Thoda sa dil lagaake dekh
Posted on: September 15, 2009
What a nice discovery this song is ! And I must thank Raja, who pointed out this song to me.
This song is from an obscure movie called “Musaafirkhaana” (1955). The movie may be obscure, but it had music by O P Nayyar. Enough said.
Here is this wonderful song. Shamshad Begam does the singing and Rafi does the humming in this song. I think I should have a separate category of such “singing-humming” songs as I found another such song a few days ago. And make no mistake, the humming is wonderful to listen to.
The song is picturised on Shammi ( known now as Shammi Aunty) and Johny Walker. It must be one of the rare occasions when Shammi aunty is seen dancing and singing in a song picturised on her. The music is so racy and the dance by the duo so graceful that anyone listening to this song and/or watching the video will feell like standing up and doing a jig or two.
Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist.
And the song ends in a classical Bollywood movie fashion too !

Lyrics
thodaa saa dil lagaa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apnaa hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam
thodaa saa dil lagaa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apnaa hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam
lalalalallala
lalalallalala
dhadkan mein tere liye naghmen bahaaron ke hain
dhadkan mein tere liye naghmen bahaaron ke hain
dil ke khazaane saare apne hi pyaaron ke hain
dil ke khazaane saare apne hi pyaaron ke hain
aa mere dil mein aa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apnaa hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam
lalalalalalala
lalalalalalala
hansne ki baaten kar le gham ke fasaane se kyaa
hansne ki baaten kar le gham ke fasaane se kyaa
ulfat se jholi bhar le tujhko zamaane se kyaa
ulfat se jholi bhar le tujhko zamaane se kyaa
duniyaa kaa gham bhulaa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apnaa hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam
lalalalaralalala
lalalalalalalala
kuchh bhi kahe zamaanaa laana na mail pyaare
kuchh bhi kahe zamaanaa laana na mail pyaare
dil ki naiyya ko liye toofaan se khel pyaare
dil ki naiyya ko liye toofaan se khel pyaare
maujon mein dagmagaa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apna hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam
thodaa saa dil lagaa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
nainon se muskuraa ke dekh
pam pam tara rara rara rara ram
meraa na ban sake agar
tara ram pam pam pam pam
apnaa hamen banaa ke dekh
tara ram pam pam pam pam

This is the song I am referring to. Thought I would post on CF but there seems to be a problem there at the moment.

Isn’t it just lovely ?
Every other day I come across songs from yesteryear and they never cease to amaze me with their melody and their freshness. Whether it is the depth of a sad song or the “chulbulapan” of a happy song, it is just such a pleasure to listen to and a treasure that lies out there unknown to many.
You are doing an amazing job, Atul, by bringing these treasures into the public eye again. The artistes may be long forgotten or gone but their art needs to be preserved for posterity.
I am sure I will come across more songs – will bring them to your notice also. Just came across a lovely “chulbula” number from Agra Road(1957).
