Tumse kahoon ik baat paron se halki halki
Posted on: April 25, 2012
“Dastak” (1970) was a movie on a theme that called for mature audience, But Indian audience, media as well as the censors were not mature at that time. Such movies were regarded as obscene and were given A certificates. Instead of attracting mature audience to the movie halls, such movies attracted immature audiences hoping to find some titillating scenes in the movies.
Quite a few movies of 1970s, namely “Dastak”, “Chetna”, “Doraaha” etc suffered because they were made at a time when there was no audiences for such movies. For that matter, nothing much has changed even now, after more than four decades.
The actresses who acted in these movies (Rehana Sultan, Radha Saluja) found themselves typed cast and their career failed to take on in Hindi movies. I must say that I feel sorry of these actresses because they suffered for no fault of theirs.
Music directors of these movies also suffered because their music often fell on deaf ears, or because they fell on very few ears, because few people turned up at the movie halls.
Madan Mohan, the music director of “Dastak” (1970) found his compostions failing to get popular with the mainstream audiences. Fortunately, the judges who decided on national movie awards for that year were not part of the mainstream audience. They adjusted the music of “Dastak”(1970) as the best music in an Indian movie. Yes, the national award for best music that Madan Mohan won for “Dastak” (1970) was not just for Hindi movies, but for all music composed in all Indian languages that year.
This was the only recognition that Madan Mohan got in his lifetime. He never got a filmfare award, which was the most coveted award for movie personalities at that time. As for Binaca Geetmala, the highest position that a Madan Mohan composition won in Binaca Geetmala finals was “Jhumka Gira re”, which had stood second in the Binaca Geetmala annual programme of 1966.
“Dastak” (1970) had only four songs in it. Three songs from this movie have already been discussed. And the songs already discussed are often regarded as among the finest lyrics written by Majrooh Sultabpuri, among the finest songs sung by Lata, among the finest compositions of Madan Mohan etc.
Here is the fourth and final song from “Dastak” (1966). This lesser known song from the movie is sung by Rafi in a voice dripping with sunsuousness and it is picturised on Sanjeev Kumar and Rehana Sultan.
The lyrics of this song were sent to me by Khyati Bhatt.
Song-Tumse kahoon ik baat paron se halki halki (Dastak)(1970) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Madan Mohan
Lyrics(Provided by Khyati Bhatt)
tum se kahoon ik baat
paron se
halki halki
hmm hmm hmm hmm
raat meri hai
chhaaon tumhaare hi aanchal ki
hmm hmm hmm hmm
tum se kahoon ek baat paron se
halki halki halki halki halki
soyeen galiyaan
baanh pasaare
aankhen meenche
soyeen galiyaan
baanh pasaare
aankhen meenche
hmm hmm hmm hmm
main duniya se door
ghani palkon ke neeche
hmm hmm hmm hmm
dekhoon chalte khwaab
lakeeron par kaajal ki
ee ee
tum se kahoon
ik baat paron se
halki halki halki halki halki
dhundhli dhundhli
rain milan ka bistar jaise
dhundhli dhundhli
rain milan ka bistar jaise
hmm hmm hmm hmm
khulta chhupta
chaand sej ke upar jaise
hmm hmm hmm hmm
chalti phirti khaat
hawaaon par baadal ki
tumse kahoon
ik baat paron se
halki halki halki halki halki
hai bheega sa jism tumhaara
in haathon mein
hai bheega sa jism tumhaara
in haathon mein
hmm hmm hmm hmm
baahar neend bhara panchhi
bheegi shaakhon mein
hmm hmm hmm hmm
aur barkha ki boond
badan see dhalki dhalki
ee ee
tum se kahoon
ik baat paron se
halki halki halki

Yes, Prakash ji, Madan saab got the greatest award! A place in the heart of every Hindi movie song lover! A National Award or a Filmfare Award pale by comparison!
Did you know that Madan saab was Anju Mahendru’s uncle?
Also, did you know that ‘Dastak’ was a novel written by Rajinder Singh Bedi? Two other of his stories were made ito movies. ‘Phagun’ and ‘Ek Chadar Maili Si’….

Thank you Mani ji for giving me the information about Madanji and Rajinder Singh Bedi. So Sweet of you.
Further Anyone know one masala Hindi movie director namely Narinder Bedi was there. I think he directed Kamal Hassan`s Sanam teri kasam & Rishi`s Raffoo Chakkar.
Whether this Narinder Bedi is related to Rajinder Singh Bedi????
Resemblances can be seen on Anju Mahendru & Madanji`s faces.

The music of this film is just top-class, as was the movie. The theme had many layers and it was superbly acted in by Sanjeev above all. Each song of the film is better than others, with some awesome music. According to me, Mai Re is one of the best songs ever. Every time I hear that song, my eyes close and I feel the song, with its deep sublime lyrics and beautiful music. If I get to hear the same song in Madan Mohan’s own voice, I am transported.

Yes, listening to this song in Madan Mohan’s voice is a divine experience.

Khyati ji,
Thanks for bringing up this song to post here. The music of love and the desires of a lover – they cannot be any better expressed.
The words are as if inspired by the divinity of love -
“dekhoon chalte khwaab lakeeron par kaajal ki”
The music – it is simply sublime, catching all the silent sounds of a deserted street on a rainy night, catching them ever so softly.
And the voice – so very soft and cottony, it just seems to meld into the the music.
A truly sublime creation.
Thanks
Sudhir

Thank you Khyathi ji for the lyrics.
I love this song very much and the other similar song from
Heer Ranjha(1970)-rafi,lata duet “meri duniya mein tum aaye kyaa kyaa apne saath liye, tann ki chaandi,mann ka sonaa, sapnonwaali raat liye”
Madanji we miss you. You don`t need sundry awards like filmfare and others to prove your mettle. You are beyond of all these awards.
