Jinhen ham bhoolna chaahen
Posted on: January 7, 2009
This often happens with me. I listen to songs of a movie I know little about, and then find out that the movie contained one outstanding song after another.
There were many such movies, especially those that were produced in 1960s and 1970s. Movies like “Kaajal”, “Dosti”, “Dil ne phir yaad kiya”,”Anokhi raat”, “Adhikaar”, “Samadhi”… etc etc. were some of the examples.
Another movie like that where little is known about the movie or its actors but the movie boasted of awesome songs has to be “Aabroo” (1968). This movie has great songs coming out one after other as if rolling off an assembly line.
Most songs in this movie are sung by Rafi, and they are all outstanding songs. But there is one song that is sung by Mukesh, and it has to be regarded as an iconic Mukesh song.
This song “Jinhe ham bhoolna chaahen, wo aksar yaad aate hai” has been sung by Mukesh with his characteristic midas touch.G L Rawal has written such a beautiful song. Sonik Omi, who created wonderful music whenever they got an opportunity to work as independent music directors have shown their calibre in this song as they always did.

Lyrics
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
buraa ho is mohabbat kaa
buraa ho is mohabbat kaa
wo kyun kar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
bulaayen kis tarah unko kabhi pi thi un aankhon se
bulaayen kis tarah unko kabhi pi thi un aankhon se
kabhi pi thi un aankhon se
chhalak jaate hain jab aansoo
chhalak jaate hain jab aansoo
wo saagar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
kisi ke surkh lab the yaa diye ki lau machalti thi
kisi ke surkh lab the yaa diye ki lau machalti thi
diye ki lau machalti thi
jahaan ki thi kabhi poojaa
jahaan ki thi kabhi poojaa
wo manzar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
rahe ai shammaa tu roshan duaa detaa hai parwaanaa
rahe ai shammaa tu roshan duaa detaa hai parwaanaa
jinhe qismat mein jalnaa hai
jinhe qismat mein jalnaa hai
wo jal kar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
buraa ho is mohabbat kaa
buraa ho is mohabbat kaa
wo kyun kar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen wo aksar yaad aate hain
jinhen ham bhoolnaa chaahen

This movie is fresh in my mind. I saw it a little over a week ago.
Nice songs. A storyline that I rate 8 or 9 on 10.
And acting that I would rate 0 on 10.
And that spoils it all.

Thanks for posting. Just two words are wrong. Instead of Bulayeen Ki Tarah Unko, the word id Bhulayen (to forget) Kis Tarah….. And instead of Manzar Yaad aate hai, it’s Mandar (Temple) yaad aate hai. Jahan Ki thi kabhi pooja, woh mandar yaad aate hai…….
