Aaj Rapat Jayen Tou Hamein Na Uthaiyyo – Namak Halaal



This is a beautiful, romantic rain song. I don't think I need to say anything about Namak Halal. Almost everyone I know has seen this comedy film, which was released in 1982.

This particular song is sung by Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle. Bappi Lahiri was the music director & lyrics were written by Anjaan. This movie was a huge hit.

I think everything about this movie is good. Great cast. Good music. Good story line. It's sure to make you laugh even today.

Whenever it rains, everyone scribbles mausam hai ashiqana& also sings it...everyone feels the same way & we get to see the same status every time it rains. It's getting boring.

It's so strange no one ever feels or has the urge to say: 'Aaj rapat jayen tou hamein na uthaiyyo, aaj pisal jayen tou hamein na uthaiyyo' when it rains :P

Every stanza has some treasure you know...it's weird that no one ever has bothered to notice.

For instance: 'Aaj behak jayen tou hosh na dilaiyyo, hosh jo dilaiyyo tou khud bhi behak jaiyyo,'

'Baat ulajh jaiyyo tou aaj na suljhaiyyo, baat jo suljhaiyyo tou khud bhi ulaj jaiyyo,'

& 'Aaj doob jaaye tou hamein na bachaiyyo, humein jo bachaiyyo tou khud bhi doob jaiyo.'

Those who think this is cheap are actually dead & they can go to hell! I guess they are already there. This song has that thing...it can take you in the world of fantasy even when it's not raining. What more can you ask for!
