This song from “Munimji” (1955) was a long pending farmaish of the readers. This song is a different kind of song. It is a stage song that describes the wedding of Lord Shiva with Parvati.

The song is sung by Hemant Kumar and chorus and it is performed by several artists on the stage. One can see Nalini Jaiwant and Pran among the spectators of the performance. The actress playing Parvati on stage is also Nalini Jaiwant (I hope my eyes are not deceiving me). I request my knowledgeable readers to throw light on the actors in he picturisation.
PS-The actress playing Parvati is Ameeta. I thank Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh for helping me identify her.

The lyrics are written by Shailendra and music is composed by S D Burman. I do not think most Hindi movie lovers will be able to understand many words because these words are spoken only in Bihar and eastern UP. They are in effect “Bihari” words, though experts like Santosh Ojha will tell us that there is no Bihari language as such.

Most people involved in the creation of this song had no connection with “Bihari” lingo, but they have done a great job in creating this masterpiece. I have tried to get the lyrics as accurately as I can, but there may be errors and I request “Bihari” language experts to point out the errors in the lyrics. One needs to be an expert in the lingo as well as in Bihari weddings to be able to fathom several words of this song.

Of course, one can enjoy this song even without fully understanding the lyrics.So here is this song from “Munimji” (1954) for the enjoyment of the readers of this blog.

Song-Shivji bihaane chale paalki sajaay ke (Munimji) (1954) Singer-Hemant Kumar, Lyrics-Shailendra,MD-S D Burman

Lyrics

bam bam bholaa
bam bam bholaa
bam bam bholaa
bam bam bholaa

ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
bhabhuti lagaaye ke naa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa

o jab Shiv baabaa kare taiyyaari
kaise sakal samaan ho
daahine ang trishool viraaje
naache bhoot shaitaan ho

Brahmaa chalen Vishhnu chalen
lai ke Ved puraan ho
shankh chakra aur gadaa dhanushh lai
chalen Shri Bhagawaan ho

aur ban-than ke chalen bam bholaa
liye bhaang dhatoor kaa golaa
bole ye hardam
chale ladkaa paraay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
bhabhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa

hoyi aayi hoyi aayaa
hoyi aayi hoyi aayaa

aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa

o maataa matadin par chanchal li
tilak jali lilaar ho
kaalaa naag gardan ke neeche
wohu dilan phuphkaar ho
lotaa phenk ke bhaag chalaili
taaveej nikhal lilaar ho
in ke sangi bibaah na kar bo
gauri rahi kunwaari ho
kahe Parvati samjhaayi
batiyaan maano hamro maai
jai bharaile haan
ham karmawaa likhhaay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke laa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa

om namahaa shivaay
om svaahaa
om namahaa shivaay
om svaahaa
om namahaa shivaay
om svaahaa

o jab Shiv baabaa mandwaa gaile
holaa manglaa chaar ho
baabaa pandit ved vichaare
holaa gussaa chaar ho
bajarbati ki lagi jhaalri
naagin ki adhikaar ho
beech mandwaa me naaun aili
kare jhangan badiyaar ho

e go naagin gehlan bidaayi
naaun gaile chale paraayi
sabha se lagelaa
devtaa thathaay ke
baabhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa
o Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaayake naa

aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa

to komal roop dhare Shiv-Shankar
khushi bhaye nar-naari ho
raajahi naachan gaan karaaile
ijjat rahen hamaar ho
rahe var saathi Shiv-Shankar se
kehu ke na paawal paar ho
in ke jataa se Gangaa bahli
mahimaa agam apaar ho
jai Shiv-Shankar dhyaan lagaaye
in ke teenon lok dikhaaye
kahe dukh haran yahi
chhado banovaa ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
babhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaayke naa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
bhabhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa
ho Shivji bihaane chale
paalki sajaay ke
bhabhuti lagaaye ke
paalki sajaay ke naa
