Bekhudi mein sanam...

And I'm back to my favorite decade, the 60s!! I have to admit that I love this one more for music and Shashi Kapoor and the singers' voices than the rest of the talent, if that's what we want to call it. ;) This KA music is the kind that makes the tiny hairs on the entire body stand up, specially the violins and the tabla that go off as soon as Rafi sahab starts singing in the beginning and piercing voice of Lata ji and how Papu would say, that "aashaadhi" (આષાઢી) voice of Rafi sahab! And in all that I didn't even realize that our heroine came and went in a turquoise-colored Santa outfit. I mean who gets time to look at that while that delicious looking Shashi Kapoor is around. This one is one of my favorites of him.

F: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

(Introducing the turquoise Santa!) ;)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam (2)
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

F: ho ho ho bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam
aa gaye ey ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)

M: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F: aag yeh kaisi man mein lagi hai
man se badhi to tan mein lagi hai
M: aag nahin yeh dil ki lagi hai
jitni bujhaayi utni jali hai
F: dil ki lagi na ho to kya zindagi hai
saath hum jo chale mit gaye faasle
M: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

M: khoyi nazar thi soye nazaare
dekha tumhe to jaage yeh saare
F: dil ne kiye jo dil ko ishaare
mil ke chale hum saath tumhaare
M: aaj khushi se mera dil yeh pukaare
tera daaman mila pyaar mera khila
F: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
Both: bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam

F:dil ki kahaani pahoochi zubaan tak
kis ko khabar ab pahoche kahaan tak
M:pyaar ke raahi aaye yahaan tak
jaayenge dil ki had hai jahaan tak
F:tum saath do to chale hum aasmaan tak
dil mein armaan liye laakh toofaan liye

Both: aa gaye ey ey aa gaye
aa gaye paas hum (2)
bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam (2)

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

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: 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

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

Old wine in new bottle

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
