Main Teri Nazar Ka Suroor Hoon

Today, reading a Talat Mahmood song on Nova's blog, I realized I haven't listened to his songs in a great while. I was reminded of some of my favorite Talat songs. Here's one of those that comes to mind right now.

To actually feel the feelings conveyed in this song, one would have to watch this movie but then again when I think about it, the lyrics of Rajendar Krishan do tell it all and with the silken voice of Talat Mahmood, one can do nothing more than feel the pain of separation between two lovers. Madan Mohan here has an ability to moisten your eyes with tears by his music.


main teri nazar ka suroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
tere paas rehke bhi door hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon

(mujhe aankh se to giraa diyaa
kaho dil se bhi kyaa bhulaa diyaa) (2)
teri aashiqi ka guroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon

(teri zulf hai mera haath hai
ke tu aaj bhi mere saath hai) (2)
tere dil mein main bhi zaroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon


मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
तेरे पास रेहके भी दूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ

(मुझे आंख से तो गीरा दीया
कहो दील से भी क्या भुला दीया) (२)
तेरी आशीकी का गुरूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ

(तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ है मेरा हाथ है
के तू आज भी मेरे साथ है) (२)
तेरे दील में मैं भी ज़रूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ
