Har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai...

I wanted to post this one since a few days since Rajani requested it.

What I like the most about this one is the lyrics. So full of feelings and have such a divine description... Mannada's voice is soulful. I also had a wonderful time watching Raj Kumar in it. Wish it was someone else other than Priya Rajvansh. I don't know why they kept bringing these two in movies together. She must know some big shots to be in so many movies. ;)

The song is beautiful one. Thanks, Rajani, for introducing me to this gem. Please do suggest more of your favorite ones.


har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

itni sacchaai hai in aankhon mein
khote sikke bhi khare ho jaaye
tu kabhi pyaar se dekhe jo udhar
sukhe jangal bhi hare ho jaaye
baag ban jaaye (2) jo veeraane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

ek halkaa saa ishaaraa in kaa
kabhi dil aur kabhi jaan lootegaa
kis tarah pyaas bujhegi us ki
kis tarah us kaa nashaa tootegaa
jiski kismat mein (2) yeh paimaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai

neechi nazaron mein hai kitnaa jaadu
ho gaye pal mein kayi khwaab jawaan
kabhi uthane kabhi jhukne ki adaa
le chali jaane kidhar jaane kahaan
raaste pyaar ke (2) anjaane hai
hum teri aankhon ke deewaane hai (2)
har taraf ab yehi afsaane hai (2)

Meraa pyaar woh hai...

The collection on my ipod finally got replenished with new songs. Not literally new, but new for me. This is one of those gems that I'm totally hooked to since this evening. Wow! what a marvelous and romantic song.. it's been a while since I listened to one of these. It reminds me of tumhara chahnewala khuda ki duniya mein, may be because it's by the same singer and same musician and same lyricist and picturized on the same actor? whoa.. it's like they tried to recreate magic and it worked. It's the other way around actually. This one came first and then the song from Kahin Din Kahin Raat.

Audiowise both songs are super romantic and make me want to listen to them over and over again, but I do prefer watching b/w clip with the dimpled, very young, and extremely expressive Sharmila in it (I think I will forgive her for not wearing her signature blouse with a knot in the back ;)) than some random actress. Moreover, I am partial to the filming that takes you on a tour of facial features of actors.

Mahendra Kapoor is wonderful in this one and now I have one more song of his to add to my favorites collection. Can't praise the music enough and lyrics as always are absolutely crazy, but likable or so I find. :)


(meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa) (2)
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(what out of this world music plays here!)

zamaana to karvat badalta rahegaa
naye zindagi ke taraane banenge
mitegi na lekin mohabbat hamaari
mitaane ke sau sau bahaane banenge
haqeeqat hameshaa haqeeqat rahegi
kabhi bhi na is kaa fasaana banegaa
meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

(absolutely love the flute playing here)

tumhe chheen le meri baahon se koyi
meraa pyaar yoon besahaara nahin hai
tumhaara badan chaandani aa ke chhu le
mere dil ko yeh bhi ganwaara nahin hai
koyi bhi agar tum se aa ke mile to
tumhaari kasam hai meraa dil jalegaa

meraa pyaar woh hai ke mar kar bhi tum ko
judaa apni baahon se hone na degaa
mili mujhko jannat to jannat ke badle
khudaa se meri jaan tumhe maang legaa
meraa pyaar woh hai

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

Sharm aati hai magar...

One of my favorite songs of Saira Banu. Of course, it's not only her who makes it so but all other artists that make this one what it is, a gem that is. Absolutely love the music and lyrics of this one along with the singer! It's fun to watch it as well.

Today happens to be Saira Banu's birthday as well so wishing her lots of happiness, health and all that is beautiful just as she is. :) As I've said in the past too, this woman knows how to wear white sarees the best! I love that about her.


sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga (2)
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar

aap se rooth ke hum jitnaa jiye khaak jiye (2)
kayi ilzaam liye aur kayi ilzaam diye
aaj ke baad magar kuchh bhi na kehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga

(absolutely love the music here)

der ke baad yeh samjhe hai mohabbat kyaa hai
ab hume chaand ke jhoomar ki zuroorat kyaa hai
pyaar se badhke bhalaa kaun sa gehna hoga (what beautiful eyes she has got in this part of the clip)
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga

aap ke pyaar ka beemaar hamaara dil hai (2)
aap ke gham ka khareedaar hamaara dil hai
aap ko apna koyi dard na sehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehna hoga

sharm aati hai magar aaj yeh kehnaa hoga
ab hume aap ke kadmon hi mein rehnaa hoga
sharm aati hai hm hm hm...

Video clip from film (see from 3:15 min)


Audio with all three stanzas (some other singer):

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
