Kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
Posted on: December 12, 2008
This is a comedy song from “Boyfriend”, a Shammi Kapoor starrer. Shammi Kapoor dresses up like a Sikh gentleman and I must say that the disguise is in a different league than the usual Bollywood movie disguise where the hero, whether the disguise hero often looks indistinguishable from his undisguised self.
Disguised the hero may be appearance wise, but attracting the attention of other by singing a song is a habit that Bollywood heroes would do well to give up, especially when they are supposed to go incognito.
Here, Shammi Kapoor keeps asking ” kyon jee mujhe pahchaana, Oho nahin pahchaana” ( Did you recognise me, Oh, you did not! “). Come on Shammi Kapoor, you are supposed to be in disguise, so why are you expecting others to recognise you. But no, our attention seeking hero asks the same question no less than 11 time in the song lasting less than 4 minutes.

Lyrics
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
main bhi dilwaala kisi ka matwaala
jara meri bhi sun jaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
main bhi dilwaala kisi ka matwaala
jara meri bhi sun jaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
jaao na meri soorat par
ye sab hai gardish ka asar
jaao na meri soorat par
ye sab hai gardish ka asar
andar se kuch aur hoon main
aata hoon kuchh aur nazar
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
main bhi dilwaala kisi ka matwaala
jara meri bhi sun jaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana haa
oho nahin pahchaana
seedhi seedhi raah nahin
aur manzil ki chah nahi
seedhi seedhi raah nahin
aur manzil ki chah nahi
ham to hain pyaar ke parwaane
jaan gayi parwaah nahin
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
main bhi dilwaala kisi ka matwaala
jara meri bhi sun jaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
dil hai dil par marta hoon haay
baat bhi sachhi karta hoon
dil hai dil par marta hoon
baat bhi sachi karta hoon
galat na samjho aaj agar
saamne aate darta hoon haan
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
main bhi dilwaala kisi ka matwaala
jara meri bhi sun jaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
kyon jee mujhe pahchaana
oho nahin pahchaana
