Koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin...

Been listening to songs based on raag kalaavati and raag kalyaan. This one is a favorite! The lyrics are also very close to the heart.


koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin (2)
bekhudi mein bhi qaraar aataa nahin
koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin

main koyi patthar nahin insaan hoon (2)
kaise keh doon gham se ghabraataa nahin
koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin
bekhudi mein bhi qaraar aataa nahin

kal to sab the caarvaan ke saath saath (2)
aaj koyi raah dikhlaataa nahin
koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin
bekhudi mein bhi qaraar aataa nahin

zindagi ke aaine ko tod do (2)
is mein ab kuchh bhi nazar aataa nahin
koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin
bekhudi mein bhi qaraar aataa nahin
koyi saagar dil ko behlaataa nahin


Film: Dil Diya Dard Liya (1966)

Music Director: Naushad
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
Picturized on: Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman
Raag: Kalaavati

Haaye Re Woh Din Kyon Na Aaye

Such a beautiful song.. mom would always hum this one ever since I was a kid, now I know why. The raag is so addicting. And it did remind me of "kaahe tarsaaye" of Chitralekha. That's because both are based on same raag. :)

I think the person who the song is picturized on is Leela Naidu. So very beautiful looking lady and Balraj Sahani looks quite handsome.

I wonder whether the music director is same as Pt. Ravi Shankar... may be not. Shailendra's lyrics touch heart through Lataji's voice, which travels like an arrow from the bow.


haaye re woh din kyon na aaye (2)
jaa jaa ke ritu (2) laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye

jhilmil woh taare kahaan gaye saare (2)
man baati jale bujh jaaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye
jaa jaa ke ritu laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye

sooni meri beenaa sangeet binaa (2)
sapnon ki maalaa murjhaaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye
jaa jaa ke ritu laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye
