Yahaan wahaan saare jahaan mein tera raaj hai
Posted on: January 27, 2009
I know an acquaintance who would casually go to a “paan” shop, buy “paan” and talk to the “paanwaala” in an UP Bhaiyya style. If he saw a Baraat coming up with the Baraatis dancing, he would nonchalantly join the Baraat and dance a few jigs himself.
When I see Rajesh Khanna movies, I find Rajesh Khanna doing the same, except that I never saw Rajesh Khanna eating “paan”. For instance, I saw Rajesh Khanna ( there were two of him in that movie) doing a jig singing “meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya” in “Saccha Jhootha”.
In “Aan Milo Sajna”, Rajesh Khanna appears out of nowhere, sings and dances with a few village girls, and after the conclusion of the song, rides on a horse and nonchalantly goes away. Our beloved Asha Parekh watches him from a distance, amused and/ or bemused, standing beside her Jeep.
And what a song it is too ! “yahaan wahaan saare jahaan mein tera raaj hai” was such a rage those days that this song stands out ( as far as I am concerned) in a movie full of outstanding songs.
Kishore kumar has sung this song with gusto, and the enthusiasm that he put behind the song can be felt every time one listens to this song.
Rajesh Khanna is at his charming best in this song. He is seen dancing ( sort of) accompanied by his trusted sidekick Junior Mahmood, who looked more like Junior Jeetendra to me.
Anand Bakshi is the lyricist, whereas such wonderful dance music could only be a composition of Laxmikant Pyarelal.
Song-Yahaan wahaan saare jahaan mein tera raaj hai (Aan Milo Sajna) (1970) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Yahan wahan saare jahaan me tera raaj hai
Yahan wahan saare jahaan me tera raaj hai
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
tere hi to sar pe muhabbat ka taj hai
tere hi to sar pe muhabbat ka taj hai
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
tu bahaaron ka ishaara
besahaaron ka sahaara
tu bahaaron ka ishaara
besahaaron ka sahaara
sar pe tere
haan haan tere
bojh hai saara
tere jawaan haathon me duniya ki laaj hain
tere jawaan haathon me duniya ki laaj hain
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
tere liye qasme nahin
qasme nahin rasme nahin
tere liye qasme nahin
qasme nahin rasme nahin
tu kisi ke
haan kisi ke basme nahin
juda sabhi rasmon se tera har rivaaz hai
juda sabhi rasmon se tera har rivaaz hai
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
peeche hai bachpan deewana
aage budhaapa sayana
peeche hai bachpan deewana
aage budhaapa sayana
saath tere
haan haan tere
hai ye zamaana
teri nazar to chaand taaron pe aaj hai
teri nazar to chaand taaron pe aaj hai
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
Yahan wahan saare jahaan me tera raaj hai
tere hi to sar pe muhabbat ka taj hai
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad
jawaani O deewani tu zindabad

Thanks for posting this, Atul.
This song is so lively and the picturisation is so good (the scenery is also really nice and lush green) that I love watching this video.
