Aap ki aankhon mein kuchh...

What a gorgeous song! Almost everything except for that smoking and him blowing dhua in her face *disgusting* but I'll overlook that for a bit. What a fun song otherwise. Absolutely love the singers, lyrics and music and both actors. I do have to admit that the lyrics take the cake here, for me at least.

How handsome does Vinod Mehra look. No wonder Rekha fell in love with him. Anyone would. And she too looks absolutely lovely and so simple in the most simple saaris.


M: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai (2)
aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

(love the music that plays here)

lab hile to mogare ke phool khilte hai kahin (2)
aap ki aankhon mein kya saahil bhi milte hai kahin
aap ki khaamoshiyaan bhi aap ki aawaaz hai

F: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

aap ki baaton mein phir koyi sharaat to nahin (2)
bewajaah taareef karna aap ki aadat to nahin
hehehe
aap ki badmaashiyon ke yeh naye andaaz hai

M: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
F: ho aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

Huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye...

Bhupinder Singh's signature ghazals are the best to listen to when you want to relax from a tiring day. They take you to this state of mind where all you can do is just listen to them and smile. This is one of my favorites of him along with Suresh Wadkar. What beautiful singers both of them are. But what adds sone pe suhaga here is Gulzar's lyrics and RDB music.... and it turns into pure enjoyment...


BS: aa aa aa aa aa.. aa aa aa..
SW: aa aa... aa aa aa aa...
BS: huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye (2)
khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye

huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye
khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye

huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye...

koyi manchalaa gar pakad legaa aanchal
aa aa aa koyi manchalaa gar pakad legaa aanchal
zaraa sochiye aap kyaa keejiyegaa
SW: lagaa de agar badhke zulfon mein kaliyaan (2)
to kyaa apni zulfen jhatak deejiyegaa
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye
khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye

aa aa aa.. aa aa aa...
badi dil nashi hai haseen ki yeh ladiyaan (2)
yeh moti magar yoon na bikharaaya keeje
BS: udaa ke na le jaaye jhokhaa hawaa ka (2)
lachakta badan yoon na lehraaya keeje
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye
SW: khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye

bahot khubsoorat hai har baat lekin (2)
agar dil bhi hotaa to kyaa baat hoti
BS: likhi jaati phir daastaan-e-mohabbat (2)
ek afsaane jaisi mulaaqaat hoti
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye
SW: khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye
BS: huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye
SW:khule aam aanchal na lehraa ke chaliye
huzoor is kadar bhi na itaraa ke chaliye

Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na

I completely adore all the songs of this movie. All of them are fantastic and I think that's because it's RDB's work. Of course, with due credits to the singers but it's not often that the entire soundtrack turns out this good. This is one of those rare films where each and every song is simply fantastic! The film is alerady on the to-be-watched list... hopefully... some day. :)

Vinod Mehra is entirely handsome and Rekha so good looking... it's even fun to watch them. The beautifully penned lyrics by Gulzar ji once again convey messages of hearts that are felt more often, rarely described so precisely.


F: tere bina jiya jaaye na (4)
bin tere tere bin saajna
saans mein saans aaye na
ho ho ho ho

tere bina jiya jaaye na (2)
bin tere tere bin saajna
saans mein saans aaye na
ho ho ho ho

tere bina jiya jaaye na

(jab bhi khayaalon mein tu aaye
mere badan se khushbu aaye) (2)
mehke badan mein rahaa na jaaye
rahaa jaaye na
tere bina jiya jaaye na (2)
bin tere tere bin saajna
saans mein saans aaye na
tere bina jiya jaaye na (2)

(reshmi raaten roz na hongi
yeh saugaaten roz na hongi) (2)
zindigi tujh bin raas na aaye
raas aaye na

M: tere bina jiya jaaye na (2)
bin tere tere bin saajna
saans mein saans aaye na
ho ho ho ho
tere bina jiya jaaye na

Aaja Maahiya...

Anu Malik does it again!! I love this man's music. It's just to crazy and so much fun. One of my favorite songs of Hrithik Roshan. No director can ever go wrong with this singer pair. It just works with these two in it... Udit and Alka. I think probably the most hit pair of current times. And it's a fun number to watch as well.


M: sohe maahi re
maahi maahi re
maahi maahi re maahi maahi re (2)

Ch: aaja maahi mere (3) aa
aaja maahi mere (3) aa

M: aa dhoop maloon main tere haathon mein
aa sajda karoon main tere haathon mein
ho subah ki mahendi chhalak rahi hai
aaja
aaja maahiya (2) aaja
aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya

Ch: aaja maahi mere (3) aa
F: aaja maahi mere (3) aa

aahista pukaaro sab sun lenge
bas labon se chhoo lo lab sun lenge
ho aankh bhi kal se phadak rahi hai
aaja
aaja maahiya (2) aaja
aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya

M: (ek noor se aankhen chaunk gayi
dekha jo tujhe aaine mein) (2)
Ch: aaja maahiya (2)
F: koyi noor kiran hogi woh bhi
jo chubhne lagi hai seene mein
Ch: aaja maahiya (2)

M: aa dhoop maloon main tere haathon mein
aa sajda karoon main tere haathon mein
ho subah ki mahendi chhalak rahi hai aaja

aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya
F: aaja
aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya
M: maahi maahi re (3)

F: (laal ho jab yeh shaam kinaara
odha dena sar pe saara) (2)
Ch: aaja maahiya (2)
M: chal rok le suraj chhup jaayega
paani mein gir ke bujh jaayega
Ch: aaja maahiya (2)
F: aahista pukaaro sab sun lenge
bas labon se chhoo lo lab sun lenge
haan aankh bhi kal se phadak rahi hai
aaja
aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya
M: aaja maahiya ho aaja maahiya

Tum Pukaar Lo Tumhaara Intezaar Hai

One of my favorite haunting melodies of Hemant Kumar. What awesome lyrics and the depth the music and his voice give to song are out of this world! I'm not a huge fan of Hemantda but if I have to pick and choose favorites, this would surely be one of them.


hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm

tum pukaar lo
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo
khwaab chun rahi hai raat beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(honth pe liye hue dil ki baat hum
jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum) (2)
muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(dil bahel to jaayega is khayaal se
haal mil gaya tumhaara apne haal se) (2)
raat yeh qaraar ki beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai

beete hue mausam ki koyi nishaani hogi
dard puraanaa koyi yaad puraani hogi (2)
koyi to daastaan hogi naa
roz roz daali daali kyaa likh jaaye
bhanwaraa baanwaraa baanwaraa

hogaa koyi waadaa hogaa waadaa nibhaataa hogaa
aa aa aa
hogaa koyi waadaa hogaa waadaa nibhaataa hogaa
shaakhon pe likh kar yaad dilaataa hogaa (2)
yaad to aati hi hogi naa
roz roz daali daali
roz roz daali daali kyaa likh jaaye
bhanwaraa baanwaraa baanwaraa

Mere Anganaa Aaye Re...

One of my favorite movies and favorite songs of this movie. Ashaji has sung it so beautifully!


mere anganaa aaye re
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re (2)
maine saare hosh ganvaaye (2)
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re

(beautiful flute)

laaj ke maare simati jaau
aanchal hi se lipati jaau
aa aa aa
laaj ke maare simati jaau
aanchal hi se lipati jaau
meraa aanchal ud ud jaaye (2)
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re
maine saare hosh ganvaaye (2)
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re

ho sudh budh khoyi man ghabraaye
ek rang aaye ek rang jaaye

sudh budh khoyi man ghabraaye
ek rang aaye ek rang jaaye
man bairi bol sunaaye (2)
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re
maine saare hosh ganvaaye (2)
mere anganaa aaye re ghanshyaam aaye re

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...

Aanewala Pal Jaanewala Hai

So Zahida asked today: What Song is an Inspiration To You?
Is there any particular song that gives you a positive feeling when U are feeling down?? Please share your favourite songs that really inspires you in life.

And the only one I could think of was this one. This is one song I never get tired of listening or watching...
Kishore Kumar's voice sweet as honey and Gulzar sahab's lyrics with RDB music! That's a totally deadly combo. And the song is a treat to watch because of Hrishida's direction.


hummmm aha ha ha hey hey hey...

aanewala pal jaanewala hai (2)
ho sake to iss mein zindagi bitaa do
pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho

aanewala pal jaanewala hai
ho sake to iss mein zindagi bitaa do
pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho

ek baar yoon mili maasoom si kali(2)
ho khilte hue kahaan pushpaash mein chali
dekhaa to yahin hai dhoondhaa to nahin hai
pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho
aanewala pal jaanewala hai
ho sake to iss mein zindagi bitaa do
pal jo yeh jaanewala hai

ek baar waqt se lamhaa giraa kahin (2)
wahaan dastaan mili lamhaa kahin nahin
thodaa sa hansaa ke thodaa sa rulaa ke
pal yeh bhi jaanewala hai ho ho
aanewala pal jaanewala hai
ho sake to iss mein zindagi bitaa do
pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho
aanewala pal jaanewala hai (2)

Part II:

Tere Bina Zindagi...

There are a very few songs that actually touch you and make you think... about life. Here is one like that. This song has so many levels... the lyrics, music, situation, Sanjeev Kumar's voice and the emotions his words convey, the feelings that one feels listening to Suchitra Sen's voice, the unanswered questions, the unquestioned answers... everything about it touches your heart.


Her: बरसों बाद मैं घूमने निकली हूँ। ऐसा लगता है की वो किसी और सदी की बात थी।

Him: हम्... शायद उन दिनों की बात होगी जब ये इमारते अभी उजड़ी नही थी।

Her: हम्? पिछले किसी जनम की बात ही तो लगती है...

Him: एक काम करे, जब तक तुम यहाँ हो, रोज़ घर पे खाने के लिए तो आया ही करोगी, खाने के बाद घूमने निकल आया करेंगे। कम से कम ये इमारत कुछ दिनों के लिए तो बस जायेगी...
तुम्हारी शाल कहाँ है?

Her: हम्? हाँ हाँ भूल गई... उम उम ना ना...

Him: तुम नहीं बदलोगी... लो...

तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं,
शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी भी लेकिन जिन्दगी तो नहीं
जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नही
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से शिकवा तो नहीं

(काश ऐसा हो तेरे क़दमों से चुन के मंज़िल चले
और कहीँ दूर कहीँ) (२)
तुम ग़र साथ हो मंजिलों कि कमी तो नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं
शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं

Him: "सुनो आरती, यह जो फूलों कि बेले नज़र आती है ना, दरअसल यह बेले नहीं, अरबी में आयेती लिखी है, इससे दिन के वक़्त देखना चाहिऐ. बिल्कुल साफ नज़र आती है. दिन के वक़्त यह सारा पानी से भरा रहता है. दिन के वक़्त जब यह फुआरे..."

Her: "कहॉ अब आऊंगी मैं दिन में"

Him: "यह जो चांद है ना, इससे रात में देखना, यह दिन में नहीं निकलता"

Her: "यह तो रोज़ निकलता होगा"

Him: "हाँ लेकिन बीच में अमावस आ जाती है. वैसे तो अमावस पन्द्रेह दिन को होती है लेकिन इस बार बहुत लंबी रही..."

Her: "नौ बरस लम्बी थी ना?"

...song continues with...

(जीं में आता है तेरे दामन में सर छुपाके हम
रोते रहे, रोते रहे) (२)
तेरी भी आंखों में आंसुओ की नमी तो नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं
शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी भी लेकिन जिन्दगी तो नहीं
जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नहीं

(तुम जो केह्दो तो आज की रात चांद दुबेगा नहीं
रात को रोक लो) (२)
रात कि बात है और जिन्दगी बाक़ी तो नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं
शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी भी लेकिन जिन्दगी तो नहीं
जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नहीं, जिन्दगी नहीं
तेरे बिना जिन्दगी से शिकवा तो नहीं
