Aap huye mere balam
Posted on: February 13, 2009
Kishore Kumar was a versatile artist. There was little he had not done in movies. He has been producer, director, actor, singer, lyricist, music director etc etc. in movies. Though most commonly, he would play actor cum singer in many movies of 1950s and 1960s, before he turned a full time playback singer in late 1960s.
In a few songs, Kishore Kumar gave playback not only for himself, for for the other actor figuring in the song as well.
On the other end of the scale, there were a few songs where Kishore was not allowed to sing even for himself. Yes, that was true. There were a few occasions when O P Nayyar, the headstrong music director could get his way even with Kishore Kumar and make him sing in the voice of some other singers.
Most such songs where Kishore Kumar was thus reduced to a mere actor from his usual actor-singer roles, had him singing in Rafi’s voice.
This song is an even more special song. Here it is not Rafi, but Manna Dey, who sings for Kishore Kumar. The movie is called “Krorepati” (1961). The song is a duet and the female voice is Lata’s.
Shailendra was the lyricist while Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.

Lyrics
Aap huye mere balam main tumhaari huyi
maan lijiye aji maan lijiye
dil ka iraada nazar ke ishaara huye
aan lijiye aji jaan lijiye
ho aap huye mere balam main tumhaari huyi
maan lijiye aji maan lijiye
ghairon ki nazron se tumko churaa loon
jee chahta hai palak me chupaa loon
ho
pyaar ki ye dori sajan mere dil se
pyaar ki ye dori sajan mere dil se
pyaar ki ye dori sajan mere dil se
jara baandh lijiye
jara baandh lijiye
ho
dil ka iraada nazar ke ishare huye
aan lijiye aji jaan lijiye
pahlu me phir jhoom kar ga raha hai
jeene ka phir se majaa aa raha hai
ho
nain mere bahke kadam ladkhaadaaye
nain mere bahke kadam ladkhadaaye
nain mere bahke kadam ladkhadaaye
mujhe thaam lijiye
mujhe thaam lijiye
ho dil ka iraada nazar ke ishaare huye
jaan lijiye aji jaan lijiye
