bhool sakataa hai bhalaa kaun ye pyaarii aaNkheN

jaagatii raatoN ko sapanoN kaa Khazaanaa mil jaaye
tum jo mil jaao to jeene kaa bahaanaa mil jaaye
apanii kismat pe kareN naaz hamaarii aaNkhen
bhool sakataa hai bhalaa kaun

har taraf husn aur jawaanii hai aaj kii raat kyaa suhaanii hai

yahii ek aaraam kii cheez hai, kaam kii cheez hai
muhabbat baRe kaam kii cheez hai, kaam kii cheez hai

kitaaboN meN chhapate hai chaahat ke qisse
haqeeqat kii duniyaaA meN chaahat nahiiN hai
zamaane ke baazaar meN ye wo shay hai 
ke jis kii kisiiko zaroorat nahiiN hai
ye bekaar bedaam kii cheez hai, naam kii cheez hai
muhabbat baRe kaam kii cheez hai, kaam kii cheez hai
ye kudarat ke iinaam kii cheez hai 

muhabbat se itanaa Khafaa hone waale
chal aa aaj tujh ko muhabbat sikhaa de 
teraa dil jo barasoN se veeraaN paRaa hai

meraa mashwaraa kaam kii cheez hai, kaam kii cheez hai 

muhabbat baRe kaam kii cheez hai, kaam kii cheez hai

Yash Chopra breathed his last in Mumbai today. He had been admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai following an attack of dengue fever.  This "young-at-heart" director had just turned 80 on September 27th, 2012 and was busy completing his latest celluloid romance - Jab Tak Hai Jaan, starring Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Sahir Ludhianvi wrote songs for 16 movies under the combined B R Films and Yash Raj films banner. Of these, 7 were directed by Yash Chopra: 
Dhool Ka Phool (1959), Dharamputra (1961) , Waqt (1965), Aadmi Aur Insaan (1969), Daag (1973), Kabhi Kabhi (1976), Kala Patthar (1979). 

The last three were made under the YashRaj Films banner. 

Yash Chopra also directed three movies under the Trimurti Films Banner which had songs by Sahir - Joshila (1973), Deewar (1975) and Trishul (1978).

We will be paying our tribute to this legendary director with songs from the movies he  directed  and which had songs written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

A tribute to one of my favorite stars, Shammi Kapoor, on his birth anniversary - 21st October.
