इन आँखों की मस्ती के

You sometimes hear a song that fleetingly gets your attention, but you really don't pay serious attention to it until you become aware some characteristic the song has. I learnt recently that this song is, for the most part, in raag ♫भूपाली.

I am a student of this raag and, naturally, had to explore its lyrics: Bollywood's lyrics are sometimes amazing.

तुम ने किसीसे कभी प्यार किया है?

A female lover engages with the male to understand his romantic intentions, but the male has something else on his mind ... The female does not seem to fully comprehend the male: She, in her own dream world, hears him say दीदार as दिल हार.

It almost seems like a nice sounding Bollywood song can be composed, no matter what the emotional situation.

नीला आसमाँ सो गया (female)

This is the Lata Mangeshkar version that sings about lost love.

"The night got killed when the moon disappeared in [my] tears.
Loneliness is what fills in [the rest of my] life"

The music punctuates the narration of the story nicely to bring out the emotion. You can relish the male version here.

नीला आसमाँ सो गया (male)

It is rather rare that an actor or an actress also provides the singing based on a classical raag. Amitabh Bachchan does this well here. A musical pun, in a female voice later in the story, recounts the heartbreak.

दिल चीज़ क्या है, आप मेरी जान लीजिये

The listener is struck by the simplicity of the woman's plea, with abandon. "You ask for my heart? Why don't you take my life [which is dearer] ..."
