Kasme waade pyaar wafaa..

Hearing the news about Pransahab's passing, I couldn't think of any better song than this to share. The naked truth and bitter reality of life. Mannada has sung is so beautifully. Especially the aalaap in the words that get repeated twice... so very emotional.

Thrilled for they awarded him with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2012. Rest in peace, dear Pransahab. Om Shanti.


kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya (2)
koyi kisi ka nahin yeh jhoothe naate hai naaton ka kya
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

hoga maseeha (2)
saamne tere phir bhi na tu bach paayega
tera apna (2)
khoon hi aakhir tujhko aag lagaayega
aasmaan ke (2)
udne wale mitti mein mil jaayega
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

sukh mein tere (2)
saath chalenge dukh mein sab mukh modenge
duniya wale (2)
tere ban kar tera hi dil todenge
dete hai (2)
bhagwaan ko dhokha insaan ko kya chhodenge
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya
koyi kisi ka nahin yeh jhoothe naate hai naaton ka kya

kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

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
(zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin) (2)

Savere Ka Suraj Tumhaare Liye Hai

There is something about this song that stumped me the first time I listened to it today. For some reason, it reminds me of similar to huzoor is kadar, but the high notes and music and lyrics make it a completely different number. The mood is completely different too, quite philosophical. Lyrics is what I love about this one the most along with Kishoreda's voice.

Papu also shared a bit of trivia that both the Mukherjee actors in this one are actually real life brothers. I was surprised to know that. Both look completely different and with totally different fates I should add. Joy being so famous in so many Hindi films where as I don't remember watching Deb in any thing until today. Or may be I didn't notice him because he wasn't that famous. The song is beautiful nevertheless.


savere ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai
yeh bujhate diye ko na tum yaad karnaa
hue ek beeti hui baat hum to (2)
koyi aansoo hum par na barbaad karnaa
savere ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai

tumhaare liye hum tumhaare diye hum
lagan ki agan mein abhi tak jale hai
hamaari kami tum ko mahasoos kyon ho (2)
tumhaari subah hum tumhe de chale hai
jo hardum tumhari khushi chaahte hai (2)
udaas ho ke un ko na naashaad karnaa
savere ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai

sabhi waqt ke aage jhukte rahe hai
kisi ke liye waqt ruktaa nahin hai
badi tez raftaah hai zindagi ki (2)
kisi ke liye koyi ruktaa nahin hai
chaman se jo ek phool bichhadaa to kyaa hai (2)
naye gul se gulshan ko aabaad karnaa
savere ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai

chiraag apni dharti ka bujhataa hai jab bhi (2)
sitaare to ambar ke hote nahin hai
koyi naav toofaan mein jab doobeti hai
kinaare to saagar ke hote nahin hai (2)
hai hum dolati naav doobe to kyaa hai (2)
kinaare ho tum tum naa fariyaad karnaa
savere ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai
tumhaare liye hai (5)

Chandan Sa Badan

I recently got a chance to play antakshari with 15 people and we all had an amazing time. The other team sang one of my favorite songs that I had forgotten. I like both the versions of this song equally for their singers, the raag Yaman and the music and of course lyrics. Also, it's a special song because it is the very first song that I learned how to play on a harmonium/keyboard. Youtube is a blessing now, I was able to find both of them on there and enjoyed watching them as well. Hope you'd like them too.

Male version:

hmm hmm hmm hmm...

(chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan
dheere se teraa yeh muskaanaa) (2)
mujhe dosh naa denaa jagwaalon (2)
ho jaau agar main deewaanaa
chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan

(yeh kaam kamaan bhanwe teri
palkon ke kinaare kajaraare) (2)
maathe par sindoori suraj
hothon pe dahekte angaare
saayaa bhi jo teraa pad jaaye (2)
aabaad ho dil kaa veeraanaa
chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan

(tan bhi sundar man bhi sundar
tu sundartaa ki moorat hai) (2)
kisi aur ko shaayad kam hogi
mujhe teri bahot zaroorat hai
pehle bhi bahot main tarsaa hoon (2)
tu aur na mujhko tarsaana

chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan
dheere se teraa yeh muskaanaa
mujhe dosh naa denaa jagwaalon (2)
ho jaau agar main deewaanaa
chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan

~~~~~*~~~~~

Female version:

(chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan
dheere se teraa yeh muskaanaa) (2)
mujhe dosh naa denaa jagwaalon (2)
ho jaaye agar dil deewaanaa
chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan

yeh vishaal nayan jaise neel gagan
panchhi ki tarah kho jaau main
sirahaanaa jo ho teri baahon kaa
angaaron pe so jaau main
meraa bairaagi man dol gayaa (2)
dekhi jo adaa teri mastaanaa
chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan

tan bhi sundar man bhi sundar
tu sundartaa ki moorat hai
kisi aur ko shaayad kam hogi
mujhe teri bahot zaroorat hai
pehle bhi bahot dil tarsaa hai (2)
tu aur na dil ko tarsaana

chandan saa badan chanchal chitavan
dheere se teraa yeh muskaanaa

Na Kajre Ki Dhaar

Another nice melody from the mid 90s. I think it sounds like some raag but I am not that great at recognizing one let alone figuring out the name. But I say that because yesterday a bhajan of Ramanand Sagar (from Ramayan) sounded so similar to this one.

My second favorite of this film after "tu cheez badi hai mast" song. I do wish the singers were better for this one; Sadhana Sargam sounds alright though. In any case, it's a fun song to listen to and watch.


M: (na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sundar ho
tum kitni sundar ho) (2)

F: man mein pyaar bhara
aur tan mein pyaar bhara
jeevan mein pyaar bhara
tum to mere priyavar ho
tumhi to mere priyavar ho

M: (singaar tera yauvan
yauvan hi tera gehna) (2)
tu taazgi phoolon ki
kya saadgi ka kehna
ude khushboo jab chale tu (2)
bole to baje sitaar
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sundar ho
tum kitni sundar ho

F: (saari duniya harjaayi
tere pyaar mein hai sacchaai) (2)
is liye chhodake duniya
teri aur kheenchi chali aayi
thi patthar toone chhu kar (2)
sona kar diya khara
man mein pyaar bhara
aur tan mein pyaar bhara
jeevan mein pyaar bhara
tum to mere priyavar ho
tumhi to mere priyavar ho

M: (tera ang saccha sona
muskaan sacche moti) (2)
tere honth hai madhushaala
tu roop ki hai jyoti
teri soorat jaise moorat (2)
main dekhoon baar baar
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sundar ho
tum kitni sundar ho

F: man mein pyaar bhara aur
tan mein pyaar bhara
jeevan mein pyaar bhara
tum to mere priyavar ho
tumhi to mere priyavar ho

O Humsafar Dil Ke Nagar

And once again Jatin-Lalit show their charm in this one. It's probably a flop movie but this romantic duet by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan is sweet. May be because the lyrics are by Neeraj the words have such magic. It's a feel good song, and upbeat music cheers you up! If you notice, you'd hear that hint of "pehla nasha pehla khumar..." music in between the stanzas.
