For all songs in this series, go here

For mixed mood songs, go here.

This is from the 1996 Indian Hindi-language action film Krishna. Music was composed by Anu Malik Lyrics penned by Nida Fazli, Anwar Sagar, Anand Raaj Anand and Madan Pal. Sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya.

Karishma Kapoor, the lead actress, came to one of the TV’s reality show involving singers, and he actually sang this song. One of the singers sang this song. The film was mostly a remake of the 1992 American film Deep Cover. It was also partly inspired by 1991 Indian Hindi-language film Meri Aawaz Suno which itself was a remake of a Indian Kannada-language 1981 film Antha.

Since I wear anklets all the time, my friends tease me with this song.

There is a female version of the song too. It was sung by Alka Yagnik. Lyrics are slight different from the male version.

Lyrics transliterated from the male version:

Jhaanjhariyaa Uski Chanak Gayi, Chunari Bhi Sar Se Sarak Gayi

Meri Nazar Usse Mili To, Uski Nazar Sharma Ke Jhuk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa Uski Chanak Gayi, Chunari Bhi Sar Se Sarak Gayi

Meri Nazar Usse Mili To, Uski Nazar Sharma Ke Jhuk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa

Usse Nazar Mili Beech Bazaar Mein, Usse Nazar Mili Beech Bazaar Mein

Dil Gaya Lut Nazaro Ki Takraar Mein

Mud Mud Ke Vo Dekhe Mujhem, Jaise Ki Voh Khud Bhi Machal Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa Uski Chanak Gayi, Chunari Bhi Sar Se Sarak Gayi

Meri Nazar Usse Mili To, Uski Nazar Sharma Ke Jhuk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa

Kissa Ajeeb Tha Pahli Mulaakaat Ka, Ho Kissa Ajeeb Tha Pahli Mulaakaat Ka

Aalam Gazab Hua Mere Dil Ke Haal Ka,

Ik Pal Mujhe Aisaa Laga, Jaise Meri Dhadkan Ruk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa Uski Chanak Gayi, Chunari Bhi Sar Se Sarak Gayi

Meri Nazar Usse Mili To, Uski Nazar Sharma Ke Jhuk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa Uski Chanak Gayi, Chunari Bhi Sar Se Sarak Gayi

Meri Nazar Usse Mili To, Uski Nazar Sharma Ke Jhuk Gayi

Jhaanjhariyaa
