“Aarzoo” (1951) was a movie starring Dilip Kumar. Those were the days when Talat Mahmood used to sing for him.

Here is a nice soft Talat Mahmood song picturised on Dilip Kumar. This is a sad melancholic song. It is written by Jaan Nissar Akhtar ( though I have seen Majrooh Sultanpuri’s name as the lyricist in some places). Anil Biswas is the music director.

This song is a Talat Mahmood classic. No doubt about that.

Song-Ae dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal (Aarzoo) (1950) Singer-Talat Mahmood, Lyrics-Jaan Nissar Akhtar, MD- Anil Biswas

Lyrics

ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal jahaan koyi na ho
ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal jahaan koyi na ho
apna paraaya meharbaan naa-meharabaan koyi na ho
ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal jahaan koyi na ho

ja kar kahin kho jaaun main,
neend aaye aur so jaaun main,
neend aaye aur so jaaun main
ja kar kahin kho jaaun main,
neend aaye aur so jaaun main,
neend aaye aur so jaaun main
duniya mujhe dhoondhe,
magar mera nishaan koyi na ho
duniya mujhe dhoondhe,
magar mera nishaan koyi na ho

ulfat ka badla mil gaya,
wo gham luta wo dil gaya
wo gham luta wo dil gaya
ulfat ka badla mil gaya,
wo gham luta wo dil gaya
wo gham luta wo dil gaya
chalna hai sab se door-door
ab caravan koyi na ho
chalna hai sab se door-door
ab caravan koyi na ho
apna paraaya meharbaan naa-meharbaan koyi na ho
ai dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal
