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

Har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai...

I wanted to post this one since a few days since Rajani requested it.

What I like the most about this one is the lyrics. So full of feelings and have such a divine description... Mannada's voice is soulful. I also had a wonderful time watching Raj Kumar in it. Wish it was someone else other than Priya Rajvansh. I don't know why they kept bringing these two in movies together. She must know some big shots to be in so many movies. ;)

The song is beautiful one. Thanks, Rajani, for introducing me to this gem. Please do suggest more of your favorite ones.


har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

itni sacchaai hai in aankhon mein
khote sikke bhi khare ho jaaye
tu kabhi pyaar se dekhe jo udhar
sukhe jangal bhi hare ho jaaye
baag ban jaaye (2) jo veeraane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

ek halkaa saa ishaaraa in kaa
kabhi dil aur kabhi jaan lootegaa
kis tarah pyaas bujhegi us ki
kis tarah us kaa nashaa tootegaa
jiski kismat mein (2) yeh paimaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

neechi nazaron mein hai kitnaa jaadu
ho gaye pal mein kayi khwaab jawaan
kabhi uthane kabhi jhukne ki adaa
le chali jaane kidhar jaane kahaan
raaste pyaar ke (2) anjaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

Zaraa Si Aahat Hoti Hai

This one I can tell is Yaman Kalyan as it reminds me of aansoo bhari hai and so many others including aaye ho meri zindagi mein.

Just watched the video of this song for the first time today and enjoyed it so much. Priya Rajvansh looks so very beautiful; even more pretty than she looked in Heer Ranjha.

To say anything about Lata-Madan Mohan combo isn't enough so I'll just refrain from saying anything at all. Hope you enjoy the song as much as I do.

ps. It's one of those that I enjoy humming often like nain so nain. :)


zara si aahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

zara si aahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

chhupke seene mein aa aa aa...
chhupke seene mein koi jaise sadaa deta hai
shaam se pehle diya dil ka jalaa deta hai
hai usi ki yeh sadaa
hai usi ki yeh adaa
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

shakl phirti hai haa aa aa...
shakl phirti nigaahon mein wohi pyaari si
meri nas nas mein machalne lagi chingaari si
chhu gayi jism mera
kis ke daaman ki hawaa
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

zara si aahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)
