Hindi music lovers can find wonderful songs in every decade. This time, let’s take a look at some of the beautiful songs of yore. It is hard to just name few songs because of umpteen numbers of mesmerizing songs but then you are free to provide us your choices.

‘Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me’ from YashRaj banner movie ‘Kabhi Kabhi’ starring Big B is all time favorite of many people. Great Mukesh had rendered voice for this wonderful song and even today, it has not lost its eternal appeal. I remember, listening to his song one fine morning and it was hard to ignore its evergreen appeal and impact.

‘Chhokar Mere Man Ko’ from the movie Yaarana is another evergreen song. Starring Amitabh Bachchan once again, Kishore kumar made this song immortal. Lyrics are quite simple and yet so meaningful. One of the best songs of composer Rajesh Roshan.

‘Mere Naina Saawan Bhaado’ from the movie Mehbooba starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini is another great hit. Song came in both male and female version but I guess, I will be slightly biased towards male version. It has got this haunting feel that will stay with you and will make you yearn for more.

‘Ek Haseena Thi’ from Showman Subhash Ghai’s super hit Karz has not lost its touch even amongst youngsters of today. Recently, Himesh Reshamiya tried his hand at this song in a new form but old is always gold. The guitar work is splendid and composers Laxmikant-Pyaarelal have done an incredible job. They deservedly won Filmfare award for Karz. I could just mention few songs and article is about to end. You can’t help but wonder at number of evergreen songs given by Hindi music industry.

Beauty of Hindi lyrics

Hindi song has several important components. All the cogs of the wheel need to perform in harmony then only a beautiful song emerges. For example, the song structure must have appropriate rhythms and beats. But what gives soul to the music? Ys, you guessed it right, its Lyrics. Essence of Hindi song is its lyrics. New age songs often lack good lyrics and that explains low shelf life of such songs and relatively lower recall value by the music lovers. If people still love to hum old songs then that’s solely because of lyrics. Less use of beats and musical instrumentation and soulful lyrics and you have a memorable song. Remember, ‘Jab pyar kia toh darna kya’ from Mughal-Ae-Azam? What was the use of musical instrumentation? It just had wonderful lyrics and mesmerising vice of Lata Mangeshkar and we still remember this song. For that matter even the song ‘Aayega Aayega Aane wala’ from the movie ‘Mahal’ by Lata again. In that era, not much technology was available and hardly few instruments were used. And yet that song is remembered as one of the most haunting song in Indian film history.

Lyrics with deep meanings soothe your soul. Today, lyrics are dominated by technology or beats. Sometimes, you can’t even make out what are the lyrics. Earlier, music was woven around lyrics and now it is more like lyrics are put into just to fill the gap.

Good lyrics will always be etched in your heart. You can never get enough of good lyrics and soulful music. Remember any favourite song of your’s and you will find it had amazingly meaningful lyrics. Most of the songs sung by Lata, Rafi, Kishor or Mukesh thrived on wonderful lyrics and superb voice quality of singers.

Aashaon Ke Sawan Mein
Teri Dunya Se Door
Dekh Liya Main Ne
Piya Kaise Miloon
O Raat Ke Musafir
Lagi Choote Na Ab
Dil Torne Wale
Aap Ne Yaad Dilaya
Awaz Deke Hamain Tum
Aaja Ke Intezar Main
Dil Ka Na Karna
Chahe Pass Ho
Aaya Sawan Zhoom Ke
Ab Agar Hum Se Khudai
Athra Basar Ki Tu
Bagon Mein Bahar Hai
Bekhudi Mein Sanam
Chalo Dildar Chalo
Chup Gaye Sare Nazare
Ek Daal Par Tota
Itna To Yaad Hai Mujhe
Janam Janam Ka Saath Hai
Jhil Mil Sitaron Ka
Kitna Pyara Wada Hai
Koyal Boli Duniya Doli
Mere Mitwa Mere Meet
Mujhe Choo Rahi Hai
Mujhe Teri Mohabbat Ka
Rim Jhim Ke Geet
Teri Bindiya Re
Tumhari Nazar Kyon Khafa
Waada Karle Saajana
Ye Dil Tum Bin Kahin
Yunhi Tum Mujhse Baat Karti Ho
Tasweer Teri Dil Main
Tere Husn Ki Kya
Woh Jab Yaad Aaye
Zara Samne To Aao
Tujhe Jevan Ki Dor Se
Vada Karle Saajna
So Saal Pehle
Ye Parbaton Ke Daire
Teri Bindiya Re
Uff Yumma
Tum To Pyar Ho
