Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi

It's official title is sometimes "Is Manko Ik Thes Lagi". My goodness, yet another soundtrack I was after for so many, many years, mostly for the songs Hum Dono Mein Kuchh Na Kuchh and Meri Mehbooba Se Tum Anjaan Ho. All I could find to buy from this soundtrack were 2 songs on 2 different Yesudas and Lata compilation CDs but no cassette, no CD, and no recordings of my two sought after songs. And then one day I'm searching the iTunes store for something else, and I see the soundtrack for sale. I was so excited I almost fried my computer that day, knocking the full water bottle on my desk over, a few drops away from spilling into the CPU. Bought it immediately, had it on repeat for days. Of course a year or two later Universal also released the soundtrack on a 5 CD set called "Vintage The Best of Laxmikant Pyarelal" (and I bought that set too). It's great to see the music companies finally releasing popular yet hard to find albums on CD and online catalogs, let's hope we see more of that. Now if they would only officially release Laxmikant - Pyarelaal's Nishana from the 80s, you listening SaReGaMa? LOL.

And now on to Z's request for lyrics and translation (I'm gonna skip transcribing the musical notes she sings). This song plays during the titles of the movie and can almost be considered three separate songs... if you've watched the start of the movie, you'll know what I mean.

Film: Ek Nai Paheli
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
MD: Laxmikant - Pyarelaal

Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi, Haye
this heart has suffered a blow/injury
Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi, Haye
Chhan Se Yeh Darpan...
Chhan Se Yeh Darpan Toot Gaya
the reflection in this mirror has broken the mirror
(heart is often called a mirror)
Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi, Haye
Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi

Yeh Mere Geeton Ke Mukhre
these first stanzas of my songs
Yeh Mere Geeton Ke Mukhre
Tootay Huye Sheeshe Ke Tukre
(are) bits of broken glass
Main In Ko Na Jod Saki, Haye
I was not able to rejoin (repair) them
Main In Ko Na Jod Saki, Haye
Aaina Haath Se Chhoot Gaya, Haye
the mirror fell out of my hand
Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi, Haye
Eis Man Ko Ek Thes Lagi

Nayi Nayi Raat Din Ki Paheliyan
new puzzles/enigmas/riddles day and night
Nayi Nayi Raat Din Ki Paheliyan
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan
I'm alone, so many (girl) friends
Nayi Nayi Raat Din Ki Paheliyan
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan

Khoye Dukhon Ko Dhoondhte
looking for lost sorrows
Khushiyon Ka Matlab Poochte
asking the meaning of joys
Khoye Dukhon Ko Dhoondhte
Khushiyon Ka Matlab Poochte
Saawan Gaye, Patjhad Gaye
thus the summer has passed, the autumn has passed
In Paheliyon Ko Boojhte
trying to solve these riddles
Mere Man Se Karre Ath Keliyan
making mischief with my heart
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan
Nayi Nayi Raat Din Ki Paheliyan
Main Akeli, Kitni Saheliyan
Nayi Nayi Raat Din Ki...

Sapna Salona Hai
it is a beautiful dream
Sapna Salona Hai
Tan Man Hai Kya?
what is the body and mind?
Bas Maati Ka Koi Khilona Hai
but a toy made of dirt
Sapna Salona Hai
Sapna Salona Hai

Beete Dinon, Beeti Raaton Ko
days gone by, nights gone by
Beete Dinon, Beeti Raaton Ko
Kar Ke Yaad Guzri Baaton Ko
remembering the past
Hasna Hai, Rona Hai
one laughs, one cries
Sapna Salona Hai
Sapna Salona Hai
Tan Man Hai Kya?
Bas Maati Ka Koi Khilona Hai
Sapna Salona Hai
Sapna Salona Hai
