“Meri Aankhon Mein Bas Gaya” is a vibrant and melodious track from the 1949 musical phenomenon Barsaat. Directed by Raj Kapoor, this film served as the debut for the legendary musical duo Shankar-Jaikishan, whose collaboration with Lata Mangeshkar redefined the sound of Indian cinema. With playful yet poetic lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri, the song captures the restless excitement of new love. It is a perfect example of the “Golden Age” of Bollywood music, where folk-inspired rhythms were blended with orchestral arrangements, brought to life by the youthful and flawless vocals of a rising Lata Mangeshkar.

Meri ankhon men bas gaya lyrics :
Meri aankhon mein bas gaya
Meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re
Mohe neend na aye main ka karun
Meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re
Mohe neend na aye main ka karun
Meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re
Mohe neend na aye main ka karun
Meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi
Musakaye jab raat ki bindiyan
Musakaye jab raat ki bindiyan
Ud jaye aankhon se neendiyan
Ud jaye aankhon se neendiyan
Thhandi thhandi main aahe bharu
Hay main ka karun
Hay main ka karun
Hay main ka karun.
