Jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai..

Listening to another duet I came across this one. I don't think I've ever listened to this one before. It completely blew me away... Love the raag malkauns and Rafi sahab's singing. Shammi Kapoor looks so very handsome as ever and actress so much like a mix of Asha Parekh and Vyjayantimala. It's the very beautiful B. Saroja Devi. Too bad she can't act nearly as well as Asha Parekh or Vyjayantimala.

This song takes me back to so many other songs based on the same raag, like chhu lene do nazuk hothon ko, man tarpat hari darsan ko aaj, and songs/music of Navrang.. so beautiful!


jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai (2)
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

aayi hai mere paas tu is aan-baan se (2)
utari ho jaise koyi pari aasmaan se
main kya kahoon khushi se ajab mera haal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

haaye yeh teri mast adaayeh yeh baankpan (2)
kiranon ko bhi main chhoone na doonga tera badan
tujhse nazar milaaye yeh kiski majaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

main khush-naseeb hoon ke tujhe maine paa liya (2)
toone karam kiya apna bana liya
aise mile hai hum ke bichhadna muhaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai
wallaah kamaal hai arre wallaah kamaal hai
jaan-e-bahaar husn tera bemisaal hai

Phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

For some reason this one reminds me of zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi. I think it's the singer, slow music and similar instruments playing in the background that cause this effect.

Absolutely love the way Rafi sahab sings the word "mulaqaat" in this one. Funnily enough, the song came up on youtube as I was listening to "wada na tod" of Lataji and I got to listen to it for the first time. So glad I clicked on it. :) Sharmila looks so gorgeous.


M: phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo (2)
(hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

[love the music here, wondering what other instruments play here other than sitar and violin]

(dil ki har baat adhoori hai adhoori hai abhi
apni ek aur mulaqaat zaroori hai abhi) (2)
chand lamhon ke liye saath ka wada kar lo
hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo

F: aap kyon dil ka haaseen raaz mujhe dete hai
kyon nayaa naghmaa nayaa saaz mujhe dete hai
main to hoon doobi hui pyaar ke toofaanon mein
aap saahil se hi aawaaz mujhe dete hai
kal bhi honge yehi jazbaat yeh wada kar lo

M: (hum se ek aur mulaqaat ka wada kar lo
phir miloge kabhi is baat ka wada kar lo) (2)

Yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum...

One of the best scenes of the film with superb dialogs! It is one of my favorite scenes of the film where Nawaab sahab (Ashok Kumar) actually thinks bad of his friend, Anwar (Rajendra Kumar) but reality is something completely different and how at the end of a-minute-long conversation between Husna and Anwar leaves him speechless and feeling guilty. It's amazing and they've picturized it so well. What top-notch acting by all the actors!

I'm so happy this clip just includes this scene and the beautiful song that follows. Of course, it's hard to choose just one song from this one as each and everyone is fabulous but this one does get a little higher score for having out-of-the-world music, meaningful touchy lyrics and the gorgeous couple with great on-screen chemistry!


M: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

F: jab se toone nigaah pheri hai
din hai soona to raat andheri hai
chaand bhi ab nazar nahin aata
ab sitaare bhi kam nikalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: loot gayi woh bahaar ki mehfil
chhut gayi hum se pyaar ki manzil
zindagi ki udaas raahon mein
teri yaadon ke saath chalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

F: tujhko paa kar hume bahaar mili
tumjhse chhutkar magar yeh baat khuli
baagbaan bhi chaman ke phoolon ko
apne pairon se khud masalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: kyaa kahe tujhse kyon hui doori
hum samajhte hai apni majhboori
tujhko maaloom kyaa ke tere liye
dil gham aansuo mein dhalte hai

F: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

Bekhudi mein sanam...

And I'm back to my favorite decade, the 60s!! I have to admit that I love this one more for music and Shashi Kapoor and the singers' voices than the rest of the talent, if that's what we want to call it. ;) This KA music is the kind that makes the tiny hairs on the entire body stand up, specially the violins and the tabla that go off as soon as Rafi sahab starts singing in the beginning and piercing voice of Lata ji and how Papu would say, that "aashaadhi" (આષાઢી) voice of Rafi sahab! And in all that I didn't even realize that our heroine came and went in a turquoise-colored Santa outfit. I mean who gets time to look at that while that delicious looking Shashi Kapoor is around. This one is one of my favorites of him.

F: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

(Introducing the turquoise Santa!) ;)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam (2)
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

F: ho ho ho bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F: aag yeh kaisi man mein lagi hai
man se badhi to tan mein lagi hai
M: aag nahin yeh dil ki lagi hai
jitni bujhaayi utni jali hai
F: dil ki lagi na ho to kya zindagi hai
saath hum jo chale mit gaye faasle
M: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

M: khoyi nazar thi soye nazaare
dekha tumhe to jaage yeh saare
F: dil ne kiye jo dil ko ishaare
mil ke chale hum saath tumhaare
M: aaj khushi se mera dil yeh pukaare
tera daaman mila pyaar mera khila
F: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F:dil ki kahaani pahoochi zubaan tak
kis ko khabar ab pahoche kahaan tak
M:pyaar ke raahi aaye yahaan tak
jaayenge dil ki had hai jahaan tak
F:tum saath do to chale hum aasmaan tak
dil mein armaan liye laakh toofaan liye

Both: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye

Waadiyaan mera daaman...

So actually it happens so that in Hulchul, it is not when Kishanbhaiya/Murari arrives at Gangapur this Rafi song plays. It is when Jai and Lucky get off the bus (at 1:30:00 in this clip) this song plays. Then the song playing when Kishanbhaiya arrives (at 1:33:00 min) is different and quite inaudible so it's hard to listen.

Coming back to our song now.. wow! what a fabulous song... and it's all thanks to the RDB music & the way Rafi sahab has sung this song. Nothing else adds to it. The dhun is so catchy and echoing music out of this world! I guess this must be my favorite song too because it also falls under the most-absentmindedly-hummed category.

Sanjay Khan and Nanda are just about okay in the gorgeous melodious male solo version of the song seems a bit haunting at times. The softer romantic female version, which could actually be a duet, is picturized on Nanda and Marathi actor Kashinath Ghanekar. Note how both versions have completely different music.


M: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab churaaoge tan tum kisi baat se (2)
shaakh-e-gul chhed degi mere haath se
apni hi zulf ko aur uljaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab se milne lagi tum se raahen meri (2)
chaand sooraj bani do nigaahen meri
tum kahin bhi raho tum nazar aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman


~~~~~

M: waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge

F: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab hasegi kali rang waali koyi (2)
aur jhuk jaayegi tum pe dalai koyi
sir jhukaaye hue tum mujhe paaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

chal rahe ho jahaan is nazar se pare (2)
woh dagar to guzarti hai dil se mere
dagmagaate hue tum yehi aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

Khoya Khoya Chaand Khula Aasmaan...

I really enjoy rewatching my favorite films because that's when I get to pay attention to those little details that I probably missed while watching them the previous times.

Do you remember that scene in Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (at 6:26 min) when super upset Baauji (Amrish Puri) arrives at home from store after just having dealt with beer-guzzling Raj (SRK)? Simran (Kajol) wants to go on a tour of Europe, so to set the right mood, she promptly switches the song from random hulla-gulla type song (which probably is another HFM oldie) to gham diye mustakil.

Similarly, in Jab We Met when Aditya (Shahid) and Geet (Kareena) arrive at Hotel Decent, there is a moment when some random song plays in the background. The music of it is so cool it just makes you feel happy. I kept wondering and recalling random songs for almost an hour to find out which one this was until Papu came by. As soon as I had him listen to it, he said it!! and indeed this was it!!

I think there's one more song like this. It is during the scene in film Hulchul (Kareena starrer) when Kishanbhaiya (Paresh Raval) arrives at his village on a bus to see his wife Gopi (Farah). He gets off the bus near this paan ki dukaan/stall and the song is playing in the background right at that moment. I definitely know it's a Mohd Rafi song.. need to go back and watch the scene again to remember what song that is... that song tomorrow, if I don't already have it on here. :)

Any ways, for this one, I find it hilarious that Dev Anand sahab had to move his hands such funny way to make it work. I love the song nevertheless, mostly for the music and lyrics and Rafi sahab's voice. And also for the fact that it has fooooooooooourrrr lovely stanzas and how the third one starts off on a completely different tune than rest of them. Enjoy!


ho ho ho ho
(khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan

tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho) (2)

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

Madhosh Hawaa Matwaali Fizaa... Sansaar Suhaana Lagta Hai

Happy New Year 2011! May this year be filled with more fun music and ever growing love for it.

So what happens when you start listening to songs in the new year anticipating fun numbers to listen to and watch while youtubing and your three-stanza-long-positive-thoughts-filled song turns out to be double in length and even more fun!!? That is called a truly happy new year. That's exactly what happened today while listening to this number and boy! am I glad I went to listen to those initial songs on Resp. Shammi ji's channel on youtube. That was also a discovery - a complete cherry-on-top, icing-on-the-cake moment.

If you've listened to this one before, I guarantee that it will still be more entertaining to listen to it again today. I love love LOVE this one and not just for Rafi sahab or for Shammi ji but both of them and even more. The SJ music is so upbeat and cheers me up and lyrics are out of this world. What a nice song penned by Farooq Qaiser. My greedy self still wants to have the video of this whole song on youtube. Hopefully soon! :D

mitataa hai mera dil mit jaaye

andaaz jawaani kya kahiye

kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

(tum apni nazar ki bechaini

Jai Raghunandan Jai Siyaa Raam

It's been a while since I heard a bhajan that sounds so good. Absolutely adore the way the singers have sung this one.

And if it reminds you of other songs such as chandan sa badan that's because they're all based on raag yaman.

I completely adore the woman in this song. I have no idea who that is but she looks gorgeous and I love her jewelry too. If anyone knows who the actors are in this song, please do share. I only know that the youngest kid is Daisy Irani.

I am fascinated with the Ravi music and Shakeel Badayuni lyrics here. Wow! it's just amazing...

Main To Tere Haseen Khayaalon Mein

When I started listening to the song, it caught my attention right away because the music was so attractive, specially all the instruments in the beginning of the song. And then the sweetest voice followed and it just made me get lost the way they say "main to tere haseen khayaal mein kho gayaa". First glimpse of the video gave me a feeling the actor too looked too familiar. Of course, why not, it's Dara Singh's brother Randhawa. They look so similar I almost got mixed up. It amazes me how many Bollywood men Rafi sahab gave his voice to. The actress, Swarna Kumari, also looks pretty nice for being not-so-famous.

I am so in love with this music. It is of Lala Asar Sattar. I've never heard of him before today. Must find more of his work. Lyrics per earthmusic are by Aish Kanwal. Nice ones and I adore them for the meaning and rhyming words. Hope you enjoy it too!


main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa (2)
duniyaa yeh keh rahi hai ke deewaana ho gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

yeh husn teraa khiltaa huaa saa gulaab hai (2)
aankhen teri haseen kanwal kaa shabaab hai
tu laajawaab hai
woh khushnaseeb hai teri mehfil mein jo gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

koyi na jis ko samjhaa tu ek aisaa raaz hai (2)
mujhko bhi aaj apne muqaddar pe naaz hai
tu dil nawaaz hai
aashiq hoon teri zulf ke saaye mein so gayaa
main to tere haseen khayaalon mein kho gayaa

daaman chhudaa ke jaao na itne guroor se (2)
kyaa hai kusoor poochhate hai hum huzoor se
dekho na door se
kar do khataa muaaf jo honaa thaa ho gayaa

Zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi...

This gem has only been discovered today. It reminds me of so many songs, such as chhod de saari duniya, ek tu na mila, and even a Gujarati garbo koi rajparaa jai ne, and may be even more that I can't recall right now.

What fun it is to discover that it is a piano song! but a sad one at that. I still like it quite a lot. Parveen Babi and Sunil Dutt look great. KA music and Indeevar lyrics make it only better than what Rafi sahab makes it.

I can't believe this is only the first Parveen Babi song on this blog. :O Gotta post more!!!


tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
(zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin) (2)

tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin

teri chaahat na jab tak milegi (2)
rooh meri bhatakti rahegi
haal meraa agar woh sunenge
mujhpe deewaane bhi ro padenge (2)
haal sun ke meraa phir bhi teri
aankh royi nahin
tu jo nahin koyi meraa
meraa koyi nahin koyi nahin
zindagi teri yaadon mein khoyi
phir bhi khoyi nahin

phir se dekhaa tujhe hum ne jis dum (2)
mar chale the magar jee uthe hum
berukhi se hume toone maaraa
tu hai kaisaa maseehaa humaaraa (2)
jab lagaani na thi paar naiyaa
kyon dubooyi nahin

phir bhi khoyi nahin) (2)

Chaman Ke Phool Bhi Tujhko

The random Rafi songs I have placed on my ipod are the best because I get to listen to new undiscovered numbers while I least expect it. This one was discovered the same way. Ever since I listened to it for the first time, it has made me want to go back to it and listen to it over and over again. Sometimes, I just go directly to this one and listen to it. It's that beautiful.

Later on, when I googled for it to find the video, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it was a song picturized on Ajit and Ragini (the girl from phir aane lagaa yaad). What a lovely and unique pairing! No wonder the song is so much fun to listen to as it's sung by Rafi-Lata combo and music is of G.S. Kohli (wonder whether he is related to Madan Mohan) and taareef karofying words penned by Faarooq Qaiser. :)


M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko gulaab kehte hai (2)
humi nahin hai sabhi (2) laajawaab kehte hai
F: nazar milaa ke mere (2) dil ki baat pehchaano
sunaa hai chehre ko (2) dil ki kitaab kehte hai
M: chaman ke phool bhi tujhko

F: (saaz-e-dil chhed diyaa hai
to yeh naghma sun lo) (2)
bikhri bikhri hai mere pyaar ki kirane chun lo
M: isi kiran ko sanam (2) aaftaab kehte hai
F: humi nahin (2)

Bandaa parvar thaam lo jigar...

For me, if one movie that can come close to Golmaal, it would be Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon. Like Golmaal, I must have watched it more than 20 times. It is one of those movies that falls under the "most-entertaining" category. That could be a personal thing too as I truly enjoy the music, songs, story, acting along with the silliness and everything else about the movie.

It's so much fun to watch these songs over and over again. Jeeps and the tall trees remind me of another OPN-Majrooh-Rafi song pukaarta chala hoon main. The best part about this one are the music, lyrics and singer's voice along with all the horse-carriges/taanga and Popatlaal's comedy. And for some reason, everytime I hear the taanga music in a song, it makes me feel that it must be OPN song.

Joy Mukherjee becomes a pathan to disguise himself in this one and Asha Parekh as her beautiful bossy self with a cute hat. It's a lot of fun to watch them. They had pretty good onscreen chemistry. As for the location, I wonder what place this is. Mona's friend mentions Barahmulla right before the song but I am not sure whether that's where it is.

If you are watching the extended clip below, check out the comedy parts of Difu (Rajendranath) in and around the song for additional entertainment. :)

Clip with dialogs and extra parts:

Mukhde pe tere... chal thamke zaraa...

The music mislead me to believe that it was a Shammi Kapoor song. How wrong I was... and after watching it, I feel it should've really been a Shammi Kapoor song. Oh well! I am just going to feel happy for it is a Rafi song.

It is one awesome awesome song.. with really cool lyrics. Listening to these lyrics by Prem Dhavan. First time I'm hearing this name. Wonder whether he's related to other Dhavan's of our film industry.

This three-stanza song reminds me of another Rafi song of Dharam paaji yehi hai tamanna.

I think the actress looks better than the actor. ;) And this marks a new entry to the car songs!!


mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(har jalwaa tera hai qaatil
har ek adaa dil loote) (2)
hai chaal mein teji jaise
ek teer kamaan se chhute
jab chalti ho tum (2)
kehte hai sabhi hat jaao qayaamat aati hai [this line makes me laugh!]
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(naagan ki tarah balkhaati [hehehe... check out his dancing here ;)]
daalo na idhar tum phere) (2)
hai aas lagaaye baithe
hum jaise to laakh sapere
kitnaa bhi zaher (2)
naagin mein rahe jab been baje phas jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa

(dil cheez hai khone waali
is ko itnaa na sambhaalo) (2)
aankhon mein basaa loongaa main
yeh dil jo mujhe de daalo
naadaan ho tum (2)
naadaanon se har cheez kahin kho jaati hai
mukhde pe tere bijali ki chamak
zulfon mein ghataa lehraati hai
chal thamke zaraa aye sholaa badan
meri jaan nikalti jaati hai
chal thamke zaraa

Yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen...

What I like the most about this one is both of them singing so much together. I've never seen any other song where both the singers sing together for longer times.

Then my second favorite has to be the music. It's so peppy and cheers me up. :)

The locations are so beautiful no wonder they'd feel so happy... what amazes me is the singers have done such a fine justice to it that it just feels so right. Almost like they also sang in these locations.


F: yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen
yeh jaane pehchaane raste
kal bhi the yeh nikhare nikhare
aaj bhi hai yeh hanste hanste

M: aa ha ha ha ha
yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen
yeh jaane pehchaane raste
kal bhi the yeh nikhare nikhare
aaj bhi hai yeh hanste hanste

Both: aa ha ha ha ha
yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen

F: hum tum honge jahaan jahaan
pyaar bhi hoga wahaan wahaan
kehti hai dil ki dhadkan
hum jawaan tum jawaan

M: hum tum honge jahaan jahaan
pyaar bhi hoga wahaan wahaan
kehti hai dil ki dhadkan
hum jawaan tum jawaan (it's so cute how they pause in between this line)

Both: yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen
yeh jaane pehchaane raste
kal bhi the yeh nikhare nikhare
aaj bhi hai yeh hanste hanste
aa ha ha ha ha
yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen

M: jab tak raah dikhaane waali
teri shokh nazar hai
mere saathi mere humdum
pyaara pyaara yeh safar hai

F: jab tak raah dikhaane waali
teri shokh nazar hai
mere saathi mere humdum
pyaara pyaara yeh safar hai

Both: yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen
yeh jaane pehchaane raste
kal bhi the yeh nikhare nikhare
aaj bhi hai yeh hanste hanste
aa ha ha ha ha
yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen

(music here reminds me of ibtadaa-e-ishq mein song)

(M: waadi waadi gulshan gulshan
sang tere rukhsaaron ka
F: tere hi naghme gaaye
boota boota gulzaaron ka) (2)

Both: yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen
yeh jaane pehchaane raste
kal bhi the yeh nikhare nikhare
aaj bhi hai yeh hanste hanste
aa ha ha ha ha
yeh albeli pyaar ki raahen

Chaand Taktaa Hai Idhar

Best part about listening to songs with Papu is that I get to discover new songs out of nowhere. This one also came about like that. He thought it was "chaand dhalta??? hai idhar" and then we googled to find the right song. :)

Suman Kalyanpur has never sounded sweeter. Here once again she creates magic with Rafi sahab. What a sweet melody!

Music is of Roshan sahab and Sahirji's lyrics are a nice change to hear from our regular Hindi lyrics.


M: chaand taktaa hai idhar (2)
aao kahin chhup jaaye
F: kahin laage na nazar
aao kahin chhup jaaye
chaand taktaa hai idhar

M: phool shaakhon se jhuke jaate hai hothon ki taraf (2)
jhonkhe balkhaake mude aate hai
ho mude aate hai zulfon ki taraf
F: aa aa aa
chhod kar in ki dagar (2)
aao kahin chhup jaaye
kahin laage na nazar
aao kahin chhup jaaye
chaand taktaa hai idhar

F: main hi main dekhoon sajan doojaa na dekhe tohe (2)
kaa khabar kaun sautaniyaan toraa
ho sautaniyaan toraa man mohe
M: ho ho ho...
dil pe daalo na asar (2)
(aao kahin chhup jaaye
chaand taktaa hai idhar) (2)

M: saari nazaron se pare saare nazaaron se pare (2)
aasmaanon pe chamakte hue
ho chamakte hue taaron se pare
F: aa aa aa
odh kar laal chunar (2)
aao kahin chhup jaaye
kahin laage na nazar
aao kahin chhup jaaye
Both: chaand taktaa hai idhar

Yeh Waadiyaan Yeh Fizaayen...

At first, when I was listening to the song, I thought it must have been picturized on Shashi Kapoor. Or at least that's what it sounded like. But when I watched it, I was completely blown away by seeing Sunil Dutt! Nice to see him paired with young and beautiful Nanda.

Our hero is more than 6 ft tall and heroine is less than even 5 ft so this is how they choose to show them to hide the height difference. Quite interesting, as one doesn't even notice all that until you start paying attention.

I find this as sweet as a lullaby/lori and it just makes me want to keep listening to it. Thanks to Rafi sahab, Sahir ji and music maestro Ravi.


yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

taras rahe hai jawaan phool hoth chhoone ko (2)
machal machal ke hawaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

tumhaari zulfon se khushboo ki bheekh lene ko (2)
jhuki jhuki si ghataayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (pay attention to how he sings the word khaamoshiyon)
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

haseen champayi pairon ko jab se dekhaa hai haaye
haseen champayi pairon ko jab se dekhaa hai
nadi ki mast adaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

(reminds me of this Hariharan song that goes like "raat mehke to yoon hi hota hai")

mera kahaa na suno inn ki baat to sun lo (2)
har ek dil ki duaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe (2)
khaamoshiyon ki sadaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe
yeh waadiyaan yeh fizaayen bulaa rahi hai tumhe

Humi se mohabbat humi se ladaayi

You don't see Dilip Kumar in this mood too often. I am having such a fun time watching him in Leader doing all the crazy things that are more of signature adaayen for say Shammi Kapoor or even Dharmendra. And Vijayantimala has been in too many serious roles so this one was a fresh change to see. I'm still half a way through the movie but couldn't get over this song so kept listening to it. Naushadji's music is gorgeous and so are the lyrics of Shakeel Badayuni sahab along with Rafi sahab's mischievous singing.


humi se mohabbat humi se ladaayi (2)
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi (2)
abhi naasamajh ho uthaao na khanjar (2)
kahin mud na jaaye tumhaari kalaayi
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi

sitam aaj mujh par jo tum dhaa rahi ho
badi khubsoorat nazar aa rahi ho
yeh jee chaahta hai ke khud jaan de doon (2)
mohabbat mein aaye na tum par buraayi
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi

hume husn ki har adaa hai ganvaara
haseenon ka gussa bhi lagta hai pyaara
udhar tum ne teer-e-nazar dil pe maara (2)
idhar hum ne bhi jaan kar chot khaayi
humi se mohabbat humi se ladaayi (check out how she stomps his foot here.. hahaha!)
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi

karo khoon yoon tum na mere jigar ka
bas ek vaar kaafi hai teerchhi nazar ka
yehi pyaar ko aazmaane ke din hai (2)
kiye jaao hum se yoon hi bewafaayi
humi se mohabbat humi se ladaayi
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi

ho oo oo... ho oo oo...

abhi na samajh ho uthaao na khanjar (2)
kahin mud na jaaye tumhaari kalaayi
arre maar daala duhaayi duhaayi

Saccha hai gar pyaar meraa sanam

It has been years since I watched this film. I remember falling in love with the music and songs of this film and had made an audio from the video as I didn't have them on a tape (audio cassette). I also remember listening to it on repeat numerous times and Mohd Rafi's "O Priya!" of "kaun hai jo sapnon mein aaya" was the most hummed melody for me. In all that, I had completely forgotten about this romantic number.

So when I rediscovered this one, I had to remind myself of it and I wished for it to be longer than two stanzas and thanks to youtube, I actually found the enhanced audio version only to find one additional stanza and I am one happy camper!!

Shailendra sahab's beautiful words and Shankar Jaikishan's out of this world music only make it sweeter.


sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
yeh dhadkane bhi agar jaaye tham
jab bhi pukaaro sadaa denge hum

yeh ajab saa raaz hai yeh ajeeb baat hai (2)
apnaa pyaar tab se hai jab se kaaynaat hai
priya! priya!
mar ke bhi yeh pyaar hoga na kam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
hoye hoye..
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

jhoomne lagi fizaa geet gaa uthaa gagan (2)
aur hawaao ne kahaa phir kahin pe hai milan
priya! ey! priya!!
milenge do dil kahin yeh kasam?
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

kyon na saat aasmaan aaye apni raah mein (2)
saaya ban ke saath hoon main tumhaari chaah mein
badh ke rukenge ab na yeh kadam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum
sacchaa hai gar pyaar meraa sanam
honge jahaan tum wahaan honge hum

Enhanced audio with 3 stanzas:

Husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai

I think Saira Banu wears white saarees the best! Specially when she pairs them with those dangliing earrings and those boat-neck blouses with 3/4 sleeves. What a gorgeous way to wear a saaree.

And to top all this, Rafi sahab's voice praising her beauty. Joy Mukherjee also looks so handsome in red shirt.

I adore the music of this one along with the lyrics, which only makes me wish for the song was longer than just two stanzas. It's injustice to us listeners.


(husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai) (2)

[notice how many instruments play here!! it's amazing..]

haaye inn pyaar mein doobi hui aankhon ki kasam (2)
aadmi kyaa hai farishton ke bahek jaaye kadam (2)
bin peeye mujhpe nashaa chhaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai
husn se chaand bhi sharmaaya hai
teri soorat ne gazabdhaaya hai

muskuraaye jo tere lab to bahaaren aayi (2)
khil gaye phool badi deri jahaan par chhaayi (2)
toone gulshan meraa mehkaaya hai
