Starting today, we’ll be posting lyrics of random hits, chartbusters and evergreens from the past decade (and back), of the songs which once used to rule the countdowns. And what better way to start with a song which was composed by music maestro A.R.Rahman in one of his first movies as music director, Bombay. The song ‘kehna hi kya‘ was about a very beautiful Manisha Koirala, dressed in an all white apparel, dancing at a function and expressing her desires for her love, while exchanging love filled glances with Arvind Swamy:

gum sum gum sum gup chup
gum sum gum gup chup
gum sum gum sum gup chup
gum sum gum gup chup
hulchul hulchul bhaohein teri
honth haleri kyun
har pal har pal bhaohein teri
baithee hain tu kyun chup
pyaari pyaari chehre le kar de ek ishara
dekha teri aankhon ne hai sapna koi pyaar
humse gori na tu sharma kehde humse zaraa
humse gori na tu sharma kehde humse zaraas

kehna hi kya, ye nain ik anjaan se jo mile
chalne lage, mohabbat ke jaise ye silsile
armaan naye aise dil mein khile
jinko kabhi main na jaanu
wo humse hum unse kabhi na mile
kaise mile dil na janu
ab kya karein
kya naam lein
kaise unhe main pukaaroon?

pehli hi nazar mein kuch hum kuch tum ho jate hain yun gum
naino se barse rimjhim rimjhim humpe pyaar ka saawan
sharm thodi thodi humko aaye to nazrein jhuk jaayein
sitam thoda thoda humpe shokh havaa bhi kar jaaye
aisee chale aanchal ude
dil mein ye ek toofan uthe
hum to lutt gaye khare hi khare

kehna hi kya, ye nain ik anjaan se jo mile
chalne lage, mohabbat ke jaise ye silsile
armaan naye aise dil mein khile
jinko kabhi main na jaanu
wo humse hum unse kabhi na mile
kaise mile dil na janu
ab kya karein
kya naam lein
kaise unhe main pukaaroon?

gum sum gum sum gup chup
gum sum gum gup chup
gum sum gum sum gup chup
gum sum gum gup chup
hulchul hulchul bhaohein teri
honth haleri kyun
har pal har pal bhaohein teri
baithee hain tu kyun chup
pyaari pyaari chehre le kar de ek ishara
dekha teri aankhon ne hai sapna koi pyaar
humse gori na tu sharma kehde humse zaraa
humse gori na tu sharma kehde humse zaraas

in hotho ne maanga sargam sargam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
ankh khulte hi jisko hardam hardam tu aur tera hi pyaar hai
mehfil mein bhi tanha hai dil aise dil aise
tujhko kho na de darta hai ye aise ye aise
aaj mili aisi khushi
jhoom uthi duniya ye meri
tumko paya to payi zindagi

kehna hi kya, ye nain ik anjaan se jo mile
chalne lage, mohabbat ke jaise ye silsile
armaan naye aise dil mein khile
jinko kabhi main na jaanu
wo humse hum unse kabhi na mile
kaise mile dil na janu
ab kya karein
kya naam lein
kaise unhe main pukaaroon?

kehna hi kya, ye nain ik anjaan se jo mile
chalne lage, mohabbat ke jaise ye silsile

kehna hi kya…
