Teri aankhon ke siva

Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain
Ye uthey subah chale, ye jhukey shyam dhale
Mera jeena mera marna, inhi palkon ke taley
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain

Palkon ki galiyon mein chehre baharon ke hastey hue
Hain mere khwabon ke kya kya nagar in mein bastey hue
Palkon ki galiyon mein chehre baharon ke hastey hue
Ye uthey subah chale, ye jhukey shyam dhale
Mera jeena mera marna, inhi palkon ke taley
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain

In mein mere aane wale zamaane ki tasveer hain
Chahat ke kajal se likhi hui meri taqdeer hain
In mein mere aane wale zamaane ki tasveer hain
Ye uthey subah chale, ye jhukey shyam dhale
Mera jeena mera marna, inhi palkon ke taley
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain

Yeh ho kahin in ka says mere dil se jaata nahin
Inke siva ab kuch bhi nazar mujhko aata nahin
Yeh ho kahin in ka says mere dil se jaata nahin

Ye uthey subah chale, ye jhukey shyam dhale
Mera jeena mera marna, inhi palkon ke taley
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakha kya hain


Movie: Chirag (1969)

Director: Raj Khosla

Singers: Mohammed Rafi

Lyricist: Majrooh Sultanpuri

Music Composer: Madan Mohan

Just a charming song, with Majrooh Sultanpuri’s vivid words gently and lovingly rendered by Mohammed Rafi. The music is just as tender, almost fading to nothing when Rafi hits the high notes, allowing that emotive voice to hog the spotlight. The little stanza by Lata does not make as much impact in my opinion, but it’s still a lovely listen. ~ R
