Har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe...

Growing up next to Sben in Vallabh Vidyanagar was the best because I got to listen to a ton of Lata Mangeshkar solos on radio and tape player non-stop. She being a huge fan of the haunting melodies of LM, I got to hear this one along with many other favorites...


(har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe) (2)
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe

yeh andhere mujhe ho ho ho ho ho
yeh andhere mujhe is liye hai pasand
in mein saaya bhi apna dikhaayi na de (2)
roshni ho wahaan (3) tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe

chaand dhoondhla sahi ho ho ho ho ho
chaand dhoondhla sahi gham nahin hai mujhe
teri raaton pe raaton ka saaya na ho (2)
chaandni ho wahaan (3) tu jahaan bhi rahe
zindagi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe
har khushi ho wahaan tu jahaan bhi rahe

Deewaane Hai Deewaanon Ko

It's amazing to be able to analyze the lyrics and music of favorite songs, and if you can do that on a daily basis, it's even more fun... that's how we remembered this one today. The lyrics are so beautiful and fun to hum along with the song and sweet voices of Lataji and Rafi sahab just add to the charm.

When I first watched this film almost a decade ago, it was amazing to discover that the actor is none other than the lyricist himself. Now we don't get to see that often in HFM, do we?


M: aap ke dil mein jo thodi si jagaah mil jaaye
apne armaanon ki betaab kali khil jaaye

M: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye
F: jawaani mein jawaani ke sahaare ho jawaan mere meherbaan
mujhe tu hi tu humsafar chaahiye humsafar chaahiye
Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye

M: hai sar pe humaare khulaa aasmaan khulaa aasmaan (2)
F: hamaare liye hai yehi aashiyaan yehi aashiyaan
M: bina pyaar ke zindagi kuchh nahin (2)
jahaan pyaar hai har khushi hai wahin
F: ho phoolon bhari chaahe chaahe kaanton bhari haan kaanton bhari
chale jis pe tu woh dagar chaahiye dagar chaahiye

Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye

M: nigaahon mein aise ishaare hue ishaare hue (2)
F: ke dil ne kahaa hum tumhaare hue tumhaare hue
M: nazar ban gayi hai zubaan pyaar mein (2)
mazaa aa gayaa jeet kaa haar mein
F: milega wohi maangoge jo dildaar se magar pyaar se
duwaaon mein apni asar chaahiye asar chaahiye

Both: deewaane hai deewaano ko na ghar chaahiye na dar chaahiye
mohabbat bhari ek nazar chaahiye nazar chaahiye
jawaani mein jawaani ke sahaare ho jawaan mere meherbaan
mujhe tu hi tu humsafar chaahiye humsafar chaahiye
