Yeh wohi geet hai

Yeh wohi geet hai jisko maine
Dhadkan mein basaya hai
Yeh wohi geet hai jisko maine
Dhadkan mein basaya hai
Tere hothhon se isko churaakar
Hothhon pe sajaya hai
Yeh wohi geet hai jisko maine
Dhadkan mein basaya hai
Yeh wohi geet hai,
Yeh wohi geet hai

Maine yeh geet jab gungunaaya
Saj gayi hai khayaalon ki mehfil
Maine yeh geet jab gungunaaya
Saj gayi hai khayaalon ki mehfil
Pyaar ke rang ankhon mein chhaaye
Pyaar ke rang ankhon mein chhaaye
Muskuraayi ujaalon ki mehfil
Pyaar ke rang ankhon mein chhaaye
Muskuraayi ujaalon ki mehfil
Muskuraayi ujaalon ki mehfil
Yeh woh nagma hai jo zindagi mein
Roshni ban ke aaya hai
Tere hothhon se isko churaakar
Hothhon pe sajaya hai
Yeh wohi geet hai,
Yeh wohi geet hai

O ho ho O ho ho

Mere dil ne yahi geet gaakar
Jab kabhi tujhko aawaaz di hai
Mere dil ne yahi geet gaakar
Jab kabhi tujhko aawaaz di hai
Phool zulfon mein apni sajaakar
Phool zulfon mein apni sajaakar
Tu mere saamne aa gayi hai
Phool zulfon mein apni sajaakar
Tu mere saamne aa gayi hai
Tu mere saamne aa gayi hai
Tujhko aksar meri bekhudi ne
Seene se lagaya hai
Tere hothhon se isko churaakar
Hothhon pe sajaaya hai

Yeh wohi geet hai jisko maine
Dhadkan mein basaya hai
Tere hothhon se isko churaakar
Hothhon pe sajaya hai
Yeh wohi geet hai,
Yeh wohi geet hai

Movie: Man Jaiye (1972)
Director: B. R. Ishara
Singer: Kishore Kumar
Lyricist: Naqsh Lyallpuri
Music Composer: Jaidev

Born as Jaswant Rai Sharma in Lyallpur district, now known as Faislabad in Pakistan, Naqsh Lyallpuri initially settled in Lucknow but later shifted to Bombay in the late 1940s. Although he started writing songs for films in 1952, he found success only in the 1970s, when he took on the pen name.

Lyallpuri wrote the books Teri Gali Ki Taraf, a collection of his non-film poems, and Angan Angan Barse Geet, which contains his songs from films, television serials, and music albums. 

He took a break from films in the 1990s because of his dislike of the lyrical style that was popular then. He later returned and wrote the songs for a few films in the 2000s. He was a founding member of the Indian Performing Rights Society. Lyallpuri died on 22 January 2017.

I vacillated quite a lot about choosing a song to dedicate to his memory. I thought of his more famous songs Tumhe Ho Na Ho from Gharaonda and Yeh mulakat ik bahana hai from Khandaan, but at the last minute chose this because it seemed more suitable for remembering a lyricist. ~ S
