Kasme waade pyaar wafaa..

Hearing the news about Pransahab's passing, I couldn't think of any better song than this to share. The naked truth and bitter reality of life. Mannada has sung is so beautifully. Especially the aalaap in the words that get repeated twice... so very emotional.

Thrilled for they awarded him with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2012. Rest in peace, dear Pransahab. Om Shanti.


kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya (2)
koyi kisi ka nahin yeh jhoothe naate hai naaton ka kya
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

hoga maseeha (2)
saamne tere phir bhi na tu bach paayega
tera apna (2)
khoon hi aakhir tujhko aag lagaayega
aasmaan ke (2)
udne wale mitti mein mil jaayega
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

sukh mein tere (2)
saath chalenge dukh mein sab mukh modenge
duniya wale (2)
tere ban kar tera hi dil todenge
dete hai (2)
bhagwaan ko dhokha insaan ko kya chhodenge
kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya
koyi kisi ka nahin yeh jhoothe naate hai naaton ka kya

kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab baatein hai baaton ka kya

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi...

It's the evergreen music and lyrics that keep this one alive, oh wait.. it's the singers too! :) Can't forget them, can we?

Songs of this film were one of the first ones I remember listening to as a child and I think that's what keeps them so close to heart.

I adore Nargis in this one... so simple and so beautiful.


M: (yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara) (2)

F: aa aa aa aa.. aa aa aa...
kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

(what fun music!)

M: ithalaati hawaa neelam sa gagan
kaliyon pe yeh behoshi ki nami
aise mein bhi kyon bechain hai dil
jeevan mein na jaane kya hai kami

F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara

(Notice how all of a sudden it changes to haunting music here!)

F: jo din ke ujaale mein na mila
dil dhoondhe aise sapne ko
ek raat ki jag-mag mein doobi
main dhoondh rahi hoon apne ko

M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

(got goosebumpy music?)

M: aise mein kahin kya koyi nahin
bhoole se jo hum ko yaad kare
F: ek halki si muskaan se jo
sapnon ka jahaan aabaad kare

M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
Both: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara

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)

Duniya banaane waale... pyaar ki aag mein...

While listening to the songs of film Ziddi, I discovered so many songs that I had missed out on watching the film years ago. This being one of them. It sounds and looks comedy, but has very deep feelings about a broken hearted person. Mannada gives voice to Mehmood once again to create this magical number. I still can't believe I missed this song.

At about 3:30 mins in the song, you hear the famous music that has been played in many many songs like nazare mili dil dhadaka, dole dole dil dole bole dil bole, and of course from Come September, and many more.


duniya banaane waale sun se meri kahaani
roye meri mohabbat
tapde (2) meri jawaani

pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gayaa (2)
jaane phir kyon jalaati hai duniya mujhe (2)
pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gayaa

main to rotaa phiru baadalon ki tarhaa
thandi aahen bharu paagalon ki tarhaa
main to rotaa phiru baadalon ki tarhaa
arre main to ho ho ho rotaa phiru
main to rotaa phiru baadalon ki tarhaa
thandi aahen bharu paagalon ki tarhaa
jaane phir kyon, phir kyon
jaane phir kyon rulaati hai duniya mujhe
pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gayaa (2)

baat jab main karoon mooh se nikle dhuaa
jal gayaa (2) mere dil kaa jahaan
baat jab main karoon mooh se nikle dhuaa (2)
arre jal gayaa
jal gayaa mere dil ka jahaan
jaane phir kyon, phir kyon
jaane phir kyon sataati hai duniya mujhe
pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gayaa (2)

ishq mujhko nachaataa rahaa hai sadaa
kyaa kyaa sapne dikhaata rahaa hai sadaa
ishq mujhko nachaataa rahaa hai sadaa (2)
kyaa kyaa sapne dikhaata rahaa hai sadaa
jaane phir kyon, phir kyon
jaane phir kyon nachaati hai duniya mujhe
pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gayaa (2)
tan badan jal gaya (2)

Apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye...

This song is practically never on youtube. I have been searching for it since months, probably years... so today while searching for it yet again, when I found it, I got so excited and decided to share it.

The first time I had watched this was probably on rangoli or chitrahaar or may be it was on ATN and ever since then I fell in love with it. I have to admit, it was all because of the lyrics and ever so young Sanjeev Kumar and his smile. Today, listening to it again while watching, just makes me fall in love with it once again. Manna Dey's voice is beautiful and I adore the music. It is of Usha Khanna. I wish I knew the names of the other people in there. Until then... enjoy this gem.


khudgaraz duniya mein yeh insaan ki pehchaan hai
jo paraayi aag mein jal jaaye woh insaan hai

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

naakaamiyon se ghabra ke kyon apni aas khote ho (2)
main humsafar tumhaara hoon kyon tum udaas hote ho
hanste raho hasaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

apni khudi ko jo samjha usne khuda ko pehchaana (2)
aazaad fitrate insaan andaaz kyon bhulaa maana
sir yeh nahin jhukaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

baazaar se zamaane ke kuchh bhi naa hum kharidenge (2)
haan bech kar khushi apni logon ke gham kharidenge
bujhte diye jalaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

himmat buland hai apni patthar si jaan rakhte hai (2)
kadmon tale zameen to kya hum aasmaan rakhte hai
girte huo ko uthaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye

chal aaftaab le kar chal chal maahtaab le kar chal (2)
tu apni ek thokar mein sau inqalaab le kar chal
zulm-o-sitam mitaane ke liye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye

apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)
tu jee aye dil zamaane ke liye
apne liye jeeye to kya jeeye (2)

The actual song starts at 2:18 in the clip.

Aaja Sanam Madhur Chaandni Mein Hum

Evergreen! That's the category of this one. The song still sounds brand new after more than half a century and people can still relate to it.

Again, one of those first few songs I listened to as kid and have ever lasting memories attached with it - the old cassette player with loose plug that needed extra support to stay in the plug socket and the tape lid that needed something heavy to be placed on top so the two little groovy holes on tape actually fit into the two revolving screw-like knobs in the player. It was an old family tape player that just sat around and I got to play it around as no one used it. All I had back then was a couple of dusty audio tapes with scratched labels and no clue what was in them. I was just fascinated with the whole mechanism of switches and tape and the music that came out of it... it is only now that I actually realize that it was because of Lataji's and Mannada's lovely voices and SJ's music that did the trick. I had no clue about what the lyrics meant... I still remember thinking that lyricist Shailendra was talking about the garment "lungi" when he wrote "dam bhar jo udhar mooh phere..." :P How silly I was! This one took me back to those childhood days.

I can't stand Raj Kapoor and totally adore Nargis, but still think they made a great pair on silver screen. Hasrat Jaipuri's lyrics just get better and better as I discover/realize how good his work has been.


F: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)

kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)

M: bheegi bheegi raat mein dil ka daaman thaam le
khoyi khoyi zindagi har dum tera naam le

F: (chaand ki behki nazar keh rahi hai pyaar kar
zindagi hai ek safar kaun jaane kal kidhar) (2)

M: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)

F: kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)

M: dil yeh chaahe aaj to baadal ban ud jaau main
dulhan jaisa aasmaan dharti par le aau main

F: (chaand ka dola saje dhoom taaron mein mache
jhoom ke duniya kahe pyaar mein do dil mile) (2)

Both: aaja sanam madhur chaandni mein hum tum
mile to veeraane mein bhi aa jaayegi bahaar
jhoomne lagega aasmaan (2)

F: kehta hai dil aur machalta hai dil
more saajan le chal mujhe taaron ke paar
lagta nahin hai dil yahaan (2)

Main Tere Pyaar Ka Beemaar

Usually people either forward these songs or take a bathroom break during these songs, but I honestly love watching them and enjoy them. :D

Mannada does an awesome job and Mehmood's acting is priceless. It amazes me when song writers write the songs to match the movie situations, like this one. SJ music and the classical touch to the song make me want to listen to the song over and over again.


main tere pyaar ka beemaar hoon kya arz karoon (2)
tera aashiq hoon gunehgaar hoon kya arz karoon
main tere pyaar ka beemaar hoon kya arz karoon

mujhko pehchaan lo main hoon tera rasiya jogi (2)
apne jogi pe inaayat ki nazar kab hogi
tera banda hoon (4)
khatavar hoon kya arz karoon
main tere pyaar ka beemaar hoon kya arz karoon

le ek armaan meri jaan main aa pahoocha hoon (2)
teri khaatir to main japan bhi to aa pahooncha hoon
tera mitva hoon (4)
talabgaar hoon kya arz karoon
main tere pyaar ka beemaar hoon kya arz karoon

bin tere dil mera dooba hi chala jaata hai (2)
chahe badnaam sahi tera to kehlata hai
main to rusvaa (4)
are bazaar hoon kyaa arz karoon
main tere pyaar ka beemaar hoon kya arz karoon
tera aashiq hoon gunehgaar hoon kya arz karoon

Aan Milo Shyaam Saanware

It wasn't until Pinku asked me for this song that I got to hear this beautiful song. The lyrics are so beautiful and it's sung so wonderfully by Geeta Dutt and Manna Dey. I don't think this is an often heard song of film Devdas. A really special one for the devotees of Shri Radha-Krishna.


G: aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware aan milo
aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware
brij mein akeli raadhe khoyi khoyi si re
M: radhe khoyi khoyi si re oh kanha aan milo
G: ho
Both: aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware aan milo

G: brindaavan ki galiyan mein tum bin jiyara na laage
M: ho jiyara na laage
G: nis din tumari baaT nihaare vyakul nain abhaage
M: vyakul nain abhaage
G: ab hi aisi dasha hai man ki ka hui hai phir aage re
brij mein akeli raadhe khoyi khoyi si re
M: radhe khoyi khoyi si re oh kanha aan milo
G: ho
Both: aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware aan milo

G: aaj na kaahe jamna teere murli madhur bajaai
M: ho murli madhur bajaai
aaj na kaahe sakhiyan ke sang hilmil raas rachaai
M: hilmil raas rachaai
humra aangan chhod ke tohe kaun nagariya bhaayi re
brij mein akeli raadhe khoyi khoyi si re
M: radhe khoyi khoyi si re oh kanha aan milo
G: ho
Both: aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware aan milo

G: ajhun jo na bheje mohan taine koyi khabariya
M: ho ho ho
G: ho ajhun jo na bheje mohan taine koyi khabariya
ho taine koi khabariya
ho jayi hai is brij ki bala ro ro kar bawariya
M: ho ro ro kar bawariya
G: dheer bandha ja dheer bandha ja
mukh dikhlaja nat-naagar saanwariya re
brij mein akeli raadhe khoyi khoyi si re
M: radhe khoyi khoyi si re oh kanha aan milo
G: ho
Both: aan milo aan milo shyaam saanware aan milo
