Pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
Posted on: December 7, 2008
Shankar Jaikishan were the biggest names among Bollywood music directors for nearly two decades from 1950s to 1960s. It was in 1970 that Jaikishan died. Meanwhile “Mera Naam Joker” flopped big time. All these facts meant that Shankar Jaikishan musical duo was disbanded and moreover Raj Kapoor dropped Shankar Jaikishan ( then effectively only Shankar) from his subsequent movies.
Shankar continued to compose music under the name Shankar Jaikishan. The music that was in the pipelines when Jaikishan died continued to got released in movies till 1972 or so, and this movie continued to become popular with the audience. But subsequently, Shankar on his own failed to get going and he was relegated to giving music in C grade movies.
One can lose count of the number of great Shankar Jaikishan composiytions from 1949 to 1973, but after that, there is hardly any Shankar Jaikishan song worth remembering though Shankar continued to compose music well into the 1980s.
Here is one of the rare post 1972 song composed by Shankar that can be said to be worth recalling, though this song too was not all that hot, as this song was from a C grade movie called “Mera Vachan Geeta ki Kasam” featuring Sanjay Khan and Saira Bano.
This song sung by Asha Bhonsle is hummable, but neither the movie nor the song became much popular even during those days. With the benefit of hindsight, I feel that this was an OK song.
Song- Pyar kiya nahi jaata ho jaata hai ( Mera vachan geeta ki kasam) (1974) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics- Hasrat Jaipuri, MD- Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
kabhi hansaata hai kabhi rulaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
kabhi hansaata hai kabhi rulaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
paas kya hai mere man se poocho
sapne hirni ke tan se poocho
haay haay karke guzre hain din
man ke jaawan dhadkan se poocho
haan kabhi tarsaata hai kabhi tadpaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
bairi mausam mujhko sataaye
gora badanwa mora thartharaaye
kooke hai jab koi kaalikoyal
manwa pe zulmi chhuri chhalaaye
haan kabhi man gaata hai kabhi lahraata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
daaka wo daala dil pe balam
pahli nazar pe lut gaye ham
teri rahoongi saari umar
tujhpe mitoongi teri kasam
haan kabhi banaata hai kabhi mitaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
kabhi man gaata hai kabhi lahraata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai
pyaar kiya nahin jaata ho jaata hai

This song was tuned by Jaikishan before his death. The director, (Vinod Kumar) of the film was a close friend of his.
Not a C grade film, Saira Banu was a top heroine when she was signed for the film. Sanjay too had some big hits when this film was signed. (Inteqam & Ek Phool Do Mali)
