Tere Bin Soone Nayan Humaare

Aaa...
Tere bin soone
Tere bin soone nayan humaare
Tere bin soone
Baat takat gaye saanjh sakaare haaye
Tere bin soone nayan humaare
Tere bin soone

O... Raat jo aaye dhal jaaye pyaasi
Raat jo aaye dhal jaaye pyaasi
Din ka hai dooja naam udaasi
Nindiyaan na aaye,
Nindiyaan na aaye, ab mere dwaare

Tere bin soone nayan humaare
Tere bin soone

O... Jag mein raha main, jag se paraaya
Jag mein raha main, jag se paraaya
Saaya bhi mera mere paas na aaya
Hansne ke din bhi
Hansne ke din bhi roke guzaare

Tere bin soone nayan humaare
Tere bin soone
Baat takat gaye saanjh sakaare haaye
Tere bin soone

O... O... O andekhe, o anjaane
O andekhe, o anjaane
Chhup ke na gaa yeh prem taraane
Kaun hai tu mohe
Kaun hai tu mohe kuchh toh bataa re

Tere bin soone nayan humaare
Tere bin soone
Baat takat gaye saanjh sakhaare
Tere bin soone

Music Composer: S. D. Burman

There are so many wonderful songs in this film. ‘Poocho na kaise maine’ and ‘Nache mann mora magan’ are family favourites, along with this song. I chose this because although the male portion seems terribly sad, it ends with some hope as the female portion seems to suggest that the affection is reciprocated. Oh, I have watched the film and know that it has a sad story; probably that’s what is making me maudlin. ~ S
