Lyrics of Aah Ko Chaahiye Ek Umr Asar Hone Tak - आह को चाहिएँ एक उम्र असर होने तक
aah ko chahiye ek umar asar hone tak
kaun jeeta hai teri
kaun jeeta hai teri julf ke sar hone tak
kaun jeeta hai teri
kaun jeeta hai teri julf ke sar hone tak
kaun jeeta hai teri
aashiqi sabr talab haye aur tamanna betaab
aashiqi sabr talab aur tamanna betaab
dil ka kya rang karu khune jigar hone tak
dil ka kya rang karu
dil ka kya rang karu
humne mana ke tagaaful
humne mana ke tagaaful na karoge lekin
humne mana ke tagaaful na karoge lekin
khak ho jayenge
khak ho jayenge hum tum ko khabar hone tak
khak ho jayenge hum tum ko khabar hone tak
khak ho jayenge
yak nazar besh nahi
yak nazar besh nahi furasate hasti gaafil
garmi-e-bazm hai
garmi-e-bazm hai ik raqs-e-sharar hone tak
garmi-e-bazm hai ik raqs-e-sharar hone tak
garmi-e-bazm hai
gham-e-hasti ka asad kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
gham-e-hasti ka asad kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
shama har rang me jalti hai sahar hone tak
shama har rang me
Long long back in late seventies I was singing / playing instrument in my
room in district Mirzapur (UP), I met one Maharashtrian gentleman who had
come there for some technical job for a short visit to that place from
elsewhere, who told me that if he were fixing a nail on wall in his home
with hammer he would stop in between upon listening to Saigal's song on
Radio, abandon his stroke of hammer halfway in air, would sit next to the
Radio with hammer in his hand and start listening to the
Saigal-song----This was the hypnotic/magical effect of Saigal's songs on a
person who was a layman as far as music is concerned. After knowing this
and with repeated & diversified listening to Saigal's songs,Bhajans and
Ghazals in course of time, my respect and desire for Saigal's music went on
increasing.
