Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa lagaa
Posted on: April 25, 2009
By late 1980s, R D Burman was struggling to get assignments, because Bappi Lahiri and Anu Malik kind of music had invaded the Bollywood music scene. And R D Burman died a rather unsung death in 1991, as limelight had deserted him by that time.
Then, in 1994, people were stunned to find some sensational songs being played on radio, loudspeakers, etc. It was as if the golden era of 1960s had come back, albeit fleetingly. The music of “1942, a love story” was composed by R D Burman and it was released after the death of R D Burman. And the music really stole the show that year.
Here is the song “ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga” from this movie. It was sung by Kumar Sanu and the lyricist was Javed Akhtar.
The song was picturised on Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala.
“1942 A love story” (1994) had six songs in it. All the songs of the movie have been covered in the blog. Here are the links of the other songs of the movie:
Kuchh naa kaho kuchh bhi naa kaho (1942 A love story)
Pyaar huaa chupke se (1942 A Love Story)
Rimjhim rimjhim rumjhum rumjhum (1942 A Love Story)
Rooth na jaana tumse kahoon to (1942 A Love Story)
Ye safar bahut hai kathin magar (1942 A Love Story)
Song-Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga (1942 A Love Story) (1994) Singer-Kumar Sanu, Lyrics- Jawed Akhtar, MD- R D Burman
Lyrics
ho oo
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
jaise khiltaa gulaab
jaise shaayar kaa khwaab
jaise ujli kiran
jaise ban mein hiran
jaise chaandni raat
jaise narmi ki baat
jaise mandir mein ho ek jaltaa diyaa
ho
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
ho
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
jaise subah kaa roop
jaise sardi ki dhoop
jaise veenaa ki taan
jaise rangon ki jaan
jaise balkhaayen bel
jaise lehron kaa khel
jaise khushboo liye aaye thandi hawaa
ho
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
ho
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa
jaise naachtaa mor
jaise resham ki dor
jaise pariyon kaa raag
jaise sandal ki aag
jaise solah singaar
jaise ras ki phuhaar
jaise aahistaa aahistaa badhtaa nashaa
ho!
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa!
ek ladki ko dekhaa to aisaa lagaa!

हो ओ …
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे खिलता गुलाब
जैसे शायर का ख्वाब
जैसे उजली किरण
जैसे बन में हिरन
जैसे चाँदनी रात
जैसे नरमी की बात
जैसे मन्दिर में हो एक जलता दिया
हो
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा!
हो
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे सुबह का रूप
जैसे सर्दी की धूप
जैसे वीणा की तान
जैसे रंगो की जान
जैसे बलखाएं बेल
जैसे लहरों का खेल
जैसे खुशबू लिए आए ठण्डी हवा
हो
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
हो
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे नाचता मोर
जैसे रेशम की डोर
जैसे परियों का राग
जैसे संदल की आग
जैसे सोलाह सिंगार
जैसे रस की फुहार
जैसे आहिस्ता आहिस्ता बढ़ता नशा
हो!
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा!
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा!

What a wonderful collection!!
You deserve a huge round of applause.
I am humbled to the core by seeing your collage of great songs.
My friends call me the undisputed king of bollywood since i remember all the facts about movies. I am a complete movie buff.
I would like to point out that R.D. Burman died on 4th january 1994 & not in 1991. His assistant manohari lal along with a friend of his gave final touches to the movie.
Thank you.
