With ASAD covering 11K + songs till date, finding a new song to present, also having a link/sound track to attach, becomes more and more involved/difficult task for a contributor. I am sure one of the simple joys for the contributors must be (I am only a new entrant to the tribe) to locate one. And, if it happens to be a popular song it is an icing on the cake.
Here I am with such a joyful find. Like others have expressed it at times: “How come this song has escaped being presented?”
This one is from Hatim Tai (1956). Three songs of this movie are covered already. As a matter of fact, when I looked at those posts covering ‘Hatim Tai’ songs, I found that in the response section, Nasir Bhai had drawn the attention to this romantic song. But it remained at that. This is certainly the sweetest song of the movie and it was a very popular song during its time. I fairly remember it being played on Binaca Geetmala for many weeks. It is even today as enjoyable as it was then. Smooth as silk.
The story of this movie has been dealt with in earlier posts. It may have been referred to as a B/C grade movie, probably going by the star cast. It was certainly a successful movie at Box office, and was a huge draw in smaller towns, and with children. I watched it as a school going kid and was thrilled. Its success is also due to its music.
Here is this song which is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi. The song is picturised on Jairaj and Shakila.

Lyrics
Jhoomti hai nazar
jhoomta hai pyaar
Jhoomti hai nazar
jhoomta hai pyaar
Ye nazar chheen kar le gayi karaar
Ye nazar chheen kar le gayi karaar
Jhoomti hai nazar
jhoomta hai pyaar
Hum hain aazaad panchhi fizaaon ke
Haath na aa saken hum hawaaon ke
Waade karte nahin hum wafaaon ke
Phir bhi kyun janoon dil tum pe hai nisaar
Ye nazar chhin kar le gayi karar
Jhoomti hai nazar jhoomta hai pyaar
Main tere husn ke geet gaaunga
Ishq ki aarzu lab pe laaunga
Main tujhe dhadkanon mein basaaunga
ik hai dil jisme hai hasraten hazaar
Ye nazar chheen kar le gayi karaar
Jhoomti hai nazar jhoomta hai pyaar
Meri har saans mein tera pyaar hai
Meri har saans mein tera pyaar hai
Tu mere baag e dil ki bahaar hai
ae ae ae
Tu mere baag e dil ki bahaar hai
Tu meri Zindagi ka singaar hai
oh sanam tu meri dil ki hai pukaar
Ye nazar chheen kar le gayi karaar
Jhoomti hai nazar
jhoomta hai pyaar
Tum humen hum tumhen dekhte rahen
Tum humen hum tumhen dekhte rahen
Haal e dil ho haya lab na kuchh kahen
aen aen aen
Haal e dil ho haya lab na kuch kahe
Milke ham pyaar ki maujon mein bahen
Aa zara chhed de dil se dil ke taar
Ye nazar chheen kar le gayi karaar
Jhoomti hai nazar
jhoomta hai pyaar
