βDum Bhar Jo Udharβ is a Mukesh-Lata duet sung on a small boat in the middle of the night. Shailendraβs lyrics embody a theme common in Hindi films, which emphasizes the shyness of the woman and the boldness of the man. Both man and woman address the only other witness to their trystβthe beautiful moon above. However, the woman begs the moon to look away and not make her feel shy, while the man eagerly urges the moon to shine upon him and witness their love blossom. The importance of moon imagery in Urdu-Hindi poetry is legendβmost often taking the form of a feminine metaphor that epitomizes beauty. In this case, however, the playful moon evokes the male gaze as a trusty ally to the hero and a source of embarrassment to the heroine. Itβs so adorable I could squirm.

This is a beautiful song "Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandi Main Hum Tum Mila toh Veerana Main Bhi Aa Jayegee Bahar". I think this song is from the film Chori Chori.

Baharo Phool Barsao Mera Mehboob Aaya Hai. One of the best songs even to this day. Cant get tired of listening to it. No wonder it topped the list. This song and "Do Sitaron Ka Zamin Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat" could easily be a tie. Let us see how many of you will like one of the two songs the most? Gosh it is hard to decide..

Chhoti Si Mulaqat Pyar bun Gayi, Pyar Bunke Gale Ka Haar Bun Gayi
Ya Ya Hippi Hippi Ya Ya ya, Ya Ya Hippi Hippi Ya Ya Ya...
This is a funny old time song taken from a film, "Chhoti Si Mulaqat"
a Party Song, 1967. Sung by VJ Mala and Uttam Kumar. My young daughter could not stop dancing and laughing at the lovely song last night when it came up while watching the film. The film was about a girl who was forced to get married when she was around 12. She was rescued but had a rough life becuz everyone thought that she was married in front of "Agni" meaning fire and taking rounds around it and taking marriage vows. Interesting. When she fell in love with a young man, she thought it was not right since she was already married when she was a child, so she requested him to leave her, and went back to her village to find that boy who she was married to, to our astonishment guess what happens next? Like who she finally became life partners with??
Radha, nice selections. Mere purani ke yaaden. Keep on posting.
Thanks Bai, but I do not know what happened to the mouse when we try to right click to get the song it simply will not work any more. It no longer shows "Copy", may be it is time to get a new lap top. It is strange when we try to copy articles then we are able to but not the songs.
Thanks Radha, Mits, for holding the fort, some of the songs that you guys posted are indeed classics and we will use them later on. So Now back to

Maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart
Rafi:
Naino mein thee pyaar kee roshanee
In the eyes was the glow of love
(Teree aankhon mein ye duniyaadaaree na thee)2
In your eyes this worldliness was not there
Lata:
Too aaur thaa, teraa dil aaur thaa
You were different, your heart was different
(Tere man mein ye meethhee kataaree na thee)2
Your heart did not hide this sweet dagger

If I get grief, what of it
Aaj pachhataaoon to kyaa

Gold and silver buys hearts for sale
Lata:
Is gaanw mein dard kee chhaanw me
In this village, under the shadow of pain
(Pyaar ke naam par hee dhadakate hain dil)2
The hearts beat in the name of love alone
(Chaand taaron ke tale raat ye gaatee chale)2
Under the moon and stars, the night sings along

I have given you my heart

Ramaiyaa vastavaiyaa ramaiyaa vastavaiyaa
Ramayaa won't you come to me

Thoughts of you torment me
Apane man ko manaanaa, naa aayaa hume
But I couldn't stop my heart from hurting
Too naa aaye to kyaa, bhool jaaye to kyaa
You didn't come, you forgot me
Pyaar kar ke bhoolaayaa naa aayaa hume
But I couldn't forget our love
Wahi se door se hee, too bhee ye kah de kabhee
Please tell me, even if it's from afar
Maine dil tujhko diyaa
I've given my heart to you

Rasta wohee aur musafir wohee
The path is the same, travelers same
(Ek tara na janey kahan chup gaya )2
A star, who knows where it got hid
Duniya wohee dunyawaley wohee
The world is the same, people the same
(Koi kya janey kis ka jahan lut gaya)2
No one knows someone's whole world was robbed

Who will dwell in my eyes who will say to me

O laali phool ki mehndi laga in gore haathon mein
May the red of the rose color the henna on her fair hands
Utar aa ae ghata kaajal laga in pyaari aankhon mein
Come down, black clouds, and be the kohl in her lovely eyes
Sitaaron maang bhar jaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Stars! Adorn the part in her hair! My love is here!
Bahaaron phool barsaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Blush of spring! Rain flowers down on her! My love is here!
Nazaaron har taraf ab taan do ek noor ki chaadar
Admiring glances! lay a blanket of radiance all around her!
Bada sharmila dilbar hai, chala jaaye na sharmaakar
My sweetheart is very bashful, lest she leave from shyness
Zara tum dil ko behlaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Gladden my heart! My love is here!
(Bahaaron phool barsaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Blush of spring! Rain flowers down on her! My love is here
Sajaayi hai jawaan kaliyon ne ab yeh sej ulfat ki
Tender buds have decorated this bed of romance
Inhe maaloom tha aayegi ek din ruth mohabbat ki
They know the time for love will come one day
Fizaaon rang bikhraao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Blossoms! Sprinkle the air with colors! My love is here
Hawaaon raagini gaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2
Winds! Sing the airs (melodies)! My love is here!
Bahaaron phool barsaao, (mera mehboob aaya hai)2

http://link1.songspk.pk/song1.php?songid=155
Ye raat jaise dulhan, ban gayi chiraagon se
Tonight,as she becomes a bride under lights
Karunga ujaala main dil ke daagon se
My heartache will shine brighter still
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi, parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Teri mehfil tere jalwe ho mubaarak tujhko
your gathering, your lustre, suits you well
Teri ulfat se nahin aaj bhi inkaar mujhe
Today I will not deny you your pleasure
Tera maikhaana salaamat rahe eh jaan-e-wafa
Bless your beguiling ways, lover
Muskuraakar tu zara dekh le ik baar mujhe
Favor me just once more with your smile
Phir tere pyaar ka mastaana chala jaayega
Then the one intoxicated with you will go
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Maine chaaha ki bata dun main haqeeqat apni
I wanted to tell you the truth about me,
Tune lekin na mera raaz-e-mohabbat samjha
But you did not see my secret love
Meri uljhan mere haalaat yaha tak pahonche
My troubles reached the point where
Teri aankhon ne mere pyaar ko nafrat samjha
you took my love for hate
Ab teri raah se begaana chala jaayega
Now this stranger will not be in your way
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Tu mera saath na de raah-e-mohabbat mein sanam
You did not walk the path of love with me
Chalte-chalte main kissi raah pe mud jaaunga
I will take a turn away from this path now
Kahkashaan chaand sitaare tere choomenge qadam
Rainbows, the moon and stars will kiss the ground you tread
Tere raste ki main ek dhool hun ud jaaunga
I am the dust in your path, I will blow away.
Saath mere mera afsaana chala jaayega
The tale of my love will go with me
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you

MUKESH:YESTERYEAR LEGEND
He was so good at his trade, his voice resonated with emotions, raw emotions that would hold one spellbound like the ancient mariner would, weaving a tale that must be told, and after then, that impact of that story would remain for a lifetime. Such was the golden voice of the Legendary Master, like a magician he would hold one fixated whils't he weaves his enchanting spell with accuracy at the beholders, who can only be dumbstruck with awe, such emotions and sadness would truly soothes the listeners and create that impact to last a lifetime. The man that was endowed with that "bardaan" was Mukesh Chand Mathur, known as Mukesh.

10) JAOON KAHAN BATA AY DIL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R15OyGa6Q50
Hmm hhmm hmmm hhmm
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
The world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane
The moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil
I perceive no destination
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Ban ke tute yahaan, Arazu ke mahal
Collapsed when built here, the castles of desires
Ye zamein, Asamaan, bhi ga e hain badal
Changed is this earth, this sky
(Kahati hai zindagi, is jahaan se nikal)2
Life tells me, lets leave this world
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
The world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane
The moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil
I perceive no destination
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Hay is par to, Aansuon ki dagar
Woe, this side is the pathway of tears
Jane us paar kya, ho kise ye khabar
What is on the other side, who knows
(Thokarein, kha rahi, har kadam par nazar )2
Stumbling here on each step, each glance
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
The world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane
The moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil
I perceive no destination
Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go, tell me O heart

The sky/heaven is raining and so are my eyes
Dekho Tarse Hai Man Ab To Aaja
Look my heart is full of yearning, come now
Sheetal Pavan Yeh Lagaye Agan
Cool breeze burns me, lights a fire
O Sajan Ab To Mukhada Dikha Ja

How well have you kept your promises of love

Ek Pal Hai Milna Ek Pal Bichhadna
One mement we meet, the next we separate
Duniya Hai Do Din Ka Mela
This world is a Two Day Fair

SIXTEEN CENTURY MOVIE OF RANI ROOPMATI
GUITAR INSTRUMENTALS OF: AA LAUT KI AJA MERE MEET
YESTERYEAR CLASSICS OF BOLLYWOOD
A heart breaking one reflecting the parting of lovers. The lyrics are great,
Whenever duets are being sung and listened to, this would certainly comes to mind.
Lata when she was a teenager, Mukesh very young, the movie was a mega hit during its days, "Barsaat" evoked so much memories whenever it is mentioned; the songs even today could be regarded as hummable hits.
The soothing voices of Mukesh and Lata enacted by Raj Kapoor and Nargis blended so superbly in this tune, it can be reffered to as one of the best duets ever, a Classic or truly a gem of yesteryear. How can we not include this one?
I know that someone will chide me for including this very sad one, but I guess that it is serving its purpose. Enjoy a Barsaat Selection of 1949:

12) CHOD GAYE BALAM MERA PYAR BHARA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8i2d9lWFHs
Mukesh:
Chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
My beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
Tod gaye baalam mera pyar bhara dil tod gaye
My beloved has broken my loving heart
Lata:
Chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
My beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
Chhut gaya baalam haai saath hamara chhut gaya
Lost is my beloved, woe, lost is our togetherness
Ruuth gaya baalam mera pyar bhara dil tuut gaya
Not talking to me, my loving heart has been broken
Lata:
Phool sang muskaye kaliyan main kaise muskaaub
With flowery smile of the flower buds, how can I smile
Baadal dekh ke bhar aayi ankhiyan - 2
I saw the rain clouds and my eyes brimmed
Cham cham neer bahaaun main cham cham neer bahaaun
Cham cham, my tear drops flow, cham cham my tear drops flow
Chhut gaya baalam gaai saath hamara chhut gaya
Lost is my beloved, lost is our togetherness
Ruuth gaya baalam mera pyar bhara dil tuut gaya
not talking to me, my beloved, my loving heart has been broken
Mulesh:
Dil ki lagi ko kya koi jaane main jaanu dil jaane
The pain of my heart who can know? only my heart knows
(Palkon ke chaya mein naache)2
Dancing under my eyelashes
Dard bhare afsaanse haai dard bhare afsaane
tales of grief, woe, tales of grief
Chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
My beloved has deserted me, left me all alone
Tod gaye baalam mera pyar bhara dil tod gaye
My beloved has broken my loving heart
Lata:
(Pehle mann mein aag lagi aur phir barsi barsaat)2
First a fire raged in my heart then came the downpour
(Aaisi chali birhaah ki aandhi)2
Such was the windstorm of separation
Tadpat hu din raat haai main tadpat hu din raat
That I am in agony day and night, I am in agony day and night
Chhut gaya baalam gaai saath hamara chhut gaya
Lost is my beloved, lost is our togetherness
Mukesh:
Chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod ga
My beloved has deserted me, left me all alone
