Mujhe neend na aaye.. mujhe chain na aaye...

One of those evergreen songs from the era when the actors and actresses were skinny and eyebrows were thicker and wearing big yellow plastic earrings was fashionable and music was nice and you can hear the tabla and flute and the cameras still stayed on actors' faces and there were no 1000+ dancers dancing behind the two of them. This one is no different and that's why it has special place in heart. The lyrics stuck and for good reason. This afternoon out of no where I started humming this one and I just had to listen to it and post it on here so that I can listen to it again on a repeat mode. :)

Golden songs of golden days! Love!


Ch: aa aa...aa aa

F: (haalat kya hai kaise tujhe bataau main
karvat badal badal ke raat bitaau main) (2)
M: (poochho zara poochho kya haal hai

koyi samajh na paaye
kya rog sataaye
koyi jaaye zaraa dhoondh ke laaye

F: na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)

Ch: aa aa aa...
aa aa aa aa aa

M: (jaan se bhi pyaara mujhko mera dil hai
uss ke bina ek pal bhi jeena mushkil hai) (2)
F: tauba meri tauba kya dard hai
dard badaa bedard hai) (2)
kabhi mujhko hasaaye kabhi mujhko rulaaye

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

Thehriye hosh mein aa loon...

I don't know the definition of romance but I'd say it'd be something that this one describes, or makes one feel. The music gives me goosebumps. What is the instrument that plays tick-tocking sound in between the stanzas.. I wonder It sounds like how those little pieces of flat stones/tiles that the boys selling water on trains would use to make noise or the beggers who used them to play music while they sang on trains.

She walking home with sabzi in basket... and him hopping around and being playful chasing her. Notice how he touches her shoulder while singing "door ki chaahat" and then later her nose after "apni taqdeer banaa loon" and she smiling away with shyness with her long tresses covering her face... waah!

OMG! What sweet voice Suman Kalyanpur has. And Rafi sahab's voice so full of mischief and so unique to match Shashi Kapoor's voice. All of these things with the lyrics make it one of my favorite romantic melodies.

And this also adds one more entry to the boat songs collection! :)


M: thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

M: kab talak rahiyegaa yoon door ki chaahat ban ke (2)
dil mein aa jaaiye iqraar-e-mohabbat ban ke
apni taqdeer banaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

F: mujhko iqraar-e-mohabbat se hayaa aati hai (2)
baat kehte hue gardan meri jhuk jaati hai
dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: uh huh
F: dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: haaye... aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

aisi kya sharm zaraa paas to aane bhi de (2)
rukh se bikhari hui zulfen to hataane bhi de
pyaas aankhon ki bhuja loon to chale jaaiyegaa
thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
hm hm hm... la la la...
Both: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

Boat Songs

I've been fascinated by these ones too; sometimes they're on shikara, and at other times cruise ship, or just a regular little boat or even a house boat or just floating in the water on some object, but they are all picturized on some sort of boat. So here goes... the boat songs of HFM.
