Do Ghadi Woh Jo Paas Aa Baithe

Been listening to songs with outstanding abhinay by the artists. This was among of my favorites for the lyrics and music along with the acting/abhinay of both of these actors. First time ever I actually liked Bharat Bhushan and Madhubala looks so innocent with such expressive eyes. Truly gorgeous! As usual, the music/tunes of this song remind me of some other song but I can't pinpoint to which one...


M:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe (2)
F:: hum zamaane se door ja baithe (2)
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

M:: (bhool ki un ka hum-naseen ho ke
royenge dil ko umra-bhar kho ke) (2)
haaye kya cheez thi loota baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

F:: (dil ko ek din zaroor jaana tha
wahin pahooncha jahaan thikaana tha) (2)
dil wohi dil jo dil mein jaa baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

M:: (ek dil hi tha gham-gusaar apnaa
meherbaan khaas raazdaar apnaa) (2)
gair ka kyon use banaa baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

F:: (gair bhi to koyi haseen hogaa
dil yoon hi de diyaa nahin hogaa) (2)
dekh kar kuchh to chot khaa baithe

Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe
hum zamaane se door ja baithe
do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

With dialogs:

Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

I just discovered the duet of this song today while searching for the video of the male version. Can't believe I hadn't listened to the second version of this song.. HFM has so many goodies that I think one life time isn't enough to enjoy them all. ;) In any case, I am happy that I got to watch this song today too. Madhubala looks adorable and Bharat Bhushan quite handsome (that's given the fact that I've never found him handsome until I watched this song, yup, not even in Jahan Ara). Any how, music is beautiful and actually makes us feel we are standing at the windowsill watching the raindrops fall on our face. Lyrics are also quite romantic and very meaningful. Love this one!


F: zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
ek anjaan musafir se mulaqaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

haaye jis raat mere dil ne dhadakna seekha
shauq jazbaat ne seene mein bhadakna seekha
meri taqdeer se nikali wohi (2) sadmaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

dil ne jab pysar ke rangeen fasaane chhede
aankhon aankhon mein wafaaon ke taraane chhede
sog mein doob gaye aaj woh (2) naghmaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

M: roothne waali
roothne waali meri baat se mayoos na ho
behke behke se khayaalat se mayoos na ho
khatm hogi na kabhi tere mere (2) saath ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
ek anjaan haseena se mulaqaat ki raat

Both: zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~

M: zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
ek anjaan haseena se mulaqaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

haaye woh reshmi zulfon se barasta paani (2)
phool se gaalon pe rukne ko tarasta paani
dil mein toofan uthaate hue
dil mein toofan uthaate hue jazbaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

dar ke bijali se achaanak woh lipatna uska
aur phir sharm se balkha ke simatna uska
kabhi dekhi na suni aisi ho
kabhi dekhi na suni aisi tilismaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

surkh aanchal ko dabaa kar jo nichoda usne (2)
dil pe jalta hua ek teer sa chhoda usne
aag paani mein lagaate hue (2) haalaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

mere naghmon mein jo basti hai woh tasveer thi woh
naujawaani ke haseen khwaab ki taabeer thi woh
aasmaanon se utar aayi ho
aasmaanon se utar aayi thi jo raat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi

Baad Muddat Ke Yeh Ghadi Aayi

For the first time I got to listen to this extra long version of the song. It's fantastic!

M: (baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi) (2)
ishq mar mar ke kaamayaab hua
aaj ek zarraa aaftaab hua (2)

F: shukriyaa hai huzoor aane kaa (2)
waqt jaagaa gareeb-khaane kaa
ek zamaane ke baad eid hui
eid se pehle meri eid hui (2)

M: eid kaa chaand aaj dekhaa hai
eid kaa kyon na aitbaar aaye
haath utha kar duaa yeh kartaa hoon
eid phir aisi baar-baar aaye (2)

F: ishq ka hi koyi khuda hoga
aur jo hoga to sun raha hoga
eid aisi kabhi na aayegi
saath jo aap ko na laayegi (2)

M: din zamaane kaa raat apni hai
is ghadi kaayanaat apni hai
ishq par husn ki inaayat hai
mere pehloo mein meri jannat hai (2)

F: faasale waqt ne mitaa hi diye
dil tadapte hue milaa hi diye
kaash is waqt maut aa jaaye
zindagaani pe aake chhaa jaaye (2)

M: aap jab mere paas hote hai
chaand taare udaas hote hai

F: shola-e-ishq jab bhadakta hai
to khuda ka bhi dil dhadakta hai

M: ishq ko to khuda banata hai
khauf phir kis liye woh bhata? hai

F: ishq apna na kaam kaaj aaye
to khudaai bhi maat kha jaaye (2)

Both: baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi

Woh Chup Rahe To

Jahan Ara has so many goodies of Talat that every once in a while I forget to appreciate the Lata songs in it. And I think Rajendar Krishan is the best lyricist of HFM. I"m short of words to describe Madan Mohan's work here. You just gotta listen to this gem.

Once again you realize that if it weren't for tabla, there would be no Indian music at all. What I love about this song and the others from this era, is that when the singer sings, there is practically no music or very minimal music playing in background and then the singer stops singing, you're taken on a journey to your heart with the soulful, touchy music. It makes you get lost in this place that has no boundaries.

Even the mujra songs of this time period in HFM were so classy! If you heard a song like this on the radio, it'd make you stop whatever that you're doing and just listen to the song and appreciate the beauty of it.


वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है (२)
जो बात कर ले ... आ आ ...
जो बात कर ले तो बुझते चिराग जलते है
वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है

कहो बुझे के जले
हम अपनी राह चले या तुम्हारी राह चले
कहो बुझे के जले
बुझे तो ऐसे के जैसे किसी गरीब का दील
किसी गरीब का दील
जले तो ऐसे के जैसे चिराग जलते है
वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है

ये खोयी खोयी नज़र
कभी तो होगी इधर या सदा रहेगी उधर
यह खोयी खोयी नज़र
उधर तो एक सुलगता हुआ है विराना
है एक विराना
मगर इधर तो बहारों में बाग़ जलते है
वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है

जो अश्क पी भी लिए
जो होठ सी भी लिए तो सितम ये किस पे किये
जो अश्क पी भी लिए
कुछ आज अपनी सुनो और कुछ आज मेरी सुनो
कुछ आज मेरी सुनो
खामोशियों से तो दील और दिमाग जलते है
वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है
जो बात कर ले तो बुझते चिराग जलते है

वोह चूप राहे तो मेरे दील के दाग जलते है

Phir Wohi Shaam..

This is probably Talat sabab's most famous number from Jahan Ara. One of my favorites when it comes to TM and Madan Mohan combo. Beautiful Urdu lyrics by Rajender Krishan make the song more meaningful.


(फिर वोही शाम वोही घम वोही तन्हाई है
दील को समझाने तेरी याद चली आयी है) (२)
फिर वोही शाम

दील तस्सवूर तेरे पेहलू में बिठा जाएगा (२)
फिर गया वक़्त घड़ी भर को पलट आएगा
दील बहल जाएगा आख़िर को तो सौदा ही है
फिर वोही शाम वोही घम वोही तन्हाई है
दील को समझाने तेरी याद चली आयी है
फिर वोही शाम

जाने अब तुझसे मुलाक़ात कभी हो के ना हो (२)
जो अधूरी रही वोह बात कभी हो के ना हो
मेरी मंज़िल तेरी मंज़िल से बिछड़ आयी है
फिर वोही शाम वोही घम वोही तन्हाई है
दील को समझाने तेरी याद चली आयी है
फिर वोही शाम

Teri Aankh Ke Aansoo Pee Jaau

When Senty mentioned Jahan Ara in her comment today, I just had to listen to this album. I feel this is best of Madan Mohan because it is a powerhouse of best of songs ever made. And like an icing on the cake, he had Lata and Talat both sing in this collection. All songs of this movie are my favorite but if I have to be partial and pick one of Talat, I pick this one. I also adore "phir wohi shaam" for everything and the sitar and flute played in that one. This one I like for all it has to offer and the violins. The way Talat pours dard in his songs is amazing. You can say nothing but the tears in your eyes say it all while listening to this number. Awesome acting by Mala Sinha and Bharat Bhushan. I think Mala Sinha was the best actress of Hindi cinema.


तेरा घम्खार हूँ लेकिन मैं तुझ तक आ नहीं सकता
मैं अपने नाम तेरी बेकसी लिखवा नहीं सकता...

तेरी आंख के आंसू पी जाऊ, ऐसी मेरी तकदीर कहाँ (२)
तेरे घम में तुझको बेहलाऊ ऐसी मेरी तकदीर कहाँ (२)
तेरी आंख के आंसू पी जाऊ

ए काश जो मिल कर रोते, कुछ दर्द तो हलके होते
बेकार ना जाते आंसू, कुछ दाग जिगर के धोते
फिर रंझ ना होता इतना, है तन्हाई में जितना
अब जाने यह रास्ता घम का, है और भी लम्बा कितना
हालात कि उलझन सुल्जाऊ (२)
ऐसी मेरी तकदीर कहाँ
तेरी आंख के आंसू पी जाऊ

क्या तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ का लहरा, है अब तक वोही सुनेहरा
क्या अब तक तेरे दर पे, देती है हवाएं पेहरा
लेकिन है ख़्वाब खयाली, तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ बनी है सवाली
मोहताज है एक कली की, एक रोज़ थी फूलों वाली
वोह ज़ुल्फ़-ए-परेशान मेह्काऊ (२)
ऐसी मेरी तकदीर कहाँ
तेरी आंख के आंसू पी जाऊ, ऐसी मेरी तकदीर कहाँ
तेरी आंख के आंसू पी जाऊ

Main Teri Nazar Ka Suroor Hoon

Today, reading a Talat Mahmood song on Nova's blog, I realized I haven't listened to his songs in a great while. I was reminded of some of my favorite Talat songs. Here's one of those that comes to mind right now.

To actually feel the feelings conveyed in this song, one would have to watch this movie but then again when I think about it, the lyrics of Rajendar Krishan do tell it all and with the silken voice of Talat Mahmood, one can do nothing more than feel the pain of separation between two lovers. Madan Mohan here has an ability to moisten your eyes with tears by his music.


main teri nazar ka suroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
tere paas rehke bhi door hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon

(mujhe aankh se to giraa diyaa
kaho dil se bhi kyaa bhulaa diyaa) (2)
teri aashiqi ka guroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon

(teri zulf hai mera haath hai
ke tu aaj bhi mere saath hai) (2)
tere dil mein main bhi zaroor hoon
tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
main teri nazar ka suroor hoon


मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
तेरे पास रेहके भी दूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ

(मुझे आंख से तो गीरा दीया
कहो दील से भी क्या भुला दीया) (२)
तेरी आशीकी का गुरूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ

(तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ है मेरा हाथ है
के तू आज भी मेरे साथ है) (२)
तेरे दील में मैं भी ज़रूर हूँ
तुझे याद हो के ना याद हो
मैं तेरी नज़र का सुरूर हूँ
