Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare

Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare
Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare
Ho, mere rang gaye saanjh sakaa re
Tu toh ankhiyon se jaane ji ki batiyaan
Tose milna hi julum bhaya re
Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare

Dekhi sawli surat yeh naina judaaye
Dekhi sawli surat
Teri chhab dekhi jab se re
Teri chhab dekhi jab se re naina judaaye
Bhaye bin kajra ye kajraare

Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare
Ho, mere rang gaye saanjh sakaa re

Ja ke panghat pe baithhun main raadha diwaani
Ja ke panghat pe baithhun

Bin jal liye chali aaon
Bin jal liye chali aaon raadha diwaani
Mohe ajab ye rog laga re

Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare
Ho, mere rang gaye saanjh sakaa re

Meethi meethi agan ye seh na sakungi
Meethi meethi agan
Main to chhui-mui abla re
Main to chhui-mui abla re, seh na sakungi
Mere aur nikat mat aa re

O, Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare
Ho, mere rang gaye saanjh sakaa re
Tu toh ankhiyon se jaane ji ki batiyaan
Tose milna hi julum bhaya re
Jogi jab se tu aaya mere dwaare

Bandini’s soundtrack is really wonderful for so many reasons, but really are there better descriptions of a woman in love than ‘Mora gora ang le le’ and ‘Jogi jab se tu aaya’. We have already featured the first, so it’s time now for the second. One addresses the universe as a witness to newly awakened feelings and the other addresses the imagined presence of the loved one. Amazingly, one was penned by Gulzar and the other by Shailendra and yet they feel so organic to the plot and the character. I think what ties them together is Nutan on screen and Lata Manageshkar off of it. SD Burman’s music for both songs is different but wonderful in both. All of this to say, I love both songs! ~ R
