This is what I was looking for so long

Here is one of my most favs: timeless.

Good to see you too Lahure. I see that you've posted the song that you've often praised as your favorite. :-) It's a beautiful and timeless one no doubt.

One of my best friends was equally smitten with this song as you are. We were undergrads then ....brings back memories of those wonderful days .....her head on my lap, my fingers stroking her beautiful long hair, i loved her hair cuz i never could have such beautiful, thick, cascading hair.....she'd ask me to sing her this song.....those were charming moments that we shared through this song ....

Thanks Sajha.. I appreciate it.

pire bro, ke garnu baisa maa 'lop' paryaa chot aile samma laagyaa chha. geet le ajhai n00n chook dalne kaam garchha.

SIMPLEGAL --you are simply amazing. THANKS A BUNCH. BTW, IT WAS KIND OF HEALED UNTIL YOU POSTED ANOTHER "NOON-CHOOK" . THOSE OP NAYYAR AND MADAN MOHAN (?) NUMBERS TOUCHED MY RAW NERVE AGAIN..GHAAU MAA NOON CHOOK DALYAA JASTAI

BY THE WAY, THAT O.P.NAYYAR AND MADAN MOHAN ONE IS SOOOO CLASSIC. how ABOUT THIS ONE?

MUJHE DARDE DIL KAA PATAA NA THAA
MUJHE AAP KISA LIYE MIL GAYE
MAI YUHEE AKELE MAJE MAE THAA
MUJHE AAP KISILIYE MIL GAYEE

YU HEE APANE APANE SAFAR ME GOOM
KABHI DOOR MAI KAHIN DUR TOOM
KAHI DOOR TUM, 'CHALE JAA RAHETHE JUDAA JUDAA
MUJHE AAP KISILIYE MILGYEE
MAI YOUHEE AKELE MAJE ME THAA
MUJHE AAP KISILIYE MIL GAYEE

NAA MAI CHAAD HU ISI SHAAM KAA
NAA CHARAAG HU KISI BAAMA KAA
ISI BAAMA KAA
MAI TO RAASATE KAA HU EK DIYAA
MUJHE AAPA KISILIYE MIL GAYEE
MAI AKELE YU HEE MAJE ME THAA
MUJHE AAP KISILIYE MIL GAYEE

MUJHE DAREDE DIL...

Since I am on a romantic rampage today, I thought I'd include this song as well with the ultimate romantic hero Shammi Kapoor .....

Hai duniya usiki zamana usi ka
Mohabbat mein jo ho gaya ho kisi ka ............

JOHN GALT--WHAT A CHOICE!! ONE OF MY FAVS FROM MEHDI HASSAN. THANKS, THANKS A BUNDH.

HEY SIMPLEGAL--HOW ABOUT SOME FROM TEESREE MANZIL? AND OP NAYYAR'S 'AANKHO ME UTARWW HAI DILAME' BY ASHA?

OOOPPS!! I MEANT 'AANKHO ME JO UTAREE HAI DILAME, TASABEER HAI IKA ANJAANE KKI.. DHUNDA RAHE HAI SHAMAA JISE KYAA BAAT HAI US PARAWAANE KI'

Here's my fave from Teesri Manzil .....




tumne mujhe dekha hokar meherbaan
ruk gayee yeh zameen tham gaya asmaan
jaan-e-man jaan-e-jaan .............

To be honest, the music of this song, along with Mohd. Rafi's voice make this song very SEXY!! :-)

Lahurejyu,

My sincere apologies that I could not keep up with your earlier replies, actually, the thread gets lost so soon, it is hard to search it, and when I finally do, it is too defunct to reply back. Nonetheless, friends like you do not need replies to remain friends, do they? That beautiful song from "Anand" chokes me up everytime I listen to it. Why did they have to kill Rajesh Khanna in the end?

Khabardar,
Thanks, that was a true ghazal in the face of modern ghazal singers like pankaj udhas et al. Even quality singers like jagjit singh become so industrialized that they sing for movies these days which are merely a "nazm", a far cry from being a ghazal. Shall post more great songs if time permits.

Talat mehmood:

HEY JOHN GALT,
I AGREE WITH YOU.. . WITH GHAZAL SINGERS SPROUTING LIKE MUSHROOMS DURING MONSOON, IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO TELL GHAZAL FROM NAZM. BTW, MY ALL TIME BEST OF MEHENDI IS
' DEKH TO DIL KI JAAN SE UTHATAA HAI,
EK DHUAAN KAHAASE UTTHATAA HAI.."
WOULD APPRECIATE IF ANYBODY CAN POST IT HERE.

SIMPLEGAL, THAT TEESRI MANZIL HAS A LOT OF SWASHBUCKLING SHAMMI KAPOOR.. THANKS FOR A GREAT SONG BY PANCHAM (RD).
"WHO IS THE SINGER IN THIS MASTERPIECE?
"JAB DIP JALE AANAA,
JABA SHAAM DHALE AANAA,
SANKET MILANA KAA BHULA NA JAANAA,
MERAA PYAAR NA BICHHADAA NAA
JABA DIP JALE AANAA...

Just when the thread's getting all melidious, Meera has to come and mess it up (I said it before somebody else could)

All I can say in my defense is, I didn't find another thread where the song would fit, so here it is :)

The song's worth copying, pasting and listening to

Back to basics

I am not done pasting ;p

The end:

Since some of you are Ustad of old songs collection..may be you could help me find this song.. i have no clue about the movie and singer..i just know the song..and i fall for it each time I listen to it..
NA YAY CHAND HOGA
NA TARAY RAHEIN GAY
MAGAR HUM HAMESHA
TUMARE RAHEIN GAY..
I think Nagis and Guru Dutt was in it.. not sure :-(

chithi aye hai - pankaj udhas

Rajesh Khanna with Nepali Cap and the beautiful Dazz.

Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar......Jagjit Singh
