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
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho) (2)
khoya khoya chaand

(this music plays at the beginning of scene at Hotel Decent in Jab We Met)

masti bhari hawaa jo chali (2)
khil-khil gayi yeh dil ki kali
man ki gali main hai khalbhali
ke unko to bulaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

taare chale nazaare chale (2)
sang sang mere woh saare chale
chaaron taraf ishaare chale
kisi ke to ho jaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

ho.. ho ho ho (2)

aisi hi raat bheegi si raat (2)
haathon mein haath hote woh saath
keh lete unse dil ki yeh baat
ab to na sataao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand

hum mit chale jinke liye
hum mit chale hai jinke liye
bin kuchh kahe woh chup chup rahe
koyi zaraa yeh unse kahe
na aise aazmaao
ho ho ho... ho ho
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
tum ko bhi kaise neend aayegi ho ho
khoya khoya chaand (6)

Aye Mohabbat Meri Duniya

Another abhinay based song with meaningful lyrics. A bit sad song but how full of emotions and expressions is this one... simply amazing! Love Waheeda Rehman so much along with Hemantda's music.


aye mohabbat meri duniya mein tera kaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri
tu na aayi thi to gham ka bhi kahin naam na tha
aye mohabbat meri duniya mein tera kaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri

jaane kyon aaj hai shikva mujhe duniya bhar se (2)
isse pehle to kisi par koi ilzaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri duniya mein tera kaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri

meri kismat ke mujhe ashq hi peene ko mile (2)
mere hisse mein mohabbat ka koi jaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri duniya mein tera kaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri

denewaale mujhe kyon toone mohabbat de di (2)
kya gham-e-ishq se pehle mujhe aaraam na tha
aye mohabbat meri duniya mein tera kaam na tha
aye mohabbat meri

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


ho ho ho... ho ho... ho ho ho...
aa ha ha aa ha aa ha ha ha ha...

ey hey hey... aa ha... aa ha...
ho ho ho... ho ho... ho ho ho...

madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai (2)
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

(raahi hoon nayaa anjaan dagar
pyaara hai badaa jeevan ka safar) (2)
nikla hoon main apni masti mein
maaloom nahin manzil hai kidhar
yeh badhte hue bechain kadam
paayenge thikaana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

(hothon pe haseen aankhon mein nami
is baat ki hai duniya mein kami) (2)
jeena bhi wohi marna bhi wohi
taqdeer sabhi ko ek mili
main jis ki kahaani dil se sunu
apna hi fasaana lagta hai
(kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai) (2)

oh ho ho.. ho ho.. ho ho ho...
ey hey hey.. hey hey... hey hey hey...

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

(pal bhar ko na hum aaraam kare
do haath hazaaron kaam kare) (2)
kismat ki shikaayat kya karna
bhagwan ko kyon badnaam kare
ek roz humaare haathon se
badalega zamaana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai
madhosh hawaa matwaali fizaa sansaar suhaana lagta hai

jo aag tumhaare dil mein lage
us aag mein mera dil bhi jale ha ha
jo aag tumhaare dil mein lage
uss aag mein mera dil bhi jale
dhanwaan ho ya nirdhan ho koyi
daata ki nazar mein ek hue
insaan se rishta insaan ka
is jag mein puraana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai

oh ho ho.. ho ho.. aa ha ha ha...
ey hey hey.. hey hey... hey hey hey...

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

(nazaren hai kahin zulfen hai kahin
har baat jawaan har baat haseen) (2)
mitataa hai mera dil mit jaaye
to apni adaayen rok nahin
andaaz jawaani kya kahiye
thokar mein zamaana lagta hai
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
samjhoge nahin kamsin ho abhi) (2)
aata hai mazaa ab jeene mein
mar jaaye hamaare dil ki lagi
dekha jo tumhe to yaad aaya
yeh dard puraana lagta hai
kar le na kisi se pyaar kahin dil apna deewaana lagta hai

oh ho ho.. aa ha.. aa ha...
oh ho ho.. aa ha.. ha ha ha...
aa ha ho.. ho ho.. aa ha...
aa ha ha.. aa ha.. ha ha ha...

Humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh

OMG! I just discovered the magic of Noor Jahan. I have to admit that all the times when Priya went gaga over this legend's voice, I never understood it. Even when I said I liked her songs, I didn't really actually listen to her magic, until today when I listened to "chaandni raaten" and this song, it completely blew me away. The way she sings and her adaa, smile, and grace are truly outstanding. The music is quite beautiful to add to this gem. it's amazing how she sings same line completely differently each time. I am in love with Noor Jahan's voice!!


(humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai) (2)
labon pe naghme machal rahe (2) (my! what buland aawaaz this lady has!)
nazar se masti chhalak rahi hai
humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai (what out of the world music plays here!)

(woh mere nazdeek mein aate aate
hayaa se ek din simat gaye the) (2)
(mere khayaalon mein aaj tak woh
badan ki daali lachak rahi hai) (2)
humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai

(sadaa jo dil se nikal rahi hai
woh sher-o-naghmon mein dhal rahi hai) (2)
(yeh dil ke aangan mein jaise koyi
ghazal ki jhanjhar jhanak? rahi rahi) (2)
humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai

(absolutely love the music here)

(tadap mere beqaraar dil ki
kabhi to un mein asar karegi) (2)
(kabhi to woh bhi jalenge is mein
jo aag dil mein dahek rahi hai) (2)
humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai
labon pe naghme machal rahe
nazar se masti chhalak rahi hai

humaari saanson mein aaj tak woh
henna ki khushbu mehek rahi hai
