munh se mat lagaa cheez hai buri
Posted on: December 1, 2009
I have mentioned it earlier that some of the finest songs created by O P Nayyar were in movies produced by Johny Walker.
Here is a case in point. This song was not supposed to be a timeless classic. It is just a timepass fun song. Johny walker and his friends are having a party on new years eve. Johny walker is drunk along wit others and they are having a drunken revelry.
This song is a rare song where we find Rafi and Manna Dey singing a light hearted song in tandem. Rafi sings for Johny Walker, but I am not familiar with the other actor who sings in Manna Dey’s voice. Can anyone help me identify him ?
Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist.
Watching the picturisation, I observed that Johny Walker, despite playing a drunk in this song, could dance gracefully. This song is a wonderful example of graceful drunken dancing. Well, what an interesting new category I just thought about. And to see ladies in western dress dancing shows that Indian ladies were “modern” more than 50 years ago too.
This song is a gem of a song on many counts. A nice find indeed.

Lyrics
munh se mat lagaa cheez hai buri
dekh bach zaraa cheez hai buri
chhod de ye maikashi
mere hamnasheen mere hamnasheen
arre
baat mat badhaa chhod dillagi
hosh kar zaraa chhod dillagi
jhooth boltaa hai tu
maine pi nahin
maine pi nahin
ta raa raa raa ru
raa raa raa raa
ta raa raa raa ru
raa raa raa ru
degi ye dagaa phoonk degi ghar
degi ye dagaa phoonk degi ghar
mujhse naa sahi par Khudaa se dar
mujhse naa sahi par Khudaa se dar
wo gunahgaar hai jo pi le aadmi
he
munh se mat lagaa cheez hai buri
chhi chhi chhi
dekh bach zaraa cheez hai buri
chhod de ye maikashi
mere hamnasheen mere hamnasheen
ta raa raa raa ru
raa raa raa raa ru
ta raa raa raa raa ru
raa raa raa raa ru
apni raah le mujhse mat jhagad
apni raah le mujhse mat jhagad
tod doongaa dil mujhse mat akad
tod doongaa dil mujhse mat akad
are khaali-peeli chhed di hai yaad rakh buri
hoy
baat mat badhaa chhod dillagi
hosh kar zaraa chhod dillagi
jhooth boltaa hai tu
maine pi nahin
maine pi nahin
ta raa raa raa ru
raa raa raa raa ru
ta raa raa raa ruu
raa raa raa raa ru
dekh saamne hawaldaar hai
dekh saamne hawaldaar hai
gar pakad liyaa bedaa paar hai
gar pakad liyaa bedaa paar hai
jail mein kategi phir to saari zindagi
he
munh se mat lagaa cheez hai buri
dekh bach zaraa cheez hai buri
chhod de ye maikashi
mere hamnasheen mere hamnasheen
ta raa raa raa raaru
raa raa raa raa ru
ta raa raa raa raaruu
raa raa raa raa ru
jaantaa hoon main pahredaar hai
ho
jaantaa hoon main pahredaar hai
bachpane kaa ye apnaa yaar hai
bachpane kaa ye apnaa yaar hai
darne waalaa main nahin bas aaye koyi bhi
hoy
baat mat badhaa chhod dillagi
hosh kar zaraa chhod dillagi
jhooth boltaa hai tu
maine pi nahin
maine pi nahin
he
munh se mat lagaa cheez hai buri
dekh bach zaraa cheez hai buri
chhod de ye maikashi
mere hamnasheen mere hamnasheen

Two singers that I have great respect for, and all the songs these two have sung together are wonderful to listen to.
