Maine.. tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune...

Rajesh Khanna. I think the name and I see this person who is loved by all. Or at least that's how I want to see him. It's been three days since he's gone but he lives in his songs, in his films, in his fans, in the people who loved him. For me, he'd always be this hero who stole my heart without me knowing about it. He didn't even do anything but just look. That's who he is. Been thinking about him and listening to his songs and this is the one that summarizes him. Kaka, you've been a legend and will always be remembered so fondly. May you continue to create magic with your eyes wherever you are. God bless you.

maine
tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(chhoti baatein
chhoti chhoti baaton ki hai yaaden badi
bhule nahin beeti hui ek chhodi ghadi) (2)
janam janam se aankhen bichaayi
tere liye in raahon mein
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(bhole bhaale
bhole bhaale dil ko behlaate rahe
tanhaayi mein tere khayaalon ko sajaate rahe) (2)
khabi kabhi to aawaaz de kar
mujhko jagaaye khwaabon ne
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(roothi raate
roothi hui raaton ko manaaya kabhi
tere liye bheegi subah ko bulaaya kabhi) (2)
tere bina bhi tere liye hi
diye jalaaye raahon mein

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

Film song with two stanzas:


Mukesh's song with stanza "bhole bhaale":

Deewaane Hai Deewaanon Ko

It's amazing to be able to analyze the lyrics and music of favorite songs, and if you can do that on a daily basis, it's even more fun... that's how we remembered this one today. The lyrics are so beautiful and fun to hum along with the song and sweet voices of Lataji and Rafi sahab just add to the charm.

When I first watched this film almost a decade ago, it was amazing to discover that the actor is none other than the lyricist himself. Now we don't get to see that often in HFM, do we?


M: aap ke dil mein jo thodi si jagaah mil jaaye
apne armaanon ki betaab kali khil jaaye

M: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye
F: jawaani mein jawaani ke sahaare ho jawaan mere meherbaan
mujhe tu hi tu humsafar chaahiye humsafar chaahiye
Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye

M: hai sar pe humaare khulaa aasmaan khulaa aasmaan (2)
F: hamaare liye hai yehi aashiyaan yehi aashiyaan
M: bina pyaar ke zindagi kuchh nahin (2)
jahaan pyaar hai har khushi hai wahin
F: ho phoolon bhari chaahe chaahe kaanton bhari haan kaanton bhari
chale jis pe tu woh dagar chaahiye dagar chaahiye

Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye

M: nigaahon mein aise ishaare hue ishaare hue (2)
F: ke dil ne kahaa hum tumhaare hue tumhaare hue
M: nazar ban gayi hai zubaan pyaar mein (2)
mazaa aa gayaa jeet kaa haar mein
F: milega wohi maangoge jo dildaar se magar pyaar se
duwaaon mein apni asar chaahiye asar chaahiye

Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye
jawaani mein jawaani ke sahaare ho jawaan mere meherbaan
mujhe tu hi tu humsafar chaahiye humsafar chaahiye

Saawan Ke Jhule Pade...

Discovered this one quite recently when I was just listening to songs from Amitabh Bachchan films, and ever since then I can't stop listening to this one. Such a sweet romantic number it is. Parts of the song remind me of the title song of Chupke Chupke - "chupke chupke chal ri purvaiya". And of course why wouldn't it? After all it's Lata gem and Anand Bakshi's lyrics and dada Burman's music.

The background music that incorporates the 7-beat Taal Rupak tells me the song is probably based on some raag. Out of curiosity I tried searching for more info but haven't been able to find it. In any case, the song is such fun to listen to...


आ आ आ आ
सावन के झूले पड़े (२)
तुम चले आओ (४)

आँचल ना छोडे मेरा पागल हुई है पवन
पवन...
आँचल ना छोडे मेरा पागल हुई है पवन
आ आ आ आ अब क्या करूं में जतन
धडके जिया जैसे पंछी उडे हाँ
सावन के झूले पड़े
तुम चले आओ (२)

दील ने पुकारा तुम्हे यादों के परदेस से
आ आ
दील ने पुकारा तुम्हे यादों के परदेस से
आ आ आ आ आती है जो देस से
हम उस डगर पे है कब से खडे हाँ
सावन के झूले पड़े
तुम चले आओ (२)

जब हम मिले थे पिया तुम कितने नादान थे
हाँ आ आ
जब हम मिले थे पिया तुम कितने नादान थे
आ आ आ आ हम कितने अंजान थे
बाली उमरियाँ में नैना लडे हाँ
सावन के झूले पड़े
तुम चले आओ (४)
