Phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

For some reason this one reminds me of zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi. I think it's the singer, slow music and similar instruments playing in the background that cause this effect.

Absolutely love the way Rafi sahab sings the word "mulaqaat" in this one. Funnily enough, the song came up on youtube as I was listening to "wada na tod" of Lataji and I got to listen to it for the first time. So glad I clicked on it. :) Sharmila looks so gorgeous.


M: phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo (2)
(hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

[love the music here, wondering what other instruments play here other than sitar and violin]

(dil ki har baat adhoori hai adhoori hai abhi
apni ek aur mulaqaat zaroori hai abhi) (2)
chand lamhon ke liye saath ka wada kar lo
hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

F: aap kyon dil ka haaseen raaz mujhe dete hai
kyon nayaa naghmaa nayaa saaz mujhe dete hai
main to hoon doobi hui pyaar ke toofaanon mein
aap saahil se hi aawaaz mujhe dete hai
kal bhi honge yehi jazbaat yeh wada kar lo

M: (hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

Meraa pyaar woh hai...

The collection on my ipod finally got replenished with new songs. Not literally new, but new for me. This is one of those gems that I'm totally hooked to since this evening. Wow! what a marvelous and romantic song.. it's been a while since I listened to one of these. It reminds me of tumhara chahnewala khuda ki duniya mein, may be because it's by the same singer and same musician and same lyricist and picturized on the same actor? whoa.. it's like they tried to recreate magic and it worked. It's the other way around actually. This one came first and then the song from Kahin Din Kahin Raat.

Audiowise both songs are super romantic and make me want to listen to them over and over again, but I do prefer watching b/w clip with the dimpled, very young, and extremely expressive Sharmila in it (I think I will forgive her for not wearing her signature blouse with a knot in the back ;)) than some random actress. Moreover, I am partial to the filming that takes you on a tour of facial features of actors.

Mahendra Kapoor is wonderful in this one and now I have one more song of his to add to my favorites collection. Can't praise the music enough and lyrics as always are absolutely crazy, but likable or so I find. :)


(meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa) (2)
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(what out of this world music plays here!)

zamaana to karvat badalta rahegaa
naye zindagi ke taraane banenge
mitegi na lekin mohabbat hamaari
mitaane ke sau sau bahaane banenge
haqeeqat hameshaa haqeeqat rahegi
kabhi bhi na is kaa fasaana banegaa
meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(absolutely love the flute playing here)

tumhe chheen le meri baahon se koyi
meraa pyaar yoon besahaara nahin hai
tumhaara badan chaandani aa ke chhu le
mere dil ko yeh bhi ganwaara nahin hai
koyi bhi agar tum se aa ke mile to
tumhaari kasam hai meraa dil jalegaa

meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

Dil mein kisi ke pyaar ka...

The goodness of 70s is going to prevail around here for a while. We've got the 70s week coming up!

I had only overheard this song until today... and when I listened to it, I realized what a wonderful song it was. Too bad they only have single stanza for Kishore Kumar's version, but it's delicious nevertheless! Both songs are beautiful... but one gives a philosophical romantic mood while the other playful romantic.

Leena C. looks gorgeous in a white maxi dress (how did they go out of style again?) in the female version of the song and Sharmila sensual in the male version of this rainy song. I wonder which one comes first in the story. In the male version, we also get a glimpse of a very handsome Ashok Kumar. It must feel so different to have close family members work with you... I was thinking that about Kishore Kumar singing, Leena Chandavarkar acting in the film along with Ashok Kumar...

Thanks to such marvelous singers, lovely work of music director and God knows how many more musicians along with the lyricist we get to enjoy double the goodness of this creation!


(dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa) (2)

saanson ki aanch paa ke bhadakta rahegaa yeh (2)
seene mein dil ke saath dhadakta rahegaa yeh
dhadakta rahegaa yeh
woh naqsh kyaa huaa jo mitaaye se mit gayaa
woh dard kyaa huaa jo dabaaye se dab gayaa
dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa

yeh zindagi bhi kyaa hai amaanat unhi ki hai (2)
yeh shaayari bhi kyaa hai inaayat unhi ki hai
inaayat unhi ki hai
ab woh karam kare ke sitam unkaa faislaa
hum ne to dil mein pyaar kaa sholaa jalaa liyaa
dil mein kisi ke pyaar kaa jaltaa hua diyaa
duniyaa ki aandhiyon se bhalaa yeh bujhegaa kyaa

Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu...

(aage bhi jaane na tu peechhe bhi jaane na tu
jo bhi hai bas yehi ek pal hai)(2)
aage bhi jaane na tu

anjaane saayo ka raahon mein dera hai
andekhi baahon ne hum sab ko chheda hai
yeh pal ujaala hai baaki andhera hai
yeh pal ganwaana na yeh pal hi tera hai
jeene waale soch le yehi waqt hai kar le poori aarzoo
aage bhi jaane na tu peechhe bhi jaane na tu
jo bhi hai bas yehi ek pal hai

is pal ke jalwo ne mehfil sanvaari hai
is pal ki garmi ne dhadkan ukhaadi hai
is pal ke hone se duniya hamaari hai
yeh pal jo dekho to sadiyon pe bhaari hai
jeene waale soch le yehi waqt hai kar le poori aarzoo
aage bhi jaane na tu peechhe bhi jaane na tu
jo bhi hai bas yehi ek pal hai
aage bhi jaane na tu

la la la... la la la la la...
la la la... la la la la la...
la la la... la la... la la la... la la la la la...

is pal ke saaye mein apna thikana hai
is pal ke aage ki har shay fasaana kai
kal kisne dekha hai kal kisne janaa hai
is pal se paayega jo tujko paanaa hai
jeene waale soch le yehi waqt hai kar le poori aarzoo
aage bhi jaane na tu peechhe bhi jaane na tu
jo bhi hai bas yehi ek pal hai
aage bhi jaane na tu

Dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi...

I think I am more partial towards the duet than the solo version by Bhupinder of this song. My favorite one among Gulzar's penned songs. I've never watched it on video but will do so today.


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

M: dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din (2)
baithe rahe tassavvur-e-jaana kiye hue
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: jhaado ki narm dhoop aur aangan mein leit kar (2)
aankhon pe kheech kar tere daaman ke saaye ko (2)
aandhe pade rahe kabhi karvat liye hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: ya garmiyon ki raat jo purvaaiyaan chale (2)
thandi safed chaadaron pe jaage der tak (2)
taaron ko dekhte rahe chhat par pade hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: barfeeli sardeeyon mein kissi bhi pahaad par (2)
waadi mein goonjhti hui khaamoshiyaan sune (2)
aankhon mein bheege bheege se lamhe liye hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
Both: dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
baithe rahe tassavvur-e-jaana kiye hue
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi


F: हो हो हो हो

M: दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन (२)
बैठे रहे तस्सवूर-ऐ-जाना किए हुए
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: झाडों की नर्म धुप और आँगन में लेट कर (२)
आंखों पे खींच कर तेरे दामन के साये को (२)
औंधे पड़े रहे कभी करवट लिए हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: या गर्मियों की रात जो पुर्वाइयां चले (२)
ठंडी सफ़ेद चादरों पे जागे देर तक (२)
तारों को देखते रहे छत पर पड़े हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: बर्फीली सर्दियों में किसी भी पहाड़ पर (२)
वादी में गूंजती हुई खामोशियाँ सुने (२)
आंखों में भीगे भीगे से लम्हे लिए हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
Both: दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
बैठे रहे तस्सवूर-ऐ-जाना किए हुए
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही...

Deewaanaa Huaa Baadal...

Recently, I was reading an article in India Currents about O.P. Nayyar and his interview "Never Say Goodbye" by Anuradha Choudhary that she took for January 2007 edition of Filmfare. Such a lucky person she has been to be able to get all this info about the music maestro from himself right before he left us all to be with God. I was quite surprised to read a lot of things about him in this interview like how strict, arrogant, and stubborn he was and at the same time a man with so much discipline and also the man who never had any classical training. I was stumped to know that last bit! Couldn't believe my eyes when I read the article. I had to reread the same sentence at least three times before I could decipher what it meant. All I could think of was his songs and then the personality that I saw as a judge in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa programs. I still remember in that one he was asked by a contestant about what to do when you as an artist are nervous while performing. I distinctly remember he said even when we are 60 years old, we get that same feeling. We as an artist have to learn how to deal with it. He added that it was not one of those feelings that went away with experience in this field. Now after reading the article I understand the depth of his answer. Wow! what a personality. I was saddened to know his family didn't keep relationship with him in last few years of his life but I guess I know why after reading him in this interview. His work is timeless and he himself says it so proudly. Indeed his work is unique and we will remember this legendary person for a long time. This track, one of my favorites, his work with Asha. Rafi's voice is icing on the cake!



MR: o ho ho... o ho ho.. aa haa haa...
hmm hmm hmm... hmm hmm hmm... aa haa haa...

(yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi
deewaanaa huaa baadal, saawan ki ghataa chhaayi (2)

aisi to meri taqdeer na thi tumsaa jo koyi mehboob mile
dil aaj khushi se paagal hai (2)
aye jaan-e-wafaa tum khoob mile (2)
dil kyon na bane paagal, kya gham ne adaa paayi
yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi
deewaanaa huaa baadal

AB: jab tum se nazar takraayi sanam
jazbaat ka ek toofaan uthaa
tinke ki tarah main beh nikli (2)
sailaab mere roke na rukaa (2)
jeevan mein machi hulchul aur baj ne lagi shehnaayi
yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi

MR: deewaanaa huaa baadal
hai aaj naye armaanon se aaabaad mere dil ki nagari
barso se khizaa ka mausam thaa (2)
veeraan badi duniyaa thi meri (2)
haathon mein teraa aanchal aaya ke bahaar aayi
yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi

AB: deewaanaa huaa baadal, saawan ki ghataa chhaayi
yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi

MR: deewaanaa huaa baadal, saawan ki ghataa chhaayi
yeh dekh ke dil jhoomaa, lee pyaar ne angaDaayi
deewaanaa huaa baadal
