DOPE: "Mehbooba Mehbooba" from "Sholay" (1975)


There's an expression I always think of when I think of the Hindi film classic, "Sholay": Old is Gold! This movie became a hit before I was born, but it's truly a fabulous movie.

The funny thing is, the song I'm sharing today didn't really resonate with me when I first saw the film. I thought the movie was great and knew that this song is quite possibly the most beloved (pun intended) song from the film... but I wasn't really feeling it at first. It sort of crept into my mind and planted a seed, and I fell madly in love with it, so of course I share it with you all today!! I hope you all will enjoy "Mehbooba Mehbooba".



Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

Mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved

Ooh, mehbooba ae mehbooba
Oh, beloved, oh beloved

Mehbooba ae mehbooba hoo hoo hoo
Beloved oh beloved

Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Main aur tu
Me and you

Mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved

Mehbooba ae mehbooba hoo hoo hoo
Beloved, oh beloved

Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Main aur tu
Me and you

Phool bahaaron se nikla, chaand sitaaron se nikla
A flower came out from spring, the moon came out from the stars
Phool bahaaron se nikla, chaand sitaaron se nikla
A flower came out from spring, the moon came out from the stars
Din dooba
The daytime has drowned

Ooh, mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved

Mehbooba ae mehbooba hoo hoo hoo
Beloved, oh beloved

Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Main aur tu
Me and you

Husn-o-ishq ki raahon mein, baahon mein nigaahon mein
The the road of beauty and love, in your arms and eyes
Husn-o-ishq ki raahon mein, baahon mein nigaahon mein
The the road of beauty and love, in your arms and eyes
Dil dooba
My heart has drowned

Ooh, mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved

Mehbooba ae mehbooba hoo hoo hoo
Beloved, oh beloved

Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Gulshan mein gul khilte hain
Roses blossom in gardens
Jab sehra mein milte hain
When we meet in the desert
Main aur tu
Me and you

Mehbooba ae mehbooba, mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved, beloved, oh beloved
Mehbooba ae mehbooba, mehbooba ae mehbooba
Beloved, oh beloved, beloved, oh beloved

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
