Yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan...

Flute in the beginning when the plane flies makes every single hair on my body stand up with excitement and happiness that can not be described! I haven't been able to pick and choose my most favorite song from Veer Zaara and that's because most of them are my favorite ones. This one being one of them. It's so utterly beautiful in music, lyrics, and everything else including picturization.


M: lehraati hui raahen khole hue hai baahen
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: palkon pe gehre halke hai reshmi dhundhalke
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: woh dekho zara parbaton pe ghataayen
hamaari daastaan haule se sunaaye
F: suno to zara yeh phoolon ki waadi
hamaari hi koyi kahaani hai sunaati
M: sapnon ke is nagar mein
yaadon ki rehguzar mein
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

F: jo raahon mein hai rut ne sona bikhera
sunehra hua tera mera savera
M: zameen so gayi barf ki chaadaron mein
bas aag si jalti hai do dilon mein
F: hawaayen sarsaraaye badan kaamp jaaye
yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
M: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

M: yeh barsaat bhi kab thame kaun jaane
F: tumhe mil gaye pyaar ke sau bahaane
M: sitaaron ki hai jaise baraat aayi
F: hamaare liye raat yoon jagmagaayi
M: sapne bhi jhilmilaaye
F: dil mein diye jalaaye
M: yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
F: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan
Both: haan yeh hum aa gaye hai kahaan

Naino mein badra chhaaye...

Lata Mangeshkar is God! So is Madan Mohan! And Raja Mehdi Ali Khan too. Crazy folks, this lot! They blow my mind away. What music.. what voice and lyrics just out of this world... I can't say it in words. You've just got to listen to it.


(naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le) (2)
naino mein badra chhaaye

madira mein doobi ankhiyaan
chanchal hai dono sakhiyaan
madira mein doobi *major goosebumpy music*
madira mein doobi ankhiyaan
chanchal hai dono sakhiyaan
chhalti rahengi tohe
palkon ki pyaari batiyaan
sharma ke denge tohe
madira ke pyaale
naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye

aa aa.. aa aa aa... aa aa aa...

prem deewaani hoon main
sapnon ki raani hoon main
prem deewaani
prem deewaani hoon main
sapnon ki raani hoon main
pichhale janam se teri
prem kahani hoon main
aur is janam bhi tu apna banaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye

Do Ghadi Woh Jo Paas Aa Baithe

Been listening to songs with outstanding abhinay by the artists. This was among of my favorites for the lyrics and music along with the acting/abhinay of both of these actors. First time ever I actually liked Bharat Bhushan and Madhubala looks so innocent with such expressive eyes. Truly gorgeous! As usual, the music/tunes of this song remind me of some other song but I can't pinpoint to which one...


M:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe (2)
F:: hum zamaane se door ja baithe (2)
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

M:: (bhool ki un ka hum-naseen ho ke
royenge dil ko umra-bhar kho ke) (2)
haaye kya cheez thi loota baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

F:: (dil ko ek din zaroor jaana tha
wahin pahooncha jahaan thikaana tha) (2)
dil wohi dil jo dil mein jaa baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

M:: (ek dil hi tha gham-gusaar apnaa
meherbaan khaas raazdaar apnaa) (2)
gair ka kyon use banaa baithe
Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

F:: (gair bhi to koyi haseen hogaa
dil yoon hi de diyaa nahin hogaa) (2)
dekh kar kuchh to chot khaa baithe

Both:: do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe
hum zamaane se door ja baithe
do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe

With dialogs:

Har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai...

I wanted to post this one since a few days since Rajani requested it.

What I like the most about this one is the lyrics. So full of feelings and have such a divine description... Mannada's voice is soulful. I also had a wonderful time watching Raj Kumar in it. Wish it was someone else other than Priya Rajvansh. I don't know why they kept bringing these two in movies together. She must know some big shots to be in so many movies. ;)

The song is beautiful one. Thanks, Rajani, for introducing me to this gem. Please do suggest more of your favorite ones.


har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

itni sacchaai hai in aankhon mein
khote sikke bhi khare ho jaaye
tu kabhi pyaar se dekhe jo udhar
sukhe jangal bhi hare ho jaaye
baag ban jaaye (2) jo veeraane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

ek halkaa saa ishaaraa in kaa
kabhi dil aur kabhi jaan lootegaa
kis tarah pyaas bujhegi us ki
kis tarah us kaa nashaa tootegaa
jiski kismat mein (2) yeh paimaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

neechi nazaron mein hai kitnaa jaadu
ho gaye pal mein kayi khwaab jawaan
kabhi uthane kabhi jhukne ki adaa
le chali jaane kidhar jaane kahaan
raaste pyaar ke (2) anjaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

Hum se aaya na gayaa...

This one is a favorite of Papu and I. We both adore this one as much as we love phir wohi shaam. I didn't know this one was a Madan Mohan creation until today...

Shubha Khote and Anoop Kumar look so cute together. Seems like the song is sung in a lighter mood than what the lyrics convey.


hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa (2)
faasla pyaar mein dono se mitaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa

woh ghadi yaad hai jab tumse mulaaqaat hui (2)
ek ishaaraa huaa do haath badhe baat hui
dekhte dekhte din dhal gayaa aur raat hui
woh samaa aaj talak dil se bhulaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa

kyaa khabar thi ki mile hai to bichhadne ke liye (2)
kismate apni banaayi hai bigadne ke liye (2)
pyaar ka baag lagaaya tha ujadane ke liye
is taraah ujadaa ke phir humse basaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa

yaad reh jaati hai aur waqt guzar jaata hai (2)
phool khilta bhi hai aur khilke bikhar jaata hai
sab chale jaate hai tab dard-e-jigar reh jaata hai
daag jo toone diya dil se mitaaya na gayaa

hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa
faasla pyaar mein dono se mitaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa tumse bhulaaya na gayaa
hum se aaya na gayaa

Hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo...

Some songs never need praising... this one falls under that category. One of my favorite haunting melodies.

This set of artists have always given a hit melodies, in fact just evergreen songs...

I love how little the camera moves and how it captures the scenes.


hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo
woh jafaa kare main wafaa karoon
jo wafaa bhi kaam na aa sake
to wohi kahe ke main kya karoon
hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo

(mujhe gham bhi unka azeez hai
ke unhi ki di hui cheez hai) (2)
ke unhi ki di hui cheez hai
yehi gham hai ab meri zindagi
ise kaise dil se judaa karoon
hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo

(jo na ban sake main woh baat hoon
jo na khatm ho main woh raat hoon) (2)
jo na khatm ho main woh raat hoon
yeh likhaa hai mere naseeb mein
yoon hi shammaa ban ke jalaa karoon
hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo

(na kisi ke dil ki hoon aarzoo
na kisi nazar ki hoon justajoo) (2)
na kisi nazar ki hoon justajoo
main woh phool hoon jo udaas hoon
na bahaar aaye to kyaa karoon

hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo
woh jafaa kare main wafaa karoon
jo wafaa bhi kaam na aa sake
to wohi kahe ke main kya karoon
hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo

Chhod Kar Tere Pyaar Ka Daaman

Aah, it's been ages since I listened to songs like these... what a fun fun song. Helen looks gorgeous and what beautiful voices. Lyrics and music are totally out of this world!!! It's the kind of song that you hum all day and still want to keep humming....


M: chhod kar tere pyaar ka daaman (2)
yeh bataa de ke hum kidhar jaayen
F: hum ko dar hai ke teri baahon mein (2)
hum khushi se na aaj mar jaaye

F: mil gaye aaj qaafile dil ke
hum khade hai qareeb manzil ke
muskura kar jo tum ne dekh liye
mit gaye hans ke sab gile dil ke
M: kitni pyaari hai yeh haseen ghadiyaan
in se keh do yahin thaher jaaye
F: hum ko dar hai ke teri baahon mein
hum khushi se na aaj mar jaaye

M: tere qadamon pe zindagi rakh doon
apni aankhon ki roshani rakh doon
tu agar khush ho main tere dil mein
apne dil ki har ik khushi rakh doon
F: mere humdam meri khushi yeh hai
tu nazar aaye hum jidhar jaaye
M: chhod kar tere pyaar ka daaman
yeh bataa de ke hum kidhar jaayen

F: dekh kar pyaar in nigaahon mein
deep se jal gaye hai raahon mein
tum se milte na hum to yeh duniya
doob jaati hamaari aanhon mein
M: apni aahon se aaj yeh keh do
ab na hothon pe umr bhar aaye
chhod kar tere pyaar ka daaman
yeh bataa de ke hum kidhar jaayen
F: hum ko dar hai ke teri baahon mein
hum khushi se na aaj mar jaaye

Tere Paas Aa Ke Mera Waqt Guzar Jaata Hai

Mala Sinha, the gorgeous damsel and the He-man of Hindi cinema come together once again for this one. This film had some of the most beautiful songs and you can see why. My favorite ones are "aap ko pyaar chhupaane ki buri aadat hai" and this one.

And I just realized we are one week away from Rafi sahab's 85th birthday... May God bless him wherever he is with peace and bliss.

Enjoy this beautiful melody by the most hit pair of singers in HFM.

M: tere paas aa ke mera waqt guzar jaata hai (2)
do ghadi ke liye ghum jaane kidhar jaata hai

F: jab kabhi door se tu mujhko nazar aata hai
pyaar hans kar meri aankhon me sanwar jaata hai
Both: tere paas aa ke mera waqt guzar jaata hai

F: tu wohi hai jisse is dil ne sadaayen dee hai (2)
tu wohi hai jise nazron ne duaayein dee hai
tu wohi hai ke jo dil le ke mukar jaata hai

F: do ghadi ke liye ghum jaane kidhar jaata hai
Both: tere paas aa ke mera waqt guzar jaata hai

M: jaam itne teri masti bhari aankhon se piye... haan
jaam itne teri masti bhari aankhon se piye
bekhudi mein tujhe sajde meri nazron ne kiye
tere jalwon mein khuda mujhko nazar aata hai

F: pyaar hans ke meri aankhon me sanwar jaata hai
Both: tere paas aa ke mera waqt guzar jaata hai

F: teri yaad aate hi ghabra ke chali aati hoon (2)
main har ek qaid ko thukra ke chali aati hoon
main nahin aati mujhe pyaar idhar laata hai
pyaar hans kar meri aankhon me sanwar jaata hai

M: do ghadi ke liye ghum jaane kidhar jaata hai
Both: tere paas aa ke mera waqt guzar jaata hai

Ek Haseen Shaam Ko

Discovered this number a couple of years back when I was browsing around on mohdrafi.com. What a fantastic song! Simply adore the lyrics and the tunes of the song along with my favorite singer, of course. Dharampaaji and Nutan make a fabulous on-screen pair!


ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gayaa
pehle apna hua karta tha ab kisi ka ho gayaa

muddaton se aarzoo thi zindagi mein koyi aaye
sooni sooni zindagi mein koyi shamma jhilmilaaye
woh jo aaye to roshan zamaana ho gayaa
ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gayaa
pehle apna hua karta tha ab kisi ka ho gayaa

mere dil ke caaravaan ko le chalaa hai aaj koyi
shabnami si jiski aankhen thodi jaagi thodi soyi
unko dekhaa to mausam suhaanaa ho gayaa
ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gayaa
pehle apna hua karta tha ab kisi ka ho gayaa

Dheere Dheere... Tum Paas Aa Rahe Ho

I had not listened to this one for the longest time until I got hold of the music of Veer Zaara. May be it's not in the film? I think because I haven't listened to it while watching the film numerous times... and it's not as famous may be because it has that ghazal touch to it. It's become one of my favorites of this film.


M: dheere dheere (2)
aankhon mein chhaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
F: chupke chupke (2)
dil mein samaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
M: dheere dheere
F: chupke chupke

M: jhukti hui yeh palken khulte hue yeh gesoo (2)
yeh sharm ki adaayen woh shokhiyon kaa jaadoo
F: kaise kaise (2)
sapne dikhaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
M: dheere dheere
F: chupke chupke

(don't forget to enjoy the most divine music here)

F: phoolon bhare nazaare yeh khushbuon ke dere (2)
lagte hai khwaab jaise yeh shaam yeh savere
M: haule haule (2)
armaan jagaa rahe ho
tum paas aa rahe ho
F: chupke chupke
M: dheere dheere
aankhon mein chhaa rahe ho
F: tum paas aa rahe ho
M: aa haa haa haa ho ho ho

Zaraa Si Aahat Hoti Hai

This one I can tell is Yaman Kalyan as it reminds me of aansoo bhari hai and so many others including aaye ho meri zindagi mein.

Just watched the video of this song for the first time today and enjoyed it so much. Priya Rajvansh looks so very beautiful; even more pretty than she looked in Heer Ranjha.

To say anything about Lata-Madan Mohan combo isn't enough so I'll just refrain from saying anything at all. Hope you enjoy the song as much as I do.

ps. It's one of those that I enjoy humming often like nain so nain. :)


zara si aahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

zara si aahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

chhupke seene mein aa aa aa...
chhupke seene mein koi jaise sadaa deta hai
shaam se pehle diya dil ka jalaa deta hai
hai usi ki yeh sadaa
hai usi ki yeh adaa
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

shakl phirti hai haa aa aa...
shakl phirti nigaahon mein wohi pyaari si
meri nas nas mein machalne lagi chingaari si
chhu gayi jism mera
kis ke daaman ki hawaa
kahin yeh woh to nahin (3)

Tere Liye Hum Hai Jiye

This has been probably the most famous song of the film and the best one in a long long time. It is the kind of song that will sound more melodious as decades pass.

We were all listening to all of these Veer Zaara songs together. That's when I asked Papu whether he liked this one the best and he said no. He likes "do pal ruka khwaabon ka caravan..." better. I too like that one a lot, but for me both of these song come at number one. Then again I am more partial towards Sonu's singing in "do pal". While we were talking I said that Roop Kumar Rathod has also done a fantastic job in singing (Lataji's singing is out of the question here) and he's probably the best choice, but to my surprise he disagreed. So then I asked who he thought could have done a better justice to the song. His said Kishore Kumar. I was quite surprised at that. :) I thought he'd have said Rafi but he didn't. It's not that I don't like Kishore Kumar but I haven't heard that many songs of him while growing up and since at home we had more music of Rafi sahab, I ended up listening to that only, and that "growing up" part has deeper connection so I tend to listen to those songs more often than any other ones.

After that chit-chat I shared my wild ideas with everyone about how I wished there was a gadget that would let us put in a voice of a person somehow and out comes a different song that we want any song that we want (depending upon the input parameters, of course) in that singer's voice. Aaah! what a miracle that would be. The answer I got was "if you can think of it, may be some day it will exist". I wish a gadget like that comes to existence someday... :D

As for this song, the less we say the better. It can't be said actually, I feel.


M: tere liye hum hai jiye honthon ko siye
F: tere liye hum hai jiye har aansoo piye
M: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye

F: tere liye hum hai jiye har aansoo piye
M: tere liye hum hai jiye honthon ko siye

M: zindagi le ke aayi hai beete dinon ki kitaab (2)

chaaha tha kya paaya hai kya humne dekhiye
M: dil mein magar jalte rahe chaahat ke diye

F: kya kahoon duniya ne kiya mujhse kaisa bair (2)

Lag Jaa Gale Ke Phir...

This was one of those songs that I got to hear from my neighbor when I was a kid. She was a teenager then and loved Lata songs to death. I didn't become a fan instantly but it was a gradual process because later on I got to hear some more ridiculous voices in the industry and realized how sweet this lady sounded, who later I found out was none other than Lata ji. :)

In fact, now that I think of it, she was a bigger fan of the Madan Mohan and Lata songs than just Lata songs. The haunting music is amazing!

Sadhana looks so beautiful and Manoj Kumar very handsome in this one.


lag jaa gale hmm hmm hmm..

Weekend cleaning spree involved cleaning my old DVDs and while doing that I came across one with old Sa Re Ga Ma Classic episodes and listened to this one yet again by a singer named Suhasini. (It's funny, the girls back then dressed so decent in saaris; and blouses with collars and three-quarter length sleeves, looks so nice and not distracting at all). I couldn't get enough of the song from that small clip, so I had to listen to the actual one. It's too bad the video doesn't include the last two stanza that my audio version has.


tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa (2)
meraa saayaa (4)

kabhi mujh ko yaad kar ke jo bahenge tere aansoo (2)
to wahin pe rok lenge unhe aa ke mere aansoo
tu jidhar kaa rukh karegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

tu agar udaas hogaa to udaas hoongi main bhi (2)
nazar aau yaa naa aau tere paas hoongi main bhi
tu kahin bhi jaa rahegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

main agar bichhad bhi jaau kabhi meraa gham naa karanaa (2)
meraa pyaar yaad kar ke kabhi aankh nam na karanaa
tu jo mood ke dekh legaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (4)

mere gham rahaa hai shaamil tere dukh mein tere gham mein (2)
mere pyaar ne diyaa hai teraa saath har janam mein
tu koi janam bhi legaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
tu jahaan jahaan chalegaa meraa saayaa saath hogaa
meraa saayaa (6)

Meri veena tum bin roye

आ आ आ...
मेरी वीना तुम बिन रोये (२)
सजना सजना सजना
मेरी वीना तुम बिन रोये

सांवरियाँ तुम जहाँ बसे हो मैं वो गाँव न जानू
बीतेगी कब बिरहा की यह पापन शाम न जानू
हाय मधुर मिलन कब होए
सजना सजना सजना
मेरी वीना तुम बिन रोये

तुझ बिन मेरे गीत अधूरे होठों पे शरमाये
साज़ उठाऊ तार न बाजे तड़प तड़प रेह जाए
मेरी पीड न जाने कोई
सजना सजना सजना
मेरी वीना तुम बिन रोये
हाय रोये (२)


aa aa aa...
meri veena tum bin roye (2)
sajna sajna sajna
meri veena tum bin roye

saanwariyaan tum jahaan base ho main woh gaanv na jaanu
beetegi kab birha ki yeh paapan shaam na jaanu
haaye madhur milan kab hoye
sajna sajna sajna
meri veena tum bin roye

tujh bin mere geet adhure hothon pe sharmaaye
saaz uthaau taar na baaje tadap tadap reh jaaye
meri peed na jaane koi
sajna sajna sajna
meri veena tum bin roye
haaye roye (2)

Baad Muddat Ke Yeh Ghadi Aayi

For the first time I got to listen to this extra long version of the song. It's fantastic!

M: (baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi) (2)
ishq mar mar ke kaamayaab hua
aaj ek zarraa aaftaab hua (2)

F: shukriyaa hai huzoor aane kaa (2)
waqt jaagaa gareeb-khaane kaa
ek zamaane ke baad eid hui
eid se pehle meri eid hui (2)

M: eid kaa chaand aaj dekhaa hai
eid kaa kyon na aitbaar aaye
haath utha kar duaa yeh kartaa hoon
eid phir aisi baar-baar aaye (2)

F: ishq ka hi koyi khuda hoga
aur jo hoga to sun raha hoga
eid aisi kabhi na aayegi
saath jo aap ko na laayegi (2)

M: din zamaane kaa raat apni hai
is ghadi kaayanaat apni hai
ishq par husn ki inaayat hai
mere pehloo mein meri jannat hai (2)

F: faasale waqt ne mitaa hi diye
dil tadapte hue milaa hi diye
kaash is waqt maut aa jaaye
zindagaani pe aake chhaa jaaye (2)

M: aap jab mere paas hote hai
chaand taare udaas hote hai

F: shola-e-ishq jab bhadakta hai
to khuda ka bhi dil dhadakta hai

M: ishq ko to khuda banata hai
khauf phir kis liye woh bhata? hai

F: ishq apna na kaam kaaj aaye
to khudaai bhi maat kha jaaye (2)

Both: baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi

Yehi Hai Tamanna

When it comes to funny Hindi songs, one just can't forget this one. Rafisahab completely rocks in this one.. and Dharmendra's dance can't get any more ridiculous or funnier. :D

I know this isn't the best song of the film, but I have too much fun watching it for the dance and Dharmpaaji's acting in it.


(yehi hai tamanna tere dar ke saamne meri jaan jaaye
meri jaan jaaye haaye) (2)

tere dar pe aaya to bas aa gaya main
na peechhe hatoonga zamane ke dar se
abhi aa raha hoon abhi kaise jaau
mila kya hai mujhko abhi tere dar se
zara dekh loon main yeh rukh ki bahaare
yeh kad pyaara pyaara yeh zulfon ke saaye haaye
yehi hai tamanna tere dar ke saamne meri jaan jaaye
meri jaan jaaye haaye

gila hai yehi mujhko tere khuda se
haseen jis ne itna banaya hai tujhko
na aata kabhi teri galiyon mein zaalim
tere husn ne khud bulaya hai mujhko
jalaa kar koyi shamma kaise kahega
ke dekho yahaan par na parwana aaye haaye
yehi hai tamanna tere dar ke saamne meri jaan jaaye
meri jaan jaaye haaye

mohabbat mein teri agar maut aaye
to woh maut kitni haseen maut hogi
kisi roz main tera daaman pakad kar
jo mar jaau kya dil naseen maut hogi
agar koyi aisi ghadi aa rahi hai
to meri dua hai woh jaldi se aaye haaye
yehi hai tamanna tere dar ke saamne meri jaan jaaye
meri jaan jaaye haaye

Dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi...

I think I am more partial towards the duet than the solo version by Bhupinder of this song. My favorite one among Gulzar's penned songs. I've never watched it on video but will do so today.


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

M: dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din (2)
baithe rahe tassavvur-e-jaana kiye hue
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: jhaado ki narm dhoop aur aangan mein leit kar (2)
aankhon pe kheech kar tere daaman ke saaye ko (2)
aandhe pade rahe kabhi karvat liye hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: ya garmiyon ki raat jo purvaaiyaan chale (2)
thandi safed chaadaron pe jaage der tak (2)
taaron ko dekhte rahe chhat par pade hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi

F: barfeeli sardeeyon mein kissi bhi pahaad par (2)
waadi mein goonjhti hui khaamoshiyaan sune (2)
aankhon mein bheege bheege se lamhe liye hue
dil dhoondhta hai
M: ho dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
Both: dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
baithe rahe tassavvur-e-jaana kiye hue
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
dil dhoondhta hai phir wohi


F: हो हो हो हो

M: दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन (२)
बैठे रहे तस्सवूर-ऐ-जाना किए हुए
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: झाडों की नर्म धुप और आँगन में लेट कर (२)
आंखों पे खींच कर तेरे दामन के साये को (२)
औंधे पड़े रहे कभी करवट लिए हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: या गर्मियों की रात जो पुर्वाइयां चले (२)
ठंडी सफ़ेद चादरों पे जागे देर तक (२)
तारों को देखते रहे छत पर पड़े हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही

F: बर्फीली सर्दियों में किसी भी पहाड़ पर (२)
वादी में गूंजती हुई खामोशियाँ सुने (२)
आंखों में भीगे भीगे से लम्हे लिए हुए
दील ढूँढता है
M: हो दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
Both: दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
बैठे रहे तस्सवूर-ऐ-जाना किए हुए
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही फुरसत के रात दिन
दील ढूँढता है फिर वोही...
