Tu aap hai apna chor
Posted by: Atul on: February 25, 2012
Singing filmy songs is a career not only for playback singers but also for small time beggars etc in real life. We in these pages have discussed beggars singing Hindi movie songs on Mumbai local trains. I wonder if beggars still sing such songs on these locals, seeing how crowded these train are. Singing these songs on the roadside, or typically while seated under a tree on the streets is a much better option.
Real life beggears/ mendicants sing songs from Hindi movies, but when it comes to beggars/mendicants in Hindi movies themselves, they typicaly get to sing some original songs. These songs often tend to be philosophical in nature.
Here is one such song from “Patang” (1960). Here Om Prakash is seen fiddling on his fiddle while he lip syncs this song, with his associates (yes beggars too have associates) who man the orchestration part of the singing.
This song is sung by Rafi. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist and music is composed by Chitragupta.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Khyati Bhatt.

Lyrics(Provided by Khyati Bhatt)
tu aap hai apna chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwaali
tu aap hai apna chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
mukhada tera saahu jaisa
manwa tera lutera
waah waah aha
mukhada tera saahu jaisa
manwa tera lutera
daya dharam ki gali
kabhi na daala tune phera
wohi bageecha loota toone
wohi bageecha loota toone
tha tu jiska maali re
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
tu aap hai apna chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
ped lagaya paap ka mange
badle me naarangi
wah bhai wah aha
ped lagaya paap ka mange
badale me narangi
arre laakh chupaye resham se tan
kaaya teri nangi
bhari rahegi teri tijori
bhari rahegi teri tijori
haath rahenge khaali re
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
tu aap hai apana chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
tu samjhe tu bada sayana
main samjhoon deewana
haan aa ha
tu samjhe tu bada sayana
main samjhoon deewana
sachhe thanedar ko tune
ab tak na pehchana
jis par baitha hai tu moorakh
jis par baitha hai tu moorakh
kaat raha wohi daali re
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
tu aap hai apna chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwali
tu aap hai apana chor
kaahe rapat kare kotwali

Thanks Arunji. Aisi koyi film is post mein nahin hogi jiski detail aap ne likhi nahin hogi. Pahele bhi likha hai aur phir se dohra rahi hoon ki aap ko hazar baar salam karti hoon. Aap movie ki jo chhoti chhoti baate hame bata rahe hai woh hamare liye bahut badi hai.
