Here are the lyrics of the song 'teri mehfil me..' from Mughal-ae-aazam, which
someone had requested a few days ago. For those who haven't seen the movie or
had seen it aeons ago here is the setting.
Saleem (heir apparent to Akbar, the Great) has returned after several years at
the battle front and is leading a somewhat relaxed life meant to freshen him
up. He gets to see Nadira (dubbed 'Anarkali' by Akbar) and it is love at first
sight between them. However, as usual, there is always the third person - a
rich, upper class girl called Bahaar who cherishes Saleem's love and dreams of
being the empress of the golden empire.
This song is set when the competition is just beginning to heat up - Saleem is
being entertained by both Bahaar and Anarkali and both of them present their
individual viewpoints on what a true loving life should be like ...
I think Shamshaad Begum sings for Bahaar (Shashikala ?) and Lata sings for
Anarkali (Madhubala).
Here goes,
SB: teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar ham bhi dekhenge
ghadi bhar ko tere nazdeek aakar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
aji haan ham bhi dekhenge - 2
LM: teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar ham bhi dekhenge
tere kadmo ki taraf n?? jhuka kar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
aji haan ham bhi dekhenge - 2
SB: bahaaren aaj paigaam-ae-mohabbat le ke aayi hain
badi mudat me ummeedon ki kaliyaan muskurayi hain
badi mudat me aji haan
badi mudat me ummeedon ki kaliyaan muskurayi hain
gam-ae-dil se jara daaman bachakar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
aji haan ham bhi dekhenge
LM: agar dil gam se khali ho to jeene ka maza kya hai
na ho khoon-ae-jigar to ashq peene ka maza kya hai
na ho khoon-ae-jigar haan han
na ho khoon-ae-jigar to ashq peene ka maza kya hai
mohabbat me jara aansu bahakar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
aji haan ham bhi dekhenge
SB: mohabbat karne walo ka hai bas itna hi afsaana
tadapna chupke chupke aahen bharna ghut ke mar jaana
tadapna chupke chupke haan han
tadapna chupke chupke aahen bharna ghut ke mar jaana
kisi din ye tamasha muskura kar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar ham bhi dekhenge
aji haan ham bhi dekhenge
LM: mohabbat hamne maana zindagi barbaad karti hai
ye kya kam hai ke mar jaane se duniya yaad karti hai
ye kya kam hai aji haan han
ye kya kam hai ke mar jaane se duniya yaad karti hai
kisi ke ishq me duniya lutakar ham bhi dekhenge - 2
teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar ham bhi dekhenge
LM tere kadmo ki taraf n??? uthakar aa aa ..
SB ghadi bhar ko tere nazdeek aakar aa aa ..
both teri mehfil me kismat aazma kar ham bhi dekhenge
SB aji haan ham bhi dekhenge
LM aji haan ham bhi dekhenge
Now that I am at it here are the lyrics of another beauty from the same
movie. The setting, however, is depressing and I shall leave it for you to
see (when you get the movie from the nearest desi video-library on one of the
forthcoming weekends ...).
Presenting the lyrics of 'ye dil ki lagi kam kya hogi...'
ye dil ki lagi kam kya hogi
ye ishq bhala kam kya hoga
jab raat hai aisi matwaali - 2
phir subah ka aalam kya hoga - 2
nagmo se barasti hai masti
tchalke hain khushi ke paimaane - 2
aaj aisi bahaaren aayi hain
kal jinke banenge afsaane - 2
ab isse jiyaada aur haseen ye pyaar ka mausam kya hoga - 2
jab raat hai aisi matwaali
phir subah ka aalam kya hoga - 2
ye aaj ka rang aur ye mehfil
dil bhi hai yahaan dildaar bhi hai - 2
aankho me qayamat ke jalve
seene me sulagta pyaar bhi hai - 2
is rang me koi ji le agar marne ka use gam kya hoga - 2
jab raat hai aisi matwaali
phir subah ka aalam kya hoga - 2
haalat hai ajab deewano ki
ab khair nahi parvaano ki - 2
anjaam-ae-mohabbat kya kahiye
laya bhadhne lagi armaano ki - 2
aise me jo payal toot gayi phir ae mere hamdam kya hoga - 2
jab raat hai aisi matwaali - 2
phir subah ka aalam kya hoga - 2
In both the songs most of the lines marked '- 2' are repeated in chorus.
Have fun,
Manish
