Yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan...

I adore the accordian playing in this one. If you think the picturization could have been better, you're not the only one, but I'm a sucker for the good music, good singers and awesome poetry any day so don't mind sitting through watching such cold acting of these actors.


M: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
F: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

M: zaraa si zulf khol do fizaa mein itra ghol do (2)
nazar jo baat keh chuki woh baat munh se bol do
ki jhoom uthe nigaah mein bahaar kaa samaa
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

(lovely music plays here)

F: yeh chup bhi ek sawaal hai ajeeb dil kaa haal hai (2)
har ek khayaal kho gayaa bas ab yehi khayaal hai
ki faaslaa na kuchh rahe hamaare darmiyaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

M: yeh roop rang yeh paban chamakte chaand saa badan (2)
buraa na maano tum agar to choom loon kiran kiran
ki aaj hausalon mein hai balaa ki garmiyaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
hm hm hm hm hm...

Maine use dekhaa hai...

I just found out that I am going to have a brand new bhabhi and I can't stop smiling... :D Congrats to dearest Dbhai & Jbhabhi-to-be! This song is for the two of you. May God bless you two with all the happiness there is. Love you both.

Many thanks to Seema at OnAirDilSe for playing this beautiful song today. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sounds so unique and marvelous... music reminds me of some old song, but I can't figure out which one.


phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai (4)
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (2)
maine use dekhaa hai

phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

baadalon se guzarte hue chaand ne chupke karte hue
us ke taaron se pehloo mein pichhale paher aankh malte hue
roshani ki taraf neemva khidkiyon se nikalte hue
baagon mein shehron ki galiyon mein
maine use dekhaa hai
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (2)
maine use dekhaa hai
phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

(this music sounds so familiar)

jab hawaa rukh badal ne yeh haal? mein ladkhadaane lage
dil ki kaliyon ke kaanon mein bhanwaraa koi geet gaane lage
aur jab khud bakhud dil mein ek aarzoo muskuraane lage
aise hi lamhon ki baahon mein
maine use dekhaa hai
(phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai) (4)
maine use dekhaa hai
phoolon mein rangon mein khwaabon mein
maine use dekhaa hai

Audio song:

Thehriye hosh mein aa loon...

I don't know the definition of romance but I'd say it'd be something that this one describes, or makes one feel. The music gives me goosebumps. What is the instrument that plays tick-tocking sound in between the stanzas.. I wonder It sounds like how those little pieces of flat stones/tiles that the boys selling water on trains would use to make noise or the beggers who used them to play music while they sang on trains.

She walking home with sabzi in basket... and him hopping around and being playful chasing her. Notice how he touches her shoulder while singing "door ki chaahat" and then later her nose after "apni taqdeer banaa loon" and she smiling away with shyness with her long tresses covering her face... waah!

OMG! What sweet voice Suman Kalyanpur has. And Rafi sahab's voice so full of mischief and so unique to match Shashi Kapoor's voice. All of these things with the lyrics make it one of my favorite romantic melodies.

And this also adds one more entry to the boat songs collection! :)


M: thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

M: kab talak rahiyegaa yoon door ki chaahat ban ke (2)
dil mein aa jaaiye iqraar-e-mohabbat ban ke
apni taqdeer banaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

F: mujhko iqraar-e-mohabbat se hayaa aati hai (2)
baat kehte hue gardan meri jhuk jaati hai
dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: uh huh
F: dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: haaye... aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

aisi kya sharm zaraa paas to aane bhi de (2)
rukh se bikhari hui zulfen to hataane bhi de
pyaas aankhon ki bhuja loon to chale jaaiyegaa
thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
hm hm hm... la la la...
Both: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

Video song:

Chalo dildaar chalo...

Paayal ki chham chham, clap sounds and the haunting echo in their aalaap after second stanza, that's what I love about this one. And visually, absolutely love the waterfalls, floating boat in the moonlight, the moon playing hide and seek with clouds... and the way he holds her. :)

What marvelous lyrics.. and ever since I listened to this one on morning masti (Thursdays and Fridays they've been playing some of the greatest hits, golden oldies, of HFM) this morning and then on a repeat mode later in the evening, I have a hard time picking a favorite from this film: mausam hai aashiqaana or this one?


M: (chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo) (2)

aao kho jaaye sitaaron mein kahin (2)
chhod de aaj yeh duniya yeh zameen
duniya yeh zameen
M: chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo

hum nashe mein hai sambhaalo hume tum (2)
neend aati hai jagaa lo hume tum
jagaa lo hume tum
M: chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo

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

zindagi khatm bhi ho jaaye agar (2)
na kabhi khatm ho ulfat ka safar
ulfat ka safar
M: (chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo) (3)

Phir Teri Kahaani Yaad Aayi

Some numbers just stay in your mind and heart forever like this one. This is also one of those songs that I hum quite a lot like nain so nain. I don't know what it is about this song and its music that does the trick but I haven't heard such a beautiful song in a long while. Hope you enjoy it too. Lataji's voice is full of magic and Naushad's music totally goosebumpy.


phir teri kahaani yaad aayi
phir tera fasaana yaad aaya
phir aaj hamaari aankhon ko (2)
ek khwaab puraana yaad aaya
phir teri kahaani yaad aayi

jalte hai chiraagon ki soorat
har shaam teri hum yaadon mein
jab subah ko shabnam roti hai
kho jaate hai hum fariyaadon mein (2)
jab dil ne koyi aawaaz suni (2)
tera hi taraana yaad aaya
phir teri kahaani yaad aayi

shaayad kabhi milna ho jaaye
baithe hai isi armaan mein hum
toone to kinaara paa hi liye
uljhe hai magar toofaan mein hum
aye jaan-e-wafaa phir aaj hume (2)
pichhalaa woh zamaana yaad aaya

phir teri kahaani yaad aayi
phir tera fasaana yaad aaya...

Har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe...

Growing up next to Sben in Vallabh Vidyanagar was the best because I got to listen to a ton of Lata Mangeshkar solos on radio and tape player non-stop. She being a huge fan of the haunting melodies of LM, I got to hear this one along with many other favorites...


(har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe) (2)
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe

yeh andhere mujhe ho ho ho ho ho
yeh andhere mujhe is liye hai pasand
in mein saaya bhi apna dikhaayi na de (2)
roshni ho wahaan (3) tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe

chaand dhoondhla sahi ho ho ho ho ho
chaand dhoondhla sahi gham nahin hai mujhe
teri raaton pe raaton ka saaya na ho (2)
chaandni ho wahaan (3) tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
