If anyone wanna know abt the time signature....then its here..

Timing of rythms can be represented by two numbers x/y which can be enunciated like this: The upper number (x) represents the number of strokes on any string and the lower number y tells what is the time interval between consecutive strokes.....
e.g. 4/4 timing means 1 stroke in played in 1 second....in total 4 strokes in 4 seconds.....
similarlly.. 2/4 timing menas 2 strokes played in 1 second...
3/4 timing menas 3 strokes played in 1 second...

just try counting according to the sec needle of ur watch & u can track it easily how it works....
sec...... 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
stroke...A D A A D A A D A A D A

hope it will help u....

A song can be divided into parts for better understanding.
Here you need to know that all the parts mentioned below might not be applicable to all songs.

For instance a lot of songs first start with an ALAAP or ADLIB, which means the very beginning of a song which need not be in any fixed time signature, it depends on how the singer wishes to stretch it.
Papa Kehte Hain does not have an adlib as such (except the speech he gives up front) Typical simple adlibs are like the La Lala lala la laaaa in Mere Angne Mein sung by amitabh. Example of an adlib is the way Kishore Kumar stars Neele Neele Amber in a slow manner.

Then there is the Overture or the Intro music piece, Example of an overture is the start on guitar and drums of Aaja Aaja or Churaliya or Chand Mera Dil.

The MUKHDA or the SIGN means the first section of the song by which the song is identified. In our case the lines Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam Karega, Beta Hamara Aisa Kaam Karega is the Sign.

The CROSS (I dunno what this is called in Hindi) is generally part of the Mukhda/Sign but variates from the tune, and generally its a part that can reappear in the song as a separate part without being part of the mukhda. In our case the lines Magar Yeh To, Koi Na Jaane, Ke Meri Manzil Hain Kahan is the CROSS.

Then there is the INTERLUDE (again I dunno what you call this in hindi but we musicians refer to it as M1 and M2 and M3 in the sequence it appears in the song). The interludes are pieces of music that appear in between the paragraphs of vocal lines.

The STANZA or ANTRA are the paragraphs that follow the Mukhda after an interlude. In our case the lines are Baitthe Hai Milke, Sab Yaar Apne, Sabke Dilon Mein, Arman Yeh Hai.........till the sign tune reappears.

Then there is the UNDERTURE or Exit music if at all

I guess that explains it?
