Jaane Woh Kaise Log The...

The first time I had heard this song was when I was a kid. Mom used to hum these classics so often then that I just thought that these were actually songs of hers and not movie songs. Later on when I learnt what movies were, I realized these were actually immortal songs made by some crazily creative folks. Reading about it and listening to it on Anaamica's blog made me realize once again what a beautiful song it actually is. I just had to post it. Mindblowing lyrics!


jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar milaa
humne to jab kaliyaan maangi kaanton kaa haar milaa
jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar milaa

khushiyon ki manzil dhoondhi to gham ki gard mili (2)
chaahat ke naghame chaahe to aanhen sard mili
dil ke bojh ko dhundhalaa kar gayaa jo ghamkhaar milaa
humne to jab kaliyaan maangi kaanton kaa haar milaa
jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar milaa

bichhad gayaa (2)
bichhad gayaa har saathi de kar pal do pal kaa saath
kis ko fursat hai jo thaame deewaanon kaa haath
hum ko apnaa saayaa tak aksar bezaar milaa
humne to jab kaliyaan maangi kaanton kaa haar milaa
jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar milaa

isko hi jeenaa kehte hai to yoon hi jee lenge (2)
uff na karenge lab see lenge aansoo pee lenge
gham se ab ghabaraanaa kaisaa gham sau baar milaa
humne to jab kaliyaan maangi kaanton kaa haar milaa
jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar milaa

Tum Pukaar Lo Tumhaara Intezaar Hai

One of my favorite haunting melodies of Hemant Kumar. What awesome lyrics and the depth the music and his voice give to song are out of this world! I'm not a huge fan of Hemantda but if I have to pick and choose favorites, this would surely be one of them.


hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm

tum pukaar lo
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo
khwaab chun rahi hai raat beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(honth pe liye hue dil ki baat hum
jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum) (2)
muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai tum pukaar lo

(dil bahel to jaayega is khayaal se
haal mil gaya tumhaara apne haal se) (2)
raat yeh qaraar ki beqaraar hai
tumhaara intezaar hai

Nain So Nain Naahi Milaao

One of the songs I hum the most absentmindedly, without realizing I'm humming it. Don't know why!

It was wonderful to see Gopi Krishna on film first time as I'd only seen him in family photos. One of mom's uncles was his close friends so I had never got to see Gopi Krishna dancing until I watched this song a little while back. Beautiful dance by both the dancers.

The voices of Lata ji and Hemant da so romantic... awesome song!
