Unse nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
Posted on: December 18, 2009
I have posted nearly one hundred songs composed by Madan Mohan in this blog. Madan Mohan composed music for some 700 songs in Bollywood movies so I have posted nearly 15 % of Madan Mohan’s compositions.
I just noticed that I have so far neglected “Ghazal” (1964). It was a flop movie (standard fate of Madan Mohan movies) even though the movie boasted of big actors- Sunil Dutt, Meena Kumari, etc.
The music was ofcourse out of this world.
Here is a song from this movie which is sung by Lata and Minu Purushottam. Lata sings for Meena Kumari but I am not familiar with the name of the lady who lip syncs in Minu Purushottam’s voice.
Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist. It mut be one of the very few occasions where Sahir Ludhianvi wrote lyrics for a Madan Mohan movie.
The lyrics are in Urdu and most people (including me) like such songs even though we are not clear about a few words. One such word could be Hijaab.
Hijaab= the veil that Muslim women wear on their face.
Song-Unse nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa (Ghazal) (1964) Singers-Lata, Minu Purushottam, Lyrics-Sahir Ludhianvi,MD-Madan Mohan
Lyrics
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
zindagi mein haseen inquilaab aa gayaa
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
aaa
bekhabar the umar ke taqaazon se ham
bekhabar the umar ke taqaazon se ham
hamko maaloom na thaa aise bhi din aayenge
aayinaa dekhe to aap apne se sharmaayenge
aaa
hamko maaloom na thaa aise bhi din aayenge
aayinaa
aayinaa dekhe to haay haay
aap apne se sharmaayenge
bekhabar the umar ke taqaazon se ham
aaj jaanaa ki sachmuch shabaab aa gayaa
aaj jaanaa ki sachmuch shabaab aa gayaa
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
aa
aankh jhukti hai kyun saans rukti hai kyun
aankh jhukti hai kyun saans rukti hai kyun
in sawaalon ka khud se jawaab aa gayaa
in sawaalon ka khud se jawaab aa gayaa
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
aaa
dil ke aane ko ham kis tarah rokte
dil ke aane ko ham kis tarah rokte
dil ko roka na gayaa
khud ko sambhaalaa na hayaa
baat intehaa badhi
baat ko taalaaa na gayaa
haan
dil ko roka na gayaa
khud ko sambhaalaa na hayaa
baat intehaa badhi haay
baat ko taalaaa na gayaa
dil ke aane ko ham kis tarah rokte
jispe aanaa thaa kaanaa (?) kharaab aa gayaa
jispe aanaa thaa kaanaa (?) kharaab aa gayaa
un se nazren milin aur hijaab aa gayaa
zindagi mein haseen inquilaab aa gayaa

Beautiful song and as you noted, one of the many memorable songs from Gazal (or Ghazal).
However, the video in your link seems to have been removed. Rajshri has uploaded the video on Youtube; here is the link:
