jhumta mausam mast mahina, chand si gori ek hasina
aankh me kajal muh pe pasina
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
koi rangila sapno me aake, ek najar se apna bana ke
pyar ka jadu hampe chala ke
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
thandi sadak nim tale tir-e-najar khub chale
o tum bhi udhar jakhmi huye, ham bhi idhar jakhmi huye
haye lal chunariya chal nirali, sar pe jhumar kan me bali
hath me chudiya motiyo vali
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
koi rangila sapno me aake, ek najar se apna bana ke
pyar ka jadu hampe chala ke
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
tum bhi yaha ham bhi yaha aisa milan hoga kaha
o teri kasam jan-e-jaha, dil hai vahi tu hai jaha
o dil ka malik ik matvala, is jahan me sabse nirala
pyar ka suraj dil ka ujala
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
jhumta mausam mast mahina, chand si gori ek hasina
aankh me kajal muh pe pasina
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
dono taraf aag lagi, aisi lagi bujh na saki
o tum bhi jale ham bhi jale, khil to gayi dil ki kali
mukhda tera gul ki kahani, julfe teri shyam suhani
rup ki mallika pyar ki rani
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
koi rangila sapno me aake, ek najar se apna bana ke
pyar ka jadu hampe chala ke
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
jhumta mausam mast mahina, chand si gori ek hasina
aankh me kajal muh pe pasina
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gaya
ya allah, ya allah, dil le gayi
All time great musical maestros who composed ever-lasting soulful melodies.
Music that is immortal and will remain etched in our memories forever.
I consider it a huge honour & privilege to have met them and interacted
with them on numerous occasions.. They were very down to earth and greeted
all their fans with a lot of humility and affection. Despite their hectic
schedule comprising meetings with singers, producers, etc they ensured that
well-wishers like me were taken care of. Being an ardent fan, I used to
attend their sessions at Famous Studios, which many a times extended till
late evenings. Shankarji then used to send his personal assistant to see me
off at Mahalaxmi railway station..
Here’s one example of their sheer greatness. ‘Bobby’ which released in 1973
featured the song ‘Na mango sona chandi’ which become a massive hit song at
that time. But this song was composed 2 decades back only by this musical
duo and can be heard in Instrumental while Nargis bathing scene in the
movie ‘Awara’ in 1952
Even the song ‘O basanti Pawan Pagal’ can be heard in Instrumental in the
movie ‘Awara’. Such was their uniqueness and distinctiveness that tunes
were composed way before lyrics were written.
