagar hai neelee ghataayen
ho meherbaan hum pe hain yeh fizaayen
vaadiya baahen khole bulaaye,
koyee poochhe agar yeh kya huwa
toh isko kahe koyee kya
kya tumne hai keh diya,
ho kya maine hai sun liya
tum hee kaho
ab main kahoon kya
tum hee kaho
ab main kahoon kya
