Sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil...

Just yesterday, I remembered this song out of no where. I think listening to shokh nazar on ki bijaliyaan on Atul's blog a couple of days back might have something to do with it. Both the songs fall under the same category - Asha solos and not the most famous songs from their corresponding films. I think there's more songs that fall under this category and for some reason, I like them a lot and truly enjoy listening to them.

This is a ghazal-like slow song on a piano and a completely expressionless Priya. Even Raj Kumar and Rajesh Khanna can't help it but Vinod Khanna does that in just a few seconds he's on screen and oh-so-gorgeous Hema Malini. I don't remember whether I've watched the film or not, but both of these make me want to. RDB music, specially tabla are quite enjoyable, along with the beautiful lyrics penned by Majroohji.


ho sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil
sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do

(sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do
ek charaag bujhne do ek charaag jalne do)(2)
sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do

(saaz-e-tamannaa laao koyi geet gaaye hum
jashn-e-mohabbat hai yeh jhoom ke manaaye hum)(2)
shaam yeh muraadon ki subah tak to chalne do
sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do
ek charaag bujhne do ek charaag jalne do
sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do

(ab to nazar bhi apni rukti hai duaa ban kar
dhadkan bhi nikli dil se naghmaa-e-wafaa ban kar)(2)
aaj to dilon jaake hasrate nikalne do
sajhati hai yoon hi mehfil rang yoon hi dhalne do
ek charaag bujhne do ek charaag jalne do

Mere Naina Saawan Bhaadon...

Papu and I were listening to the 70s songs together and first one that we listened to together was this one. What a haunting melody! I love both versions but I'm more partial towards Kishore Kumar's version. I don't know what it is about that version, it's like magnet. This one is based on raag shivranjani.


M: hmm hmm aha ha ha

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

aye dil deevaane khel hai kyaa jaane
dard bharaa yeh geet kahaan se
in honthon pe aaye door kahin le jaaye
bhool gayaa kyaa bhool ke bhi hai
mujhko yaad zaraa saa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

baat puraani hai ek kahaani hai
ab sochu tumhe yaad nahin hai
ab sochu nahin bhoole
woh saawan ke jhoole
rutu aaye rut jaaye de kar
jhoothaa ek dilaasaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

barso beet gaye hum ko mile bichhade
bijuri ban kar gagan pe chamki
beete samay ki rekhaa
maine tum ko dekhaa
man sang aankh-micholi khele
aashaa aur niraashaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (3)


F:
ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho ho...

mere nainaa saawan bhaandon
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa (2)

ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho ho...

baat puraani hai ek kahaani hai
ho baat puraani hai
ab sochu tumhe yaad nahin hai
ab sochu nahin bhoole
woh saawan ke jhoole
rutu aaye rut jaaye de ke
jhoothaa ek dilaasaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

ho ho ho.. ho ho... ho ho ho...

barso beet gaye hum ko mile bichhade
bijuri ban kar gagan pe chamki
beete samay ki rekhaa
maine tum ko dekhaa
tadap tadap ke is birhan ko
aaya chain zaraa sa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

ghoonghroo ki chham chham
ban gayi dil kaa gham
doob gayaa dil yaadon mein
ubhari berang lakeeren
dekho yeh tasveeren
soone mehel mein naach rahi hai
ab tak ek rakkaasaa phir bhi
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa
