Motiyon ki ladi hoon main
Posted on: June 29, 2009
In Indian culture, a man coming hard on an an unwilling woman is looked down upon and it is called “teasing”. But if a woman does it to an unwilling man, it is called “seduction”. 
Of course, Bollywood movies regard both these activities as desirable and as such we have had many “teasing” as well as “seductive” songs in Bollywood movies.
Here is a “seduction” song from “Loafer” (1973). Here Mumtaz sings and dances seductively for the benefit of Dharmendra who is not interested. The lyrics of Anand Bakshi do not beat about the bush much and reveal the intentions of the lady in no uncertain terms. And Laxmikant Pyarelal come up with their usual lilting music.
It is yet another memorable song out of so many such wonderful songs that this movie contained.
Song-Motiyon ki ladi hoon main (Loafer) (1973) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics
motiyon ki ladi hoon main
phulwa ki kadi hoon main
re sundar pari hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
motiyon ki ladi hoon main
phulwa ki kadi hoon main
re sundar pari hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
bechain hoon kitni der se
baitha hai tu nigaahen kyun pher ke
jara saa to mujhe dekh chhed ke
bechain hoon kitni der se
baitha hai tu nigaahen kyun pher ke
jara saa to mujhe dekh chhed ke
main bhadak gayi to phir aag na bujhegi
ik phuljhadi hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
motiyon ki ladi hoon main
phulwa ki kadi hoon main
re sundar pari hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
main kaun hoon teri pyaas hoon
husn ki main adaa ek khaas hoon
aaj kismat se main tere paas hoon
main kaun hoon teri pyaas hoon
husn ki main adaa ek khaas hoon
aaj kismat se main tere paas hoon
main nikal gayi to phir haath nahin aaungi
aisi ghadi hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
motiyon ki ladi hoon main
phulwa ki kadi hoon main
re sundar pari hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
duniya bhulaaye ankhiyaan bichhaaye
kabse khadi hoon main
