Khilte Hai Gul Yahaan

Been listening to this since a few weeks actually, for of course no one else but Shashi Kapoor and actually I like Kishore Kumar's singing too and while I was at it I realized even the Lata version is beautiful, but for now we only talk about this one because it has Shashi Kapoor.

Notice SK at/in the following scenes: the humming at the beginning of the song, the way he removes the flower from her hair, the way he smiles and blinks his dreamy eyes while doing so, those mile-wide lips, yet again the smile, how his face glows in the light of fire, the way he serves the tea (as if it were cups full of love aah! pure heaven) *drool* the eyelashes and the smile and *DROOL* I need a bib; oh did I mention the smile? yup, that is to die for.

the way he turns his hand at 1:34

at 1:43 fat girl with blue jacket is so blinded by him she starts drinking tea with both hands, but then again, who wouldn't!? :P

watch him from 2:08 to 2:23

then again from 2:39 to 2:45

and at 2:54 (damn!)

and boy! from 3:05 to 4:05 for like whole minute the camera doesn't move away from HIS face (sheer bliss). Awwwww my knees have melted and disappeared somewhere by now.




Once you come back to reality, here are the lyrics:

hm hm hm hm

khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko (2)
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(kal rahe naa rahe mausam yeh pyaar kaa
kal ruke naa ruke dolaa bahaar kaa) (2)
chaar pal mile jo aaj pyaar mein guzaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho aa

(jheelon ke hothon par meghon kaa raag hai
phoolon ke seene mein thandi thandi aag hai) (2)
dil ke aaine mein yen tu samaa utaar le
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(pyaasaa hai dil sanam pyaasi yeh raat hai
hothon mein dabi dabi koi meethi baat hai) (2)
in lamho pe aaj tu har khushi nisaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

F:
aa aa aa aa aa aa ho ho ho ho

khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(kal rahe naa rahe mausam yeh pyaar kaa
kal ruke naa ruke dolaa bahaar kaa) (2)
chaar pal mile jo aaj pyaar mein guzaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho aa

ho jheelon ke hothon par
jheelon ke hothon par meghon kaa raag hai
phoolon ke seene mein thandi thandi aag hai
dil ke aaine mein yen tu samaa utaar le
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

(pyaasaa hai dil sanam pyaasi yeh raat hai
hothon mein dabi dabi koi meethi baat hai) (2)
in lamho pe aaj tu har khushi nisaar de
khilte hai gul yahaan khil ke bikharne ko
milte hai dil yahaan mil ke bichhadne ko
khilte hai gul yahaan

Likhe Jo Khat Tujhe

When it comes to Mohd. Rafi songs, I just can't get enough. And if it is a Shashi Kapoor song, then it just doesn't get any better. This one of my favorite songs. What a romantic song!


(likhe jo khat tujhe woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke nazaare ban gaye) (2)

saveraa jab huaa to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to sitaare ban gaye
likhe jo khat tujhe

koi naghmaa kahin goonjaa kahaa dil ne yeh tu aayi
kahin chatki kali koi main yeh samjhaa tu sharmaayi
koi khushboo kahin bikhari lagaa yeh zulf lehraayi
likhe jo khat tujhe woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke nazaare ban gaye
saveraa jab huaa to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to sitaare ban gaye
likhe jo khat tujhe

fizaa rangeen adaa rangeen yeh ithalaanaa yeh sharmaanaa
yeh angdaayi yeh tanhaayi yeh tarsaa kar chale jaanaa
banaa degaa nahin kis ko jawaan jaadoo yeh deewaanaa
likhe jo khat tujhe woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke nazaare ban gaye
saveraa jab huaa to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to sitaare ban gaye
likhe jo khat tujhe

jahaan tu hai wahaan main hoon mere dil ki tu dhadkan hai
musaafir main tu manzil hai main pyaasaa hoon tu saawan hai
meri duniyaa yeh nazaren hai meri jannat yeh daaman hai
likhe jo khat tujhe woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke nazaare ban gaye
saveraa jab huaa to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to sitaare ban gaye
likhe jo khat tujhe

Better quality audio

Woh Hum Naa The

I adore this one. Rafi has done great justice to Neeraj's pensive words. The shehnayi plays so beautifully in background adding to the melancholy of the entire song. It gives you goosebumps. Too bad MusicIndiaOnline doesn't have audio of this track for us.

woh hum naa the woh tum naa the (2)
woh reh-guzar thi pyaar ki
looti jahaan pe bevajah paalaki bahaar ki
paalaki bahaar ki
woh hum naa the woh tum naa the

yeh khel thaa naseeb kaa (2)
naa hans sake naa ro sake
naa door tak pahuch sake
naa daar par hi soke
kahaani kisse yeh kahe (2)
chadhaao ki utaar ki
looti jahaan pe bevajah paalaki bahaar ki
paalaki bahaar ki
woh hum naa the woh tum naa the

tumhi the mere rehnawaa
tumhi the mere humsafar
tumhi the meri roshni
tumhi ne mujh ko di nazar
di nazar
binaa tumhaare zindagi (2)
shamaa hai ek mazaar ki
looti jahaan pe bevajah paalaki bahaar ki
paalaki bahaar ki
woh hum naa the woh tum naa the

yeh kaun saa mukaam hai (2)
palak nahin zameen nahin
ke shab nahi sehr nahin
ke gham nahi khushi nahin
kahaan ye leke aa gayi (2)
hawaa tere dayaar ki
looti jahaan pe bevajah paalaki bahaar ki
paalaki bahaar ki
woh hum naa the woh tum naa the

guzar rahi hai tum pe kyaa
banaa ke hum ko darbadar
yeh soch kar udaas hoon
yeh soch kar hai chashm kar
chashm kar
naa chot hai yeh phool ki (2)
naa hai khalish yeh khaar ki
looti jahaan pe bevajah paalaki bahaar ki
paalaki bahar ki (3)
