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!


ho ho ho ho
(khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho) (2)
khoya khoya chaand

(this music plays at the beginning of scene at Hotel Decent in Jab We Met)

masti bhari hawaa jo chali (2)
khil-khil gayi yeh dil ki kali
man ki gali main hai khalbhali
ke unko to bulaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

taare chale nazaare chale (2)
sang sang mere woh saare chale
chaaron taraf ishaare chale
kisi ke to ho jaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

ho.. ho ho ho (2)

aisi hi raat bheegi si raat (2)
haathon mein haath hote woh saath
keh lete unse dil ki yeh baat
ab to na sataao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

hum mit chale jinke liye
hum mit chale hai jinke liye
bin kuchh kahe woh chup chup rahe
koyi zaraa yeh unse kahe
na aise aazmaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand (6)

Jaa Re... Jaa Re Ud Jaa Re Panchhi

You think Salil Chaudhary and all these golden melodies start playing inside the head. This is one of those songs of him that I adore so much, mostly because of music. It never gets old. The lyrics are also very beautiful. Picturized on a young and beautiful Mala Sinha.


(jaa re...
jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki) (2)
jaa re...

(na daali rahi naa kali
ajab gham ki aandhi chali
udi dukh ki dhool raahon mein) (2)
jaa re...
yeh gali hai birhan ki
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...

(main veena uthaa naa saki
tere snag gaa naa saki
dhale mere geet aahon mein) (2)
jaa re...
yeh gali hai asuan ki
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...

jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
ke ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re...

Teri zulfon se judaai to nahin maangi thi...

A romantic number from one of my old tapes. They don't make songs like these any more. 60's songs truly rock!


F: is hirso hawas ki duniyaa mein
armaan badalte dekhen hai
dhokhaa hai yahaan laalach hai yahaan
imaan badalte dekhe hai

Ch: waah waah... waah waah

F: daulat ke sunehre jaadoo se aye dil tadapnaa achhaa hai
chaandi ke khanakte sikko par insaan badalte dekhe hai...

M: (teri zulfon se judaai to nahin maangi thi
qaid maangi thi rihaai to nahin maangi thi) (2)

maine kyaa jurm kiyaa aap khafaa ho baithe (2)
pyaar maangaa thaa khudaai to nahin maangi thi
qaid maangi thi rihaai to nahin maangi thi

meraa haq thaa teri aankhon ki chhalakti may par (2)
cheez apni thi paraayi to nahin maangi thi
qaid maangi thi rihaai to nahin maangi thi

apne beemaar pe itnaa bhi sitam theek nahin (2)
teri ulfat mein buraai to nahin maangi thi
qaid maangi thi rihaai to nahin maangi thi

teri zulfon se judaai to nahin maangi thi
qaid maangi thi rihaai to nahin maangi thi

Aise to na dekho...

I like very few songs of Dev Anand and this is one of them. Rafi sahab's voice can be the most playful and entice you. He's done a fantastic job in this one, I adore this one. Burmandada's music touches your heart, and Majrooh Sultanpuri's lyrics are penned so beautifully, they describe the feelings of how someone's eyes can intoxicate you.


aise to na dekho ke hum ko nasha ho jaaye
aise to na dekho
khubsoorat si koyi hum se khataa ho jaaye (2)
aise to na dekho

tum hume roko phir bhi hum naa ruke
tum kaho kaafir phir bhi aise jhuke
qadam-e-naaz pe ek sajdaa adaa ho jaaye
aise to na dekho

yoon na ho aankhen rahe kaajal ghole
badh ke bekhudi hanseen gesu khole
khul ke phir zulfen siyaah kaali balaa ho jaaye
aise to na dekho

hum to masti mein jaane kyaa kyaa kahe
lab-e-naazuk se aisa na ho tumhe
beqaraari kaa gilaa hum se sivaa ho jaaye

aise to na dekho ke hum ko nasha ho jaaye
khubsoorat si koyi hum se kataa ho jaaye
aise to na dekho...

Mehfil Mein Jal Uthi Shamaa

One of my favorite songs of Chitalkar & Lataji. I was quite pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picturized on Madhubala. :)


mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa
(mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye) (2)

chaaron taraf lagaaye phere phir bhi har dum door rahe
ulfat dekho aag bani hai milne se majhboor rahe
yehi sazaa hai duniya mein
yehi sazaa hai duniya mein deewaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye

marne ka hai naam mohabbat jalne ka hai naam jawaani
patthar dil hai sun ne waale kehne waala aankh ka paani
aansoo aaye aankhon mein
aansoo aaye aankhon mein gir jaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
