I also really like another popular raag-based number from this film – Jiya Le Gayo Ji Mora Sanwariya also sung by Lata Mangeshkar. If interested further, you can go to his website,, that his son Sanjeev Kohli has put together. There is an interesting piece worth reading on the multi-faceted composer (who was an Army man, a great cook and a fanatic sports enthusiast all rolled into one!) Madan Mohan and highlights his greatness as a composer and a human being (read: ). The number also has some lovely wordsmithing by the one and only Raja Mehdi Ali Khan who happened to work with Madan Mohan for many successful film scores including Madhosh, Mera Saaya (with unforgettable songs like Tu jahaan jahaan chalega, Jhumka gira re, Aap ke pehlu mein aakar, Nainon mein badra chhaaye), Woh Kaun Thi (Lag jaa gale, Naina barse rimjhim rimjhim). He was even brought ‘alive’ by his son, Sanjeev Kohli, in the 2004 musical Veer Zaara by using some of his beautiful unused tunes (read: ). The evergreen maestro – Madan Mohan – who preferred raag-based sad songs had many such endearing melodies to his name in the 1950s, 60s and the 70s.

An evergreen melody and raag-based composition, the lovely number stands out and needs no major accompaniments. Some compositions are beyond sweet and melodious! This composition is definitely one of them. Koi toofanon se kah de, mil gaya saahil mujhe Kyon main toofaan se daroon mera saahil aap hain Hans ke apni zindagi mein kar liya shaamil mujheĪapki manzil hoon main meri manzil aap hain Keh rahi hai har nazar banda paravar shukriya Primarily raag darbari based, the lilting composition would have been a tough one to sing even for the legendary Lata Mangeshkar.Īap ki nazaron ne samjha pyaar ke kaabil mujheĭil ki ae dhadkan theher ja mil gayee manzil mujhe Homebound? Listen to an extremely hummable, endearing and ever popular number put together by the genius and ‘prince of ghazals’ Madan Mohan.
