Rafi Sb – In The Seventies – 4

(1972 – Duet)
Here is the duet that I have selected from 1972. Another peerless and lovely memory from the radio listening days. A song that is softly composed and softly rendered in a leisurely pace. Asha Bhosle accompanies Rafi Sb in the singing. The film is ‘Parchhaaiyaan’, the lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri and the music composition is by RD Burman. On screen, this song is performed by Vinod Khanna, a new comer heroine, Reshma. A name that I am not familiar with at all. Apparently she appeared in not many films. Given the on screen presence, it is likely she did not make any lasting impressions at all.
Vinod Khanna had made his debut in 1968 (film ‘Man Ka Meet’ from Sunil Dutt’s Ajanta Arts). He was still a rising star, somewhat unfamiliar as a hero. In the three years before this film, he has appeared in many films, but mostly as supporting roles, or in the role of a villain – remember Jabbar Singh in ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ (1971). This film could well be one his very first films as a hero.
Once again, a song that has remained with me after listening on the radio. In any case, opportunities for getting to see films in the theatre used to be rare. Dorodarshan used to be the regular fare for watching films, and they rarely showed recent films. Mostly it used to be the films more than a decade old. So I never did get to see this film. But this song is a treasure of a soft, romantic variety that I remained in the memory. It is a song that I would fancy singing with someone special, or use its lines in love letters. ;) The words are very simple expressions of feelings that go down very deep in the heart. In short verses, Majrooh Sb has expressed what we mortals would write essays for. And the manner in which the lines are rendered makes them even more effective and loveable. A melody from a very different part of RD Burman’s creativity. And a memorable one, I must add.
A lovely song that is so easy to fall in love with. Listen and enjoy.

Lyrics
saanson mein kabhi
dil mein kabhi
nazron mein rahaa karna
jag bairi ho to kya
tum humse wafaa karna
saanson mein kabhi
dil mein kabhi
nazron mein rahaa karna
jag bairi ho to kya
tum hamse wafaa karna
jaane pyaar nibhaana
deewaane dil ki lagi ke ae ae
jaane pyaar nibhaana aa
deewaane dil ki lagi ke
kya hai mohabbat
zamaana humse ye seekhe
pyaar hum ne kiya
pyaar humko sadaa karnaa
saanson mein kabhi
dil mein kabhi
nazron mein rahaa karna
jag bairi ho to kya
tum hamse wafaa karna
aaye khushiyon ka mausam
aa haa
ke aaye gham ka maheena aa
aaye khushiyon ka mausam
aa haa
ke aaye gham ka maheena
tumhi pe marnaa
tumhaare sang hi hai jeena
kabhi hoyen naa judaa
bas itni duaa karna
o o o
saanson mein kabhi
dil mein kabhi
nazron mein rahaa karna
jag bairi ho to kya
tum hamse wafaa karna
jag bairi ho to kya
tum hamse wafaa karna

साँसों में कभी
दिल में कभी
नज़रों में रहा करना
जग बैरी हो तो क्या
तुम हमसे वफा करना
साँसों में कभी
दिल में कभी
नज़रों में रहा करना
जग बैरी हो तो क्या
तुम हमसे वफा करना
जाने प्यार निभाना
दीवाने दिल की लगी के
जाने प्यार निभाना
दीवाने दिल की लगी के
क्या है मोहब्बत
ज़माना हमसे ये सीखे
प्यार हमने किया
प्यार हमको सदा करना
साँसों में कभी
दिल में कभी
नज़रों में रहा करना
जग बैरी हो तो क्या
तुम हमसे वफा करना
आए खुशियों का मौसम
आ हा
या आए ग़म का महीना
आए खुशियों का मौसम
आ हा हा
या आए ग़म का महीना
तुम्ही पे मरना
तुम्हारे संग संग है जीना
कभी होएँ ना जुदा
बस इतनी दुआ करना
ओ ओ ओ
साँसों में कभी
दिल में कभी
नज़रों में रहा करना
जग बैरी हो तो क्या
तुम हमसे वफा करना
जग बैरी हो तो क्या
तुम हमसे वफा करना
