Chalo dildaar chalo...

Paayal ki chham chham, clap sounds and the haunting echo in their aalaap after second stanza, that's what I love about this one. And visually, absolutely love the waterfalls, floating boat in the moonlight, the moon playing hide and seek with clouds... and the way he holds her. :)

What marvelous lyrics.. and ever since I listened to this one on morning masti (Thursdays and Fridays they've been playing some of the greatest hits, golden oldies, of HFM) this morning and then on a repeat mode later in the evening, I have a hard time picking a favorite from this film: mausam hai aashiqaana or this one?


M: (chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo) (2)

aao kho jaaye sitaaron mein kahin (2)
chhod de aaj yeh duniya yeh zameen
duniya yeh zameen
M: chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo

hum nashe mein hai sambhaalo hume tum (2)
neend aati hai jagaa lo hume tum
jagaa lo hume tum
M: chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo

M: ho ho ho... ho ho ho... ho ho ho ho
F: ho ho ho ho ho... ho ho ho ho...

zindagi khatm bhi ho jaaye agar (2)
na kabhi khatm ho ulfat ka safar
ulfat ka safar
M: (chalo dildaar chalo chaand ke paar chalo
F: hum hai taiyaar chalo) (3)

Teer-e-nazar Dekhenge

After listening to "chalte chalte" on Neha's blog, I felt like listening to more of Pakeezah songs.

I really like this one for the dance, the lyrics, the music (specially tabla) and of course, for the last stanza of the song starting off totally differently than the other ones. Not to forget the two classy actors. Veena, too, looks so charming.


[awesome tabla play here and the sound of ghunghroo is beautiful!]

(aaj hum apni duaao ka asar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge) (2)

ho aap to aankh milaate hue sharmaate hai (2)
aap to dil ke dhadakne se bhi dar jaate hai
phir bhi yeh zid hai ke hum zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge

teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge (2)

ho pyaar karna dil-e-betaab bura hota hai (2)
sunte aaye hai ke yeh khwaab bura hota hai
aaj is khwaab ki taabeer magar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar dekhenge

teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge (2)

jaan leva hai mohabbat ka samaa aaj ki raat
shamma ho jaayegi jal jal ke dhuaan aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat bachenge to saher dekhenge
aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat bachenge to saher dekhenge

teer-e-nazar dekhenge zakhm-e-jigar dekhenge (2)
aaj hum apni duaao ka asar dekhenge
teer-e-nazar...
