My
favorite lyricist got unique recognition; Hon'ble President of India released a postal ticket of Rs. 5 on Sahir Ludhianvi. One of the most brilliant but hearty lyricist
who lived in a professional world of hindi cinema but rarely compromised on his
poetry. He was a magician who captured
feelings with words as his props.( true
to his name, Sahir means magician)
WHENEVER I remember Sahir one song comes in mind- kabhie kabhie mere dil main
khyal ata hai… . It’s a matchless song that is like a milestone, rare
combination of voiceof mukesh ,lata,
music by khyam. This is phenomenal song that won three filmfare awards for best
music - to Khayyam, best singer- to Mukesh and best lyrics -to Sahir for the
year. 1976.
This
song is dedicated to one of my hosteler friend at univ., Deepak kalia who used
to listen this song in loop. He suffered the pain of lost love.
do not forget to listen last line carefully, the essence of the song. -Main jaanta hoon ki tu geir hai magar yoon hi...

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai.
Feel
the melody of this song……
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye
Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bass rahi thi kahin
Tujhey zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki ye badan ye nigaahein meri amaanat hain
Ye gesuon ki ghani chhaon hai meri khatir
Ye honth aur ye baahein meri amaanat hain
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki jaise bajti hain shehnaaiyaan si raahon mein
Suhaag raat hain ghoonghat utha raha hoon main
Simat rahi hai tu sharma ke apni baahon mein
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki jaise tu mujhe chaahegi umr bhar yoon hi
Uthegi meri taraf pyaar ki nazar yoon hi
Main jaanta hoon ki tu geir hai magar yoon hi...
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai.
