Yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan...

Flute in the beginning when the plane flies makes every single hair on my body stand up with excitement and happiness that can not be described! I haven't been able to pick and choose my most favorite song from Veer Zaara and that's because most of them are my favorite ones. This one being one of them. It's so utterly beautiful in music, lyrics, and everything else including picturization.


M: lehraati hui raahen khole hue hai baahen
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: palkon pe gehre halke hai reshmi dhundhalke
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: woh dekho zara parbaton pe ghataayen
hamaari daastaan haule se sunaaye
F: suno to zara yeh phoolon ki waadi
hamaari hi koyi kahaani hai sunaati
M: sapnon ke is nagar mein
yaadon ki rehguzar mein
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

F: jo raahon mein hai rut ne sona bikhera
sunehra hua tera mera savera
M: zameen so gayi barf ki chaadaron mein
bas aag si jalti hai do dilon mein
F: hawaayen sarsaraaye badan kaamp jaaye
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: yeh barsaat bhi kab thame kaun jaane
F: tumhe mil gaye pyaar ke sau bahaane
M: sitaaron ki hai jaise baraat aayi
F: hamaare liye raat yoon jagmagaayi
M: sapne bhi jhilmilaaye
F: dil mein diye jalaaye
M: yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
Both: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

Jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai..

Listening to another duet I came across this one. I don't think I've ever listened to this one before. It completely blew me away... Love the raag malkauns and Rafi sahab's singing. Shammi Kapoor looks so very handsome as ever and actress so much like a mix of Asha Parekh and Vyjayantimala. It's the very beautiful B. Saroja Devi. Too bad she can't act nearly as well as Asha Parekh or Vyjayantimala.

This song takes me back to so many other songs based on the same raag, like chhu lene do nazuk hothon ko, man tarpat hari darsan ko aaj, and songs/music of Navrang.. so beautiful!


jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai (2)
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

aayi hai mere paas tu is aan-baan se (2)
utari ho jaise koyi pari aasmaan se
main kya kahoon khushi se ajab mera haal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

haaye yeh teri mast adaayeh yeh baankpan (2)
kiranon ko bhi main chhoone na doonga tera badan
tujhse nazar milaaye yeh kiski majaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

main khush-naseeb hoon ke tujhe maine paa liya (2)
toone karam kiya apna bana liya
aise mile hai hum ke bichhadna muhaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

LagaN lagi re tose piya re...

Someone mentioned this movie on a blog and I was curious to see the film preview of it so went on youtube to see it. I don't remember what it had except that I couldn't stop listening to this song. It reminds me of my favorite songs from films like Dharm (2007) and Swades. It's so beautiful, thanks to the music, amazing voices of both singers (I can't decide who is better of the two) and lyrics.


KS: (lagaN laagi re tose piya re
balam kesari tose piya re
lagaN laagi re tose laagi re
balam kesari tose laagi re) (2)

SG: jee mein aise base
jaadu sa kyaa kar diya hai
mogare phool si main kheeli
lamhaa har pal juDaa
tumse hi rangeeniyaan hai
saundhi si khushbuen mehki si

KS: lagaN laagi re tose laagi re
balam kesari tose laagi re

(love the music here!)

SG: hmm..
aanch aisi jagi
nainon mein neend na abhi
tumse jo mili
umang ati jaagi hai

KS: saath jo tera hai saanware.. dhola re
nain saveraa hai saanware.. dhola re

SG: chunari meri ude
paijaniyaan itaraaye
saanjh dulhan si dekho saji
lamhaa har pal juDaa
tumse hi rangeeniyaan hai
saundhi si khushbuen mehki si

Both: lagaN laagi re tose laagi re
balam kesari tose laagi re

SG: lagaN laagi re tose piya re
balam kesari tose piya re
lagaN laagi re tose laagi re
balam kesari tose laagi re

(this one reminds me of "tum ne hum ko hansna sikhaaya.. rone kahoge ro lenge hum")
