tu kahan ye bataa

Nostalgic

A pertinent song in memory of the great maestro, Mohd. Rafi on his birth anniversary or just birthday because he still lives in our hearts ,our souls embalmed each time by his soothing songs, feeling rejuvenated with a 'yahoo...' ,

mischeivous on 'choo lene do naazuk hothon ko...', 

poetic while chanting 'tasveer teri dil mein..', 

romantic and playful with 'isharon isharon mein..' ,

 the sombre 'aaj purani raahon se..'  , 

childish at the tune of  'chanda ko dhundne saare taare..'

or patriotic with jinhein naaz hai hind par..'. 

For each mood, taste, occasion, there are many to suit the purpose. 

Many many happy returns of the day :-)

o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

jaane chaman, shola badan, pehlu mein aa jaao

o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

madhosh hai zindagi, chaaron taraf bekhudi -(2)

thaamo mujhe main gira, thaamo mujhe main gira

laheraaye dil ki lagi

jaane chaman, shola badan, pehlu mein aa jaao

o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

paani jo hum par gire, ek aag tan mein lage -(2)

tumko khabar kya sanam, tumko khabar kya sanam

kehte hai ulfat ise

o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

oye hoye, jaane chaman, shola badan, pehlu mein aa jaao

baadal se barse nasha, bheegi hui hai fiza -(2)

thandi hawa jab chale, thandi hawa jab chale

kaanpe hai dil ka jiya

o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

haai, jaane chaman, shola badan, pehlu mein aa jaao

haai, o mere dil, mere humdum, baahon mein aa jaao

jaane chaman, shola badan, pehlu mein aa jaao

chanda ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade

bachchon

ek samay ki baat suno, andhiyaari thi raat suno

deepak chori ho gayaa, chaand kahin par kho gayaa,

-phir kyaa huaa?

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade -(2)

galiyon men woh, naseeb ke maare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade -(2)

galiyon men woh naseeb ke maare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

unki nazar kaa jis ne nazaaraa churaa liyaa

unke dilon kaa jis ne sahaaraa churaa liyaa

us chor ki talaash mein saare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

gam ki andheri raat mein jalnaa padaa unhe

phoolon ke badle kaanton pe chalanaa padaa unhe

dharati pe jab gagan ke dulaare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

unki pukaar sun ke yeh dil dagamagaa gayaa

hum ko bhi koi bichhadaa huaa yaad aa gayaa

bhar aai aankh,aansu hamaare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

galiyon men woh naseeb ke maare nikal pade

chandaa ko dhoondne sabhi taare nikal pade 

humdum mere,maan bhi jao

Eid Mubarak

humdum mere maan bhi jao

kehna mere pyar ka

are halka halka surkh labon pe

rang to hai ikraar ka

humdum mere maan bhi jao

are halka halka surkh labon pe

rang to hai ikraar ka

humdum mere

pyar muhabbat ki hawa,pehale chalti hai

fir ik lat inkar ki,rukh pe dhalti hai

pyar muhabbat ki ,pehale chalti hai

fir ik lat inkar ki,rukh pe dhalti hai

ye sach hai kam se kam

to ai mere sanam

latein chehare se sarkao

tamanna ankhen malti hain

humdum mere maan bhi jao

kehna mere pyar ka

are halka halka surkh labon pe

rang to hai ikraar ka

tumse mil mil ke samaa,duniya mahkaye

badal ne chori kiye,anchal ke saye

tumse mil mil ke samaa,duniya mahkaye

badal ne chori kiye,anchal ke saye

ye sach hai kam se kam

to ai mere sanam

chura loon main bhi do jalwe

mera armaan bhi rah jaye

humdum mere maan bhi jao

kehna mere pyar ka

are halka halka surkh labon pe

rang to hai ikraar ka

humdum mere
