Adaayen jab hon latkedaar
Posted on: July 1, 2009
This is a song from a 1958 movie called “Khota Paisa”. It is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. If one listens to the song, it appears a quintessential O P Nayyar tune.
When one looks at the details ( which are difficult to find out, incidentally), then it turns out that the music director is not O P Nayyar but Madan Mohan ! And the lyricist is Rajinder Krishan.
Those were the days when Madan Mohan had yet to carve a niche as king of ghazals. In any case, those were the days when O P Nayyar was the hottest music director in the industry and so Madan Mohan may have decided to ape his style.
And this is a lovely O P Nayyarish tune too.
This song was picturised on Johny Walker and Shyama.

Lyrics
adaayen jab hon latkedaar
nigaahen bhi hon jhatkedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
raseele nain musaafir maar
ho baaten jiski lachchedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
ho ho ho
hoy
akal ki andhi duniya samjhe pyaar ko khota paisa
ye na jaane waqt pade par kaam ye aaye kaisa
he
akal ki andhi duniya samjhe pyaar ko khota paisa
ye na jaane waqt pade par kaam ye aaye kaisa
koyi laakh kare inkaar
magar jab haath pakad le yaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
adaayen jab hon latkedaar
nigaahen bhi hon jhatkedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
ho ho ho
hoy
wo pyaar na karte to kya karte
pyaar kiya to achha
seedhi saadi baat hai jabki
ek se do hai achcha
pyaar na karte to kya karte
pyaar kiya to achcha
seedhi saadi baat hai jabki
ek se do hai achcha
aji ham to hain tayyar
ho do ka naam hi jodidaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
raseele nain musaafir maar
ho baaten jiski lachchedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
ho ho ho
hoy
ho bhala pyaar ka jisne aakar dil me ki deewaali
arre de gayi mujhko bhi phuljhadiyaan ek dupattewaali
ho bhala pyaar ka jisne aakar dil me ki deewaali
arre de gayi mujhko bhi phuljhadiyaan ek dupattewaali
kabhi wo pahne chudidaar
kabhi zaalim kaali shalwaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
raseele nain musaafir maar
ho baaten jiski lachchedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
adaayen jab hon latkedaar
nigaahen bhi hon jhatkedaar
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale
shabba
to bachke jaayen kahaan dilwaale

I had an exchange with a Madan Mohan fan about him being influenced by O P Nayyar, but he argued that the similarity between them is because both came from Punjab and had the Punjabi rhythm in them. Madan Mohan composed great gazals such as “Yun hasaraton ke daag” and “Un Ko yeh shikayat hai” for Adalat that also came out in 1958. That film also had Dupatta Mera Malmal Ka, which has the O P Nayyar feel. However, I am less sure now about the validity of the claim that he “aped” O P Nayyar. Perhaps, both happened to use the same style at that time. The main difference is that O P Nayyar had one dominant style whereas Madan Mohan had a wide range as you have shown in the Sanjog or Chacha Zindabad songs of that period and his songs from later years.
