Aur kuchh der thahar aur kuchh der na jaa

Posted on: February 26, 2010


Rajesh Khanna made his debut in “Aakhri Khat” (1966). This was a black and white movie, and this movie could well be described as a classic. This must be one of the few movies that could be called a movie with an original and different plot. At least I hope that this movie is an original and not inspired by some other movie.

I have posted a couple of songs from this movie. Here is another song from this movie, which has been described as a sensuous song par excellence. The song is sung by Rafi and it is picturised on Rajesh Khanna and Indrani Mukherji. This is a “roop tera mastaana pyaar mera deewana” genre of song, with similar outcome, if you know what I mean. 😉 It is just that the “Aradhana” song came a few years late and that had Sharmila Tagore instead of Indrani Mukherji.

This song has a sad version as well.

Here, Kaifi Azmi is the lyricist and Khayyam composed the music.

Lyrics

aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar

raat baaqi hai abhi
raat mein ras baaqi hai
paake tujhko tujhe paane ki hawas baaqi hai
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der theher

jism kaa rang fazaa mein jo bikhar jaayegaa
meharbaan husn teraa aur nikhar jaayegaa
laakh zaalim hai zamaanaa magar itnaa bhi nahin
tu jo baahon mein rahe waqt thahar jaayegaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar

zindagi ab inhin kadmon pe lutaa doon to sahi
zindagi ab inhin kadmon pe lutaa doon to sahi
ai haseen but main Khudaa tujhko banaa doon to sahi
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar

jism kaa rang fazaa mein jo bikhar jaayegaa

laakh zaalim hai zamaanaa magar itnaa bhi nahin
tu jo baahon mein rahe waqt thahar jaayegaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuchh der na jaa
aur kuchh der thahar
aur kuch na ja
aur kuchh dee theher

This movie has at least 3 good songs. This is my favorite but its partly due to the picturization. I didn’t see the similarity to Roop tera mastana except perhaps for the situation and outcome. But I haven’t seen Aakhri Khat.

Unrelated to the song, Indrani Mukherjee is so short she makes short Rajesh look tall.

Great Song. The magic of black and white is all present. Just see how a light and shade can be effectively used in black and white movie. And about the song- just superb
