Here is one of lesser known songs from “Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon”. It is lesser known for me, at least.

It is a boat song. It is sung by Asha Bhonsle and picturised on Asha Parekh. The picturisation also shows Joy Mukherji.

As can be guessed from the presence of Joy Mukherji and Asha Parekh, this has to be a Shammi Kapoor kind of a movie, which it surely is.

Shammi Kapoor movies tended to have Shankar Jaikishan’s music, but there was one Shammi Kapoor movie (“Kashmir ki kali” ) which had O P Nayyar’s music. As if on cue, this movie too has music by O P Nayyar and therefore the female playback singer has to be Asha Bhonsle. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist.

Song-Mujhe pyaar mein tum na ilzaam dete (Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon) (1963) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-O P Nayyar

Lyrics

Mujhe pyaar mein tum na ilzaam dete
agar jaante gham meri bebasi ka
meri berukhi tumne dekhi hai lekin
nahin tumne dekha tadapna kisi kaa

mere dil ne chaaha thaa kuchh tumse kahta
magar pyaar kahta hai khaamosh rahna
mere dil ne chaaha thaa kuchh tumse kahta
magar pyaar kahta hai khaamosh rahna
dikhaayen kise ham ye ashkon ka bahna
sunaayen kise dard dil ki nadi kaa
meri berukhi tumne dekhi hai lekin
nahin tumne dekha tadapna kisi kaa
meri berukhi tumne dekhi hai lekin
nahin tumne dekha tadapna kisi kaa
