Lag jaa gale

Lag jaa gale…hmmm…haseen raat….

Lag jaa gale, ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale, ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale… ae… ae

Humko mili hain aaj ye ghadiyaan naseeb se
Humko mili hain aaj ye ghadiyaan naseeb se
Jee bhar ke dekh lijiye humko kareeb se
Phir aapke naseeb mein ye baat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho

Lag jaa gale… ae… ae

Paas aayiye ke hum nahin aayenge baar baar
Paas aayiye ke hum nahin aayenge baar baar
Baahen gale mein daal ke hum ro le zaar zaar
Aankhon se phir ye pyaar ki barsaat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho

Lag jaa gale, ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale… ae… ae


Movie: Woh Kaun Thi? (1964)

Director: Raj Khosla

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar

Lyricist: Raja Mehdi Ali Khan

Music Composer: Madan Mohan

I am not a Lata Mangeshkar fan; I prefer her sister. However, I am forced to admit that this is a beautiful rendition and the young Lata Mangeshkar’s voice is everything that you can want for a mystery featuring an irresistible young woman. The lovely haunting music and the beautiful lyrics (the sounds are particularly lovely—hum ro le zaar zaar) make up the layers on this cake and the alluring Sadhana is the icing. ~ R
