Maana ho tum behad haseen

If I were to pick my top favorite songs of Yesudas, this one would surely be in top five. I like it so much. Listening to phir chhidi raat with D reminded me of this one for some reason along with tu jo mere sur mein. This one has gotten stuck in my head since.

What a beautiful offbeat sort of song... KJ Yesudas has sung is so beautifully. And that makes me realize I don't have any of my favorite KJY songs posted on here so got to share more of those. Until then, enjoy this number by KJY, Bappida and Kaifi Azmi. Shekhar Kapur looks completely different and Shabana her gorgeous self in this superhot outfit.


(maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin) (2)
dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin

khultaa? nahin kuchh dilrubaa
tum hum se khush ho yaa ho khafaa
tirchhi nazar teekhi adaa
lagte ho kyon bezaar se
dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin

tum do kadam do saath agar
aasaan ho jaaye safar
chhodo bhi yeh duniyaa ka dar
todo na dil inkaar se
(dekho kabhi to pyaar se
darte ho kyon iqraar se
maana ho tum behad haseen
aise boore hum bhi nahin) (2)

Jingle Bells... Aao Tumhe Chaand Pe Le Jaaye...

Merry Xmas everyone! Found just a perfect song... it's really a sweet one.


LM: (jingle bells jingle bells
jingle all the way
santa claus is coming along
riding on a sleigh)
la la la...
la la la...
la la la la la...

Girl: yeh santa claus ka ghar kahan hai
AP: chand pe
Girl: hume bhi wahan le chaliye na
AP: achha?

LM: (aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye
pyaar bhare sapne sajhaaye
chhota sa bangla banaaye
ek nayi duniya basaaye
ho ho) (2)
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye

pyaar ki hai duniya door aasmaan pe
mil ke na bichhade koi wahaan pe
aisi bhi ek dagar hai
aisa bhi ek nagar hai (here I am reminded of ek pyaar ka naghma hai)
ho ho ho
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye
pyaar bhare sapne sajhaaye
chhota sa bangla banaaye
ek nayi duniya basaaye
ho ho
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye

gham jahaan soye aur khushi jaage
aaj ki hai manzil taaron se aage
dil wahaan rote nahin hai
aansoo to hote nahin hai
ho ho ho
aao tumhe chaand pe le jaaye
pyaar bhare sapne sajhaaye
chhota sa bangla banaaye
ek nayi duniya basaaye

Chanda Dekhe Chanda...

Just got to listen to this song for the first time yesterday. What a beauty! Fell in love with it instantly. It reminded me of tere mere milan ki yeh raina of Abhimaan and at other times took me back to piya tose naina laage re of Guide.

It's sung by the same two singers, probably that's why the similarities and the music is, of course, by none other than the copy king so it's possible he actually got "inspired" by the SBD music. ;)

In any case, the song is lovely nevertheless and so if you can get your hands on VCD/DVD of Jhoothi, check it out, if you haven't already. I adore Raj Babbar in this one and Amol Palekar looks handsome and cute both as always. :) Supriya Pathak her skinny and pretty self along with beautiful ladies Rekha and Prema Narayan and funny Deven just make the song more fun to watch. :D The atmosphere/picturization is so cool, everyone in *chillin* mode and smiling. Wish I was there...


M: chandaa dekhe chandaa
to woh chandaa sharmaaye
chandaa dekhe chandaa
gori gori chaandni mein
gori jab muskaaye

F: jiyaa bole piyaa
to yeh jiyaa sharmaaye
jiyaa bole piyaa
gori gori chaandni mein
piyaa jab muskaaye
jiyaa bole piyaa

M: (chaand se maathe pe bindiya jhilmilaaye aise
chaand sooraj raat mein ek saath chamke aise) (2)
ji kare yeh umar yoon hi dekhte kat jaaye
F: jiyaa bole piyaa
to yeh jiyaa sharmaaye
jiyaa bole piyaa

(here it some how reminds me of "tere mere milan ki yeh raina" of Abhimaan)

F: (nain ban jaate hai ghunghat man dulhan ki aashaa
baanchate hai jab nayan tere nayan ki bhaashaa) (2)
nain mein chhup kar mere mujhko tu mujhse churaaye
M: chandaa dekhe chandaa
to woh chandaa sharmaaye
chandaa dekhe chandaa

F: aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa

M: (preet ke rang mein rangaa hai teraa udtaa aanchal
F: maine baandhaa hai isi mein ek deewaanaa paagal) (2)
M: aanchal ki chhaayaa mein yeh paagal jiye mar jaaye
F: jiyaa bole piyaa
to yeh jiyaa sharmaaye
gori gori chaandni mein
piyaa jab muskaaye

M: chandaa dekhe chandaa
to woh chandaa sharmaaye
gori gori chaandni mein
gori jab muskaaye

F: jiyaa bole piyaa

M: chandaa dekhe chandaa
