Mukhde pe tere... chal thamke zaraa...

The music mislead me to believe that it was a Shammi Kapoor song. How wrong I was... and after watching it, I feel it should've really been a Shammi Kapoor song. Oh well! I am just going to feel happy for it is a Rafi song.

It is one awesome awesome song.. with really cool lyrics. Listening to these lyrics by Prem Dhavan. First time I'm hearing this name. Wonder whether he's related to other Dhavan's of our film industry.

This three-stanza song reminds me of another Rafi song of Dharam paaji yehi hai tamanna.

I think the actress looks better than the actor. ;) And this marks a new entry to the car songs!!


mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(har jalwaa tera hai qaatil
har ek adaa dil loote) (2)
hai chaal mein teji jaise
ek teer kamaan se chhute
jab chalti ho tum (2)
kehte hai sabhi hat jaao qayaamat aati hai [this line makes me laugh!]
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(naagan ki tarah balkhaati [hehehe... check out his dancing here ;)]
daalo na idhar tum phere) (2)
hai aas lagaaye baithe
hum jaise to laakh sapere
kitnaa bhi zaher (2)
naagin mein rahe jab been baje phas jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(dil cheez hai khone waali
is ko itnaa na sambhaalo) (2)
aankhon mein basaa loongaa main
yeh dil jo mujhe de daalo
naadaan ho tum (2)
naadaanon se har cheez kahin kho jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

Yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan...

I adore the accordian playing in this one. If you think the picturization could have been better, you're not the only one, but I'm a sucker for the good music, good singers and awesome poetry any day so don't mind sitting through watching such cold acting of these actors.


M: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
F: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

M: zaraa si zulf khol do fizaa mein itra ghol do (2)
nazar jo baat keh chuki woh baat munh se bol do
ki jhoom uthe nigaah mein bahaar kaa samaa
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

(lovely music plays here)

F: yeh chup bhi ek sawaal hai ajeeb dil kaa haal hai (2)
har ek khayaal kho gayaa bas ab yehi khayaal hai
ki faaslaa na kuchh rahe hamaare darmiyaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan

M: yeh roop rang yeh paban chamakte chaand saa badan (2)
buraa na maano tum agar to choom loon kiran kiran
ki aaj hausalon mein hai balaa ki garmiyaan
Both: yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
aise mein kyon na chhed de dilon ki daastaan
yeh parbaton ke daaire yeh shaam kaa dhuaan
hm hm hm hm hm...

Chali chali re patang meri chali re...

Today, while listening to Morning Masti, I got to listen to this song for the first time! And it truly made my day... such an upbeat song and the voices of two of my favorite singers. Then after I watched the video in the evening, I fell in love with it. It has Jagdeep and Nanda. Jagdeep looks so handsome and Nanda like a doll. Loved her hair-do with ribbons. Reminded me of my school days when we had to make our hair like that.

Fantastic music by Chitragupt and Rajinder Krishan's lyrics make it what it is, a hit song!

Happy Kiteflying Day!


M: chali chali re patang meri chali re (2)
chali baadalon ke paar ho ke dor pe sawaar
saari duniya yeh dekh dekh jali re
chali chali re patang meri chali re

M: yoon mast hawa mein lehraaye
jaise udan khatola uda jaaye
F: ho yoon mast hawa mein lehraaye
jaise udan khatola uda jaaye
le ke man mein umang jaise koyi dulhan
chali jaaye re sanwariya ki gali re

chali chali re patang meri chali re (2)
Both: chali baadalon ke paar ho ke dor pe sawaar
saari duniya ye dekh dekh jali re
chali chali re patang meri chali re

F: aa aa aa.. (4)
M: oh ho ho (2)

F: rang meri patang ka dhaani
hai yeh neele gagan ki raani
M :ho ho rang meri patang ka dhaani
hai yeh neel gagan ki raani
baanki baanki hai uthaan hai umar bhi jawaan
laage patli kamar badi bhali re

chali chali re patang meri chali re (2)
Both: chali baadalon ke paar ho ke dor pe sawaar
saari duniya ye dekh dekh jali re
chali chali re patang meri chali re

M: aa..aa..ha ha (4)
F: oh ho..ho..(2)

chhoona mat dekh akeli hai saath mein dor saheli (2)
M: hai ye bijli ki taar badi tez hai kataar
degi kaat ke rakh dil-jali re

Both: chali chali re patang meri chali re (2)
chali baadalon ke paar ho ke dor pe sawaar
saari duniya ye dekh dekh jali re
chali chali re patang meri chali re

Kaun Pari Neel Gagan Ki...

I think only Rafi sahab can sing this song. If anyone else attempted it, they'd fail with a guarantee. Music of Chitragupta is beautiful and very cute lyrics by Prahlad Sharma. :)

If you find the audio/video of this song online, please do share. Thanks.


kaun pari neel gagan ki chali aayi re paayaliyaa chhankaaye (2)
dekh jise saanwari ghataa lehraayi re rimjhim ras barsaaye

lavang lataa si komal kaaya nainaa do kajraare (2)
hoth kamal ki paankhudiyon se gaal arun ras naare
khil khil kaliyon si muskaati man bhanwaraa lalchaaye haaye
kaun pari neel gagan ki chali aayi re paayaliyaa chhankaaye

rooth ke mat jaa o mrig-nayani yug yug ke hum saathi (2)
jal na sakegaa deep akelaa ban jaa tu meri baati
pyaar kare hum dono aisa swarg yehi bas jaaye haaye
kaun pari neel gagan ki chali aayi re paayaliyaa chhankaaye (2)
