Madhuban mein raadhikaa naache re...

I now remember this entire song by heart. After taking up the challenge to choreograph the whole thing for the baby shower of our dear sister P, M and I literally went crazy for this song. We both adore it and enjoyed it thoroughly dancing on it. And while doing that, just realized and appreciated at each and every moment for the creators of the song to make this one possible. It is one amazing song! The next one that we want to chreograph is hopefully another Radha-Krishna song.

This one is so beautiful to listen to as well as watch. What awesome singing of Rafi sahab and then Dilip Kumar's lipsync with it and Naushad's music just make me go "waah waah!!" and who wouldn't when Radhika is dancing to Giridhar playing His flute. :)

Apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye...

This song is practically never on youtube. I have been searching for it since months, probably years... so today while searching for it yet again, when I found it, I got so excited and decided to share it.

The first time I had watched this was probably on rangoli or chitrahaar or may be it was on ATN and ever since then I fell in love with it. I have to admit, it was all because of the lyrics and ever so young Sanjeev Kumar and his smile. Today, listening to it again while watching, just makes me fall in love with it once again. Manna Dey's voice is beautiful and I adore the music. It is of Usha Khanna. I wish I knew the names of the other people in there. Until then... enjoy this gem.


khudgaraz duniya mein yeh insaan ki pehchaan hai
jo paraayi aag mein jal jaaye woh insaan hai

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

naakaamiyon se ghabra ke kyon apni aas khote ho (2)
main humsafar tumhaara hoon kyon tum udaas hote ho
hanste raho hasaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

apni khudi ko jo samjha usne khuda ko pehchaana (2)
aazaad fitrate insaan andaaz kyon bhulaa maana
sir yeh nahin jhukaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

baazaar se zamaane ke kuchh bhi naa hum kharidenge (2)
haan bech kar khushi apni logon ke gham kharidenge
bujhte diye jalaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

himmat buland hai apni patthar si jaan rakhte hai (2)
kadmon tale zameen to kya hum aasmaan rakhte hai
girte huo ko uthaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

chal aaftaab le kar chal chal maahtaab le kar chal (2)
tu apni ek thokar mein sau inqalaab le kar chal
zulm-o-sitam mitaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)

The actual song starts at 2:18 in the clip.

Ghoom Ke Aaya Hoon Main

Today, while listening to Johnny Walker songs I realized what a fun song this is, specially the lyrics. I really like the line "yeh sab hai shaagird mere jaani inka ustaad..." :)

In the second stanza, they are referring to someone Ambalewali. I'm guessing that's Zohrabai. Anyone knows whether that's who it is referring to?


M: (ghoom ke aaya hoon main bandhu roos cheen england
india waale maze udaa lo sun kar mera band
baaje waala patiyaale waala (2) ) (2)

mere band mein dhol bajaate the shri raaj kapoor
sach kehta hoon duniyaa waalon karta nahin guroor
baaje waala patiyaale waala (2)
ghoom ke aaya hoon main bandhu roos cheen england
india waale maze udaa lo sun kar mera band
baaje waala patiyaale waala (2)
F: aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa

aasha bhosle aur rafi ke tum sab ho deewaane
apla??? ambaale waali aayi band bajaane
M: baaje waala patiyaale waala (2)

ghoom ke aayi hoon main baabu roos cheen england
arre india waale maze udaa lo sun kar mera band
M: baaje waala patiyaale waala (2)
F: aaa haa haa aaa haa haa haa haa

burman shankar jaikishen o p nayyar naushaad

Yeh din kyaa aaye...

I had completely missed this song while watching the film. While listening to other songs I came across this one and really enjoyed listening to it and watching it. What a beautiful story it is. I loved the film for the fact that I got so annoyed with Asrani character's behavior and felt so sorry for Amol Palekar's character. And it was so satisfying to see the latter get even later on. Just goes to say how well they acted, on direction of Basu Chatterjee of course. :)

This one is sung by Mukesh and beautiful music is by none other than Salil Chaudhary. Lyrics are by Yogesh. First time I heard of this lyricist.


(yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne
dekho basanti basanti hone lage mere sapne) (2)
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne

(awesome music plays here!)

(sone jaisi ho rahi hai har subah meri
lage har saanjh ab gulaal se bhari) (2)
chalne lagi mehki hui pawan magan jhoom ke
aanchal teraa choom ke
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne
dekho basanti basanti hone lage mere sapne
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne

(wahaan mann baanwaraa aaj ud chalaa
jahaan par hai gagan salonaa saanwalaa) (2)
jaa ke wahin rakh de kahin man rango mein khol ke
sapne yeh anmol se
(yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne
dekho basanti basanti hone lage mere sapne) (2)
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne

(sone jaisi ho rahi hai har subah meri
lage har saanjh ab gulaal se bhari) (2)
chalne lagi mehki hui pawan magan jhoom ke
aanchal teraa choom ke
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne
dekho basanti basanti hone lage mere sapne
yeh din kyaa aaye lage phool hansne
