“Har Shai Pe Jawani Hai” is a sparkling and historic duet from the 1948 film Majboor. This track brings together two of the most iconic female voices in Indian cinema—the legendary Lata Mangeshkar and the soulful Geeta Dutt—at a time when both were young rising stars destined to shape the future of playback singing.
The song was composed by the great Master Ghulam Haider, who is famously credited as Lata Mangeshkar’s “Godfather” for championing her talent when the industry initially doubted her. With playful and rhythmic lyrics by Nazim Panipati, the song captures a youthful exuberance and a conversational charm between the two vocalists. This collaboration remains a rare treasure, showcasing the distinct vocal textures of the “Queen of Melody” and the “Nightingale of Bengal” under the masterful baton of a composer who revolutionized the sound of the 1940s.

Har shei pe jawani lyrics :
Har shai pe jawani hai
Har shai pe jawani hai
Haye mere hotho pe
Hotho pe sajan ki kahani hai
Haye sajan ki kahani hai
Ho gori badnam na ho jana
Badnam na ho jana
Gali gali gunje na
Gunjre na tere pyar ka afsana
Haye tere pyar ka afsana
O more sajan aan milenge
O more sajan aan milenge
Manwa ki bagiya mein phool khilenge
Manwa ki bagiya mein phool khilenge
In phoolo ko khilne do
Do dil milte hai
Haye sajni do dilo ko milne do
Haye do dilo ko milne do
Meri bagiya mein phool khile
Meri bagiya mein phool khile
Duniya ko bhul gayi
Bhul gayi jab nain se nain mile
Haye jab nain se nain mile
Pyar boora hai pyar na karna
Pyar boora hai pyar na karna
Ankhiya kisi se char na karna
Ankhiya kisi se char na karna
Jisse preet ka rog lage
Din ko wo aahe bhare aahe bhare
Aur sari raat jage
Haye aur sari raat jage
Har shai pe jawani hai
Haye mere hotho pe
Hotho pe sajan ki kahani hai
Haye sajan ki kahani hai.
