Yaad kiya dil ne kahaan ho tum
Posted on: December 18, 2008
It is a very old song, but very much a gold standard song. I have listened to this song for a long time and liked it very much. Sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata, this is such a lovely “chayageet” kind of song, ideal listening at sleep times, though one can enjoy it anytime, as befits any timeless song, which it certainly is.
Hasrat Jaipuri was the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music. This song was picturised on Dev Anand and Usha Kiran ( anyone has any idea who she was ?) and the movie was called Patita (1953). Few people may have heard of this movie, but this song has undoubtedly become an immortal song.
Song-Yaad kiya dil ne kahan ho tum (Patita) (1953) Singers-Lata, Hemant Kumar, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum

jhoomti bahaar hai kahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
o, kho gaye ho aaj kis khayaal mein
o, dil fansaa hai bebsi ke jaal mein
o, kho gaye ho aaj kis khayaal mein
o, dil fansaa hai bebsi ke jaal mein
matlabi jahaan meharbaan ho tum
yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
o, raat dhal chuki hai subah ho gayi
o, mai tumhaari yaad leke kho gayi
o, raat dhal chuki hai subah ho gayi
o, mai tumhaari yaad leke kho gayi
ab to meri daastaan ho tum
yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
o, tum hamari zindagi ke baagh ho
o, tum hamaari raah ke chiraagh ho
o, tum hamari zindagi ke baagh ho
o, tum hamaari raah ke chiraagh ho
mere liye aasamaan ho tum
yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum
jhoomti bahaar hai kahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum
pyaar se pukaar lo jahaan ho tum

This movie had a couple of other good songs too, including the one by Lata “Kisine apna banake mujhko muskurana sikhaa diya …”. All the songs in this movie seem to flow so smoothly, like wine on silk or honey. I think SJ did an outstanding job in this movie, and this must have been one of their early ones.
Hemant Kumar’s voice is so good in this song and blends so well with Lata’s, giving it a dreamy quality.
A real gem of a song!

Lovely song.
I just love it.
This movie has two Talat classics too.
“Andhe jahaan ke andhe raaste” and “Hai sab se madhur wo geet”. So , that’s like the Fab-4 in one movie.

Lots of hardwork! Just chanced upon your site and wanted to congratulate you. I’d been looking on the net to find out who the lyricist of this song was – and finally found it here. Well done – it’s a really helpful site.

Excellent song. The songs begins with a melodious harmonium sequence that is missing in your YouTube clip. AIR rarely played the song from the beginning so i heard it years later. There are several other version on YouTube that carry that piece. Give it a listen.
All the songs in the movie are well known. Each shows up repeatedly in the respective anthalogys.

Usha Kiran (I don’t know where the “Kiron” spelling came from) who I recall was a well known Marathi actress who also acted in Hindi movies. One of the early tall buildings in Mumbai was named Usha Kiran; I am not sure if it had any connection with her name.

Usha Kiran, merely means rays of dawn.
A plain and generic name. Not surprising if some cooperative housing societies use the name: “Rays of Dawn”.
