Kabhi Kabhi Lyrics
Maula kabhi mujhe chhodna kabhi nahi
Bhula tera ehasaan mai kabhi nahi
Kiya tune jo mana kiya kabhi nahi
Kabhi kisi ko phasaya kabhi nahi
Kabhi rishavat khaai hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi jhut maine bolaa hu kabhi nahi
Tere ghar me adher hai kabhi nahi
Maula kabhi mujhe chhodna kabhi nahi
Bhula tera ehasaan mai kabhi nahi
Kiya tune jo mana kiya kabhi nahi
Kabhi kisi ko phasaya kabhi nahi
Kabhi rishavat khaai hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi jhut maine bolaa hu kabhi nahi
Tere ghar me adher hai kabhi nahi
Maula kabhi mujhe chhodna
Kabhi nahi bhula tera
Are chhod na yaar
Maan hai par daam nahi hai
Bikri hai par kaam nahi hai
Ham kare koi aisi padhaai
Jis se ghar me aae kamaai
Digari hai bas naam ki maula
Apane ye kis kaam ki maula
Jo mujhe hai naukari paani
Hogi unchi pahuch lagaani
Kabhi daidi se chhupaya hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi chiting ki tune kabhi nahi
Kabhi masaka lagaya hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi guru ko sataya hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi tichar ne mara hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi jhut maine bolaa hai kabhi nahi
Tere ghar me adher hai kabhi nahi
Maula kabhi mujhe chhodna kabhi nahi
Bhula tera ehasaan mai
Kabhi nahi kabhi nahi
Kabhi nahi
Puchho na puchho na kaisaa kyaa
Shaadi kaa laddu hai aisaa waah
Jo na khaae vo lalachaae kyaa baat hai
Khaane vaalaa bhi pachhataae
Aashiqi romaas ki baate
Ye to hai sab chaans ki baate
Na lagaanaa khud pe paharaa
Baadh lenaa sar pe saharaa
Kabhi biwi ko ghumaayaa hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi biwi se chhupaya hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi biwi ko rulaayaa hai are
Kabhi biwi ne nikaalaa hai
Amaa kyaa bol rahaa hai yaar
Kabhi biwi ne pitaa hai
Amaa kyaa kar rahaa hai yaar
Kabhi jhut maine bolaa hai
Kabhi nahi
Maula kabhi mujhe chhodna kabhi nahi
Bhula tera ehasaan mai kabhi nahi
Kiya tune jo mana kiya kabhi nahi
Kabhi kisi ko phasaya kabhi nahi
Kabhi rishavat khaai hai kabhi nahi
Kabhi jhut maine bolaa hu kabhi nahi
Tere ghar me adher hai kabhi nahi.

Story[edit]
Amit Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan) recites one of his poems at a college/university where he meets fellow student Pooja (Raakhee), and they fall in love. But Pooja's parents arrange for her to marry an architect, Vijay Khanna (Shashi Kapoor). A heartbroken Amit returns home and joins his father's business – a construction company – and later marries Anjali (Waheeda Rehman), who secretly has a daughter named Pinky (Neetu Singh) from a pre-marital relationship. Amit and Anjali have a daughter, Sweetie. In the meantime, Pinky is adopted by childless couple Dr. and Mrs. R.P. Kapoor.
Spanning over to the next generation, Pooja and Vijay have a son, Vikram (Rishi Kapoor), also known as 'Vicky', who falls in love with Pinky while they are at a party, and the two plan to get married. When Pinky learns of her adoption and the identity of her real mother, she tries to get close to Anjali. While Anjali eventually acknowledges her existence and secretly showers her love on her reunited daughter, she does not reveal the relationship to her husband, fearing for her marriage. The situation is further complicated by Vicky's attempts to stay close to Pinky and Sweetie's romantic interest in Vicky.
This sets in motion a chain of events that unites old flames as friends.

Production[edit]
The film's concept came to Yash Chopra while he was reading a poem by his longtime friend (and also the film's lyricist) Sahir Ludhianvi. The movie was shot in Kashmir, and Yash Chopra has claimed this to be one of his happiest experiences and he described the production as a 'honeymoon', since the entire cast worked together as a family.[6] The film also led to the reinvention of Amitabh Bachchan as a romantic poet who loses his love, which was a major departure from his earlier 'angry young man' roles such as Deewaar and Zanjeer. The film had been written with Raakhee in mind, and she had agreed to do it during the making of Daag (1973)[7] but before production started she married lyricist Gulzar, who wanted her to retire from acting. However, after some persuasion from Yash Chopra, Gulzar let her do the film.
