Kuch dil ne kaha …Aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
Posted on: September 29, 2008
During 1960-70s, I only wanted to listen to new songs. But with Vividh Bharati, you stood no chance, and Radio Ceylon broadcasted new songs at night only on wednesday in Binaca geetmala. So most often than not, it is songs like this Lata song that I got to hear at night. These days, I would get mesmerised if I listened to this song, but those days, such songs would put me to sleep out of boredom.
Hemant Kumar was past his days and Kaifi Azmi was never a big favourite with lay public. So such songs as this Lata number were not really all that popular those days. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, one can say that this song has stood the test of time and has ended up as an evergreen song. It may not have been a hot favourite with the listeners then, but it has managed to find favour with audience who appreciate class.
This song tells us about the inner feelings of a lady. These feelings are too complicated and complex to express in words, and Kaifi Azmi does such a nice job, expressing those feelings, and that too in easy to understand words. There is no doubt that this song, like most other songs from this movie, oozes class.

song- Aisi bhi baatein hoti hain (Anupama) (1966) Singer-Lata, Lyrics- Kaifi Azmi, MD- Hemant Kumar
Lyrics
kuch bhi nahin
kuch dil ne suna, kuch bhi nahin
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
kuchh dil ne kahaa, kuchh bhi nahin
letaa hai dil angdaaiyaan, iss dil ko samajhaaye koi
armaan naa aankhen khol dein, ruswaa naa ho jaaye koi
palkon ki thandi sej par, sapnon ki pariyaan soti hain
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
kuchh dil ne kahaa, kuchh bhi nahin
dil ki tasalli ke liye, jhoothi chamak jhootha nikhaar
jeewan to soonaa hi rahaa, sab samjhe aayi hai bahaar
kaliyon se koi poochhtaa, hansti hain wo yaa roti hain
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
aisii bhi baatein hoti hain
kuchh dil ne kahaa, kuchh bhi nahin
kuch dil ne sunaa, kuch bhi nahin

I consider, Lyric of this song, to be the best ever and possibly the most complex to understand the underlying feelings expressed by a very repressed young woman – there are two songs in this one song –
One is how she feels about her life and second is what she thinks others feel about her life.
Absolutely masterpiece.

Beautiful song.
It is indeed a hidden treasure because not many know of this song. It is their loss.
