Aah, the Yippeee sound for today. The film is from 1962 – ‘Apna Banaa Ke Dekho’. And the song – and elusive and obscure entity that I had not heard before myself. As I waded through the possible candidates, searching for the song that would complete the itinerary for the particular film, my fingers paused as this 1962 film. I was under the impression that this film would already be Yippeee’d, given the familiarity level and the comparative availability of songs. As I checked the numbers, I myself was surprised – that after six songs having been posted for this film, there still was a seventh song waiting to be brought on.
I checked the song lists, and the remaining candidate seemed so unfamiliar that it intrigued me. I tried to search for the song, but could not locate it online. Then began the search in my own collection, and lo, here was one number that I had practically forgotten. A surprising delight of a rendition by Asha Bhosle – a song that sounds like a dance song, that tells of the happiness and beauty of love fulfilled. What a lovely set of verses written by Shamsul Huda Bihari, what a wonderfully paced rhythm and melody tuned by Ravi, and what a lilting expression that has been enlivened by the voice of Asha ji.
Most of the songs of this film are quite well known, especially the first and the second ones in the following list,
The leading pair in this film are Manoj Kumar and Asha Parekh. The rest of the star cast list reads as – Nazeer Husain, Sunder, Achla Sachdev, Sajjan, Mohan Choti, Johnny Whisky, Shirley, Ram Singh, Narbada Shankar, Lakshmi and many more. The film is directed by Jagdish Narula for the banner of Chitra Sangam, Bombay. Of the seven songs in this film, four are penned by SH Bihari and three are the creation of Asad Bhopali.
This last song is surely a surprise find, a delightful gem that has been sitting obscure for all these years. It is posted now for your listening pleasure and that brings this film into the list of films Yippeee’d on our blog. Enjoy.
Song – Chaahat Ka Deewaana Dil (Apna Banaa Ke Dekho) (1962) Singer – Asha Bhosle, Lyrics – Sh Bihari, MD – Ravi
Lyrics
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
dhoondh raha hai aaj kisi ki
aankhon mein apni manzil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
dhoondh raha hai aaj kisi ki
aankhon mein apni manzil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
masti si fizaa mein chaai hai
aur pyaar mein doobi raaten hain
khushion ke taraane goonj rahe
aur naghmon ki barsaaten hain
kitni hai rangeen hamaare
armaanon ki ye mehfil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
dhoondh raha hai aaj kisi ki
aankhon mein apni manzil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
armaan ki kaliyaan khil jaayen
ye khwaab haqeeqat ban jaaye
jo dard hai meetha sa dil mein
wo dard mohabbat ban jaaye
duniya ki saari khushiaan phir
ho jaayen mujhko haasil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil
dhoondh raha hai aaj kisi ki
aankhon mein apni manzil
chaahat ka deewaana dil
ulfat ka parwaana dil

चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
ढूंढ रहा है आज किसी की
आँखों में अपनी मंज़िल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
ढूंढ रहा है आज किसी की
आँखों में अपनी मंज़िल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
मस्ती सी फिज़ा में छाई है
और प्यार में डूबी रातें हैं
खुशिओं के तराने गूंज रहे
और नग़मों की बरसातें हैं
कितनी है रंगीन हमारे
अरमानों की ये महफिल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
ढूंढ रहा है आज किसी की
आँखों में अपनी मंज़िल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
अरमान की कलियाँ खिल जाएँ
ये ख्वाब हक़ीक़त बन जाये
जो दर्द है मीठा सा दिल में
वो दर्द मोहब्बत बन जाये
दुनिया की सारी खुशियाँ फिर
हो जाएँ मुझको हासिल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
ढूंढ रहा है आज किसी की
आँखों में अपनी मंज़िल
चाहत का दीवाना दिल
उलफत का परवाना दिल
