आइना मुझ सा नहीं

हो हो हो
आईने की नज़र में
मस्ती मेरी नज़र की
इतनी सस्ती कहाँ है
आईने की नज़र में
ऐसी मस्ती कहाँ है
मस्ती मेरी नज़र की
इतनी सस्ती कहाँ है
बैठे है क्या उस के पास
आइना मुझ सा नहीं
मेरी तरफ देखिये
हो हो
ये लब हम क्यूँ ना छू लें
यूँ ही आहें भरें क्या
हम से भी खूबसूरत
तुम हो हम भी करे क्या
ये लब हम क्यूँ ना छू लें

तुम हो हम भी करे क्या
बैठे है क्या उस के पास
आइना मुझ सा नहीं

बीती है रात कितनी
ये सब कुछ भूल जाए
जलती शम्मे बुझा के
आओ हम दिल जलाए
बीती है रात कितनी

The song "Baithe Hain Kya Uske Paas" by Asha Bhosle is a beautiful and intriguing composition that explores themes of self-reflection, longing, and self-acceptance.
In the first verse, the lyrics express a sense of curiosity and wonder about the person the singer is addressing. They ask if this person has anything special or unique, symbolized by the line "Baithe Hain Kya Uske Paas" which translates to "What does he/she have?" This curiosity is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "La La La," creating a sense of anticipation and a desire to find out more.
The next line "Aaina Mujh Sa Nahi" means "There is no mirror like me." Here, the singer is drawing attention to their own uniqueness and individuality, suggesting that they possess qualities that cannot be found in anyone else. They invite the person to look in their direction, indicating a desire for recognition and appreciation.
The following lines "Aaine Ki Nazar Mein, Aisi Masti Kahan Hai, Masti Meri Nazar Ki, Itni Sasti Kahan Hai" translate to "In the eyes of the mirror, where is such joy? The joy of my gaze, where is it so cheap?" Here, the lyrics delve deeper into the theme of self-reflection. The singer questions the mirror's perception of joy and suggests that the joy they find in life is much more valuable and genuine than what can be reflected in a mirror. It signifies the singer's self-awareness and perhaps even a sense of superiority regarding their own experiences and emotions.
The chorus repeats the initial line "Baithe Hain Kya Uske Paas," implying that the singer is still eagerly awaiting an answer or acknowledgment from the person they are addressing. The lyrics continue to emphasize the singer's uniqueness and beauty, questioning why the other person doesn't choose to explore it further or engage with it. The repetitions of "Ho Ho" in between the lines convey a sense of longing and yearning for a connection.
In the second verse, the lyrics delve into the power of physical touch and express a desire for closeness and intimacy. The line "Ye Lab Hum Kyun Na Chu Lein" translates to "Why don't we touch these lips?" suggesting a yearning for a deeper connection and physical intimacy. The lyrics further reveal a vulnerable side, sharing that even the singer is beautiful and could offer something special, questioning why the other person doesn't notice or respond.
The final verse explores the idea of escaping the past and embracing the present. The lines "Beeti Hai Raat Kitni, Ye Sab Kuchh Bhool Jaaye" mean "So many nights have passed, let us forget about all this." The lyrics convey a willingness to let go of past experiences and move forward, suggesting that the singer and the person they are addressing can create a new connection, symbolized by the image of a burning flame that can be rekindled.
Overall, "Baithe Hain Kya Uske Paas" delves into self-reflection, longing, and the desire for acceptance and connection. The lyrics beautifully capture the complexities of human emotions and the longing for meaningful relationships, inviting listeners to contemplate their own experiences and desires.

Hats off to Ashaji,Helen, Panchamda & co. and Goldie aka Vijay Anand. The movie"Jewel Thief" itself is a treat. Dada muni's super performance. The music, direction , Vaijayanti mala's dances, Dev saab's charm, and also not to forget the performances of actors & actresses from the team 'Jewel Thief', especially Fariyaal.

A high class club in a rough neighbourhood frequented mostly by tough looking furloughed shippies. Two gorgeous dancers, scantily dressed, gyrating sexily to a haunting song composed by SD Burman and sung by Asha Bhosle. Suddenly the scantily dressed main dancer notices a mysterious tall dark and handsome man walk into the bar. She misses her beat for a moment and suddenly realizes it's Dev Anand wearing his jewel thief cap. It sends a gleeful shiver up her spine as she resumes her cabaret with a great gusto and anticipation.....script straight out of a third grade thriller novel
