Itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha

The first time I had heard this song was in a school play when I was in 4th standard back in the 80s. I remember the tunes making a spot in my mind and heart and I fell in love with it. It was years later that I realized the music actually originated from Mozart's Symphony No. 40. I still call it inspired by the symphony and not copied from it for my own reasons. ;) Coming back to our song, I think it's very beautifully written and only this music could do justice to it. Absolutely love the words penned by Rajinder Krishan sahab and music of Salil Chaudhary is wonderful. Not to forget the amazing singers for making it what it is!! An amazing song.. I'm glad Talat sahab sung this one and not any other male singers. They wouldn't have been able to do justice to it as well as Talat sahab, I think. Sunil Dutt looks ever so handsome and Asha Parekh so young and beautiful. Who wouldn't fall in love with these gorgeous people? Anyone would!


M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
kaise kisi ka sahaara banu
ke khud beghar bechara

F: is liye tujhse main pyaar karoon
ke tu ek baadal aawaara
janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
F: janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

M: (mujhe ek jagaah aaraam nahin
ruk jaana mera kaam nahin) (2)
mera saath kahaan tak dogi tum
main dez bides ka banjaara

itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
kaise kisi ka sahaara banu
ke khud beghar bechara

F: is liye tujhse main pyaar karoon
ke tu ek baadal aawaara
janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

(o neel gagan ke deewaane
tu pyaar na mera pehchaane) (2)
main tab tak saath chaloon tere
ab tak na kahe tu main haara

is liye tujhse main pyaar karoon
ke tu ek baadal aawaara
janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
kaise kisi ka sahaara banu
ke khud beghar bechara

(kyon pyaar mein tu naadaan bane
ek paagal ka armaan bane) (2)
F: ab laut ke jaana mushkil hai
maine chhoD diya hai jag saara

M: itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
ke main ek baadal aawaara
F: janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhaara

(naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le) (2)
naino mein badra chhaaye

madira mein doobi ankhiyaan
chanchal hai dono sakhiyaan
madira mein doobi *major goosebumpy music*
madira mein doobi ankhiyaan

chhalti rahengi tohe
palkon ki pyaari batiyaan

Zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi...

This gem has only been discovered today. It reminds me of so many songs, such as chhod de saari duniya, ek tu na mila, and even a Gujarati garbo koi rajparaa jai ne, and may be even more that I can't recall right now.

What fun it is to discover that it is a piano song! but a sad one at that. I still like it quite a lot. Parveen Babi and Sunil Dutt look great. KA music and Indeevar lyrics make it only better than what Rafi sahab makes it.

I can't believe this is only the first Parveen Babi song on this blog. :O Gotta post more!!!


tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
(zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin) (2)

tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin

teri chaahat na jab tak milegi (2)
rooh meri bhatakti rahegi
haal meraa agar woh sunenge
mujhpe deewaane bhi ro padenge (2)
haal sun ke meraa phir bhi teri
aankh royi nahin
tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin

phir se dekhaa tujhe hum ne jis dum (2)
mar chale the magar jee uthe hum
berukhi se hume toone maaraa
tu hai kaisaa maseehaa humaaraa (2)
jab lagaani na thi paar naiyaa
kyon dubooyi nahin
tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin

phir bhi khoyi nahin) (2)

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):

Yeh Waadiyaan Yeh Fizaayen...

At first, when I was listening to the song, I thought it must have been picturized on Shashi Kapoor. Or at least that's what it sounded like. But when I watched it, I was completely blown away by seeing Sunil Dutt! Nice to see him paired with young and beautiful Nanda.

Our hero is more than 6 ft tall and heroine is less than even 5 ft so this is how they choose to show them to hide the height difference. Quite interesting, as one doesn't even notice all that until you start paying attention.

I find this as sweet as a lullaby/lori and it just makes me want to keep listening to it. Thanks to Rafi sahab, Sahir ji and music maestro Ravi.


yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

taras rahe hai jawaan phool hoth chhoone ko (2)
machal machal ke hawaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

tumhaari zulfon se khushboo ki bheekh lene ko (2)
jhuki jhuki si ghataayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (pay attention to how he sings the word khaamoshiyon)
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

haseen champayi pairon ko jab se dekhaa hai haaye
haseen champayi pairon ko jab se dekhaa hai
nadi ki mast adaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

(reminds me of this Hariharan song that goes like "raat mehke to yoon hi hota hai")

mera kahaa na suno inn ki baat to sun lo (2)
har ek dil ki duaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)

Tum Mujhe Bhool Bhi Jaao....

Discovered this beauty while I was listening to some other song on youtube. Shubha Khote and Sunil Dutt make such a cute couple. Absolutely love the lyrics of the song along with fantastic music. Got to listen to Sudha Malhotra's work for the first time, I think. She's got quite a lovely voice. Will have to listen to more of her songs now.


F: tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

mere dil ki mere jazbaat ki keemat kyaa hai
uljhe uljhe se khayaalaat ki keemat kyaa hai
maine kyon pyaar kiyaa tumne na kyon pyaar kiya
in pareshaan sawaalaat ki keemat kyaa hai
tum jo yeh bhi na .... to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

M: zindagi sirf mohabbat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
zulf rukhsaar ki jannat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
bhookh aur pyaas ki maari hui is duniya mein
ishq hi ek haqeeqat nahin kuchh aur bhi hai
tum agar aankh churaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
main tum se hi nahin sab se mohabbat kee hai
tum agar aankh churaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

F: tum ko duniya ke gham-o-dard se fursat na sahi
sab se ulfat sahi mujhse hi mohabbat na sahi
main tumhaari hoon yehi mere liya kya kam hai
tum mere ho ke raho yeh meri kismat na sahi
aur bhi dil ko jalaao to yeh haq hai tum ko
meri baat aur hai maine to mohabbat kee hai
tum mujhe bhool bhi jaao to yeh haq hai tum ko

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)

santa claus is coming along

Girl: yeh santa claus ka ghar kahan hai
AP: chand pe
Girl: hume bhi wahan le chaliye na
AP: achha?

LM: (aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye
pyaar bhare sapne sajhaaye
chhota sa bangla banaaye
ek nayi duniya basaaye
ho ho) (2)
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye

pyaar ki hai duniya door aasmaan pe
mil ke na bichhade koi wahaan pe
aisi bhi ek dagar hai
aisa bhi ek nagar hai (here I am reminded of ek pyaar ka naghma hai)
ho ho ho
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye
pyaar bhare sapne sajhaaye
chhota sa bangla banaaye
ek nayi duniya basaaye
ho ho
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye

gham jahaan soye aur khushi jaage
aaj ki hai manzil taaron se aage
dil wahaan rote nahin hai
aansoo to hote nahin hai

aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye

Tumhi Mere Mandir Tumhi Meri Pooja

What a lovely song! As they say the husband is the world for his wife regardless of how and what he is, or should I say for the ideal couple. ;) Lataji got filmfare award for playback singing for this song in 1965. This I found out while I was searching for what raag this song is based on. Why not? It's just so beautiful song and no one would have been able to do justice to this music and lyrics.

And there couldn't have been a better song for it is Karva Chauth today! Enjoy.

ps. Just watched the song and oh my goodness! what a beautiful couple... Nutan looks such pretty in the pink saari and those quarter sleeved and shoulder/back covering blouses too can make someone look this fantastic in the world of skimpy clothes. And Sunil Dutt, even as a handicapped husband looks so very handsome.


(tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)) (2)
koyi meri aankhon se dekhe to samjhe
ke tum mere kyaa ho (2)
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)

(jidhar dekhati hoon udhar tum hi tum ho
na jaane magar kin khayaalon mein gum ho) (2)
mujhe dekh kar tum zaraa muskuraa do
nahin to main samajhoongi mujh se khafaa ho
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)

(tum hi mere maathe ki bindiyaa ki jhil-mil
tum hi mere haathon ke gajaron ki manzil) (2)
main hoon ek chhotisi maati ki gudiyaa
tum hi praan mere tum hi aatmaa ho
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa

Aye Mere Dost Aye Mere Humdum

A song for today's the friendship day. This is the most emotional friendship song I've heard.

mujhe jab apni guzari zindagaani yaad aati hai
to bas ek meherbaan ki meherbaani yaad aati hai

(aye mere dost aye mere humdum
mere mohsin mere karam farma
woh mera gham tha ya khushi meri
har jagah toone mera saath diya) (2)
aye mere dost aye mere humdum

kaun tha tu kahan se aaya tha
aaj tak maine yeh nahin jaana
tu meri rooh tha magar maine
tere jaane ke baad pehchana
aye mere dost aye mere humdum
mere mohsin mere karam farma
woh mera gham tha ya khushi meri
har jagah toone mera saath diya
aye mere dost aye mere humdum

tu sudama bhi hai kanhaiya bhi
kanhaiya kanhaiya
tu sudama bhi hai kanhaiya bhi
tu bhikaari bhi aur daataa bhi
tere sau rang hai mere pyaare
tu hi pyaasa hai tu hi jharnaa bhi
aye mere dost aye mere humdum
mere mohsin mere karam farma
woh mera gham tha ya khushi meri
har jagah toone mera saath diya
aye mere dost aye mere humdum

tu meri bebasi ke aalam mein
jab kabhi mujh ko yaad aata hai
soch kar meherbaaniyaan teri
dil mera baith baith jaata hai
aakhari arz meri tujhse hai
har khataa meri dar guzar karna
woh ghadi aa rahi hai jab mujhko
is zamaane se hai safar karna
aye mere dost aye mere humdum (5)

Tu Jahaan Jahaan Chalegaa...

Weekend cleaning spree involved cleaning my old DVDs and while doing that I came across one with old Sa Re Ga Ma Classic episodes and listened to this one yet again by a singer named Suhasini. (It's funny, the girls back then dressed so decent in saaris; and blouses with collars and three-quarter length sleeves, looks so nice and not distracting at all). I couldn't get enough of the song from that small clip, so I had to listen to the actual one. It's too bad the video doesn't include the last two stanza that my audio version has.


tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa (2)
meraa saayaa (4)

kabhi mujh ko yaad kar ke jo bahenge tere aansoo (2)
to wahin pe rok lenge unhe aa ke mere aansoo
tu jidhar kaa rukh karegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

tu agar udaas hogaa to udaas hoongi main bhi (2)
nazar aau yaa naa aau tere paas hoongi main bhi
tu kahin bhi jaa rahegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

main agar bichhad bhi jaau kabhi meraa gham naa karanaa (2)
meraa pyaar yaad kar ke kabhi aankh nam na karanaa
tu jo mood ke dekh legaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

mere gham rahaa hai shaamil tere dukh mein tere gham mein (2)
mere pyaar ne diyaa hai teraa saath har janam mein
tu koi janam bhi legaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (6)

Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se..

I'm getting hooked to these piano songs.

Classy song, classy music and classy actors - what else can one ask for?!

In the old days this used to be the style - the piano songs. They don't do that too much now. There are two benefits of having a piano song in a film.

First, the director didn't have to get our heroes to dance. For example, like Rajesh Khanna who apparently has two left feet. Don't believe me? Watch this video.

Secondly, the director would directly bypass the challenge of hiding our heroine's height, which, back in those days, was usually less than half the height of our heroes. Well almost! It's just fantastic how they do it. I mean Sunil Dutt is close to some six and a half feet tall and Mala Sinha not even close to five, and to show them on one screen standing next to each other as lovers is just not a piece of cake. So the piano songs come in quite handy. And we as audience who loves quality songs gets to actually look at the faces instead of the workout videos.

Just one glance at those faces of Ashok Kumar, Mala Sinha and Sunil Dutt and it just makes me want to keep looking at them over and over again.


चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाए हम दोनों (२)
(wow! what awesome piano plays here) Ravi's music rocks!

न मैं तुम से कोई उम्मीद राखु दील नवाजी की
न तुम मेरी तरफ़ देखो ग़लत अंदाज़ नज़रों से
न मेरे दील की धड़कन लड़खडाये मेरी बातों में
न ज़ाहिर हो तुम्हारी कशमकश का राज़ नज़रों से

चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाए हम दोनों (२)
(notice the background music here while he sings, it's totally goosebumpy!)

तुम्हे भी कोई उलझन रोकती है पेश कदमी से
मुझे भी लोग कहते है की ये जलवे पराये है
मेरे हमराह भी रुसवाइयां है मेरे माजी की (२)
तुम्हारे साथ भी गुज़री हुई रातों के साए है
चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाए हम दोनों (२)

तारुफ़ रोग हो जाए तो उस को भूलना बेहतर
ताल्लुक बोझ बन जाए तो उस को तोड़ना अच्छा
वो अफसाना जिसे अंजाम तक लाना न हो मुमकिन (२)
उसे एक ख़ूबसूरत मोड़ देकर छोड़ना अच्छा
चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाए हम दोनों (२)
चलो एक बार...

Aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe...

Probably one of the first Talat songs that I fell in love with...

And am so happy to discover the third stanza of the song today which is the middle one! This video on youtube includes all three stanzas. What a super song!


aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe aankh se tumne giraa diyaa
moti kisi ke pyaar kaa mitti mein kyon milaa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe

jo naa chaman mein khil sakaa mein woh gareeb phool hoon (2)
jo kuchh bhi hoon bahaar ki chhoti si ek bhool hoon
jisne khilaa ke khud mujhe khud hi mujhe bhulaa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe aankh se tumne giraa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe

naghmaa hoon kab magar mujhe apne pe koi naaz thaa (2)
gaayaa gayaa hoon jis pe mein tootaa huaa woh saaz thaa
jis ne soonaa woh hans diyaa hans ke mujhe rulaa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe aankh se tumne giraa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe

meri khataa muaaf hai bhoole se aa gayaa yahaan (2)
varnaa mujhe bhi hai khabar meraa nahin hai yeh jahaan
doob chalaa thaa neend mein achhaa kiyaa jagaa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe aankh se tumne giraa diyaa
moti kisi ke pyaar kaa mitti mein kyon milaa diyaa
aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe

~~~~~*~~~~~

आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे आँख से तुमने गीरा दीया
मोती किसी के प्यार का मिट्टी में क्यों मिला दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे

जो ना चमन में खिल सका में वोह गरीब फूल हूँ (२)
जो कुछ भी हूँ बहार की छोटी सी एक भूल हूँ
जिसने खिला के खुद मुझे खुद ही मुझे भुला दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे आँख से तुमने गीरा दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे

नग्मा हूँ कब मगर मुझे अपने पे कोई नाज़ था (२)
गाया गया हूँ जिस पे में टूटा हुआ वोह साज़ था
जिस ने सूना वोह हंस दीया, हंस के मुझे रुला दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे आँख से तुमने गीरा दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे

मेरी खता मुआफ है भूले से आ गया यहाँ (२)
वरना मुझे भी है खबर मेरा नहीं है येह जहाँ
डूब चला था नींद में अच्छा किया जगा दीया
आंसू समझ के क्यों मुझे आँख से तुमने गीरा दीया
मोती किसी के प्यार का मिट्टी में क्यों मिला दीया

Aap Ke Pehloo Mein Aa Kar

If you ever want to listen to or see the man of the film going down on his knees crying, you have picked the right song. And while listening and watching the song all you can do is either cry with him or feel each and every single hair on your body stand up and feel his pain. I think the voice and violins are doing that!! What an eternal song...


(आप के पेह्लू में आ कर रो दिए
दास्तान-ए-घम सुना कर रो दिए) (२)

ज़िंदगी ने कर दिया जब भी उदास
आ गए घबरा के हम मंज़िल के पास
सर झुकाया सर झुका कर रो दिए
आप के पेह्लू में आ कर रो दिए

शाम जब आंसू बहाती आ गयी (२)
हर तरफ घम की उदासी छा गयी
दिप यादों के जला कर रो दिए
आप के पेह्लू में आ कर रो दिए

घम जुदाई का सहा जाता नहीं
आप के बिन अब रहा जाता नहीं
प्यार में क्या क्या गवा कर रो दिए
दास्तान-ए-घम सुना कर रो दिए
आप के पेह्लू में आ कर रो दिए
