Jaane kya tune kahi

Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi

Sansanahat si hui, thartharahat si hui
Sansanahat si hui, thartharahat si hui
Jaag uthhe khwaab kayi
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi

Nain jhuk jhuk ke uthhe, paav ruk ruk ke uthhe
Nain jhuk jhuk ke uthhe, paav ruk ruk ke uthhe
Aa gayi chaal nayi
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi

Zulf shaane pe mudi, ek khushboo si udi
Zulf shaane pe mudi, ek khushboo si udi
Khul gaye raaz kayi
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi, jaane kya maine suni
Baat kuch bann hi gayi
Jaane kya tune kahi

What a lovely song! Geeta Dutt’s voice and Waheeda Rehman on screen are great, of course, but I also love Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics. It is a beautiful description of a gentle animation of desire. ~ R
