Tora mann darpan kehlaaye...

HFM has some ultra talented people who have been contributing to it, especially when it comes to the music department. And some of them were truly blessed souls who actually did so much good for the mankind via that music that it's hard to even imagine. This number being one of those. The lyricists, the musicians, the singers, and to add to that the beautiful actors and film makers who actually decided to make it all happen. It is songs like these that makes me happy beyond words and make me feel grateful that I was born on the Indian subcontinent and understand and appreciate this beautiful language and music.

This one reminds me of so many other prayer songs. Stumbled upon the youtube video of it while listening to another one. Truly a mind-blowing song!!

aa aa aa...

Itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha

The first time I had heard this song was in a school play when I was in 4th standard back in the 80s. I remember the tunes making a spot in my mind and heart and I fell in love with it. It was years later that I realized the music actually originated from Mozart's Symphony No. 40. I still call it inspired by the symphony and not copied from it for my own reasons. ;) Coming back to our song, I think it's very beautifully written and only this music could do justice to it. Absolutely love the words penned by Rajinder Krishan sahab and music of Salil Chaudhary is wonderful. Not to forget the amazing singers for making it what it is!! An amazing song.. I'm glad Talat sahab sung this one and not any other male singers. They wouldn't have been able to do justice to it as well as Talat sahab, I think. Sunil Dutt looks ever so handsome and Asha Parekh so young and beautiful. Who wouldn't fall in love with these gorgeous people? Anyone would!


M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
kaise kisi ka sahaara banu

F: is liye tujhse main pyaar karoon

janam janam se hoon saath tere

M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha

F: janam janam se hoon saath tere

M: (mujhe ek jagaah aaraam nahin
ruk jaana mera kaam nahin) (2)

janam janam se hoon saath tere

(o neel gagan ke deewaane
tu pyaar na mera pehchaane) (2)
main tab tak saath chaloon tere
ab tak na kahe tu main haara

is liye tujhse main pyaar karoon
ke tu ek baadal aawaara
janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
kaise kisi ka sahaara banu
ke khud beghar bechara

(kyon pyaar mein tu naadaan bane
ek paagal ka armaan bane) (2)
F: ab laut ke jaana mushkil hai

Jeevan Dor Tumhi Sang Baandhi

Raag Yaman Kalyan has been one of my favorite ones in recent times and subconsciously or otherwise I keep humming songs that are based on this raag so today as I sat down to listen to all of these songs on youtube, and discovered this beautiful melody by none other than Lata Mangeshkar. Oh how I wish I can go to Mumbai and meet her once. Just once. I'd feel more blessed. The song is out of this world and it's thanks to LP music. Bharat Vyas has penned this one. Wish I also got to see the video of the song... absolutely love everything about this one!


jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)
kya toDenge is bandhan ko
jag toofaan aandhi re aandhi

ho na sake kabhi hum tum nyaare (2)
do tan hai ek praaN hamaare
chaahe mile path mein andhiyaare
chaahe ghire ho baadal saare
phir bhi rahoongi tumhaari tumhaari
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi
jeevan dor

(so love the violins here!)

yoon ghul-mil rehna jeevan mein
jaise rahe kajra akhiyan mein
teri chhabi chhaayi rahe man mein
tera hi naam rahe dhadkan mein
tere daras ki main pyaasi re pyaasi
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)

kaisa mujhe vardaan mila hai (2)
tum kya mile bhagwaan mila hai
ab to janam bhar sang rahega
is mehndi ka rang rahega
tere charaN ki main daasi re daasi
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)

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)

main kya kahoon khushi se ajab mera haal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai

haaye yeh teri mast adaayeh yeh baankpan (2)

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

Kasme waade pyaar wafaa..

Hearing the news about Pransahab's passing, I couldn't think of any better song than this to share. The naked truth and bitter reality of life. Mannada has sung is so beautifully. Especially the aalaap in the words that get repeated twice... so very emotional.

Thrilled for they awarded him with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2012. Rest in peace, dear Pransahab. Om Shanti.

Phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

For some reason this one reminds me of zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi. I think it's the singer, slow music and similar instruments playing in the background that cause this effect.

Absolutely love the way Rafi sahab sings the word "mulaqaat" in this one. Funnily enough, the song came up on youtube as I was listening to "wada na tod" of Lataji and I got to listen to it for the first time. So glad I clicked on it. :) Sharmila looks so gorgeous.


M: phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo (2)
(hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

[love the music here, wondering what other instruments play here other than sitar and violin]

(dil ki har baat adhoori hai adhoori hai abhi
apni ek aur mulaqaat zaroori hai abhi) (2)
chand lamhon ke liye saath ka wada kar lo
hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

F: aap kyon dil ka haaseen raaz mujhe dete hai
kyon nayaa naghmaa nayaa saaz mujhe dete hai
main to hoon doobi hui pyaar ke toofaanon mein
aap saahil se hi aawaaz mujhe dete hai
kal bhi honge yehi jazbaat yeh wada kar lo

phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

Yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum...

One of the best scenes of the film with superb dialogs! It is one of my favorite scenes of the film where Nawaab sahab (Ashok Kumar) actually thinks bad of his friend, Anwar (Rajendra Kumar) but reality is something completely different and how at the end of a-minute-long conversation between Husna and Anwar leaves him speechless and feeling guilty. It's amazing and they've picturized it so well. What top-notch acting by all the actors!

I'm so happy this clip just includes this scene and the beautiful song that follows. Of course, it's hard to choose just one song from this one as each and everyone is fabulous but this one does get a little higher score for having out-of-the-world music, meaningful touchy lyrics and the gorgeous couple with great on-screen chemistry!


M: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

F: jab se toone nigaah pheri hai
din hai soona to raat andheri hai
chaand bhi ab nazar nahin aata
ab sitaare bhi kam nikalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: loot gayi woh bahaar ki mehfil
chhut gayi hum se pyaar ki manzil
zindagi ki udaas raahon mein
teri yaadon ke saath chalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

F: tujhko paa kar hume bahaar mili
tumjhse chhutkar magar yeh baat khuli
baagbaan bhi chaman ke phoolon ko
apne pairon se khud masalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: kyaa kahe tujhse kyon hui doori
hum samajhte hai apni majhboori
tujhko maaloom kyaa ke tere liye
dil gham aansuo mein dhalte hai

F: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

Bekhudi mein sanam...

And I'm back to my favorite decade, the 60s!! I have to admit that I love this one more for music and Shashi Kapoor and the singers' voices than the rest of the talent, if that's what we want to call it. ;) This KA music is the kind that makes the tiny hairs on the entire body stand up, specially the violins and the tabla that go off as soon as Rafi sahab starts singing in the beginning and piercing voice of Lata ji and how Papu would say, that "aashaadhi" (આષાઢી) voice of Rafi sahab! And in all that I didn't even realize that our heroine came and went in a turquoise-colored Santa outfit. I mean who gets time to look at that while that delicious looking Shashi Kapoor is around. This one is one of my favorites of him.

F: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

(Introducing the turquoise Santa!) ;)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam (2)
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye

F: ho ho ho bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F: aag yeh kaisi man mein lagi hai
man se badhi to tan mein lagi hai
M: aag nahin yeh dil ki lagi hai
jitni bujhaayi utni jali hai
F: dil ki lagi na ho to kya zindagi hai
saath hum jo chale mit gaye faasle
M: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

M: khoyi nazar thi soye nazaare
dekha tumhe to jaage yeh saare
F: dil ne kiye jo dil ko ishaare
mil ke chale hum saath tumhaare
M: aaj khushi se mera dil yeh pukaare
tera daaman mila pyaar mera khila
F: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F:dil ki kahaani pahoochi zubaan tak
kis ko khabar ab pahoche kahaan tak
M:pyaar ke raahi aaye yahaan tak
jaayenge dil ki had hai jahaan tak
F:tum saath do to chale hum aasmaan tak

Waadiyaan mera daaman...

So actually it happens so that in Hulchul, it is not when Kishanbhaiya/Murari arrives at Gangapur this Rafi song plays. It is when Jai and Lucky get off the bus (at 1:30:00 in this clip) this song plays. Then the song playing when Kishanbhaiya arrives (at 1:33:00 min) is different and quite inaudible so it's hard to listen.

Coming back to our song now.. wow! what a fabulous song... and it's all thanks to the RDB music & the way Rafi sahab has sung this song. Nothing else adds to it. The dhun is so catchy and echoing music out of this world! I guess this must be my favorite song too because it also falls under the most-absentmindedly-hummed category.

Sanjay Khan and Nanda are just about okay in the gorgeous melodious male solo version of the song seems a bit haunting at times. The softer romantic female version, which could actually be a duet, is picturized on Nanda and Marathi actor Kashinath Ghanekar. Note how both versions have completely different music.


M: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab churaaoge tan tum kisi baat se (2)

Khoya Khoya Chaand Khula Aasmaan...

I really enjoy rewatching my favorite films because that's when I get to pay attention to those little details that I probably missed while watching them the previous times.

Do you remember that scene in Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (at 6:26 min) when super upset Baauji (Amrish Puri) arrives at home from store after just having dealt with beer-guzzling Raj (SRK)? Simran (Kajol) wants to go on a tour of Europe, so to set the right mood, she promptly switches the song from random hulla-gulla type song (which probably is another HFM oldie) to gham diye mustakil.

Similarly, in Jab We Met when Aditya (Shahid) and Geet (Kareena) arrive at Hotel Decent, there is a moment when some random song plays in the background. The music of it is so cool it just makes you feel happy. I kept wondering and recalling random songs for almost an hour to find out which one this was until Papu came by. As soon as I had him listen to it, he said it!! and indeed this was it!!

I think there's one more song like this. It is during the scene in film Hulchul (Kareena starrer) when Kishanbhaiya (Paresh Raval) arrives at his village on a bus to see his wife Gopi (Farah). He gets off the bus near this paan ki dukaan/stall and the song is playing in the background right at that moment. I definitely know it's a Mohd Rafi song.. need to go back and watch the scene again to remember what song that is... that song tomorrow, if I don't already have it on here. :)

Any ways, for this one, I find it hilarious that Dev Anand sahab had to move his hands such funny way to make it work. I love the song nevertheless, mostly for the music and lyrics and Rafi sahab's voice. And also for the fact that it has fooooooooooourrrr lovely stanzas and how the third one starts off on a completely different tune than rest of them. Enjoy!

Madhosh Hawaa Matwaali Fizaa... Sansaar Suhaana Lagta Hai

Happy New Year 2011! May this year be filled with more fun music and ever growing love for it.

So what happens when you start listening to songs in the new year anticipating fun numbers to listen to and watch while youtubing and your three-stanza-long-positive-thoughts-filled song turns out to be double in length and even more fun!!? That is called a truly happy new year. That's exactly what happened today while listening to this number and boy! am I glad I went to listen to those initial songs on Resp. Shammi ji's channel on youtube. That was also a discovery - a complete cherry-on-top, icing-on-the-cake moment.

If you've listened to this one before, I guarantee that it will still be more entertaining to listen to it again today. I love love LOVE this one and not just for Rafi sahab or for Shammi ji but both of them and even more. The SJ music is so upbeat and cheers me up and lyrics are out of this world. What a nice song penned by Farooq Qaiser. My greedy self still wants to have the video of this whole song on youtube. Hopefully soon! :D

(pal bhar ko na hum aaraam kare

kismat ki shikaayat kya karna
bhagwan ko kyon badnaam kare
ek roz humaare haathon se
badalega zamaana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

jo aag tumhaare dil mein lage
us aag mein mera dil bhi jale ha ha
jo aag tumhaare dil mein lage
uss aag mein mera dil bhi jale
dhanwaan ho ya nirdhan ho koyi
daata ki nazar mein ek hue
insaan se rishta insaan ka
is jag mein puraana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai

oh ho ho.. ho ho.. aa ha ha ha...
ey hey hey.. hey hey... hey hey hey...

kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

(nazaren hai kahin zulfen hai kahin
har baat jawaan har baat haseen) (2)
mitataa hai mera dil mit jaaye
to apni adaayen rok nahin
andaaz jawaani kya kahiye
thokar mein zamaana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

(tum apni nazar ki bechaini
samjhoge nahin kamsin ho abhi) (2)
aata hai mazaa ab jeene mein
mar jaaye hamaare dil ki lagi
dekha jo tumhe to yaad aaya
yeh dard puraana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai

oh ho ho.. aa ha.. aa ha...
oh ho ho.. aa ha.. ha ha ha...
aa ha ho.. ho ho.. aa ha...
aa ha ha.. aa ha.. ha ha ha...

Jai Raghunandan Jai Siyaa Raam

It's been a while since I heard a bhajan that sounds so good. Absolutely adore the way the singers have sung this one.

And if it reminds you of other songs such as chandan sa badan that's because they're all based on raag yaman.

I completely adore the woman in this song. I have no idea who that is but she looks gorgeous and I love her jewelry too. If anyone knows who the actors are in this song, please do share. I only know that the youngest kid is Daisy Irani.

I am fascinated with the Ravi music and Shakeel Badayuni lyrics here. Wow! it's just amazing...


M: shri raam chandra aashrit paarijaataha
samast kalyaan gunaabhiraamaha
sitaa mukhaamburuhu chancharikaha
nirantaram mangal maatanotu

aa aa aa... aa aa aa... aa aa aa aa aa...
aa aa aa aa aa aa...

M: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam
Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam

F: hey dukhbhanjan tumhe pranaam
Ch: hey dukhbhanjan tumhe pranaam
jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

F: bhraat bhaat ko hey parameshwar sneh tumhi sikhlaate
aa aa aa
aa aa aa... aa aa aa aa (How sweet does she sound!)
bhraat bhaat ko hey parameshwar sneh tumhi sikhlaate
M: nar naari ke prem ki jyoti jag mein tumhi jalaate
Both: o naiyaa ke khevanhaare japu main tumhro naam

Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

M: tum hi dayaa ke saagar prabhu ji tum hi paalanhaare
F: chain tum hi se paaye bekal manvaa saanjh sakhaare
Both: jo bhi tumhri aas lagaaye (2) bane usi ke kaam
Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

Main To Tere Haseen Khayaalon Mein

When I started listening to the song, it caught my attention right away because the music was so attractive, specially all the instruments in the beginning of the song. And then the sweetest voice followed and it just made me get lost the way they say "main to tere haseen khayaal mein kho gayaa". First glimpse of the video gave me a feeling the actor too looked too familiar. Of course, why not, it's Dara Singh's brother Randhawa. They look so similar I almost got mixed up. It amazes me how many Bollywood men Rafi sahab gave his voice to. The actress, Swarna Kumari, also looks pretty nice for being not-so-famous.

I am so in love with this music. It is of Lala Asar Sattar. I've never heard of him before today. Must find more of his work. Lyrics per earthmusic are by Aish Kanwal. Nice ones and I adore them for the meaning and rhyming words. Hope you enjoy it too!


main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa (2)
duniyaa yeh keh rahi hai ke deewaana ho gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

yeh husn teraa khiltaa huaa saa gulaab hai (2)
aankhen teri haseen kanwal kaa shabaab hai
tu laajawaab hai
woh khushnaseeb hai teri mehfil mein jo gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

koyi na jis ko samjhaa tu ek aisaa raaz hai (2)
mujhko bhi aaj apne muqaddar pe naaz hai
tu dil nawaaz hai
aashiq hoon teri zulf ke saaye mein so gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

daaman chhudaa ke jaao na itne guroor se (2)
kyaa hai kusoor poochhate hai hum huzoor se
dekho na door se
kar do khataa muaaf jo honaa thaa ho gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

duniyaa yeh keh rahi hai ke deewaana ho gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

Chaman Ke Phool Bhi Tujhko

The random Rafi songs I have placed on my ipod are the best because I get to listen to new undiscovered numbers while I least expect it. This one was discovered the same way. Ever since I listened to it for the first time, it has made me want to go back to it and listen to it over and over again. Sometimes, I just go directly to this one and listen to it. It's that beautiful.

Later on, when I googled for it to find the video, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it was a song picturized on Ajit and Ragini (the girl from phir aane lagaa yaad). What a lovely and unique pairing! No wonder the song is so much fun to listen to as it's sung by Rafi-Lata combo and music is of G.S. Kohli (wonder whether he is related to Madan Mohan) and taareef karofying words penned by Faarooq Qaiser. :)


M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko gulaab kehte hai (2)
humi nahin hai sabhi (2) laajawaab kehte hai
F: nazar milaa ke mere (2) dil ki baat pehchaano
sunaa hai chehre ko (2) dil ki kitaab kehte hai
M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko

F: (saaz-e-dil chhed diyaa hai
to yeh naghma sun lo) (2)
bikhri bikhri hai mere pyaar ki kirane chun lo
M: isi kiran ko sanam (2) aaftaab kehte hai
F: humi nahin (2)
M: humi nahin hai sabhi laajawaab kehte hai
F: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko

M: (chashm-e-hairaan ki kasam
zulf-e-pareshaan ki kasam) (2)
maang lo jaan tumhe meri jaan ki kasam
F: ghazab ki baat hai (2) yeh kyaa janaab kehte hai
M: humi nahin haaye.. humi nahin
F: humi nahin hai sabhi laajawaab kehte hai
M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko

F: aaj tak dekhi nahin aisi behekti aankhen (2)
M: daal do hum pe in aankhon mein chhalakti aankhen
F: sambhal ke peenaa ise (e) sab sharaab kehte hai
M: humi nahin hoye humi nahin
F: humi nahin hai sabhi laajawaab kehte hai

M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko gulaab kehte hai
humi nahin hai sabhi laajawaab kehte hai
F: nazar milaa ke mere dil ki baat pehchaano
sunaa hai chehre ko dil ki kitaab kehte hai
M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko

Chale jaana zaraa thehro

As I was casually humming tumhaare gin guzaare hai, Papu said it sounded so much like this song that I'd never heard of. He knew of the song and film so it was really easy to search for it and listen to it. What a lovely song it is... I haven't listened to much of Sharda's singing except for her "titli udi", that too I didn't really know her name, so it was a pleasant surprise to find this duet of hers with Mukesh.

Absolutely love SJ music and adore the fact that the song has four complete stanzas... mazaa aa gayaa! I'm also hooked on the other song from same film with the same singers "duniya ki sair kar lo". It'd be awesome to find out what raag this song is based on.

It's so much fun to see different parts of world in these songs. In this one, I think it's Niagara Falls.


M: (chale jaana zaraa thehro kisi kaa dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana) (2)

F: chale jaana zaraa thehro kisi kaa dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana chale jaana

M: abhi aaye ho baitho to yeh mausam bhi suhaana hai (2)
abhi to haal-e-dil tum ko nigaahon se sunaana hai
nazar pyaasi yeh dil pyaasa kisi ka dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana chale jaana

F: haseen jharanon ke saaye mein akelaa chhod jaate ho (2)
hamaare dil ko aakhir kis liye tum tod jaate ho
zaraa dum lo kahaa maano kisi ka dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana chale jaana

M: hamaari jaan ho tum bhi agar chal di to phir kyaa hai (2)
tumhaare bin bahaaron mein khushi kyaa hai mazaa kyaa hai (the tunes here remind me of "tum se pyaar hai" of yeh meraa prempatra)
o jaan-e-man na jaao tum kisi ka dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana chale jaana

F: kasam khaati hoon main apni tumhe ab na sataaungi (2)
tumhaari baat jo bhi ho wohi main maan jaaungi
bhari aankhen ruki saansen? kisi ka dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana
chale jaana zaraa thehro kisi kaa dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana

M: chale jaana zaraa thehro kisi kaa dum nikaltaa hai
yeh manzar dekh kar jaana chale jaana

Bandaa parvar thaam lo jigar...

For me, if one movie that can come close to Golmaal, it would be Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon. Like Golmaal, I must have watched it more than 20 times. It is one of those movies that falls under the "most-entertaining" category. That could be a personal thing too as I truly enjoy the music, songs, story, acting along with the silliness and everything else about the movie.

It's so much fun to watch these songs over and over again. Jeeps and the tall trees remind me of another OPN-Majrooh-Rafi song pukaarta chala hoon main. The best part about this one are the music, lyrics and singer's voice along with all the horse-carriges/taanga and Popatlaal's comedy. And for some reason, everytime I hear the taanga music in a song, it makes me feel that it must be OPN song.

Joy Mukherjee becomes a pathan to disguise himself in this one and Asha Parekh as her beautiful bossy self with a cute hat. It's a lot of fun to watch them. They had pretty good onscreen chemistry. As for the location, I wonder what place this is. Mona's friend mentions Barahmulla right before the song but I am not sure whether that's where it is.

If you are watching the extended clip below, check out the comedy parts of Difu (Rajendranath) in and around the song for additional entertainment. :)


bandaa parvar

khidmat mein aap ki huzoor

Mukhde pe tere... chal thamke zaraa...

The music mislead me to believe that it was a Shammi Kapoor song. How wrong I was... and after watching it, I feel it should've really been a Shammi Kapoor song. Oh well! I am just going to feel happy for it is a Rafi song.

It is one awesome awesome song.. with really cool lyrics. Listening to these lyrics by Prem Dhavan. First time I'm hearing this name. Wonder whether he's related to other Dhavan's of our film industry.

This three-stanza song reminds me of another Rafi song of Dharam paaji yehi hai tamanna.

I think the actress looks better than the actor. ;) And this marks a new entry to the car songs!!


mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(har jalwaa tera hai qaatil
har ek adaa dil loote) (2)
hai chaal mein teji jaise
ek teer kamaan se chhute
jab chalti ho tum (2)
kehte hai sabhi hat jaao qayaamat aati hai [this line makes me laugh!]
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(naagan ki tarah balkhaati [hehehe... check out his dancing here ;)]
daalo na idhar tum phere) (2)
hai aas lagaaye baithe
hum jaise to laakh sapere
kitnaa bhi zaher (2)
naagin mein rahe jab been baje phas jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(dil cheez hai khone waali
is ko itnaa na sambhaalo) (2)
aankhon mein basaa loongaa main
yeh dil jo mujhe de daalo
naadaan ho tum (2)
naadaanon se har cheez kahin kho jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

Meraa pyaar woh hai...

The collection on my ipod finally got replenished with new songs. Not literally new, but new for me. This is one of those gems that I'm totally hooked to since this evening. Wow! what a marvelous and romantic song.. it's been a while since I listened to one of these. It reminds me of tumhara chahnewala khuda ki duniya mein, may be because it's by the same singer and same musician and same lyricist and picturized on the same actor? whoa.. it's like they tried to recreate magic and it worked. It's the other way around actually. This one came first and then the song from Kahin Din Kahin Raat.

Audiowise both songs are super romantic and make me want to listen to them over and over again, but I do prefer watching b/w clip with the dimpled, very young, and extremely expressive Sharmila in it (I think I will forgive her for not wearing her signature blouse with a knot in the back ;)) than some random actress. Moreover, I am partial to the filming that takes you on a tour of facial features of actors.

Mahendra Kapoor is wonderful in this one and now I have one more song of his to add to my favorites collection. Can't praise the music enough and lyrics as always are absolutely crazy, but likable or so I find. :)


(meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa) (2)
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(what out of this world music plays here!)

zamaana to karvat badalta rahegaa
naye zindagi ke taraane banenge
mitegi na lekin mohabbat hamaari
mitaane ke sau sau bahaane banenge
haqeeqat hameshaa haqeeqat rahegi
kabhi bhi na is kaa fasaana banegaa
meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(absolutely love the flute playing here)

tumhe chheen le meri baahon se koyi
meraa pyaar yoon besahaara nahin hai
tumhaara badan chaandani aa ke chhu le
mere dil ko yeh bhi ganwaara nahin hai
koyi bhi agar tum se aa ke mile to
tumhaari kasam hai meraa dil jalegaa

meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai
