Sharm aati hai magar...

One of my favorite songs of Saira Banu. Of course, it's not only her who makes it so but all other artists that make this one what it is, a gem that is. Absolutely love the music and lyrics of this one along with the singer! It's fun to watch it as well.

Today happens to be Saira Banu's birthday as well so wishing her lots of happiness, health and all that is beautiful just as she is. :) As I've said in the past too, this woman knows how to wear white sarees the best! I love that about her.


sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga (2)
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar

aap se rooth ke hum jitnaa jiye khaak jiye (2)
kayi ilzaam liye aur kayi ilzaam diye
aaj ke baad magar kuchh bhi na kehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga

(absolutely love the music here)

der ke baad yeh samjhe hai mohabbat kyaa hai
ab hume chaand ke jhoomar ki zuroorat kyaa hai
pyaar se badhke bhalaa kaun sa gehna hoga (what beautiful eyes she has got in this part of the clip)
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga

aap ke pyaar ka beemaar hamaara dil hai (2)
aap ke gham ka khareedaar hamaara dil hai
aap ko apna koyi dard na sehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehna hoga

sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai hm hm hm...

Video clip from film (see from 3:15 min)


Audio with all three stanzas (some other singer):

Saccha hai gar pyaar meraa sanam

It has been years since I watched this film. I remember falling in love with the music and songs of this film and had made an audio from the video as I didn't have them on a tape (audio cassette). I also remember listening to it on repeat numerous times and Mohd Rafi's "O Priya!" of "kaun hai jo sapnon mein aaya" was the most hummed melody for me. In all that, I had completely forgotten about this romantic number.

So when I rediscovered this one, I had to remind myself of it and I wished for it to be longer than two stanzas and thanks to youtube, I actually found the enhanced audio version only to find one additional stanza and I am one happy camper!!

Shailendra sahab's beautiful words and Shankar Jaikishan's out of this world music only make it sweeter.


sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
yeh dhadkane bhi agar jaaye tham
jab bhi pukaaro sadaa denge hum

yeh ajab saa raaz hai yeh ajeeb baat hai (2)
apnaa pyaar tab se hai jab se kaaynaat hai
priya! priya!
mar ke bhi yeh pyaar hoga na kam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
hoye hoye..
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

jhoomne lagi fizaa geet gaa uthaa gagan (2)
aur hawaao ne kahaa phir kahin pe hai milan
priya! ey! priya!!
milenge do dil kahin yeh kasam?
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

kyon na saat aasmaan aaye apni raah mein (2)
saaya ban ke saath hoon main tumhaari chaah mein
badh ke rukenge ab na yeh kadam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

Enhanced audio with 3 stanzas:

Husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai

I think Saira Banu wears white saarees the best! Specially when she pairs them with those dangliing earrings and those boat-neck blouses with 3/4 sleeves. What a gorgeous way to wear a saaree.

And to top all this, Rafi sahab's voice praising her beauty. Joy Mukherjee also looks so handsome in red shirt.

I adore the music of this one along with the lyrics, which only makes me wish for the song was longer than just two stanzas. It's injustice to us listeners.


(husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai) (2)

[notice how many instruments play here!! it's amazing..]

haaye inn pyaar mein doobi hui aankhon ki kasam (2)
aadmi kyaa hai farishton ke bahek jaaye kadam (2)
bin peeye mujhpe nashaa chhaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai
husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai

muskuraaye jo tere lab to bahaaren aayi (2)
khil gaye phool badi deri jahaan par chhaayi (2)
toone gulshan meraa mehkaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai
husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai

Kehna Hai Kehna Hai

Today, we were listening to some of these songs and I asked Papu about which is his favorite song of Kishore Kumar. This is the one he likes the most. I love the lyrics, the music and of course the voice. :)


kehna hai... kehna hai...

(kehna hai... kehna hai... aaj tum se yeh pehli baar
ho tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar pyaar) (2)

tum se kehne waali aur bhi hai pyaari baaten (2)
saamne sab ke bolo kaise keh doon saari baaten
aaj magar bas itna hi karna hai iqraar
tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar pyaar

kab se dil ne mere maan liya hai tum ko apna (2)
aankhen meri dekh rahi hai jaagte sote sapna
mere gale mein daal rahi ho tum baahon ka haar
tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar pyaar

tum se kehne waali aur bhi hai pyaari baaten (2)
saamne sab ke bolo kaise keh doon saari baaten
aaj magar bas itna hi karna hai iqraar
tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar pyaar

kehna hai... kehna hai... aaj tum se yeh pehli baar
ho tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar pyaar
tum hi to laayi ho jeevan mein mere pyaar pyaar...

Ehsaan Tera Hoga Mujh Par

Such a romantic song! My favorite from this film. Shammi Kapoor has such expressive eyes. I definitely prefer the male version of the song over the female version.


(एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर
दिल चाहता है वोह कहने दो
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत हो गयी है
मुझे पलकों की छाव में रेहने दो) (२)
एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर

तुमने मुझको हँसना सिखाया हो (२)
रोने कहोगे रो लेंगे अब (२)
आंसू का हमारे घम ना करो
वोह बेहते है तो बेहने दो
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत हो गयी है
मुझे पलकों की छाव में रेहने दो
एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर

चाहे बना दो चाहे मिटा दो हो ओ आ (२)
मर भी गए तो देंगे दुवाएं (२)
उड उड के कहेगी ख़ाक सनम
येह दर्द-ए-मोहब्बत सेहने दो
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत हो गयी है
मुझे पलकों की छाव में रेहने दो

एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर
दिल चाहता है वोह केहने दो
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत हो गयी है
मुझे पलकों की छाव में रेहने दो
एहसान तेरा होगा मुझ पर

Female version: (By Lata Mangeshkar)

Tum Ko Hamaari Umar Lag Jaaye

(tumhe aur kyaa doon main dil ke sivaay
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)) (2)

muraade ho puri sajhe har tamannaa
mohabbat ki duniyaa ke tum chaand ban naa
bahaaron ki manzil se hansnaa hasaanaa
khushi mein hamaari bhi aawaaz sun naa
kabhi zindagi mein koi gham naa aaye
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)

tumhe aur kyaa doon main dil ke sivaay
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)

mujhe to khushi hai tumhe kyaa bataau
bhalaa dil ki dhadkan ko kaise chhipaau
kahin ho naa jaau khushi se main paagal
tumhe dekh kar aur bhi muskuraau
khudaa dil-jalo ki nazar se bachaaye
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)

tumhe aur kyaa doon main dil ke sivaay
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)

sitaaron se uncha ho rusva tumhara
bano tum har ek zindagi ka sahara
tumhe jis se ulfat ho mil jaaye tum ko
samajh lo hamari dua ka ishaara
muqaddar tumhara sadaa jagmagaaye
tum ko hamari umar lag jaaye (2)

tumhe aur kyaa doon main dil ke sivaay
tum ko hamaari umar lag jaaye (2)

Aayi Milan Ki Bela

So I just watched 'Aayi Milan Ki Bela' last night after having wanted to watch the movie for more than 8 years. The nearby Indian movie rental places didn't carry it so I had to have Nipun send it to me with mom during her trip to India last August. For one year, I didn't get a chance to watch the movie, so finally last night I decided to watch it.

Aayi Milan Ki Bela is one of those romantic triangles story of Indian cinema where romance, social life and a whole bunch of lovely songs come together. Movie is worth watching once definitely, if not for the oh-so-charming Rajendra Kumar, or gorgeous Saira Banu, at least for the wonderful romantic songs that it has - Shankar-Jaikishan's music and lyrics of Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri make you want to keep humming these songs. All of them are worth watching, and listening... Papu says that back in 1964, when the movie came out, when Saira Banu was singing "tum ko hamari umar lag jaaye" on screen, audience used to throw money at the screen. And indeed, Lata has sung the song so beautifully, and Saira Banu looks like a million-dollar lady in that song. I never thought a white saari can look such beautiful until I saw her in that song. Simply fabulous! Not to mention Rajendra Kumar looks sooooooooooo handsome!! Dharmendra plays a wee-bit negative role of an angry young man.

Other songs of the movie:

- Ayee Milan Ki Bela (Asha Bhosle, Mohd Rafi)
- Bura Maan Gaye (Mohd Rafi)
- Main Kamsin Hoon (Lata Mangeshkar)
- Main Pyar Ka Deewana (Mohd Rafi)
- O Sanam Tere Ho Gaye Hum (Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi)
- Tum Kamsin Ho (Mohd Rafi)
