Main Kyaa Jaanu Kyaa Jaadu Hai

Discovered this melodious song while listening to some old songs on this blog. I completely adore how he sings the "kyaa" before "jaadu" each and every single time.

The music is of Pankaj Mullick and beautiful but very little amounts of lyrics are by Kidar Sharma.


main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai
jaadu hai (2)
main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai
in do matwaale nainon mein
jaadu hai (3)
main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai

ek ek athaa saagar sa hai (2)
in do matwaale nainon mein
jaadu hai (3)
main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai

(man poochh rahaa hai ab mujhse
nainon ne kahaa hai kyaa tujhse) (2)
jab nain mile
nainon ne kahaa (2)
jab nain mile nainon ne kahaa
ab nain base ke nainon mein

main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai
jaadu hai (2)
in do matwaale nainon mein
jaadu hai (3)
main kyaa jaanu kyaa jaadu hai

A couple of other singers sing this KLS song and the clips have clearer audio:

Do Nainaa Matwaare Tihaare

What I like about this song is that there are imperfections yet it's so perfect. I adore some of KL Saigal's songs, this being one of them, also picturized on himself.

It is quite sad so many good male singers of HFM have died so young. KLS being one of them too. Such a great loss. :(


(do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare
hum par zulm kare) (2)

nainon mein rahe to sudh-budh khoye (2)
chhupe to (2) chain hare
do nainaa (2) matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)
tan tan ke chalaaye teer
nas nas mein (2) uthaaye peer
tan tan ke chalaaye teer
nas nas mein uthaaye peer
madbhare rasile nithor bade na dare na dheer dhare
do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)

jab hoti ho (2) tum us paar
man ki (2) beena ke baj uthate hai zor zor se taar (2)
paas aaye (2) to aise bhool gaye
pal chhin mein (2) sab kuchh bhool gaye
paas aaye to aise bhool gaye
pal chhin mein sab kuchh bhool gaye
khushiyon ke sote ubal pade har ang pe rang bhare
do nainaa matwaare tihaare
hum par zulm kare (2)
