Maana ho tum behad haseen

If I were to pick my top favorite songs of Yesudas, this one would surely be in top five. I like it so much. Listening to phir chhidi raat with D reminded me of this one for some reason along with tu jo mere sur mein. This one has gotten stuck in my head since.

What a beautiful offbeat sort of song... KJ Yesudas has sung is so beautifully. And that makes me realize I don't have any of my favorite KJY songs posted on here so got to share more of those. Until then, enjoy this number by KJY, Bappida and Kaifi Azmi. Shekhar Kapur looks completely different and Shabana her gorgeous self in this superhot outfit.


(maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin) (2)
dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin

khultaa? nahin kuchh dilrubaa
tum hum se khush ho yaa ho khafaa
tirchhi nazar teekhi adaa
lagte ho kyon bezaar se
dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin

tum do kadam do saath agar
aasaan ho jaaye safar
chhodo bhi yeh duniyaa ka dar
todo na dil inkaar se
(dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin) (2)

This song was very popular when I was in college. It is such a lovely song.

Ava said...

yes, the word there is Khulta..

Khulta nahi kuch dilruba..

Avdi, oh that's nice to know. I bet a lot of boys would be singing it to girls then ;)
The music is amazing, isn't it! I'm listening to it again now and absolutely love the drum/tabla beats.
Thanks for confirming the word khulta in lyrics.

The song of course is great, but just that my memories of it are tainted by .. believe it or not .. a Gujju guy from Modasa. He used to sing it sooo slowly. If you want your.memories to be.tainted too, try this.. give each.word.on.the.song.twice the time.

Kanan said...

Java, awww isn't that too bad. I also have some songs like that and the memory like you say is tainted. I can't possibly imagine or even try to sing this one so slow. It's funny, not in a very pleasant way. Sorry to hear it's a Gujju guy.

There's another category of songs where we have fond memories of the singers of some of the songs and those are fabulous. I wish I knew where one of those singers was right now.

maana ho tum behad haseen
Agree that you are extremely beautiful!

aise boore hum bhi nahin
I’m also not that bad

dekho kabhi to pyaar se
Do look at me with love sometime

darte ho kyon iqraar se
Why are you afraid of agreeing (that you too love)

maana ho tum behad haseen
Agree that you are extremely beautiful!

aise boore hum bhi nahin
I’m also not that bad

khultaa nahin kuchh dilrubaa
Some loves don’t open (to express themselves)

tum hum se khush ho yaa ho khafaa
Not sure if you are happy or upset with me

tirchhi nazar teekhi adaa
lagte ho kyon bezaar se
Ogle and sharp grace
Why do you look so unhappy


dekho kabhi to pyaar se
Do look at me with love sometime

darte ho kyon iqraar se
Why are you afraid of agreeing (that you too love)

maana ho tum behad haseen
Agree that you are extremely beautiful!

aise boore hum bhi nahin
I’m also not that bad

tum do kadam do saath agar
aasaan ho jaaye safar
Share two steps with me, if you can
The journey of life would be easy


chhodo bhi yeh duniyaa ka dar
todo na dil inkaar se
Now lose the fear of the world
Don’t break my heart with rejection


dekho kabhi to pyaar se
Do look at me with love sometime

darte ho kyon iqraar se
Why are you afraid of agreeing (that you too love)

maana ho tum behad haseen
Agree that you are extremely beautiful!

aise boore hum bhi nahin
I’m also not that bad
