Songs for All Occasions

I almost never tire of listening to some of these melodies from old Hindi films.

Machalti hui hawa mein chham chham hamare sung sung chale Ganga ki lehrein.

Ajnabi tum jaane pehchaane se lagte ho...

Tu laali hai savere wali gagan rang de tu mere man ka..

Yeh duniyawale poochhenge , mulaqat hui, kya baat hui, yeh baat kisise na kehna..

Lakhon hain yahan dilwale, aur pyar nahin milta, aankhon mein kisi ki wafa ka ikraar nahin milta..

Tumse badhkar duniya mein na dekha koi aur, zubaan par aaj dil ki baat aa gayi..

Jab chhaye, mera jadoo, koi bach na paaye

Phoolon ke rang se, dil ki kalam se..

Are yaar meri, tum bhi ho ghazab...

Of course, this is only a short list. There are lots more.

Songs That Stay With You (Me)

For some reason, these songs remain with me for a long time whenever I hear them..

Chhoti si mulaqat pyaar ban gayi....highlight is Uttam Kumar discoing.

Main chali, main chali dekho pyaar ki gali...a breezy one where Saira Banu and friends are on a bicycle picnic..

Aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche har zabaan par...music is absolutely foot-tapping.

Pyar karta ja, dil kehta hai, kaanto mein bhi gul khila....I think it is from Bhoot Bangla, where Mehmood played hero.

Tumhari nazar kyun khafaa ho gayi, khata baksh do gar khata ho gayi...from Do Kaliyan, I think.

Le jaayenge, le jaayenge dilwale dulhaniya le jaayenge...from Chor Machaye Shor

Deewana hua baadal..

Dil ka bhanwar kare pukaar, pyar ka raag suno..in the Qutab Minar..

Pal bhar ke liye koi hamein pyaar kar le jhoota hi sahi...Johny Mera Naam

Piya o, piya o piya kuch bol do, are o, dil ka parda khol do...jab pyaar kisi se hota hai

Jab chhaye mera jadu, koi bach na paaye...from Loot Maar

Zindagi, ittefaq hai...from Aadmi aur Insaan

Parde mein rehne do, parda na uthao, from Shikaar
