Lag ja gale – Woh Kaun Thi (1964)

This gem is from another movie Woh Kaun Thi (1964) directed by Raj Khosla, featuring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana.  Music is by Madan Mohan and the lyrics have been penned by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan . Sung by the Nightingale of India – Lata Mangeshkar.

Lyrics:

Lag jaa gale ke fir ye haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad fir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho

Hum ko milee hain aaj ye ghadiyaan naseeb se
Jee bhar ke dekh lijiye  humko kareeb se
Fir aap ke naseeb mein ye baat ho na ho
Shaayad fir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho

Paas aiye ke hum nahin aayenge baar baar
Bahein gale mein daal ke, hum ro le jaar jaar
Aakhon se fir ye pyaar ki barsaat ho na ho
Shaayad fir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho

Lyrics:

O sajanaa, barkhaa bahaar aai
Ras ki phuhaar laayi, ankhiyon me pyaar laayi

Tumko pukaare mere mann kaa papiharaa
Meethi Meethi agnii mein, jale moraa jiyaraa

Aisi rimjhim mein o saajan, pyaase pyaase mere nayan
Tere hi, khwaab mein, kho gaye
Saanvli saloni ghataa, jab jab chhayi
Ankhiyon men rainaa gayi, nindiyaa na aayi

Lyrics: Raja Mehdi Ali Khan

Raga: Bhimpalasi Thaat: Kafi

Nainon mein badraa chaye bijlii si chamke aaye
Aise mein balam mohe darwaa lagale

Madiraa mein doobii ankhiyaan Chanchal hai donon sakhiyaan
Jalte rahenge tohe Palkon ki pyaarii bathiyaan
Sharmaa ke denge tohe madiraa ke pyaale

Prem deewaani hun main Sapnon ki raani hun main
Pichle janam se teri prem kahaanii hun main
Aa is janam mein bhi tu apna bana le
