Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 31
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Reuse phenomena is quite a prevalent feature in Hindi cinema. We are already at the 31st episode of this series, and I must say we have just scratched the surface. There are reuse songs, there are partial reuse songs, there are medleys of songs, and even in some cases, there is a wholesale reuse in the entire film. A great example is the 2002 film ‘Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar’. Bharat Shah, the producer of this film is an out and out die hard fan of Pancham Da, and this film showcases a dozen earlier hit songs of RD Burman.
Another such set of reuse albeit in snippets only, also happened in the 1982 film ‘Adhaarshila’. The producer director Ashok Ahuja has accommodated half a dozen or so songs from the golden era in the film, which is a film about making a film.
A more recent happening is the weather beaten but still fresh, Romeo and Juliet based love story – the 2023 film by Karan Johar – ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’. This film has a very interesting twist to the original tale – two people in love are not able to join forces in life, and are forced to lead separate life stories. Quite an interesting twist happens when their respective grand children fall in love with each other, initially blessed with the ignorance of the family’s histories and the unsuccessful involvement of their grand parents two generations earlier. Karan Johar seems to be quite smitten with the music of the 50s, 60s and 70s – he has weaved into the film’s story no less than a dozen songs of yesteryear. All songs are snippets one to two minutes long. But a very interesting reuse nonetheless, that makes the film more enjoyable.
However, the difficult part is that the reuse songs are not credited in the information about the film. One has to dig for them, and if lucky, one comes across these reuse gems. There is a very interesting episode behind this find also, and I must thank Nalini ji for it. Recently, she shared with me part of a discussion happening on the ASAD WhatsApp group. The film under discussion was the 1975 ‘Prem Kahani’. And the discussion was on a song being played on the radio in this film, which does not seem to be from a Hindi film. The song, sounding strikingly familiar, is “Kuchh Bhi Na Kaha Aur Keh Bhi Gaye”. The original song is from the 1962 Pakistani film ‘Azra’. The song is written by Tanvir Naqvi and the music is composed by Master Inayat. The singing voice is that of the legendrary Noorjehaan, picturised on actress Neelo. Certainly a song to be treasured. So on the group, the discussion was resolved with a little bit of research, and it was declared that this is song from a Pakistani film.
Nalini ji shared this discussion on the side with me. And surely, it prompted me to take a look. So pulling out the film ‘Prem Kahani’ from my hard disk, I started to scan the film slowly to locate this Pakistani song being played on the radio. But then another discovery was sitting on the way. Before I reached the song I was looking for, I bumped into this song snippet – a replay of the iconic Manna Dey song from the 1961 film ‘Kabuliwaala’. Vinod Khanna, playing the role of Sher Khan, a pathaan truck driver, sings this song on screen, and in his own voice, while driving his vehicle.
‘Prem Kahani’ (of 1975) is a period film that is set in pre-independence years, when the freedom struggle was at its peak. Rajesh (role played by Rajesh Khanna) is a fugitive from the British law, for having assassinated a British police officer. He is on the run with the police hot on his heels. He takes refuge in the truck of Sher Khan who saves his life, and delivers him to safety at the home of Dheeraj (role played by Shashi Kapoor), a very dear friend of Rajesh. I will not delve into the story before and after this episode, but will surely add that Sher Khan gets caught, and the police torture him to find out the whereabouts of Rajesh. Sher Khan dies in police custody but does not reveal the location where he dropped Rajesh.
When Rajesh is riding in Sher Khan’s truck, there is a bit of dialogue between them. Rajesh asks Sher Khan why is he helping him, even though they do not even know each other. Sher Khan replies – yes he does not know Rajesh, but surely he understands the meaning of freedom, and so he is helping Rajesh.
At this point, he starts to sing this song. Interestingly, the rendition is in Vinod Khanna’s own voice. Only one stanza from the original song is presented. But still, a lively rendition by him.
So another reuse of an iconic song, which remains uncredited. And for this discovery, I must thank Nalini ji.
Song – Ae Mere Pyaare Watan (Prem Kahaani) (1975) Singer – Vinod Khanna, Lyrics – Prem Dhawan, MD – Salil Chaudhry
Lyrics
ae mere pyaare watan
ae mere bichhde chaman
tujh pe dil qurbaan
tu hi meri aarzoo
tu hi meri aabroo
tu hi meri jaan
maa ka dil banke kabhi seene se lag jaata hai tu
aur kabhi nanhi si beti ban ke yaad aata hai tu
jitna yaad aata hai tu
utana tadpaata hai tu
jitna yaad aata hai tu
utana tadpaata hai tu
tujh pe dil qurbaan

ए मेरे प्यारे वतन
ए मेरे बिछड़े चमन
तुझ पे दिल क़ुर्बान
तू ही मेरी आरज़ू
तू ही मेरी आबरू
तू ही मेरी जाँ
माँ का दिल बन के कभी सीने से लग जाता है तू
और कभी नन्ही सी बेटी बन के याद आता है तू
जितना याद आता है मुझको
उतना तड़पाता है तू
जितना याद आता है मुझको
उतना तड़पाता है तू
तुझ पे दिल क़ुर्बान
Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewaane

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 30
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Ah yes, another iconic song from the Golden Era is being reused. It no longer surprises me to continue discovering such reuse songs from the films of recent vantage. Here is this wonderful creation of Majrooh Sultanpuri and OP Nayyar Sb which is now used once again in the film ‘Bombay Velvet’ of 2015.
January is the OP Nayyar month.
Remembering OP Nayyar Sb, the maestro of melody and rhythm who literally ruled the Hindi cinema in the 1950s and 60s. Born on the 16th, he passed away on the 28th. Both memories belong to this month. If alive, he would have been 98 this month.
This song belongs to an extra special sub category of the reuse phenomena. Originally created for the super hit noir thriller ‘CID’ of 1956, it never saw the light of the projector lamp. For the reason that it was not included in the film. Yes, in the reuse category, we do occasionally come across songs which were originally created for a specific film, but eventually not included. Later after some decades, the song appeals to the producer of another film. It gets a new lease of life and gets included in another film. The original credits remain though.
It is quite incidental that I discover this reuse song, and about the same time, I also am part of a discussion on the original appearance of this song, which did not happen. Interestingly, two strikingly divergent stories/explanation were discussed. The prevalent story that people know about this song and its non-inclusion in the film, is attributed to Raju Bhartan. When I came across this reuse version, I had a brief conversation first with Bakshi ji. I was not certain whether the video version of the original was available. Bakshi ji felt that he had probably seen this video, that might have leaked out many years after the original release.
As per Raju Bhartan, the song was excluded because of censor objections. He relates in his writings, that the censors had objections to the words of the song. One part is the mukhda line – “Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewane, Sab Kuchh Yahan Hai Sanam”. Another version of the censor story is word ‘fiffy’ in the title lines. The producer tried to explain that this word in fact has no meaning. But the censors caught on to say that it is then all the more suspicious that this is an obscene and objectionable word. And so the censor scissors did the needful.
Then a second background story, a new (for me), of the reason behind exclusion was shared. This was shared by Peeyush Sharma ji, who is currently settled in Canada. He shared a conversation he had many years ago in Bangalore, with Shri VK Murthy. Murthy ji was the cinematographer of ‘CID’, and he had a different tale to tell.
This song was supposed to be picturized on Waheeda Rehman. This was supposed to be what we term on this blog, as a ‘villain’s den’ song. Raj Khosla was the director of the film, but overall charge was Guru Dutt. Two points about him. First, he was a good dancer in his own right, having been trained under Uday Shankar at Almora. Secondly, he is also acknowledged as the master of song picturization par excellence, and only Vijay Anand can be bracketed along with him in this category.
As per Murthy ji, this is what happened on the sets when this song was being picturized. The shooting started. Waheeda ji was in a very revealing dress, with sleeveless top and an exposed mid riff. Just the mukhda was being picturized when Guru Dutt signaled to Raj Khosla, and the shooting was stopped. Guru Dutt said something to the effect that the shooting of this song will need to be re-thought, and suspended the day’s work for the time being. Next day, the work started on a different scene.
A couple of days later, Raj Khosla and Murthy asked Guru Dutt about the abandoned shooting of the song. He replied that he is thinking about it, and will share his plan later. That later never came. And so, contrary to the version popularized by the writings of Raju Bhartan, the song never really got picturised, as per Murhty, the cinematographer. This version gains credibility from the fact the video of this song never surfaced, even decades after the release of the film. As per Murthy’s statement, maybe Guru Dutt felt awkward presenting Whaeeda Rehman in such a revealing manner, just in her debut appearance.
Coming to the reuse version. ‘Bombay Velvet’ is a tale of the dark underside of the Bombay world. Set in the second half of the decade of 1960s, it is based on the novel ‘Mumbai Fables’ by Gyan Prakash. In turn, the story and the ambiance of ‘Mumbai Fables’ is inspired by ‘LA Quartet’, a set of four novellas by James Ellroy. These are set in the Los Angeles under belly of the decades of 1940s and 1950s.
The film is a story of love that develops between a small time crook and street fighter Johnny Balraj (role played by Ranbir Kapoor) and Rosie (role played by Anushka Sharma), a singer who performs at shady clubs. It is story with a tragic ending. The love between the two becomes a problem for Johnny’s gangster boss, with few other twists thrown in involving the police, journalists, etc. A shootout happens at the end in which Johnny is killed, and Rosie is seriously injured.
This song is the first introduction of the two protagonists in a shady bar, named Bombay Velvet. It is a regular bar that also serves hookah smoking. Rosie is singing this song, and Ranbir is in an inner room smoking the hookah. He is drawn by the music and comes to the main area and sees her.
He is flamboyant, drunk, and has a bruised eye – appears to have had a fight recently. She is standing in front of a mike and a set of band players, with complete boredom writ large on her face, as if she would rather be somewhere else. Men crowd the room. We can see Manish Chaudhry, who is a newspaperman. Some in the crowd try to approach the singer, Johnny tries to block, a fight ensues – and the singer keeps on singing the song. Quite a scenario.
In the beginning of the video clip we see police inspector Vishwas Kulkarni (role played by Kay Kay Menon) talking on the phone. In the background we hear what is probably a radio playing. A program of film songs is in progress. We hear a snippet of the announcer’s voice which is announcing the next song. The announcer’s voice, overlaid with the phone conversation of Vishwas Kulkarni, is heard saying “. . . की आवाज़ में जिसे संगीत बद्ध किया है ओ पी नय्यर ने . . .” (“. . in the voice of (…) with music composed by OP Nayyar”). A very interesting way to acknowledge the song whose prelude music starts to play from the radio.
The scene shifts and we see Jamshed ‘Jimmy’ Mistry, a newspaper editor (role played by Manish Chaudhry), typing out a crime story about a smuggler’s escape from the prison. The prelude music continues to play in the background. The typewriter visual shifts to the front page of a tabloid newspaper, interestingly titled ‘Glitz’ (a throwback to the famous tabloid ‘Blitz’ that used to be published by RK Karanjia, simultaneously from Bombay and Delhi) carrying the story. The headline is accompanied with a black and white photograph. This photograph very suspiciously looks as if from from one of the earlier Hindi films – maybe ‘Baaz’, maybe ‘Jaal’ – just speculating, I am not able to identify.
The prelude of the song continues and the scene now shifts to Johnny, smoking a hookah, in an interior room of Bombay Velvet. As Johnny takes a puff, the the prelude music gains prominence and we see Johnny, enamored by the music, get up and come to the main area of the club, where Rosie is beginning the song – “Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewaane. . .”. As the song continues, the scene shifts back and forth between Bombay Velvet and to the outside during daytime, in what looks like the old Fort area of Bombay. For a good measure, we see a Victoria, and old model cars in the passing, as the director is trying to recreate the ambiance of Bombay of the 1960s. Johnny is stalking Rosie, trying to get her attention. Back inside the club, another evening, another performance by Rosie, and Johnny is there again. This time, through her visible boredom, Rosie gives a smile to Johnny. Jimmy Mistry also walks in again, and with a giggle Johnny confides in his ear – “Apni hai” (“She is mine”). And the familiarity develops. . .
Maybe the picturization of the song may prompt one to view the complete film.
The song has been used as it has been originally created. The words and the music is exactly the same. Only that it has been re-recorded in a different voice – that of Neeti Mohan. Thankfully, the rhythm and the flow of the song has not been tampered with. No remixing, or additional music effects. Neeti Mohan has been able to sing it quite well, bringing in the various inflections and variations that are in the original rendition. Ah but of course, Geeta Dutt is Geeta Dutt. The original is beyond comparison.
Let us listen to this re-recorded hit song. And enjoy the new visual.
Song – Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewaane (Bombay Velvet) (2015) Singer – Neeti Mohan, Lyrics – Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD – OP Nayyar

जाता कहाँ है दीवाने
सब कुछ यहाँ है सनम
बाकी के सारे फसाने
झूठे हैं तेरी क़सम
फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ तेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ मेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
ज़माना है बुरा
पहलू बदलने लगे
घबरा के चलने लगे
आँखें मिलीं भी नहीं
यूं ही संभलने लगे
अजी सुनिए हुज़ूर
जाना हमसे ना दूर
अजी सुनिए हुज़ूर
दिल है किसी का जलाना बुरा
जाता कहाँ है दीवाने
सब कुछ यहाँ है सनम
बाकी के सारे फसाने
झूठे हैं तेरी क़सम
फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ तेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ मेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
ज़माना है बुरा
सैय्याद है तू मगर
मुझको ना यूं तन के देख
नादां ज़रा एक बार
क़ैदी मेरा बन के देख
मानो मानो मेरी बात
ये है पहली मुलाक़ात
मानो मानो मेरी बात
देखो पहलू से उठ के है जाना बुरा
जाता कहाँ है दीवाने
सब कुछ यहाँ है सनम
बाकी के सारे फसाने
झूठे हैं तेरी क़सम
फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ तेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
कुछ मेरे दिल में फिफ़्फ़ी
ज़माना है बुरा

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 29
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This post may likely be the most peculiar one of this series. Here we see a song, or more accurately a song snippet, reused in a most peculiar manner.
The film is ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ from 1963. Recently, I chanced upon this song snippet, which is part of a song from another film. I have seen this film maybe once or twice earlier, but did not register or remember this song snippet being present in the film. A friend recently brought this to my attention, and I thought of writing this post.
The full song is from the film ‘Cha Cha Cha’. And a very well known and well heard duet it is. The singers in the complete song are Rafi Sb and Lata Mangeshkar. The original verses are penned by the famous Urdu litterateur Makhdoom Mohiuddin. The music of the film ‘Cha Cha Cha’ is from the mind of Iqbal Qureshi. The film includes such all time favorite hits like “Subah Na Aayi, Shaam Na Aayi” and “Wo Hum Na The Wo Tum Na The” (both written by Neeraj). This iconic song has long been a favorite of mine. The song is a description of the emotions of love, longing and intimacy between a man and a woman.
‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ is the story of the dacoit Thakur Jarnail Singh (role played by Sunil Dutt) who falls in love with Chameli (role played by Waheeda Rehman), a dancing girl. The story is about the dilemma that enters their lives when Chameli gives birth to a child. Bringing up a child in an environment of a dacoit gang – that is the dilemma which makes up the theme of this film. And there is a very famous Lata song that beautifully expresses this dilemma – “Tere Bachpan Ko Jawaani Ki Dua Deti Hoon”.
A brief about Makhdoom Mohiuddin, whose poetry also appears in films like ‘Gaman’ (1978) – “Aap Ki Yaad Aati Rahi Raat Bhar”, and “Bazaar” (1982) – “Phir Chhidi Raat Baat Phoolon Ki”. He was born at Andol in district Medak in Hyderabad on 4th Feb, 1908. He belonged to a religious family of teachers and preachers but Makhdoom was more interested in poetry and politics than in religion. He was the leading light of the progressive writers’ movement and as a mark of respect the communist party of India has raised a building called “Makhdoom Bhawan” in Hyderabad. Though Makhdoom is primarily a poet of the nazm, he has also proved his ability as a ghazal writer. In addition, he has displayed his worth in the field of prose as well. His poetical works include ‘Surkh Saveraa’, ‘Gul-e-tar’, ‘Basaat-e-raqs’ (complete works). He passed away in Delhi on August 25, 1969.
Now coming to the interesting twist to the reuse of this song snippet. The film ‘Cha Cha Cha’, which contains the complete song, was released in 1964. And this reuse (?) occurs in a film ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ which is released in 1963. The release chronology raises the question about which is the original creation. Were these lines composed by Jaidev Sb initially (music director for ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’), and then later developed into a full song by Iqbal Qureshi for ‘Cha Cha Cha’ ? Or that the song is created by Iqbal Sb and the song snippet borrowed by Jaidev Sb for his film ?
Curious thing is chronology. One possibility is that both the films were in production concurrently during maybe 1963, and that the release of ‘Cha Cha Cha’ was delayed whereas ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ got released timely, and much before ‘Cha Cha Cha’. It is difficult now to get answers to these questions. But surely, an interesting scenario is created – the apparent reuse of the song snippet is appearing in a film that came before the film which contains the full song.
On screen, the lines play in the background in the voice of Lata ji. On screen, we see Chameli waiting for the Thakur in a scene that appear to be their tryst for the first night together. Tahkur enters the scene, sits besides her and touches her face. The voice of Lata ji starts to play in the background as the lovers fall into an embrace. A very delicately picturized scene – conveys all without saying much. Lata ji’s voice says it all.
[Editor’s Note: Additional inputs by Arun ji Deshmukh on the poet Makhdoom Mohiuddin.]
This song has made my memories greener.The writer of this song MAKHDOOM MOHIUDDIN was our family friend in the 50s and 60s till he died in 1969.
Our Hyderabad house was very big and my father had a beautiful garden where there was a big Chameli Mandav on which the Chameli vine was flowering in the seasons. There also was a big Zopala (a well spread jhoola with cushions to seat 3 to 4 people). Whenever Makhdoom Sb used to come, he preferred sitting under the Chameli Mandav on an easy chair. Actor, director and producer Chandrashekhar, who hailed from Hyderabad and knew Makhdoom Sb well, requested for a song for his film and Makhdoom Sb wrote the above song for him. But it came in the movie after a lapse of time only.
Makhdoom was a Poet, Dramatist, Teacher and in the last phase of his life, a Political Leader with left inclinations. He was also an MLA.
His 3 more songs feature in films- 1) “Jaanewale Sipahi Se Poocho” – ‘Usne Kaha Tha’ (1960) 2) “Aapki Yaad Aati Rahi” – ‘Gaman’ (1979), and “Phir Chhidi Raat” – ‘Bazaar’ (1982).

Song – Ek Chameli Ke Mandwe Taley (Mujhe Jeene Do) (1963) Singer – Lata Mangeshkar, Lyrics – Makhdoom Mohiuddin, MD – Iqbal Qureshi

ek chameli ke mandwe taley

दो बदन प्यार की आग में जल गए
एक चमेली के मंडवे तले
एक चमेली के मंडवे तले
Kise main apna haal sunaaun

“Manager”(1947) was directed by I P Tiwari for Tiwari Productions, Bombay. This social movie had Poornima, Jaiprakash, Sarla, Aziz, Tiwari, Aminabai, Sakeena, Lal, Govind etc in it.
HFGK mentions Kumar Sharma as the lyricist and Ramkrishn Shinde as the music director. Seven songs are listed under this movie, but details of singers are missing.
One song from “Manager”(1947) has been covered in the blog. That article (by our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh) added considerably to our knowledge about this highly obscure movie.
This movie was the first and last movie to this production house floated by this person I P Tiwari. Little is known about this movie. One article in Film India magazine in those days contains a comment about this movie. According to that comment, it was a film about mill workers and their relations with its Manager.
The movie may have been titled “Manager”, but the mukhda of the songs mentioned in HFGK hardly suggests that. The songs are mostly about haal e dil, except one song that was about haal e mill. :).
The one song that has been covered was rut rangeeli aayi sajaniya, which is clearly a love long, and not a song about the working of a mill.
The second song under discussion is “kise main apna haal sunaaun”. The singing voice sound like a child but the song is about “beet gaye din apne suhaane gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane”. Imagine a child like voice singing like he was in love long time back. 🙂
Only audio of the song is available. The song was uploaded six years ago, and in these six years only obtained three likes and three comments. But one of the comments in invaluable. It says that all but one song from this movie appeared in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well. This movie “Kiski Jeet”(1948) has not yet debuted in the blog. This comment suggests that by default, this movie too has got onboard. On looking at the entry of “Kiski Jeet”(1948), we find that this movie too was a Tiwari Production movie, but here the director was Safdar Mirza. Sarla, Aminabai, Tiwari, are three names that are there in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well. In addition, this movie has Indu Kulkarni, Pushpa, Chandrika,Sadiq, Maqbool, Mustafa, Vakeel, Bismillah, Mohammad, Sandow etc as well.
So, some interesting informations have become known about this movie thanks to a chance remark in Film India in 1947 and another chance remark in a youtube link in 2022. 🙂
Here is this obscure song from “Manager”(1947). This song, and also the first song of this movie covered in the blog, appear in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well.
Song-Kise main apna haal sunaaun (Manager)(1947) Singer-Unknown voice, Lyrics-Kumar Sharma, MD-Ramkrishn Shinde
Lyrics
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon

chaaron oar chhaaya andhiyaara
chaaron oar chhaaya andhiyaara
toot gaya asha ka taara
toot gaya asha ka taara
kya karoon

beet gaye din apne suhaane
beet gaye din apne suhaane
gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane
gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane
pyaar ke kisse huye puraane
pyaar ke kisse huye puraane
beete dinon ko kaise bhulaaun
beete dinon ko kaise bhulaaun
kya karoon

kise main apna haal sunaaun

Abhi Na Jaao Chhod Kar

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 28
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Of course yes. A repeat song again. And what a wonderful song at that.
The original song from the film ‘Hum Dono’ has become such an iconic fixture in the nostalgia, one of those peerless creations that may not be duplicated , maybe ever. It was the first and the only stint of music director Jaidev with Dev Sb’s Navketan banner. This singular partnership, with Sahir Sb writing the lyrics has given a bouquet of long and deep memories to generations of listeners.
In the original film, this song appears at the beginning of the film. And a very cute beginning too. No words, no dialogue – after the credits the first scenario is that the lead couple meets. Hero has been waiting, heroine is late, any and all exchange is just thru gestures and expressions. Together they fall into a slumber, and then the heroine wakes up and tries to leave without disturbing the hero. But the hero has clasped her ribbon in his hands, and wakes up as soon as the ribbon is pulled taut. And without saying a word, the song appears.
The song has become memorable and recognizable by the signature tinkling melody that is stored in a cigarette lighter. This is a very short and a very endearing aria, that is now printed in the memory of the lovers of Hindi film music. A little bit about this piece of music. This has been created using the musical instrument called Glockenspiel. It is a percussion instrument made from aluminium or steel bars arranged in a keyboard layout. Most of us would be familiar with a baby version of it, that is one of the most popular gift item for infants. From my inquiries about this piece of music, I have learnt this particular piece of music is played by the famous instrumentalist Kersi Lord. Kersi has been one of the lead multi instrument specialists in Indian cinema, and that too during the Golden Era of Hindi film music.
This endearing piece of music and the song has been reused in the film ‘Mausam’ from 2011. And to what a beautiful effect this song has been reused. Sadanand ji sent me a link for this song. I played it just for checking out, and truthfully saying, I have fallen in love with this reuse version.
‘Mausam’ of 2011 is a film that goes to many places. It is a very enchanting love story that tells the tale of two people in love, who belong to different religions. They are childhood friends. Their childhood is spent in rural Punjab, and Kashmir, in a time when the bon homie between neighbors and friends of all communities far outweighed the animosities that have been foisted on our society by the fundamentalist divisive forces.
The lead couple – Harry (full name Harinder Singh, role played by Shahid Kapoor) and Aayat (role played by Sonam Kapoor) fall in love in their teen years. Harry lives in Mallukot, a small village in Punjab. Aayat, whose family is in Kashmir, comes to visit her bua in the same village. The first interaction, and then more following – love develops between the two.
The story is not as much about family or societal resistance – rather not at all so. It is more about the political events that keep this couple apart for a long time. The period covered is roughly the decade starting from the demolition of Babri Masjid to the communal riots in Gujarat – roughly the period from 1992 to 2002. The story line moves across multiple geographies, going from Punjab to Bombay, to London, to New York, to Switzerland, back to India, ending up at Ahemdabad. The loving couple continue to meet at all these places, but the larger political events restrain them from coming to closer commitments. From Babri Masjid to Bombay bombings and riots, to Kargil War, to the 9/11 bombing of World Trade Center in New York, to the Ahmadabad riots of 2002.
The film is written and directed by Pankaj Kapoor (Shahid Kapoor’s father). Although criss-crossing many borders, the film does not stray. Pankaj Kapoor has kept a taut control over the progression of the story line. Only that one feels that too much of the world is crammed into a tale of love that waits.
Both the lead players have played somewhat controlled and introvert characters. The expressions of their emotional connect with each other is quite restrained and reserved – almost heart breaking. Harry joins the Indian Air Force, and that is where the Kargil War becomes part of the story-line. He is injured during action, and becomes partially paralyzed. At times unaware of each other’s tribulations, the lovers do not put any pressure of expectations on each other.
They keep meeting across geographies and across the calendar of significant events, and the circumstances and fate keep drawing them apart. The climax comes in the city of Ahmadabad, where Harry saves the life of Aayat, and overcomes his paralysis to rescue from a near fatal situation, a child girl of unknown parentage from a high rise Ferris wheel in an entertainment park.
The film has a happy ending with Harry going back into the Air Forcre, and the lovers come together and adopt the child girl they have rescued.
I had picked up the film just to view the situation in which this song has been reused. But I got curiously entangled with the story line and ended up viewing the entire film.
And I must admit that the use of this song in the situation is so endearingly more effective than the original. We are in London, Harry is on an official visit as part of an Air Force team. After the difficult times in Kashmir, Ghulam Rasool (Aayat’s father, role played by Kamal Chopra) migrates to London with his Hindu friend and neighbor Maharaj Kishan (role played by Anupam Kher). Quite frustrated by the political wranglings, the two families continue to be together. Chance encounter brings Aayat and Harry face to face. Harry invites Aayat to an official get together, after which he comes with her to drop her home. There is a meeting that gives a unmistakable flavor of “boy meeting the girl’s parents”. The conversation brings in the past somewhat, and an emotional Maharaj Kishan, playing with his cigarette lighter, presses it on. The endearing jingle is played, and for a moment all is silent. Then Harry comments that this tune sounds so familiar, but he can’t place the words. Ghulam Rasool talks about the film (‘Hum Dono’) and where he had seen it. As Harry is trying to recollect the lyrics, Aayat starts to sing them. She sings two lines. Harry is ready to depart. As Aayat walks to the main door with him, and he gets into the taxi to leave, the song continues in the background. We hear one stanza of the original song in this situation.
The reuse has been done so beautifully and so effectively. The words are playing in the background, and they are also playing in the facial expressions of Aayat, who is so clearly beseeching Harry not to leave just then. That exchange of glances between the two, the pauses as they are walking down towards the door, the earnest plea in Aayat’s eyes, and the understanding expression in Harry’s. One almost expects as if the story line would alter, and Harry stays back for some more time. But, after a pause, Harry gets into the taxi and leaves. The look of yearning, and frail vulnerability in Aayat’s eyes as the taxi departs, tells the complete story of their love.
In this reuse, the singing voice is that of Shreya Ghoshal. I must admit that I am completely bowled over by this version. There is no instrumental support at all. Shreya ji is singing without and music or rhythm support, and she has expressed this song oh so beautifully. If one is not persuaded to see the film, my recommendation is to at least see this song.
As I was searching online for this song, I also came across a longer two stanza version, but apparently that is not how it was used in the film. This version is a remix made from small clips from the film, which indicates that the song as sung by Shreya ji is a two stanza song, but in the film, only one stanza is used.
A song so endearingly rendered without music support, and a film that tells the story of love against the backdrop of geopolitical events. I just fell in love with both.

This article is the 15900th song post for the blog

Blog Day : |
4447 | Post No. : | 15900 |
So we reach another blog century with this post. This century materializes in 39 days, which appears like a fast century vis a vis the previous eleven centuries that took an average of 61 days each. These eleven centuries were took nearly two years (from August 2018 till July 2020). If we look at the rate of centuries ten years ago, then we had achieved a blog century on 20 september 2010 as well. That was the 30th century for the blog and that had been achieved in 17 days flat !. Eleven centuries (viz 20th century to 30th century were achieved at an average rate of 33 days per century.
The quickest rate of centuries were achieved during 2011 and 2012. Calendar year of 2012 saw 21 blog centuries, a record not surpassed since ! These 21 centuries were achieved at an average rate of one century every 18th day !
When I try to think about the by now barely believable rate of posts and centuries in the past, I can pinpoint a few reasons. And I also learn a few lessons from them.
Ten years ago, I was ten years younger. at that stage in my life, I was perhaps at the most productive and creative stage of my life. My enery level and motivation level were on a different plane. I also realise that my eyesight was still good and I did not need glasses to read fine prints. It was sometime in 2011 that I began to realise that my eyesight was going downhill. That is when I needed glasses for the first time. With that being the case, it was no longer possible for me to pore over the computer screen with the same comfort as before. This may be one reason why I hav slowed down. I need to take breaks from computer for the sake of my eyes, which was not the case prior to 2011.
Secondly, at that stage, I found it easy to wake up early in the morning and staying up late as well. My wife complained that I was neglecting my health by not getting enough sleep. Her constant nagging has finally had its effect on me. For the last two years, I no longer wake up at 5 AM in the morning and finish off six or seven posts for the day in three hours.
25 september 2011 was a crazy day when as many as 13 writeups were posted. First post appeared at 8:10 PM and the last post at 23:59 PM ! It means that I devoted the entire day at the computer doing nothing but posting articles all th time ! The same feat was repeated on 6 september 2012. The first post of the day appeared at 7:32 AM. The thirteenth and final post of the day appeared at 23:47 PM and that marked the 66th blog century for the blog !
Those were crazy days for the blog! The concepts of movies making their debuts, moving getting YIPPEED in the blog etc were not known. I did not have access to HFGK, so I was blissfully unaware if all the songs of a movie were covered in the blog. Unburdened by all these considerations, and helped by the fact that most well known songs of well known movies were still up for grabs, we had no problem finding sngs to discuss. All those songs, not yet dscovered were like low hanging fruits that were easy to pluck. We have dealt with all those low handing fruits and now we are dealing with songs that were relatively less popular and lesser known. I was gifted HFGK on july 2014 by our two Maharathi contributors Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh and Sudhir Jee, on the occasion of the blog completing 10000th post. By that time, we were also on to concepts like individual artists centuries, blog contributors centuries etc. We had also evolved the concept of YIPPEE thanks to the ever enthusiastic Pradeep Raghunathan. All these factors meant that we had to do more research that before to locate specific songs that met specific requirements.
These days we are not able to score our centuries at Sehwag like rate (16-17 days) but even scoring centuries at test match rate is not bad. What matters is that the musical juggesrnaut keeps moving and does not remain stand still. We have managed to remain free of a DOT day in the blog for this entire calendar year 2020. There were three DOT days in 2019, 7 in 2018 and ZERO in 2017. So we have ben like a non stop musical bandwagon for the last four years with hardly any stoppages. And let us hope that it continues that way.
Another thing where we had managed to staay true to form is in the selection of our Century songs. We manage to come up with special songs for such special occasions. Seeing that we have had 158 Blog centuries so far, we have discussed 158 special songs on these occasions. 158 is not a small number by any stretch of imagination. One would need more than 8 hours to listen to these special songs !
The 15900th song of the blog is a special song as well. It is special because
(i) it is a rare and obscure song
(ii) the singer is also obscure, though she comes from a well known musical family
(iii) The song is one that has been reused in at least two movies, both obscure.
The song is from “Bhed”(1950). This movie was produced by Amba Cinetone(Jal K Baliwala Productions Bombay). That is all that HFGK contains for this movie. HFGK tells us that this movie had at least nine songs in it, may be more. Mukul Roy (brother of Geeta Roy, later Geeta Dutt) was the music director.
Three songs from this movie have been discussed so far. All these three songs were sung by Geeta Dutt.
Here is another song from “Bhed”(1950). Is it sung by Geeta Dutt ? No, it is sung by Lakshmi Roy, sister of Geeta Dutt. Geeta Dutt is a legendary singer in HFM, but her sister Lakshmi Roy has sung very few songs in HFM. Most of her songs are duets with other singers. This song is an axception. It is a solo song.
This song is penned by Madhukar Rajasthani.
I made another interesting discovery. Five songs from “Bhed” (1953) were later reused in “Do Bahaadur”(1953). Unlike “Bhed”(1950), details of starcast of “Do Bahaadur”(1953) is known. “Do Bahaadur”(1953) was produced by Nari Cawasji and drected by Baburao Pahalwan for Baghdad Pictures under supervision of Shantaram Athwale. The movie had John Cawas, Shanta Patel, Rohini, Dalpat, Goldstein, Rajni, Chitalkar, Dilawar, Baby Balo, Aziz Premi, Madhu Apte, Ali, Baburao Pahalwan etc in it.
This movie too had music by Mukul Roy. The movie had six songs in it. Five of these songs were same as those of “Bhed”(1950). the sixth song was taken from “Ustaad Pedro”(1951).
Such cut and paste job for music did not help the cause of “Do Bahaadur”(1953). For that matter even “Bhed”(1950) is a rare and forgotten movie.
Coming to Lakshmi Roy, she married producer director Pramod Chakraborty. Unlike her unfortunate sister Geeta, she enjoyed a long and happy married life.
As the 15900th song of the blog, here is this rare and special song from “Bhed”(1950).
A blog century on 20 september 2010 and a blog century on 20 september 2020 as well. So we have mnaged to achieve a different kind of “Blog Ten Year Challenge” today with this post. 🙂
As we can see, we are now just one more century away from the magic 16000 mark. Here is hoping that we will not just reach that landmark but also reach many distant landmarks in future. I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support and encouragement.
Song-Ritu Pyar karan ki aayi (Bhed) (1950)/(Do Bahaadur)(1953) Singer-Laxmi Roy, Lyrics-Madhukar Rajasthani, MD-Mukul Roy

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 23
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
OK, so introducing another popular song that got very quickly reused in a subsequent film. This raunchy item number surprised everyone when it came out for the first time. The film is ‘Inkaar’ from 1977. It was cops and robbers story – B-grade cinema but it was done very professionally, giving some true insight into the normal working of the police force.
This song, which is performed by Helen in the film, became very popular in its time. And the wonder part of this song was / is the voice that has rendered it. The voice is of Usha Mangeshkar. One does not hear her voice in item numbers. Maybe part of a twin dance duet singing. But not an out and out item song. Somehow the selection of his voice for the setting clicked absolutely well. The setting of the song in the original film is a roadside tavern – a desi daaru ka adda. A counter for selling liquor and some chairs and tables for the clients to enjoy their glass that cheers. The dancer, Helen, is very much in the native Maharashtrian attire, wearing the dhoti in the typical lavangi style. The scenario, the persona – the singing voice suited everything to a T.
Fast forward to 1984. The film is ‘Andar Baahar’. This is another cops and robbers tale. Jackie Shroff is a police inspector who has lost his senior partner (role played by Parikshit Sahni) to the bullets of criminals. He vows revenge, and for that he takes permission to pull out a jailed criminal (role played by Anil Kapoor), and enrolls him as his partner, because he can identify the gangster boss. Anil Kapoor, who is a hardened criminal otherwise, has a difficult time adjusting to a role on the other side of the law. So within the very first one or two days, taking advantage of his newly given freedom, he disappears from Jackie Shroff’s home. Jackie is worried, on many counts, and sets out to search for him. Following his instincts he goes to the city red light area and his hunch is proved correct. Anil Kapoor is in a binge of drink and dance with a dancing girl of the area, role played by Jaishree T. And the song that is used in this scene is the iconic Usha Mangeshkar number, repeated from the film ‘Inkaar’.
The reuse is a direct replay without re-recording. The song duration is shorter because only one stanza of the song is utilized. Once again, being a repeat song, this does not appear in the Geet Kosh listings for the latter film. I have retained the credits for the song, from the original film – Majrooh Sultanpuri and Rajesh Roshan. Incidentally the music director for the latter film is RD Burman.
So another popular song reused in a later film. I accidentally ran into this song, as I was searching for another video clip to complete another post. The song “Hum Ko To Yaari Se Matlab Hai” from film ‘Andar Baahar’ has a sad version that was not getting located. I played thru the film in fast forward mode. It was a short clip but I was able to locate it. In the process, the bonus was the discovery of this repeat song that would have otherwise not been located, as it is not listed. A good chance discovery.
Song – Tu..u..u Mungdaa, Mungdaa Main Gud Ki Dhali (Andar Baahar) (1984) Singer – Usha Mangeshkar, Lyrics – Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD – Rajesh Roshan
Lyrics
tu..u..u
mungdaa mungdaa
main gud ki dali
mangtaa hai to aa jaa rasiyaa
naahin to main ye chali
mangtaa hai to aa jaa rasiyaa
naahin to main ye chali
tu..u..u
mungdaa ha mungdaa
main gud ki dali
mangtaa hai to aa jaa rasiyaa
naahin to main ye chali
mangtaa hai to aa jaa rasiyaa
naahin to main ye chali
aapas ki chaal dekhe so lut jaaye
aapas ki chaal dekhe so lut jaaye
tu jis pe naina daal haathon se pyaala satak jaaye
tu jis pe naina daal haathon se pyaala satak jaaye
aashiq apna
mungdaa mungdaa mungdaa
main gud ki dali
kaisa mulga hai re sharmila
tujhse to mulgi bhali
kaisa mulga hai re sharmila
tujhse to mulgi bhali

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 22
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
I present here a repeat song that is quite different from the string of songs in this series so far. I shall begin by introducing the original song.
The original song is from the 1953 film – ‘Hamdard’. The song has been written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the music composition is by Anil Biswas. The original song is in the voice of Manna Dey, and it is already posted on the blog a good eight years ago. That post can be viewed at “Tera Haath Haath Mein Aa Gaya”.
The repeat song, this time appearing in the film ‘Tu Nahin Aur Sahi’ from 1960. The song is the same, but for the latter film, it has been re-recorded. The music director of the latter film is Ravi. The second recording is different, both with regards to the composition, as well as the singing voice. The latter song has been recorded in the voice of Rafi Sb, in a tune that is quite different from the original.
In the latter film, only the mukhda of the song is present. The full song is not presented. It would be interesting to know whether the latter version of the song was recorded as a complete song, or only the lines that are actually present in the film.
So the repeat song has been re-recorded, using a different tune, and in a different voice. And it is only used partially. There surely are other instances in Hindi films, where snippets of songs from earlier films have been used partially. This case is interesting, in that it has been formally re-recorded, different voice, different tune. As far as I can check, it appears that this is the only instance of its kind, in the category of repeat songs.
Here is another very interesting anecdote about this song. There is actually another instance in Hindi films, where these lines appear, albeit equally briefly. The film is ‘Teesri Manzil’ from 1966. The scenario is played out as follows.
The location is again the restaurant of the hotel. Shammi Kapoor, or Rocky, (also Anil) has just finished singing the song – “Tumne Mujhe Dekha Ho Kar Meharbaan”. He is on the seventh heaven, considering that Asha Parekh, or Sunita has come to his performance of this song. Little does he know that the letter that was supposed to reach her the previous evening has just been delivered to her in the restaurant. Of course, knowing the truth, Sunita is livid at the deception played by Anil. And Anil, on the seventh heaven, has completed the song and launches into a monologue, telling the audience, how lucky he is having found love. He reaches the table where Sunita is sitting, and she is in tears. Continuing the monologue, Anil reaches out for her hand, and starts to speak these lines –
Tera Haath Haath Mein Aa Gaya
Ke Chirag Raah Mein Jal Gaye. . .The unexpected next instant is a shock, as Sunita pulls back her hand and lands a resounding slap on Anil’s cheek.
So a very interesting set of appearances these lines make – from 1953 to 1960 to 1966.
Remembering Rafi Sb today, on his 40th remembrance day.
This snippet also brings back memories of another great performer – Kumkum, who passed away on 28th July, three days ago. In the closing minutes of this film, she makes a decision and leaves her home, to follow the person she loves, no matter that person is a dishonest conman.

तेरा हाथ हाथ में आ गया
के चिराग़ राह में जल गए
मुझे सेहल हो गईं मंज़िलें
वो हवा के रुख भी बादल गए
तेरा हाथ हाथ में आ गया
Laal Laal Gaal Jaan Ke Hain Laagu

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 21
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
OK, yes, this one too.
And I am very sure most of us would not have heard, or even heard of, the third stanza in this song. Ah yes, that is the wonderful bonus we have from the repeat use of this song. I was not even aware of the existence of a third stanza of this song, before my dear friend Ahsaan Bhai (of Hapur) introduced me to this repeat song in the 1978 film ‘Nasbandi’. That was a few months ago. In wayward manner, i.e. without any proper identification etc., this song is available on you tube. And unless one is aware of what one is looking for, one is bound to miss it.
And the third stanza – I wonder where and how IS Johar was able to lay his hands on the extended version of this song. Is the film availabl somewhere? Food, and quite wholesome food at that, for thought. The repeat use is the original recording in the voice of Rafi Sb. And as such, it is not listed in the Geet Kosh, for the film ‘Nasbandi’.
Definitely, the best of the fast paced super foot tappers sung by Rafi Sb. Listening to this, one can but not cease being amazed in wonder at the spectrum of the range that Rafi Sb has rendered over the near four and a half decades of his career as a playback singer in Indian cinema.
The original song, from the film ‘Mr X’ from 1957. The film is sadly not available, not traceable at present. And so one cannot write about the picturization. However, one thing that Ahsaan Bhai has confirmed with certainty that this song is performed on screen by Johnny Walker, in the original.
The repeat song in the film ‘Nasbandi’ is presented, in original, as a background song. Now, ‘Nasbandi’ is Johar Films production. And knowing the penchant IS Johar has for spoofing and presenting a near gobbledygook farce of the normal situations, one must see this clip with a barrelful of salt, keeping on the side, all the sensible understanding of the real world, or even the reel world. The fun in his films is very much in-your-face farce.
IS Johar was an acknowledged intellectual and man of letters. Only that his capabilities in this arena got directed towards comedy and fun. One can sense that he is making a film for fun, and in that process he is making fun of a lot of established ideas, and even well known people. He went on to produce many films of this calibre.
Another thing that I want to highlight is his penchant for the motor bike. In practically all his films that I have seen, there is one or more scene of motorbike riding, and in some cases, real dare-devilry motorbike riding, be it ‘Johar in Kashmir’ (1966), ‘Johar and Mehmood in Goa’ (1965), or ‘Johar and Mehmood in Hong Kong’ (1971). In this film too, the same gimmickry appears. This song is all about extreme motorbike riding, with display of driving skills underwater, driving on rail tracks, ascending and descending stair cases, besides the other nominal tricks of motorbike riding. One enjoys the song of course. But one also realizes – it is in the film just for the heck of it. 🙂
Ah but, this post is not about IS Johar and his films. It is the recall of this iconic song sung by Rafi Sb, and as mentioned above, the wondrous discovery of a third stanza of this song.
40 years ago, this divine virtuous voice, departed from this world of the mundane. And the world became lesser so with his departure. The artist that he was, and the humane person that was him, only rarely one finds these two attributes of eminence so pleasantly enmeshed together.
Just like water – it will take shape of whatever container one pours into. And it will take up the color of whatever it is mixed with. That is the artist in Rafi Sb. His voice in the background, almost always sounded as the voice of the actor in front. That is what water does – accepts everything, becomes everything.
Such is the same – as with Rafi Sb.
Amen.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 20
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
It is like cherry picking a hit parade – the repeat songs are almost always the popular hit songs that have made a serious mark on the collective memory of the audiences and lovers of Hindi films and film songs. And this song is no exception. Rather this song has been so popular – with its catchy lyrics and a very hummable melody – that one hears this song being used in many different avatars outside of the film frame – remixes, revival melodies, even background music for recorded dance performances. One can find such samples online on YT.
This iconic song, originally from the 1968 film – ‘Kismat’, has been reused in the 2011 film ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. Whereas the original song was a disguise cum diversion song, in a situation where the lead pair is trying to get away from a group of bad-men, in the newer film, this song is being used as a wooing-cum-proposal-making song. The occasion is a wedding of a friend of the leading lady. Tanuja (Kangana Ranaut) aka Tanu is trying to muster up courage to proposition Manu, who appears to be too shy and unprepared to take a step towards a relationship. Using the wedding scenario as an excuse, Tanu gets drunk (or appears to get drunk). The situation develops and reaches this song in a couple of minutes, and in the guise of this song, Tanu finally gets to speak her heart out to Manu,
kismat bana de meri
duniya basa de meri
kar le sagaai meri jaan
Please note that in this re-use, the original song has been presented as it is, the only one change is that two stanzas have been used instead of 3. So what we hear in this song are the original voices of Asha Bhosle and Shamshad Begum, the mukhda and antara lines suitably edited to present a shorter version.
The info about this reuse has been shared with me by Anekant ji. He has been a regular contributor and there is still a few more songs in my pending list for this series, that have been suggested by him.
The original song from the film ‘Kismat’ came on to this blog on 9th February, 2009. It can be accessed here – “Kajra Mohabbat Wala, Akhiyon Mein Aisa Daala“.
Check out this resue, and witness an energetic on screen performance by Kangana, who, under the supposed influence of alcohol, is desirous of presenting a Kanpuria dance for the occasion. And enjoy.

Song – Kajra Mohabbat Wala Akhiyon Mein Aisa Daala (Tanu Weds Manu) (2011) Singer – Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum, Lyrics – SH Bihari, MD – OP Nayyar
Lyrics
kajra mohabbat waala
akhiyon me aisa daala
kajre ne le li meri jaan
haay re main tere qurbaan
duniya hai mere peeche
lekin main tere peeche
apna bana le meri jaan
haay re main tere qurbaan
kajra mohabbat waala
akhiyon me aisa daala
kajre ne le li meri jaan
haay re main tere qurbaan
aayi ho kahaan se gori
aankhon me pyaar le ke
aayi ho kahaan se gori
aankhon me pyaar le ke
chadhti jawaani ki ye pehli bahaar leke
dilli shahar ka saara
meena bazaar leke
dilli shahar ka saara
meena bazaar leke
jhumka bareli wala
kaano me aisa daala
jhumke ne le li meri jaan
hay re main tere qurbaan
duniya hai mere peeche
lekin main tere peeche
apna bana le meri jaan
haay re main tere qurbaan
motor na bangla maangoon
jhumka na haar maangoon
motor na bangla maangoon
jhumka na haar maangoon
dil ko jalaane waale dil ka qaraar maangoon
sainya bedardi mere
thoda sa pyaar maangoon
sainya bedardi mere
thoda sa pyaar maangoon
kismat bana de meri
duniya basa de meri
kar le sagaai meri jaan
haay re main tere qurbaan

कजरा मोहब्बत वाला
अखियों में ऐसा डाला
कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
दुनिया है मेरे पीछे
लेकिन मैं तेरे पीछे
अपना बना ले मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
कजरा मोहब्बत वाला
अखियों में ऐसा डाला
कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
आई हो कहाँ से गोरी
आँखों में प्यार ले के
आई हो कहाँ से गोरी
आँखों में प्यार ले के
चढ़ती जवानी की ये
पहली बहार ले के
दिल्ली शहर का सारा
मीना बाज़ार ले के
दिल्ली शहर का सारा
मीना बाज़ार ले के
झुमका बरेली वाला
कानों में ऐसा डाला
झुमके ने ले ली मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
दुनिया है मेरे पीछे
लेकिन मैं तेरे पीछे
अपना बना ले मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
मोटर ना बंगला माँगूँ
झुमका ना हार माँगूँ
मोटर ना बंगला माँगूँ
झुमका ना हार माँगूँ
दिल को जलाने वाले दिल का क़रार माँगूँ
सैंया बेदर्दी मेरे
थोड़ा सा प्यार माँगूँ
सैंया बेदर्दी मेरे
थोड़ा सा प्यार माँगूँ
किस्मत बना दे मेरी
दुनिया बसा दे मेरी
कर लै सगाई मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुर्बान
