Main yaar manana ni
Posted on: November 5, 2008
Here is a Laxmikant Pyarelal song full of verve and enthusiasm. Such songs were typically the preserve of Asha Bhonsle, but this particular song has been sung by Lata and Minoo Purushottam, and the result is a song that was very popular during its days.
The picturisation is just as hectic. This song is not picturised on the leading ladies but on two bit actresses. The leading ladies (Sharmila Tagore and Rakhi) in fact are among the spectators watching this dance as is Rajesh Khanna. I can identify one of the dancers as Padma Khanna, and the other is someone called Aruna (not Aruna Irani) as informed by Greta (Memsaab). It must be said that such a vigorous dance is just the right exercise to keep in shape. Singing and dancing this song daily will certainly do a world of good to any aspiring weight loser.
Song- Main yaar manana ni (Daag) (1973) Singers-Lata, Minoo Purushottam, Lyrics-Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics
yaar hi meraa kapdaa lattaa yaar hi meraa gahnaa
yaar mile to izzat samjhun kanjri ban kar rahnaa
hmmm hmmm
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
main to baaz na aanaa ni chaahe zahar sautanen gholen
main to baaz na aanaa ni chaahe zahar sautanen gholen
ho mukhdaa uskaa chaand kaa tukdaa kadd saru kaa bootaa
mukhdaa uskaa chaand kaa tukdaa kadd saru kaa bootaa
uski baanh kaa har halkoraa lagtaa swarg kaa jootaa
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
main to baaz na aanaa ni chaahe zahar sautnen gholen
yaar mile to
o yaar mile to jag kyaa karnaa yaar binaa jag soonaa
yaar mile to jag kyaa karnaa yaar binaa jag soonaa
jag ke badle yaar mile to yaar kaa mol doon doonaa
main to nai sharmaanaa ni
main to nai sharmaanaa ni
chaahe log boliyaan bolen
chaahe log boliyaan bolen
main to sej sajaanaa ni chaahe zahar sautnen gholen
main to sej sajaanaa ni chaahe zahar sautnen gholen
thirak rahi mere pair ki jhaanjhar jhanak rahaa meraa choodaa
thirak rahi mere pair ki jhaanjhar jhanak rahaa meraa choodaa
ud ud jaaye aanchal meraa khul khul jaaye joodaa
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
main to baaz na aanaa ni chaahen zahar sautne gholen
baith akeli
ho baith akeli karti thi main deewaaron se baaten
baith akeli karti thi main deewaaron se baaten
aaj milaa wo yaar to bas gayi phir se sooni raaten
main to jhoomar paanaa ni
main to jhoomar paanaa ni
chaahe log boliyaan bolen
chaahe log boliyaan bolen
nach ke yaar rijhaanaa ni chaahen zahar sautnen gholen
nach ke yaar rijhaanaa ni chaahen zahar sautnen gholen
bichhde yaar ne pheraa daalaa preet suhaagan huyi
bichhde yaar ne pheraa daalaa preet suhaagan huyi
aaj mili jo daulat uskaa mol naa jaane koyi
ni main yaar manaanaa ni chaahe log boliyaan bolen
main to baaz na aanaa ni chaahe zahar sautnen gholen

It’s Padma Khanna all right and a dancer named Aruna (but not Aruna Irani)

Thanks for posting this wonderful song, Atul.
I can listen to this any number of times and also watch the video. Like you say, the song has a lot of verve.
Now here is a typical Atul comment, one of the reasons I check out your blog virtually everyday :
“Singing and dancing this song daily will certainly do a world of good to any aspiring weight loser.” 🙂
