This was one of the favourite Hindi songs some time ago – from the 2013 Hindi movie, Bullett Raja starring Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. Image source: Youtube.

This Hindi song was composed by Sajid–Wajid music director duo consisting of brothers Sajid Khan and Wajid Khan and sung by Wajid and Shreya Ghoshal. The duo won numerous awards for their music composition for Salman Khan’s 2010 Hindi movie “Dabangg”.
Financial Express’ review of the soundtrack states this:-
The romantic track Saamne hai savera comes in next, with Shreya Ghoshal, Wajid and Bonny Chakraborthy as vocalists.
Although the song has a hangover of Chori kiya re jiya and Saanson ne baandhi hain from the Dabangg franchise; it is Ghoshals voice that clearly stands out.
Another interesting element is the use of several instruments, including the violin, trumpets, drums, iktara and even the ghatam.
The blend of these elements and well penned lyrics by Kausir Munir makes it the best track of the album.
The picturisation of the music video is of a reluctant hero who loves the heroine but does not want to say it out in the open. He rather wants to keep the heroine safe and protected. The heroine, on the other hand, is willing to go the extra mile in her relationship with the hero despite knowing his background as gangster dealing with corrupt businessmen and politicians (yup, this not logic romance only happens in Bollywood).
The same is imposed in the sequences of the song where it is the heroine who starts first and entices the hard rock hero who tries hard to avoid her but in the end, succumbs to her beauty and her calls and starts responding to the heroine.
The making of this music video is interesting as it gives us insight into the message that the director wanted to convey in the music video. The fun part is where they shoot the music video in double the normal speed and then playback with the normal speed so that it is in a relaxed, romantic atmosphere.

The scene with the classical dance is a nice touch with the break towards the hero and a change of colour in the song sequence.
And now the final work of the music video:-
It is said that the lyrics of the song is rather captivating in the original Hindi language which I would certainly concur.

A lot of Tamil song lyrics which had captured our hearts and souls had become meaningless once it is translated into English. I guess it is the same here:-
Zara zara sar se sarakne laga mera aasmaan
A little by little my sky is slipping away from above my headDabe dabe paanv nikalne laga tera raasta
Your road too is slipping away secretlyTumko humara hai, humko tumhara vaasta
The relationships that we share togetherO leke ek dooje ko baahon mein banayein apna jahaan
For that, let us make our own world holding and clasping each other’s handsSaamne hai savera
Morning is in front of usthoda tera, thoda mera
We both have a share in it equallyHaan saamne hai savera aa aa aa
Yes, the morning is front of usZara zara sar se sarakne laga mera aasmaan
A little by little my sky is slipping away from above my headSeeya kaare seeya
O my belovedRaina hai na hui hai dhuaan
My nights have become smokyDhuaan dhuaan dhuaan o dhuaan
Smoky, smokyChuaa tune chuaa
You touched meKhill gaya mera har ruaan ruaan ruaan ruaan o ruaan
Every cell inside my body blossomedAaja dhup se daaman bhar lein
Come, let us fill our hem with the sunlightDil basaaye din nayaa chadhta huaa badhta huaa
Let’s settle our hearts in this new, rising and moving daySamne hai savera thoda tera thoda mera
The morning is front of us, it’s a little yours and a little mineHaule haule phir se dil mein naya armaan huaa
Slowly, once again my heart is building up new desiresLagta hai mujhko lagne lagi teri duaa
It seems I am benefited from your prayersTumko humara hai, humko tumhara vaasta
The relationships that we share togetherO leke ek dooje ko baahon mein
Holding and clasping each other’s handsBanayein apna jahaan
Let us make our own worldSaamne hai savera thoda tera thoda mera
The morning is front of us, it’s a little yours and a little mineHaan saamne hai savera
Yes, the morning is front of us(Source)
