Dekha Ek Khwab - Silsila

Dekha Ek Khwab - Silsila Lyrics & Chords

The song needs no introduction, one of the hit songs from Silsila originally sung by Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar. The lyrics are by Javed Akthar and music by santoor maestro Shivkumar Sharma and legendary Bansuri player Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (Shiv-Hari as they chose to abridge).

I want to thank Sheba for requesting me to sing this with her. Been a while since I attempted a Kishore Kumar song, so this was a great choice to do so.

The track is a bit slower than the original. Look forward to your feedback.

-Kumar.

Sheba sounded like a kid :) Good singing, both of you :) Kumar, everytime your ‘khwab’ sounded like ‘haab’…Thats the only thing I could nitpick :)

Kumar, Sheba – Well sung by both of you. Some diction issues though. Liked it
If rumours are to be believed, Kishore da did not give his 100%in this song as he had some issues with Big B. His natural throw was missing in this song, which you’ll find in all his playbacks for Amitabh.

Kumar & Sheba…….
What a pleasant experience to hear two seasoned singers of this great forum presenting a beautiful duet !
LOVED your voices & expressions !
Hats off !
Kumar….Even Rafisaab, Lataji, Suseelamma, Yesudasji, SPBji & many more acclaimed singers have had diction problems which have never been bothered about by millions of music lovers, since such minor issues used to get drowned in the awesome ocean of their versatile singing !
So it is my humble opinion that diction issues can be ignored as long as the basic meaning of lyrics is not affected !
Moreover, as noticed in many cases including that of my humble self, when you try to re-do a portion to rectify the diction issues in a later stage, the voice & feel/expressions would be a little bit different/lower than your original take/recording since we tend to concentrate more on the diction part !
So, your good self need not at all be worried about that !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
Thinkal Govind Kumar.

Kumar & Sheba – Fab pick!One of my top favs too of that time.

Kumar – you adapted your tone well for this song. Good singing too. Only nit picking is on the mood of the song that could have been a little lighter

Sheba – very sweet vocals.

Kumar, I wish Your voice gets more recognition around here, and, since we all know muziboo is not everything, in the real playback singing as well. Wonderful is not enough to speak about this. LataJi herself had struggled with that…. word many times, it is well known.
Sheeba, one of my favourit female voices around…. Guess U know it by now….? :)
Wonderful duet.

Lovely song nicely rendered by both of you…. Good expressive singing… Barring a few diction issues as mentioned above I liked the song in totality… And yes, I felt the harkat at the end of the first line in the antara (in both male and female) needs to be sung more quickly…You both were stretching it more than needed… Also you could hav added little more reverb in the mix for this song…

Overall liked it…

Very nice rendition. Kumar Bhai, you have an amazingly soothing voice. Sheba’s voice is very sweet. Some places her diction needs a little consideration, sounds a little nasal. Overall great job done!!
