Jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
Posted on: July 12, 2009
I have listened to this song “jaago sone waalon” many a times. I liked this song though I had no idea which movie this song was from.
Just now I watched the video of this song and I came to know that this song was from “Bhoot Bangla” (1965). The song sounds a serious philosophical song, but the picturisation is highly incongruous. This in fact has been picturised as a “fight song”, where the hero ( Mehmood in this case) fights as he sings. I have posted a few such songs in this blog. Such songs cause inadvertent mirth, but in this case one would instead feel like crying because a great song like this deserved much better treatment during its picturisation.
The song which is sung by Kishore Kumar was written by Hasrat Jaipuri. R D Burman had composed the music. This was one of the earliest movies of R D Burman as a music director and he came up with a nice song.
It is a song that is better heard than watched.
Song-Jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani ( Bhoot Banglaa ) (1965) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-R D Burman
Lyrics
he he
aha aha
hmm hmm
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
kyaa ameeri kyaa ghareebi bhoolo baaten puraani
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
tootaa jo aaj dil kaa wo saaz rone lagaa ek badnaseeb
hansne lage duniyaa ke log
koyi huaa barbaad
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani
aapas ke gham baanten jo ham phir na rahen aise sitam
kahne ko ham
insaan hain
insaaniyat kahaan hai
jaago sone waalon suno meri kahaani

Kishore Kumar sang for Pancham for the first time. This was their first-ever song. Needless to say, the Pancham-Kishore collaboration and their friendship is legendary and they gave us innumerable memorable songs.
Bhoot Bangla has also other firsts:
- It was also the first time that Manna Dey sang for Pancham
- it was the first time Hasrat Jaipuri wrote for Pancham (actually it was their only movie togehter)
- It was the first time Rahul Dev Burman appeared on the screen in a bit role (about 11 minutes)
- It was the first time Rahul Dev Burman gave playback for a song which was picturized on him.
- It might be the first horror-comic movie in Hndi cinema
- It might be the first movie in which medley of songs appeared (O mere pyar aaja and Aao twist karein appeared back to back).
- It also might be the only movie in which Ameen Sayani appeared on the screen.
- It might also the first time that Kishore sang for Mehmood
