Lag Ja Gale Lyrics in Hindi:
लग जा गले
कि फिर हसीं रात हो ना हो
शायद फिर इस जनम में
मुलाक़ात हो ना हो..!!
लग जा गले
कि फिर हसीं रात हो ना हो
शायद फिर इस जनम में
मुलाक़ात हो ना हो..!!
लग जा गले..!!
हमको मिली है आज ये
घड़ियां नसीब से..!! -x2
जी भर के देख लीजिये
हम को करीब से
फिर आप के नसीब में
ये बात हो ना हो
सयाद इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो
लग जा गले की फिर..!!
पास आओ कि हम नहीं
आएँगे बार-बार-x2
बाहें गले में डाल के
हम रो ले ज़ार-ज़ार
आँखों से फिर
ये प्यार की बरसात हो ना हो..!!
शायद फिर इस जनम में
मुलाक़ात हो ना हो..!!
लग जा गले की
फिर ये हसीं रात हो ना हो
शायद फिर इस जनम में
मुलाक़ात हो ना हो
लग जा गले की फिर…!!
गीत लिखा राजा मेहदी अली खान
Lag Ja Gale Lyrics in English:
Lag ja gale
Ki phir hasin raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein
Mulaaqaat ho na ho..!!
Lag ja gale
Ki phir hasin raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein
Mulaaqaat ho na ho..!!
Lag ja gale..!!
Hamko mili hain aaj ye
Ghadiyaan nasib se..!! -x2
Ji bhar ke dekh lijiye
Ham ko qarib se
Phir aap ke nasib mein
Ye baat ho na ho
Sayad is janam men mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag ja gale ki phir..!!
Paas aaiye ki ham nahin
Aaenge baar-baar-x2
Baahen gale mein daal ke
Ham ro le zaar-zaar
Aankhon se phir
Ye pyaar ki barasaat ho na ho..!!
Shaayad phir is janam mein
Mulaaqaat ho na ho..!!
Lag ja gale ki
Phir ye hassin raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam mein
Mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag ja gale ki phir…!!

Music composition & Raag Details:
Music Composition: Madan Mohan ko “Ghazal ka Badshah” kaha jata tha, aur yeh gaana unki sabse behtareen peshkash maani jati hai.
- Melodic Shaili: Madan Mohan ne ismein bahut hi komal aur thahrav bhari dhun ka istemal kiya hai, jo sunne wale ke dil par gahra asar chhodti hai.
- Gayaki: Yeh gaana khas taur par Lata Mangeshkar ki awaaz ko dhyan mein rakh kar banaya gaya tha, taaki unki awaaz ki mithaas aur dard dono ka sahi istemal ho sake.
- Sangeet Saaj (Instrumentation): Ismein violins aur halki dholak/percussion ka aisa mel hai jo film ke suspense aur romantic mahaul dono ko barqarar rakhta hai.
Raag ki Jankari: Yeh suparhit gaana mukhya roop se “Raag Pahadi” par adharit hai.
- Raag ki Prakriti: Raag Pahadi ek “shanti” aur “pyaar” bhara raag hai, jo Himalaya ki lok dhunon (folk music) se nikal kar aaya hai.
- Samay: Yeh sham ke samay gaya jane wala raag hai, jo prem aur judai ke ehsas ko jagane ke liye sabse upyukt maana jata hai.
- Bhaav (Mood): Is gaane mein Raag Pahadi ka istemal ‘Shringar Rasa’ (pyaar) aur thode se ‘Karuna Rasa’ (dukh) ko dikhane ke liye kiya gaya hai, jo gaane ke bol—”Shayad phir is janam mein mulakat ho na ho”—ke saath bilkul sahi baithta hai.
