Har Khushi Se, Har Gam se Begaana Hota Hai....


"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet..." Thus spoke Plato.



Well! Love not only creates poets, it also creates music. More so, when it comes to Hindi movies where a song has remained the perfect way to express one's love. Almost each movie, irrespective of its theme and mileu, has a love story going for it, creating a need for those love ballads. Bit it is not always only about verse. A good verse needs good composition to create that feeling of perpetual warmth in one's heart which only love can evoke.

Pancham, in tandem with some of the best lyricists of Hindi movies, created songs which have retained their freshness - even after so many years. One such song is a classic from the repertoire of that eternal loverboy of Indian Cinema - Rajesh Khanna!

The situation in the movie provided an opportunity to the lyricist Anand Bakshi to pen verse which make an attempt to define the love - an undefinable emotion otherwise - and its inevitability . Kishore brings to life the emotions in his rendition. And Pancham? He used one of the stock instruments in most of the movies of late 60s, a grand Piano, in a manner that spell-bounds the listener, forever. I never get tired listening to this song as Rajesh Khanna tries to explain to reluctant & reticent Asha Parekh:

Rahe koi sau pardon me, dare sharam se 
Nazar aji laakh churaaye, koi sanam se 
Aa hi jaataa hai jisape dil aanaa hotaa hai
Pyaar divaanaa hotaa hai, Mastaanaa hotaa hai
Har khushi se, Har gam se, Begaanaa hotaa hai
