Mere Naina Saawan Bhaadon...

Papu and I were listening to the 70s songs together and first one that we listened to together was this one. What a haunting melody! I love both versions but I'm more partial towards Kishore Kumar's version. I don't know what it is about that version, it's like magnet. This one is based on raag shivranjani.


M: hmm hmm aha ha ha

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

aye dil deevaane khel hai kyaa jaane
dard bharaa yeh geet kahaan se
in honthon pe aaye door kahin le jaaye
bhool gayaa kyaa bhool ke bhi hai
mujhko yaad zaraa saa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

baat puraani hai ek kahaani hai
ab sochu tumhe yaad nahin hai
ab sochu nahin bhoole
woh saawan ke jhoole
rutu aaye rut jaaye de kar
jhoothaa ek dilaasaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

barso beet gaye hum ko mile bichhade
bijuri ban kar gagan pe chamki
beete samay ki rekhaa
maine tum ko dekhaa
man sang aankh-micholi khele
aashaa aur niraashaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (3)


F:
ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho ho...

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho ho...

baat puraani hai ek kahaani hai
ho baat puraani hai
ab sochu tumhe yaad nahin hai
ab sochu nahin bhoole
woh saawan ke jhoole
rutu aaye rut jaaye de ke
jhoothaa ek dilaasaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho...

barso beet gaye hum ko mile bichhade
bijuri ban kar gagan pe chamki
beete samay ki rekhaa
maine tum ko dekhaa
tadap tadap ke is birhan ko
aaya chain zaraa sa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

ghoonghroo ki chham chham
ban gayi dil kaa gham
doob gayaa dil yaadon mein
ubhari berang lakeeren
dekho yeh tasveeren
soone mehel mein naach rahi hai
ab tak ek rakkaasaa phir bhi
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

Tum Mujhe Bhool Bhi Jaao....

Discovered this beauty while I was listening to some other song on youtube. Shubha Khote and Sunil Dutt make such a cute couple. Absolutely love the lyrics of the song along with fantastic music. Got to listen to Sudha Malhotra's work for the first time, I think. She's got quite a lovely voice. Will have to listen to more of her songs now.


F: tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

mere dil ki mere jazbaat ki keemat kyaa hai
uljhe uljhe se khayaalaat ki keemat kyaa hai
maine kyon pyaar kiyaa tumne na kyon pyaar kiya
in pareshaan sawaalaat ki keemat kyaa hai
tum jo yeh bhi na .... to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

M: zindagi sirf mohabbat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
zulf rukhsaar ki jannat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
bhookh aur pyaas ki maari hui is duniya mein
ishq hi ek haqeeqat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
tum agar aankh churaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
main tum se hi nahin sab se mohabbat kee hai
tum agar aankh churaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

F: tum ko duniya ke gham-o-dard se fursat na sahi
sab se ulfat sahi mujhse hi mohabbat na sahi
main tumhaari hoon yehi mere liya kya kam hai
tum mere ho ke raho yeh meri kismat na sahi
aur bhi dil ko jalaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

Dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka...

The goodness of 70s is going to prevail around here for a while. We've got the 70s week coming up!

I had only overheard this song until today... and when I listened to it, I realized what a wonderful song it was. Too bad they only have single stanza for Kishore Kumar's version, but it's delicious nevertheless! Both songs are beautiful... but one gives a philosophical romantic mood while the other playful romantic.

Leena C. looks gorgeous in a white maxi dress (how did they go out of style again?) in the female version of the song and Sharmila sensual in the male version of this rainy song. I wonder which one comes first in the story. In the male version, we also get a glimpse of a very handsome Ashok Kumar. It must feel so different to have close family members work with you... I was thinking that about Kishore Kumar singing, Leena Chandavarkar acting in the film along with Ashok Kumar...

Thanks to such marvelous singers, lovely work of music director and God knows how many more musicians along with the lyricist we get to enjoy double the goodness of this creation!


(dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa) (2)

saanson ki aanch paa ke bhadakta rahegaa yeh (2)
seene mein dil ke saath dhadakta rahegaa yeh
dhadakta rahegaa yeh
woh naqsh kyaa huaa jo mitaaye se mit gayaa
woh dard kyaa huaa jo dabaaye se dab gayaa
dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa

yeh zindagi bhi kyaa hai amaanat unhi ki hai (2)
yeh shaayari bhi kyaa hai inaayat unhi ki hai
inaayat unhi ki hai
ab woh karam kare ke sitam unkaa faislaa
hum ne to dil mein pyaar kaa sholaa jalaa liyaa
dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa

shambhu charaNe paDi, maangu ghaDi re ghaDi (Gujarati)

Yesterday, while listening to gham diye mushtaqil..., I kept on coming back to this one. That's when I realized that both songs are based on same raag Asaawari and that's what was leading me to this one again and again.

Since last week I've been looking for something related to Shivji since it was Maha Shiv Ratri and finally I found it! :)

This bhajan gives me goosebumps.

Jai Bhole Nath!

Gham Diye Mustakil Kitna Naazuk Hai Dil

Got to listen to a clip of this song while watching DDLJ and I just couldn't stop listening to it. And it took less than few moments to find it on youtube and listen to it. :) It truly is blessing.

What a beautiful song! K. L. Saigal has such a sweet voice. It sucks he left us so early.

It's funny, in the evening I was listening to "dil hai pyaare zaraa dekh to le" from Guddu (1995) and that also has Naushad's music and this one from 1946 has got the same music director. It's amazing!


gham diye mushtaqil
kitna naazuk hai dil, yeh na jaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

de uthe daag lau
unse aye maah-e-nau, keh sunaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

(dil ke haathon se daaman chhuda kar
gham ki nazron se nazren bachaa kar) (2)

uth ke woh chal diye
kehte hi reh gaye, hum fasaana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

(koyi meri yeh rudaad dekhe
yeh mohabbat ki bedaad dekhe) (2)

phoonk rahaa hai jigar
pad rahaa hai magar, muskuraana
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

gham diye mushtaqil
kitna naazuk hai dil, yeh na jaanaa
haaye haaye yeh zaalim zamaana

Hey Shaarade Maa...

This used to be one of my favorite prayers back in school. Back then, I didn't understand quite a few words of it but they do make sense now. One of the most beautiful prayers I've ever listened to.

Prayers to Goddess Saraswati for her blessings.



hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa

hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa

(tu swar ki devi yeh sangeet tujhse
har shabd tera hai har geet tujhse) (2)
hum hai akele hum hai adhoore
vidhya ka hum ko adhikaar de maa
hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa

(tu shvet varni kamal pe biraaje
haathon mein veena mukut sar pe saaje) (2)
man se mitaake hamaare andhere
hum ko ujaalo ka sansaar de maa
hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa

(muniyon ne samjhi guNiyon ne jaani
vedo ki bhaashaa puraaNo ki vaani) (2)
hum bhi to samjhe hum bhi to jaane
vidhyaa ka hum ko vardaan de maa
hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa

hey shaarade maa (2)
agyaanta se hume taar de maa
hume taar de maa (2)

Raaz-e-dil unse chhupaaya na gayaa..

I always thought this one was the same as haal-e-dil yoon unhe sunaaya gayaa, but how wrong I was. One completely sad and the other completely playful... you got to listen to them to realize the difference. Of course, I love both the songs dearly so can't say one is better than the other or for that matter, even compare it. I wouldn't be doing justice to both then.

In any case, I'm so happy for youtube has come into existence! Long live youtube devta!!!


raaz-e-dil unse chhupaaya na gayaa (2)
pyaar ki aag kuchh aisi bhadki (2)
ek shola bhi dabaaya na gaya (2)
raaz-e-dil unse chhupaaya na gayaa

pehle pehle to mujhe
woh samajh bhi na sake
dil ko tadpaate rahe
mujhko tarsaate rahe
aankh se aankh kayi baar mili (2)
dil se dil phir bhi milaaya na gayaa
pyaar ki aag kuchh aisi bhadki (2)
ek shola bhi dabaaya na gaya
raaz-e-dil unse chhupaaya na gayaa

aankh milte hi jhuki
baat hothon pe ruki
berukhi pyaar bani
jeet bhi haar bani
kar gayi kaam mohabbat ki nazar (2)
unse daaman bhi bachaaya na gayaa
pyaar ki aag kuchh aisi bhadki (2)
ek shola bhi dabaaya na gaya
raaz-e-dil unse chhupaaya na gayaa

Mere liye to bas wohi... tum saamne baithi raho...

Finally, got to listen to this out-of-this-world melody today. I had only read about it earlier. It used to be one of the personal favorite songs of Begam Bilkis Banu - Mrs. Mohd. Rafi. And what a beautiful song it is!! Tabla is the jaan of it and the other musical instruments just compliment Rafi sahab's honey sweet voice. It's such a divine voice!

Now if only I get to listen to "tum aao room-jhoom karti" as well....


mere liye to bas wohi
pal hai haseen bahaar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

main jaantaa hoon pyaar ki
pooja yahaan apraadh hai
apraadh yeh har pal karoon
mann mein yehi ek saad hai (2)
mujhko mili hai yeh khushi
jeevan ki baazi haar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

seekhaa nahin maine kabhi
saiyam se mann ko baandhnaa
hai saadhnaa meri tumhaare
roop ki aaraadhnaa (2)
tum saath do to tod doon
saare niyam sansaar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

Jaa Re... Jaa Re Ud Jaa Re Panchhi

You think Salil Chaudhary and all these golden melodies start playing inside the head. This is one of those songs of him that I adore so much, mostly because of music. It never gets old. The lyrics are also very beautiful. Picturized on a young and beautiful Mala Sinha.


(jaa re...
jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki) (2)
jaa re...

(na daali rahi naa kali
ajab gham ki aandhi chali
udi dukh ki dhool raahon mein) (2)
jaa re...
yeh gali hai birhan ki
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...

(main veena uthaa naa saki
tere snag gaa naa saki
dhale mere geet aahon mein) (2)
jaa re...
yeh gali hai asuan ki
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...

jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...
