Dekha Jo Tum Ko... Mohabbat Ho Na Jaaye

I watched this movie long back when it came out... didn't like the story or anything except for how Afty looked. :D Didn't like the fact that he played a bad guy but I think that's what gave him that stern look. In any case, he looks dashing! The songs are fun to listen to and this one being one of the nicer ones. Lisa Ray is okay to watch and can't really act.

Nice music by Nadeem Shravan and Sameer's lyrics are nothing too impressive but alright I guess. I still like it though for the music mostly and singers.


M: hey la la la la
la la la la la la...
dekha jo tum ko yeh dil ko kya hua hai
meri dhadkanon pe yeh chhaaya kya nashaa hai haan
F: dekha jo tum ko yeh dil ko kya hua hai
meri dhadkanon pe yeh chhaaya kya nashaa hai haan
M: mohabbat ho na jaaye deewaanaa kho na jaaye
sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa
F: mohabbat ho na jaaye deewaanaa kho na jaaye
sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa

M: dekha jo tum ko yeh dil ko kya hua hai
F: meri dhadkanon pe yeh chhaaya kya nasha hai haan

M: bheegi bheegi alkon se chori chori palkon se
kyon mera sapna churaaye
jhuki jhuki ankhiyon se dheere dheere batiyon se
kyon mujhe apna banaaye
F: meri nazaron pe chhaaya khushboo ke jaise aaya
mera tan-man mehkaaye
saanson mein yeh pal pal jaane kaise hulchul
kuchh bhi samajh mein na aaye
F: sharaarat ho na jaaye mohabbat ho na jaaye
sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa
M: sharaarat ho na jaaye mohabbat ho na jaaye
sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa

F: meri hai yeh mushkil ab to yeh mera dil
bas mein huzoor nahin hai
itna bataa de mujhe kaise samjhaau tujhe
mera yeh kasoor nahin hai
M: chaahe hum chaahe bhi to pehre lagaaye bhi to
kaise din raat ko roke
aag bina yeh jale zor na koyi chale
kaise jazbaat ko roke
M: yooh chaahat ho na jaaye mohabbat ho na jaaye
F: sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa
M: mohabbat ho na jaaye deewaana kho na jaaye
sambhaaloon kaise is ko mujhe tu bataa aa

Haaye Re Woh Din Kyon Na Aaye

Such a beautiful song.. mom would always hum this one ever since I was a kid, now I know why. The raag is so addicting. And it did remind me of "kaahe tarsaaye" of Chitralekha. That's because both are based on same raag. :)

I think the person who the song is picturized on is Leela Naidu. So very beautiful looking lady and Balraj Sahani looks quite handsome.

I wonder whether the music director is same as Pt. Ravi Shankar... may be not. Shailendra's lyrics touch heart through Lataji's voice, which travels like an arrow from the bow.


haaye re woh din kyon na aaye (2)
jaa jaa ke ritu (2) laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye

jhilmil woh taare kahaan gaye saare (2)
man baati jale bujh jaaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye
jaa jaa ke ritu laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye

sooni meri beenaa sangeet binaa (2)
sapnon ki maalaa murjhaaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye
jaa jaa ke ritu laut aaye
haaye re woh din kyon na aaye

Mujhe tum se kuch bhi na chaahiye

My parents grew up listening to this one so the first time I had heard this one was from them when we played antakshari. I really like the song a lot for the lyrics are absolutely beautiful. Watched it for the first time today and now it's making me want to watch the movie too...

Every once in a while I get stumped to read such lyrics and wonder how and when the lyricist wrote them. It'd be nice to know more about that.

The voice of Mukesh was created for Raj Kapoor songs, I think. Well, no I take that back, it was actually created for the Ramayan he sang (which is my most favorite singing of Mukesh), but this one is quite wonderful to listen to as well. :)


mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye
mujhe mere haal pe chhod do (2)
meraa dil agar koyi dil nahin
use mere saamane tod do (2)
mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye

(main yeh bhool jaaungaa zindagi
kabhi muskuraayi thi pyaar mein) (2)
main yeh bhool jaaoongaa meraa dil
kabhi khil uthaa thaa bahaar mein
jinhe is jahaan ne bhula diya
mera naam unn mein hi jod do (2)
mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye
mujhe mere haal pe chhod do (2)
mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye

(tumhe apnaa kehne ki chaah mein
kabhi ho sake naa kisi ke hum) (2)
yehi dard mere jigar mein hai
mujhe maar daalegaa bas yeh gham
main woh gul hoon jo na khila kabhi
mujhe kyon na shaak se tod do (2)
mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye
mujhe mere haal pe chhod do (2)
mujhe tum se kuchh bhi naa chaahiye

Tumhi Mere Mandir Tumhi Meri Pooja

What a lovely song! As they say the husband is the world for his wife regardless of how and what he is, or should I say for the ideal couple. ;) Lataji got filmfare award for playback singing for this song in 1965. This I found out while I was searching for what raag this song is based on. Why not? It's just so beautiful song and no one would have been able to do justice to this music and lyrics.

And there couldn't have been a better song for it is Karva Chauth today! Enjoy.

ps. Just watched the song and oh my goodness! what a beautiful couple... Nutan looks such pretty in the pink saari and those quarter sleeved and shoulder/back covering blouses too can make someone look this fantastic in the world of skimpy clothes. And Sunil Dutt, even as a handicapped husband looks so very handsome.


(tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)) (2)
koyi meri aankhon se dekhe to samjhe
ke tum mere kyaa ho (2)
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)

(jidhar dekhati hoon udhar tum hi tum ho
na jaane magar kin khayaalon mein gum ho) (2)
mujhe dekh kar tum zaraa muskuraa do
nahin to main samajhoongi mujh se khafaa ho
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)

(tum hi mere maathe ki bindiyaa ki jhil-mil
tum hi mere haathon ke gajaron ki manzil) (2)
main hoon ek chhotisi maati ki gudiyaa
tum hi praan mere tum hi aatmaa ho
tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)

bahot raat beeti chalo main sulaa doon
pawan chhede saragam main lori sunaa doon
hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
bahot raat beeti chalo main sulaa doon
pawan chhede saragam main lori sunaa doon
tumhe dekh kar ye khayaal aa rahaa hai
ke jaise farishtaa koyi so rahaa ho

(tum hi mere mandir tum hi meri poojaa
tum hi devtaa ho (2)) (2)

Mehfil Mein Jal Uthi Shamaa

One of my favorite songs of Chitalkar & Lataji. I was quite pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picturized on Madhubala. :)


mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa
(mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye) (2)

chaaron taraf lagaaye phere phir bhi har dum door rahe
ulfat dekho aag bani hai milne se majhboor rahe
yehi sazaa hai duniya mein
yehi sazaa hai duniya mein deewaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye

marne ka hai naam mohabbat jalne ka hai naam jawaani
patthar dil hai sun ne waale kehne waala aankh ka paani
aansoo aaye aankhon mein
aansoo aaye aankhon mein gir jaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
mehfil mein jal uthi shamaa parvaane ke liye
preet bani hai duniya mein mar jaane ke liye
