Karvate badalte rahe..

One of my most favorite duet songs of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. It gives me goosebumps listening to the music. What mesmerizing music! I think it's tabla and sitar and flute doing it. I also hear shehnayi somewhere in between. Could be totally off there.

And Kaka and Mummu have acted so well. Couldn't have been more perfect than it is picturized. Wish I get a chance to watch the movie some day. I don't remember watching the whole thing in one go. I think Door Darshan played it in early 90s on a weekend.

aap ki kasam (2)

F: yaad tum aate rahe ek hook si uthati rahi
neend mujhse neend se main bhaagti chhupti rahi
raat bhar bairan nigodi chandni chubhati rahi
aag si jalti rahi girti rahi shabnam
aap ki kasam (2)

M: jheel si aankhon mein aashiq doob ke kho jaayega
zulf ke saaye mein dil armaan bharaa so jaayega
tum chale jaao nahin to kuchh na kuchh ho jaayega
dagmagaa jaayenge aise haal mein kadam
aap ki kasam (2)

F: rooth jaaye hum to tum hum ko manaa lenaa sanam
M: door ho to paas hum ko tum bulaa lenaa sanam
F: kuchh geela ho to gale hum ko lagaa lenaa sanam
Both: toot na jaaye kabhi yeh pyaar ki kasam
F: aap ki kasam (2)

Maine.. tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune...

Rajesh Khanna. I think the name and I see this person who is loved by all. Or at least that's how I want to see him. It's been three days since he's gone but he lives in his songs, in his films, in his fans, in the people who loved him. For me, he'd always be this hero who stole my heart without me knowing about it. He didn't even do anything but just look. That's who he is. Been thinking about him and listening to his songs and this is the one that summarizes him. Kaka, you've been a legend and will always be remembered so fondly. May you continue to create magic with your eyes wherever you are. God bless you.

maine
tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(chhoti baatein
chhoti chhoti baaton ki hai yaaden badi
bhule nahin beeti hui ek chhodi ghadi) (2)
janam janam se aankhen bichaayi
tere liye in raahon mein
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(bhole bhaale
bhole bhaale dil ko behlaate rahe
tanhaayi mein tere khayaalon ko sajaate rahe) (2)
khabi kabhi to aawaaz de kar
mujhko jagaaye khwaabon ne
ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

(roothi raate
roothi hui raaton ko manaaya kabhi
tere liye bheegi subah ko bulaaya kabhi) (2)
tere bina bhi tere liye hi
diye jalaaye raahon mein

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne
kuchh haste kuchh gham ke
teri aankhon ke saaye churaaye
rasili yaadon ne

ho maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
sapne surile sapne

Film song with two stanzas:


Mukesh's song with stanza "bhole bhaale":

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

Akele Hai Chale Aao

I just realized that this song is written by Shamim Jaipuri. Never heard his name until today... wow! what fabulous poetry he writes. Rafi sahab's singing makes you feel the emotions in this one. And well acted by Rajesh Khanna. He looks so handsome! Now I can believe that there were girls that actually committed suicide after hearing about his marriage (to Dimple Kapadia). Now I will be watching Raaz again just for this song.


M: akele hai chale aao jahaan ho (2)
kahaan aawaaz de tum ko kahaan ho
akele hai chale aao jahaan ho

tumhe hum dhoondhte hai hume dil dhoondhta hai (2)
na ab manzil hai koi na koi raasta hai
akele hai chale aao jahaan ho
kahaan aawaaz de tum ko kahaan ho
akele hai

(love the orchestra playing here)

yeh tanhaayi ka aalam aur is par aap ka gham (2)
na jeete hai na marte bataao kya kare hum
akele hai chale aao jahaan ho
kahaan aawaaz de tum ko kahaan ho
akele hai

F: chale aao (3)

Kya Jaanoo Sajan

When you think haunting melodies the only name that comes to mind is Lata Mangeshkar. No one can even come close. It's like only she can sing those songs and no one else. This one became my favorite the instance I heard it, back in 2002. It appears so that they included this same song in Kavita Krishnamurthy's voice in a movie called Dil Vil Pyar Vyar (2002) and so when I heard it in her voice, I searched for it and eventually found out the original is by none other than our very own Lataji.

The original picturization is quite nice too, which I found out only a couple of months back. :)

I think here the combination of all three of these - singer's voice, the lyrics and the music make the song haunting, and not just the music.


आ आ हम हम हम हम

क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे सौ दिये जब लिया तेरा नाम
क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे... आ
सौ दिये... आ
जब लिया तेरा नाम, क्या जानू सजन

काँटों में मैं खड़ी नैनों के द्वार पे
निस दिन बहार के देखूं सपने
काँटों में मैं खड़ी... आ
नैनों के द्वार पे... हो हो
निस दिन बहार के... आ
देखूं सपने
चेहरे की धूल क्या चंदा की चांदनी
उतरी तो रेह गई मुख पे अपने
क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे सौ दिये जब लिया तेरा नाम
क्या जानू सजन

जब से मिली नज़र माथे पे बंध गई
बिंदिया नयन तेरे देखो सजना
जब से मिली नज़र... आ आ आ
माथे पे बाँध गई... हो हो
बिंदिया नयन तेरे... आ
देखो सजना
धर ली जो प्यार से मेरी कलाइयां
पिया तेरी उंगलियाँ हो गई कंगना
क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे सौ दिये जब लिया तेरा नाम
क्या जानो सजन
जल उठे सौ दिये जब लिया तेरा नाम
क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे... आ
सौ दिये... आ आ
जब लिया तेरा नाम... आ आ
क्या जानू सजन होती है क्या घम की शाम
जल उठे... आ
सौ दिये... आ आ
जब लिया तेरा नाम... आ आ
क्या जानू सजन
