Dil Ki Daastaan

Jaal (1952)
Starring - Dev Anand, Geeta Bali
Direction - Guru Dutt
Music - SD Burman
Lyrics - Sahir Ludhianvi

Singer - Hemant Kumar

Discovered this wonderful song only recently, and fell in love with it instantly. "Come, listen to the story of my heart", croons Hemant Kumar as Dev Anand pretends to strum a guitar. Geeta Bali looks at him longingly, but a restrained doubt is visible in her eyes. Framed against the night sky, the trees sway in tune to this melodious number. The humming and the simple music evocates the mood of the Goan fisherfolk community. 

But the credit for the success of this song goes to Hemant Kumar and the lyricist, Sahir Ludhianvi. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that it is the voice of Hemant that's given this song its eternal life.

Transliteration In English

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha 

Yeh raat yeh chaandni phir kahaan, sun jaa dil ki daastaan -2

Hm hm hm, hm hm hm

Hey pedo ki shaakhon pe

Pedo ki shaakhon pe soyi soyi chaandni, pedo ki shaakhon pe

Tere khayaalon mein khoyi khoyi chaandni

Aur thodi der mein thak ke laut jaayegi

Raat yeh bahar ki phir kabhi na aayegi

Do ek pal aur hai yeh samaa, sun ja dil ki daastaan

Hm hm hm, hm hm hm

Hey lehron ke hontho pe

Lehron ke hontho pe dheema dheema raag hai, lehron ke hontho pe

Bheegi hawaaon mein thandi thandhi aag hai

Is haseen aag mein tu bhi jalke dekhle

Zindagi ke geet ki dhun badal ke dekhle

Khulne de ab dhadkano ki zubaan, sun ja dil ki daastaan

Hey jaati bahaare hain 

Jaati bahaare hain uthti jawaaniyan, jaati bahaare hain

Taaron ke chaaon mein pehle kahaaniyaan

(Ek baar chal diye gar tujhe pukaarke

Lautkar na aayenge qaafilen bahaar ke) -2

Aaja abhi zindagi hai jawaan, sun ja dil ki daastaan

Yeh raat yeh chaandni phir kahaan, sun jaa dil ki daastaan

Daastaan, daastaan
