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

Thehriye hosh mein aa loon...

I don't know the definition of romance but I'd say it'd be something that this one describes, or makes one feel. The music gives me goosebumps. What is the instrument that plays tick-tocking sound in between the stanzas.. I wonder It sounds like how those little pieces of flat stones/tiles that the boys selling water on trains would use to make noise or the beggers who used them to play music while they sang on trains.

She walking home with sabzi in basket... and him hopping around and being playful chasing her. Notice how he touches her shoulder while singing "door ki chaahat" and then later her nose after "apni taqdeer banaa loon" and she smiling away with shyness with her long tresses covering her face... waah!

OMG! What sweet voice Suman Kalyanpur has. And Rafi sahab's voice so full of mischief and so unique to match Shashi Kapoor's voice. All of these things with the lyrics make it one of my favorite romantic melodies.

And this also adds one more entry to the boat songs collection! :)


M: thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

M: kab talak rahiyegaa yoon door ki chaahat ban ke (2)
dil mein aa jaaiye iqraar-e-mohabbat ban ke
apni taqdeer banaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
F: uh huh
M: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

F: mujhko iqraar-e-mohabbat se hayaa aati hai (2)
baat kehte hue gardan meri jhuk jaati hai
dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: uh huh
F: dekhiye sir ko jhukaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
M: haaye... aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

aisi kya sharm zaraa paas to aane bhi de (2)
rukh se bikhari hui zulfen to hataane bhi de
pyaas aankhon ki bhuja loon to chale jaaiyegaa
thehriye hosh mein aa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
hm hm hm... la la la...
Both: aap ko dil mein bithaa loon to chale jaaiyegaa
aap ko dil mein bithaa loon

Dil-E-Betaab Ko Seene Se

Discovered this movie and the Rafi songs in it only today. It's unbelievable I didn't know of it until today, or may be I didn't realize it.

WHOA! what fantastic album... heard this one first from the collection. It's a beautifully picturized and very playful romantic song. It's so cute they have one of those tiny toy phones made out of two cups that they're holding while they sing. :)


M: dil-e-betaab ko seene se lagaanaa hogaa
aaj pardaa hai to kal saamne aanaa hogaa
F: aap ko pyaar kaa dastoor nibhaanaa hogaa
dil jhukaayaa hai to sir ko bhi jhukaanaa hogaa
M: dil-e-betaab ko seene se lagaanaa hogaa

M: apni soorat ko tu aye jaan-e-wafaa yoon na chhupaa
garmi-e-husn se jal jaaye na aanchal teraa
lag gayi aag to mujh ko hi bujhaanaa hogaa
F: dil jhukaayaa hai to sir ko bhi jhukaanaa hogaa
M: dil-e-betaab ko seene se lagaanaa hogaa

F: aaj aalam hai jo dil kaa woh bataaye na bane
paas aaye na bane door bhi jaaye na bane
main hoon madhosh mujhe hosh mein laanaa hogaa
M: aaj pardaa hai to kal saamne aanaa hogaa
F: aap ko pyaar kaa dastoor nibhaanaa hogaa

F: aap to itne kareeb aa gaye allaah taubaa
M: kyaa karen aap se takaraa gaye taubaa taubaa
F: ishq in baaton se rusvaa-e-zamaanaa hogaa
M: dil-e-betaab ko seene se lagaanaa hogaa

Baad Muddat Ke Yeh Ghadi Aayi

For the first time I got to listen to this extra long version of the song. It's fantastic!

M: (baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi) (2)
ishq mar mar ke kaamayaab hua
aaj ek zarraa aaftaab hua (2)

F: shukriyaa hai huzoor aane kaa (2)
waqt jaagaa gareeb-khaane kaa
ek zamaane ke baad eid hui
eid se pehle meri eid hui (2)

M: eid kaa chaand aaj dekhaa hai
eid kaa kyon na aitbaar aaye
haath utha kar duaa yeh kartaa hoon
eid phir aisi baar-baar aaye (2)

F: ishq ka hi koyi khuda hoga
aur jo hoga to sun raha hoga
eid aisi kabhi na aayegi
saath jo aap ko na laayegi (2)

M: din zamaane kaa raat apni hai
is ghadi kaayanaat apni hai
ishq par husn ki inaayat hai
mere pehloo mein meri jannat hai (2)

F: faasale waqt ne mitaa hi diye
dil tadapte hue milaa hi diye
kaash is waqt maut aa jaaye
zindagaani pe aake chhaa jaaye (2)

M: aap jab mere paas hote hai
chaand taare udaas hote hai

F: shola-e-ishq jab bhadakta hai
to khuda ka bhi dil dhadakta hai

M: ishq ko to khuda banata hai
khauf phir kis liye woh bhata? hai

F: ishq apna na kaam kaaj aaye
to khudaai bhi maat kha jaaye (2)

Both: baad muddat ke yeh ghadi aayi
aap aaye to zindagi aayi
