While most people liked 'Rehna tu,' I actually liked the other song immensely. It is a truly unique track in the album, integrating Indian folk with a Celtic ambience, all in the scope of a love song that begins in a very Boyzone-ish fashion and contains an unrestrained strumming in the background.
Also, 'lovely' is the use of the word 'dafatan' ('suddenly,' also translated as 'often'), often found in non-filmy ghazals and hardly ever in popular film songs.
Movie: Delhi-6
Music: A.R Rehman
Singer: Ash King
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Dil gira kahin par dafatan
Dil gira kahin par dafatan
Jaane magar ye nayan
Teri khamosh zulfon ki gehraiyaan
Hai jahan dil mera uljha hua hai wahin kho gaya
Tu magar hai bekhabar hai bekhabar
Dil gira kahin par dafatan
Kyon goonj rahi hai dhadkan
Jaane magar ye nayan
Seepiyon ke honth se moti chhalak rahe hain
Ghazalon ki sohbat mein geet bhi behek rahe hain
Samundar lehron ki lehron ki chaadar odh ke so raha hai
Par main jaagu ek khumari ek nasha sa ek nasha sa ho raha hai
Tu magar hai bekhabar hai bekhabar
Dil gira kahin par dafatan
Kyon goonj rahi hai dhadkan
Jaane magar ye nayan
Khushbuon mein lipte mausam
Teri khamosh zulfon ki gehraiyaan
Hai jahan dil mera uljha hua hai wahin kho gaya
Tu magar hai bekhabar hai bekhabar
Dil gira kahin par dafatan

The interesting fact is that the R&B singer Ash King didn't know a word of Hindi, before he sang it!
My rating for this song: 4.75/5 :)
