Nain lad jai hain toh

Laaga gori gujariya se neha hamaar
Hoi gawa saara chaupat mora rojgaar
Ooo...

Nain lad jai hain
Nain lad jai hain toh manwaama kasak hoibekari
Prem ka chhuti hai pataakha to dhamak hoibekari
Nain lad jai hain toh manwaama kasak hoibekari

Roop ko manma basaiba toh bura ka hoi hai
Roop ko manma basaiba toh bura ka hoi hai
Tohu se preet lagaiba
Tohu se preet lagaiba toh bura ka hoi hai
Prem ki nagarima kuchh hamara bhi haq hoibekari
Prem ki nagarima kuchh hamara bhi haq hoibekari

Nain lad jai hain

Hoi gawa manma more tirachhi najar ka hallaha
Hoi gawa manma more tirachhi najar ka halla
Gori ko dekhe bina
Gori ko dekhe bina nindiya na awai humka
Faans lagi hai to karejawaama khatak hoibekari
Faans lagi hai to karejawaama khatak hoibekari

Nain lad jai hain
Nain lad jai hain toh manwaama kasak hoibekari

Aankh mil jai hain sajaniya se toh naachan lagi hain
Aankh mil jai hain sajaniya se toh naachan lagi hain
Pyaar ki meethhi gajal

Jhaanjh baji hain toh kamariyaama latak hoibekari
Jhaanjh baji hani toh kamariyaama latak hoibekari

Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke
Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke
Kaisa jaadu daal ke re kaisa tona maar ke

Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke
Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke
Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke
Man le gayi re dhobaniya raama kaisa jaadu daal ke

A jolly old song. I enjoyed it the first time I heard it, decades ago. It makes me smile every time I think of it. Until then I had seen Dilip Kumar only in sad songs, and this came as a delightful surprise. It has him dancing (without a single misstep) and laughing all along. Interestingly enough,  Vyjayanthimala, who is such a graceful dancer appears to the end of the song and just stands there smiling! ~ S
