It is day 140 and today's song is Tumko Dekha To Ye Khayal Aaya sung by Jagjit Singh from the 1982 movie Saath Saath, directed by Raman Kumar and produced by Dilip Dhawan. Music composed by Kuldeep Singh and lyrics written by Javed Akhtar.

What to say about this ghazal. One of the top hits of Jagjit Singh songs.

I am in no way attempting to emote the original. Just doing it how it comes to me when singing in a lower register than preferred.

Here is a rendition of the song, singing solo with an acoustic guitar (posted on Feb 28, 2023):

Lyrics:

Tumko dekhaa to ye kayaal aayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa

Tumako...

Aaj phir dilane ek tamannaa kii

Aaj phir dilane ek tamannaa ki

Aaj phir dilako hamane samajhaayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Tum chale jaaoge to soche nge

Tum chale jaaoge to soche nge

Hamane kyaa khoyaa- hamane kyaa paayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Ham jise gunagunaa nahii n sakate

Ham jise gunagunaa nahii n sakate

Vaqt ne aisaa giit kyuu n gaayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Tumko dekhaa to ye kayaal aayaa
