Yeh raat bheegi bheegi...

It's the evergreen music and lyrics that keep this one alive, oh wait.. it's the singers too! :) Can't forget them, can we?

Songs of this film were one of the first ones I remember listening to as a child and I think that's what keeps them so close to heart.

I adore Nargis in this one... so simple and so beautiful.


M: (yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara) (2)

F: aa aa aa aa.. aa aa aa...
kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

(what fun music!)

M: ithalaati hawaa neelam sa gagan
kaliyon pe yeh behoshi ki nami
aise mein bhi kyon bechain hai dil
jeevan mein na jaane kya hai kami

F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara

(Notice how all of a sudden it changes to haunting music here!)

F: jo din ke ujaale mein na mila
dil dhoondhe aise sapne ko
ek raat ki jag-mag mein doobi
main dhoondh rahi hoon apne ko

M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

(got goosebumpy music?)

M: aise mein kahin kya koyi nahin
bhoole se jo hum ko yaad kare
F: ek halki si muskaan se jo
sapnon ka jahaan aabaad kare

M: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara
F: kyon aag si lagaake gum-sum hai chaandni
sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara
Both: yeh raat bheegi bheegi yeh mast fizaayen
utha dheere dheere woh chaand pyaara pyaara

Yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum...

One of the best scenes of the film with superb dialogs! It is one of my favorite scenes of the film where Nawaab sahab (Ashok Kumar) actually thinks bad of his friend, Anwar (Rajendra Kumar) but reality is something completely different and how at the end of a-minute-long conversation between Husna and Anwar leaves him speechless and feeling guilty. It's amazing and they've picturized it so well. What top-notch acting by all the actors!

I'm so happy this clip just includes this scene and the beautiful song that follows. Of course, it's hard to choose just one song from this one as each and everyone is fabulous but this one does get a little higher score for having out-of-the-world music, meaningful touchy lyrics and the gorgeous couple with great on-screen chemistry!


M: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

F: jab se toone nigaah pheri hai
din hai soona to raat andheri hai
chaand bhi ab nazar nahin aata
ab sitaare bhi kam nikalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: loot gayi woh bahaar ki mehfil
chhut gayi hum se pyaar ki manzil
zindagi ki udaas raahon mein
teri yaadon ke saath chalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

F: tujhko paa kar hume bahaar mili
tumjhse chhutkar magar yeh baat khuli
baagbaan bhi chaman ke phoolon ko
apne pairon se khud masalte hai

yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai

M: kyaa kahe tujhse kyon hui doori
hum samajhte hai apni majhboori
tujhko maaloom kyaa ke tere liye
dil gham aansuo mein dhalte hai

F: yaad mein teri jaag jaag ke hum
raat bhar karvate badalte hai
har ghadi dil mein teri ulfat ke
dheeme dheeme chiraag jalte hai

Saiyaan chhodo mori baiyaan

Felt like listening to some thumris today. Since I haven't listened to too many of them, I don't have a list but this one is my most favorite one of all that I've listened to. When you listen to this one, you get transported into what is called the tabla-heaven!! Experience it for yourself.

Absolutely love Richa Sharma's voice!

In the film, it plays very briefly and in background. Can't believe they didn't play more of it during the film.


aa aa aa...
aa aa.. aa aa aa..
saiyaan
saiyaan chhodo mori baiyaan saiyaan (2)
saiyaan haaye chhodo na mori
haaye chhodo mori baiyaan

maano bhi kanhaai hogi jag-hasaai (2)
dekho dekho..
dekh rahi hai saari guiyaan dekho saiyaan
chhodo.. saiyaan chhodo mori baiyaan saiyaan
chhodo re mori baiyaan
chhodo na mori baiyaan saiyaan

choodi jo koyi tooti maathe se bindiya chhuti
haaye
choodi jo koyi tooti maathe se bindiya chhuti
ghar kyaa bataaungi main haaye mar jaaungi main (2)
jaane do mohe kaanha kaanha ji ore kaanha
jaane do mohe kaanha re
jaane do jaane do mohe kaanha
saiyaan chhodo na mori baiyaan
chhodo mori baiyaan haaye
chhodo na mori haaye
chhodo mori baiyaan saiyaan
chhodo na mori baiyaan. haaye saiyaan
chhodo baiyaan.. haaye baiyaan

Video clip from film, song starts around 8:50 min.

Aap ki aankhon mein kuchh...

What a gorgeous song! Almost everything except for that smoking and him blowing dhua in her face *disgusting* but I'll overlook that for a bit. What a fun song otherwise. Absolutely love the singers, lyrics and music and both actors. I do have to admit that the lyrics take the cake here, for me at least.

How handsome does Vinod Mehra look. No wonder Rekha fell in love with him. Anyone would. And she too looks absolutely lovely and so simple in the most simple saaris.


M: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai (2)
aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

(love the music that plays here)

lab hile to mogare ke phool khilte hai kahin (2)
aap ki aankhon mein kya saahil bhi milte hai kahin
aap ki khaamoshiyaan bhi aap ki aawaaz hai

F: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

aap ki baaton mein phir koyi sharaat to nahin (2)
bewajaah taareef karna aap ki aadat to nahin
hehehe
aap ki badmaashiyon ke yeh naye andaaz hai

M: aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai
F: ho aap se bhi khoobsoorat aap ke andaaz hai
aap ki aankhon mein kuchh mehke hue se raaz hai

Aankhon Mein Base Ho Tum

This is one of my favorites from 15 years ago... almost relived my HSc year listening to this song. Super fun songs were back in that era and nice to even watch. Love the clapping sort of sound that plays in the background that makes you want to start swaying your shoulders and start tapping your feet. Anu Malik surely knows how to make catchy music. The singers are also pretty good, I do like Alka's voice better though. And I completely adore Sunil Shetty in this one and Sonali also, but her outfits more. ;) Don't they look so very extremely cute together?!

For some strange reason, Sonali tugging on Sunil Shetty's camera strap reminds me of Asha Parekh tugging on the strap of Shammi Kapoor's bag in o mere sona re. How random!

Must listen to more of Maya Govind's poetry.


M: hey ey.. ho oo.. (2)
F: la lah lah la la
la la la la la la
la lah lah la la

M: aankhon mein base ho tum
haan
aankhon mein base ho tum tumhe dil mein chhupa loonga (2)
jab chaahu tumhe dekhu aaina banaa loonga

hey ey.. ho oo.. (2)

F: aankhon mein base ho tum
haan
aankhon mein base ho tum tumhe dil mein chhupa loongi (2)
jab chaahu tumhe dekhu aaina banaa loongi
aankhon mein base ho tum tumhe dil mein chhupa loongi

F: taqdeer meri ab to taqdeer tumhaari hai
jahaan dil tha kabhi mera tasveer tumhaari hai

M: yeh lab jo tere larse mere dil mein hui hulchal
mera chain churaata hai teri aankh ka kaajal

F: abhi chain churaaya hai
hey
abhi chain churaaya hai kal tumhe chura loongi (2)
jab chaahu tumhe dekhu aaina banaa loongi

M: hey ey.. ho oo.. (2)
tu paas jo mere hai kya kaam bahaaron se
yeh chamkile naina kya kaam sitaaron se

F: tere naam ki dhadkan ho tere naam ki saansen ho
ek pal na judaa ho tum aankhon mein aankhen ho

M: koyi naam-e-pataa poochhe
haan
koyi naam-e-pataa poochhe main naam tera loonga (2)
jab chaahu tumhe dekhu aaina banaa loonga
ho oo...
F: aa aa...
M: hey ey...

aankhon mein base ho tum
haan
F: aankhon mein base ho tum tumhe dil mein chhupa loongi (2)
jab chaahu tumhe dekhu aaina banaa loongi

M: hey ey.. ho oo.. (2)
