Tumul kolahal kaleh mein...

It was a few months back that I had heard this song for the first time. Darshana aunty was the one who first mentioned it. She grew up living next door from Jaidevji and he was her guru. It was wonderful to hear her childhood stories of how she'd go to recordings with him, how down to earth and a simple man he was and how she spent quality time with him learning music from him and being the kid next door. Lucky her! We had listened to the song on some other website that day. She explained what each stanza meant as the Hindi was too high level for me. Today, I found it on youtube and can't stop listening to it yet again. Love the shuddh Hindi in the lyrics and the out-of-this-world music. For some reason, the music here reminds me of another gem of Jaidevji's that I had discovered a few years ago: yeh neer kahaan se.


(tumul kolaahal kaleh mein
main hriday ki baat re man) (2)

vikal ho kar nitya chanchal (2)
khojati jab neend ke pal
vikal ho kar nitya chanchal
khojati jab neend ke pal
chetanaa thak si rahi
chetanaa
chetanaa thak si rahi tab
main malay ki baat re man (2)
tumul kolaahal kaleh mein
main hriday ki baat re man

(the flute sounds so familiar)

(cheer vishaad vileen man ki
is vyathaa ke timeer van ki) (2)
main ushaa si jyoti rekhaa
main ushaa si
main ushaa si jyoti rekhaa
kusum vikasit praat re man (2)
tumul kolaahal kaleh mein
main hriday ki baat re man

jahaan maru jwaalaa dhadhakti (2)
chaatki tan ko tarasti
jahaan maru jwaalaa dhadhakti
chaatki tan ko tarasti
unhi jeevan ghaatiyon ki
unhi jeevan
unhi jeevan ghaatiyon ki
main saras barsaat re man (2)
tumul kolaahal kaleh mein
main hriday ki baat re man

(love this music)

(pawan ki praacheer mein ruk
jalaa jeevan jee rahaa jhuk) (2)
is jhulaste vishwa din ki
is jhulaste
is jhulaste vishwa din ki
main kusum ritu raat re man (2)
(tumul kolaahal kaleh mein
main hriday ki baat re man) (2)
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm..

Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu...

One of my favorite movies and its favorite songs! Love both the happy and sad versions of it. I think the singers and musician and actors definitely have to do with it. Wish they made more songs like these.

Part I:


Part II:

Mujhe neend na aaye.. mujhe chain na aaye...

One of those evergreen songs from the era when the actors and actresses were skinny and eyebrows were thicker and wearing big yellow plastic earrings was fashionable and music was nice and you can hear the tabla and flute and the cameras still stayed on actors' faces and there were no 1000+ dancers dancing behind the two of them. This one is no different and that's why it has special place in heart. The lyrics stuck and for good reason. This afternoon out of no where I started humming this one and I just had to listen to it and post it on here so that I can listen to it again on a repeat mode. :)

Golden songs of golden days! Love!


Ch: aa aa...aa aa
aa aa.. aa aa..
aa..
aa aa aa...

(love the music here)

M: mujhe neend na aaye
neend na aaye (2)
F: mujhe chain na aaye
chain na aaye (2)

M: mujhe neend na aaye ho
mujhe neend na aaye
mujhe chain na aaye
koyi jaaye zaraa dhoondh ke laaye
na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)

F: mujhe neend na aaye
mujhe chain na aaye
koyi jaaye zaraa dhoondh ke laaye
na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)

(love their silhouette here)

F: (haalat kya hai kaise tujhe bataau main
karvat badal badal ke raat bitaau main) (2)
M: (poochho zara poochho kya haal hai
haal mera behaal hai) (2)
koyi samajh na paaye
kya rog sataaye
koyi jaaye zaraa dhoondh ke laaye
na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)
F: na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)

Ch: aa aa aa...
aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa...
aa aa aa...

(some lovely flute & tabla play here)

M: (jaan se bhi pyaara mujhko mera dil hai
uss ke bina ek pal bhi jeena mushkil hai) (2)
F: tauba meri tauba kya dard hai
dard badaa bedard hai) (2)
kabhi mujhko hasaaye kabhi mujhko rulaaye
koyi jaaye zaraa dhoondh ke laaye
na jaaye kahaan dil kho gaya (4)

M: mujhe neend na aaye
neend na aaye (2)
F: mujhe chain na aaye
chain na aaye (2)

Filmein shilmein chalti thi... woh raatein ab kahaan gayi...

Best song of film Desi Boyz! That's how I like to describe it. I just got a chance to watch the movie last night and loved it. This was the song that stuck and I kept humming it while it was playing in the background for those 5-10 mins. Feel-good song of the feel-good movie. That's all I got to say. It takes me back to childhood as the lyrics say and then stay there. Describes how life used to be simpler because there was less. Less of everything. Simple. The best! As is the song. :)

PS. While searching for the lyricist, I just realized that it's all by Shahvaar Ali Khan. What a talented person! The song reminds me of "woh kaagaz ki kashti", and "give me some sunshine".


(filmein shilmein chalti thi hum gaane shaane gaate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the) (2)

fail fool ho kar hum maare shaare khaate the (2)
jeb bhi khaali hoti thi phir kahaan se himmat laate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

filmein shilmein chalti thi hum gaane shaane gaate the

(june mein tab bhi garmi thi par hum yoon kam lagte the
gaadi shaadi kab hoti thi par sadke sab apni thi) (2)

gareeb jab ek ladke pe ameer ladki marti thi
aur yeh duniya apne liye waqt nikala karti thi
waqt nikala karti thi
botal shotal peeke hum kaise khush ho jaate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

filmein shilmein chalti thi hum gaane shaane gaate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

(maacho? kitna achha tha dushman bhi tab saccha tha
haar ke jab hum girte the to hume uthane padta tha) (2)

dost bhi koyi kam na tha tum mein bhi tum na tha
woh umar kuch aisi thi ke hum se koyi kam na tha
hum se koyi kam na tha
tedhe medhe log bhi kitne seedhe saade hote the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

filmein shilmein chalti thi hum gaane shaane gaate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

fail fool ho kar hum maare shaare khaate the (2)
jeb bhi khaali hoti thi phir kahaan se himmat laate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the

(filmein shilmein chalti thi hum gaane shaane gaate the
woh raatein ab kahaan gayi jab pal bhar mein so jaate the) (3)

Audio only:

Tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love

Some songs never get old. This one is an example of that. I don't remember listening to the actual song with so much enthusiasm as I remember listening to my elder cousin brother singing it. And also, bin tere sanam was more famous than this so I sort of just bypassed this when it came to listening to the actual words and music of this one. Today, big brother shared the new picturized version of it and it was an instant love! The song reminds me of my other favorite songs from the early 90s, like jaati hoon main, kaahe sataaye kaahe ko rulaaye, and other songs of Jaan Tere Naam. I'm totally going crazy for this one now. Love Majrooh sahab's penned words and Jatin-Lalit's musical magic. I think even the singers do a good job. Listening to both the versions of the song made me realize how much technology and audio editing process have changed in last 20 years. Amazing!


M: tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love (2)
yeh aawaaz deta dil my love
tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love

aisa na jaano hum ko achaanak
tum pe yeh pyaar aa gaya
ho beeti ruto ka yeh rang hai jo
ban ke bahaar chhaa gaya
ho tum ko dekha pyaar aa gaya

tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love
yeh aawaaz deta dil my love
tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love

Chorus: aa aa aa.. aa aa aa...

F: chaaha to chaaha hum to meri jaan
waarenge tum pe jiya
ho aage hume kya kaahe ko soche
koyi bhi ho tum piya
ho tum sang jeena ho saathiya

tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love
yeh aawaaz deta dil my love
tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love

M: dekho humaari raahon mein jaanam
kya kya diye jal gaye
ho dil se nazar tak
gham ke andhere saaye jo the tal gaye
ho raste rangon mein dhal gaye

F: tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love
M: tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love
yeh aawaaz deta dil my love
Both: tum hi hamaari ho manzil my love
