It's the evergreen music and lyrics that keep this one alive, oh wait.. it's the singers too! :) Can't forget them, can we?
Songs of this film were one of the first ones I remember listening to as a child and I think that's what keeps them so close to heart.
I adore Nargis in this one... so simple and so beautiful.
M: (yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara) (2)
F: aa aa aa aa.. aa aa aa...
kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
(what fun music!)
M: ithalaati hawaa neelam sa gagan
kaliyon pe yeh behoshi ki nami
aise mein bhi kyon bechain hai dil
jeevan mein na jaane kya hai kami
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
(Notice how all of a sudden it changes to haunting music here!)
F: jo din ke ujaale mein na mila
dil dhoondhe aise sapne ko
ek raat ki jag-mag mein doobi
main dhoondh rahi hoon apne ko
M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
(got goosebumpy music?)
M: aise mein kahin kya koyi nahin
bhoole se jo hum ko yaad kare
F: ek halki si muskaan se jo
sapnon ka jahaan aabaad kare
M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
Both: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara

Aaja Sanam Madhur Chaandni Mein Hum
Evergreen! That's the category of this one. The song still sounds brand new after more than half a century and people can still relate to it.
Again, one of those first few songs I listened to as kid and have ever lasting memories attached with it - the old cassette player with loose plug that needed extra support to stay in the plug socket and the tape lid that needed something heavy to be placed on top so the two little groovy holes on tape actually fit into the two revolving screw-like knobs in the player. It was an old family tape player that just sat around and I got to play it around as no one used it. All I had back then was a couple of dusty audio tapes with scratched labels and no clue what was in them. I was just fascinated with the whole mechanism of switches and tape and the music that came out of it... it is only now that I actually realize that it was because of Lataji's and Mannada's lovely voices and SJ's music that did the trick. I had no clue about what the lyrics meant... I still remember thinking that lyricist Shailendra was talking about the garment "lungi" when he wrote "dam bhar jo udhar mooh phere..." :P How silly I was! This one took me back to those childhood days.
I can't stand Raj Kapoor and totally adore Nargis, but still think they made a great pair on silver screen. Hasrat Jaipuri's lyrics just get better and better as I discover/realize how good his work has been.
F: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)
kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)
M: bheegi bheegi raat mein dil ka daaman thaam le
khoyi khoyi zindagi har dum tera naam le
F: (chaand ki behki nazar keh rahi hai pyaar kar
zindagi hai ek safar kaun jaane kal kidhar) (2)
M: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)
F: kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)
M: dil yeh chaahe aaj to baadal ban ud jaau main
dulhan jaisa aasmaan dharti par le aau main
F: (chaand ka dola saje dhoom taaron mein mache
jhoom ke duniya kahe pyaar mein do dil mile) (2)
Both: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)
F: kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)
