Bin Tere Sanam...

This time in India, I got to listen to so many of my favorite songs from the 90s that I almost felt like I was taken back to my teenage years. Thanks to Sbhai, for still keeping them all on his lappy... I not only got to listen to them but watch them too! I can't stop humming my favorite ones from back then and this one is one of them. Silly actors but what fun song it is.. oh my! I love it. The music, singing and lyrics.. all of them.


F: aa... aa aa aa aa aa..
M: hey hey hey.. hey.. hey hey hey.. aa ha
hey hey hey hey hey
F: aa aa aa.. aa.. aa aa aa aa..

M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi (2)
F: aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi (2)

M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho..
aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi (2)

M: (tere hi dam se hogi dil ki muraad poori
tere bagair jaanam hai zindagi adhoori) (2)
aye mere haseen ab na ja kahin aa meri zindagi
F: aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

F: (yeh jaan kar balam ji thaami hai teri baahen
sehni padegi sab ki kaanton bhari nigaahen) (2)
M: sab sahenge hum aur hasenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho ho ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

M: aa aa aa.. aa aa aa aa..
tum ho mere to ab hai mausam ghulaam apna
F: shabnam ne likh diya hai phoolon pe naam apna
M: tum ho mere to ab hai mausam ghulaam apna
F: ho.. shabnam ne likh diya hai phoolon pe naam apna

M: sun hawaa yehi geet ga rahi aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi
M: bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum aa meri zindagi
F: ho.. aana hi padaa sajnaa zaalim hai dil ki lagi

Naino mein badra chhaaye...

Lata Mangeshkar is God! So is Madan Mohan! And Raja Mehdi Ali Khan too. Crazy folks, this lot! They blow my mind away. What music.. what voice and lyrics just out of this world... I can't say it in words. You've just got to listen to it.


(naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le) (2)
naino mein badra chhaaye

madira mein doobi ankhiyaan
chanchal hai dono sakhiyaan
madira mein doobi *major goosebumpy music*
madira mein doobi ankhiyaan
chanchal hai dono sakhiyaan
chhalti rahengi tohe
palkon ki pyaari batiyaan
sharma ke denge tohe
madira ke pyaale
naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye

aa aa.. aa aa aa... aa aa aa...

prem deewaani hoon main
sapnon ki raani hoon main
prem deewaani
prem deewaani hoon main
sapnon ki raani hoon main
pichhale janam se teri
prem kahani hoon main
aur is janam bhi tu apna banaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye
bijali si chamke haaye
aise mein balam mohe garva lagaa le
naino mein badra chhaaye

aa aa.. aa aa aa...
aa aa.. aa aa aa... aa aa..

Ajnabi Kaun Ho Tum...

One of the songs I wish I listened to more often... it's my favorite, mostly for the music and second would have to be Lataji's singing. It's the music that gives this one the goosebumpy haunting kind of feeling to it. You have to listen to it with your car windows rolled down and you driving alone, listening to this one at a speed of 45 miles per hour on a single lane road with no traffic to know what I'm talking about.


(ajnabi kaun ho tum jab se tumhe dekha hai
saari duniya meri aankhon mein simat aayi hai) (2)
ajnabi kaun ho tum

(wow! what beautiful music plays here)

tum to har geet mein shaamil the tarannum ban ke (it sounds like santoor playing here.. such gorgeous tunes)
tum mile ho mujhe phoolon ka tabassum ban ke
aisa lagta hai ke barson se shanaas?? aayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum jab se tumhe dekha hai
saari duniya meri aankhon mein simat aayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum

khwaab ka rang haqeeqat mein nazar aaya hai
dil mein dhadkan ki tarah koyi utar aaya hai
aaj har saans mein shehnaayi si lehraayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum jab se tumhe dekha hai
saari duniya meri aankhon mein simat aayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum

koyi aahat si andhero mein chamak jaati hai
raat aati hai to tanhaayi mehek jaati hai
tum mile ho ya mohabbat mein ghazal gaayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum jab se tumhe dekha hai
saari duniya meri aankhon mein simat aayi hai
ajnabi kaun ho tum

Waadiyaan mera daaman...

So actually it happens so that in Hulchul, it is not when Kishanbhaiya/Murari arrives at Gangapur this Rafi song plays. It is when Jai and Lucky get off the bus (at 1:30:00 in this clip) this song plays. Then the song playing when Kishanbhaiya arrives (at 1:33:00 min) is different and quite inaudible so it's hard to listen.

Coming back to our song now.. wow! what a fabulous song... and it's all thanks to the RDB music & the way Rafi sahab has sung this song. Nothing else adds to it. The dhun is so catchy and echoing music out of this world! I guess this must be my favorite song too because it also falls under the most-absentmindedly-hummed category.

Sanjay Khan and Nanda are just about okay in the gorgeous melodious male solo version of the song seems a bit haunting at times. The softer romantic female version, which could actually be a duet, is picturized on Nanda and Marathi actor Kashinath Ghanekar. Note how both versions have completely different music.


M: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab churaaoge tan tum kisi baat se (2)
shaakh-e-gul chhed degi mere haath se
apni hi zulf ko aur uljaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab se milne lagi tum se raahen meri (2)
chaand sooraj bani do nigaahen meri
tum kahin bhi raho tum nazar aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman


~~~~~

M: waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge

F: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab hasegi kali rang waali koyi (2)
aur jhuk jaayegi tum pe dalai koyi
sir jhukaaye hue tum mujhe paaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

chal rahe ho jahaan is nazar se pare (2)
woh dagar to guzarti hai dil se mere
dagmagaate hue tum yehi aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

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)
