Apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye...

This song is practically never on youtube. I have been searching for it since months, probably years... so today while searching for it yet again, when I found it, I got so excited and decided to share it.

The first time I had watched this was probably on rangoli or chitrahaar or may be it was on ATN and ever since then I fell in love with it. I have to admit, it was all because of the lyrics and ever so young Sanjeev Kumar and his smile. Today, listening to it again while watching, just makes me fall in love with it once again. Manna Dey's voice is beautiful and I adore the music. It is of Usha Khanna. I wish I knew the names of the other people in there. Until then... enjoy this gem.


khudgaraz duniya mein yeh insaan ki pehchaan hai
jo paraayi aag mein jal jaaye woh insaan hai

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

naakaamiyon se ghabra ke kyon apni aas khote ho (2)
main humsafar tumhaara hoon kyon tum udaas hote ho
hanste raho hasaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

apni khudi ko jo samjha usne khuda ko pehchaana (2)
aazaad fitrate insaan andaaz kyon bhulaa maana
sir yeh nahin jhukaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

baazaar se zamaane ke kuchh bhi naa hum kharidenge (2)
haan bech kar khushi apni logon ke gham kharidenge
bujhte diye jalaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

himmat buland hai apni patthar si jaan rakhte hai (2)
kadmon tale zameen to kya hum aasmaan rakhte hai
girte huo ko uthaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

chal aaftaab le kar chal chal maahtaab le kar chal (2)
tu apni ek thokar mein sau inqalaab le kar chal
zulm-o-sitam mitaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)

The actual song starts at 2:18 in the clip.

Mere liye to bas wohi... tum saamne baithi raho...

Finally, got to listen to this out-of-this-world melody today. I had only read about it earlier. It used to be one of the personal favorite songs of Begam Bilkis Banu - Mrs. Mohd. Rafi. And what a beautiful song it is!! Tabla is the jaan of it and the other musical instruments just compliment Rafi sahab's honey sweet voice. It's such a divine voice!

Now if only I get to listen to "tum aao room-jhoom karti" as well....


mere liye to bas wohi
pal hai haseen bahaar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

main jaantaa hoon pyaar ki
pooja yahaan apraadh hai
apraadh yeh har pal karoon
mann mein yehi ek saad hai (2)
mujhko mili hai yeh khushi
jeevan ki baazi haar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

seekhaa nahin maine kabhi
saiyam se mann ko baandhnaa
hai saadhnaa meri tumhaare
roop ki aaraadhnaa (2)
tum saath do to tod doon
saare niyam sansaar ke
tum saamne baithi raho
main geet gaau pyaar ke (2)

Kahin To Milegi Mohabbat Ki Manzil...

Not to be mistaking it for the Lata solo from Aarti that starts with almost same words "kahin to milegi". This one's from the '95 movie called Milan. Song is sung by Abhijit. I have developed lack of respect for this guy for all that he said about Bappi Lahiri last year but when I listen to this song, I sort of want to just overlook that kind of silly actions of his. In any case, song is wonderful one. I don't know who has written the lyrics but they're also quite beautiful. If you haven't heard it before, check out the video. It's not the film video but the audio is still quite good. Enjoy!


(kahin to milegi mohabbat ki manzil
yeh dil ka musafir chalaa jaa rahaa hai) (2)
nazar mein sajhi hai khayaalon ki mehfil
ummeedon kaa suraj dhalaa jaa rahaa hai

(jal ke bujhe zindagi ki shamaa
kho jaaye din kyaa pataa kab kahaan) (2)
hai yeh kaisi dagar hai yeh kaisa safar
na kisi ko pataa na kisi ko khabar
hai toofan mein kashti badi door sahil
yeh dil ka musafir chalaa jaa rahaa hai

(pal naa ruke ek pal ke liye
jeeta rahe pyaar kal ke liye) (2)
kare koyi sitam mile koyi sazaa
dil bhoole nahin kabhi pehli wafaa
jo haare na himmat kare sab woh haansil
yeh dil ka musafir chalaa jaa rahaa hai

kahin to milegi mohabbat ki manzil
yeh dil ka musafir chalaa jaa rahaa hai

aa aa aaa..

Do din to kya... tere bagair...

Yet another one of those silly cute romantic numbers with awesome music! It is songs like these that make me appreciate Anu Malik's music. Singers are so-so but song lyrics and music make up for it.

Notice cute but funny sunglasses hair-pin in Urmila's hair! :P
