Hothon se chhoo lo tum

Hothon se chhoo lo tum, mera geet amar kar do
Hothon se chhoo lo tum, mera geet amar kar do
Bann jaao meet mere, meri preet amar kar do
Hothon se chhoo lo tum, mera geet amar kar do

Na umr ki seema ho, na janm ka ho bandhan
Na umr ki seema ho, na janm ka ho bandhan
Jab pyaar kare koi, toh dekhe keval mann
Nayi reet chalaakar tum, yeh reet amar kar do
Nayi reet chalaakar tum, yeh reet amar kar do

Aakaash ka soonapan mere tanha mann mein
Aakaash ka soonapan mere tanha mann mein
Paayal chhankaati tum aa jaao jeevan mein
Saansein dekar apni, sangeet amar kar do
Sangeet amar kar do, mera geet amar kar do

Jag ne chheena mujhse, mujhe jo bhi laga payara
Jag ne chheena mujhse, mujhe jo bhi laga pyaara
Sab jeeta kiye mujhse, main har dumm hi haara
Tum haarke dil apna meri jeet amar kar do
Tum haarke dil apna meri jeet amar kar do

Hothon se chhoo lo tum, mera geet amar kar do


Movie: Prem Geet (1981)

Director: Sudesh Issar

Singers: Jagjit Singh

Lyricist: Indeevar

Music Composer: Jagjit Singh

A lovely song that is often on replay mode in my music system. I love what Indeevar has done with the lyrics: they are simple, can be easily understood and yet, there is a depth of feeling in them “Aakaash ka soonapan mere tanha mann mein….” And the music… I did not know Jagjit Singh doubled as composer. I love his voice but this one made me admire his composition skills as well. A perennial favourite. ~ R
