Saawan mein garwa lagaa loongi
Posted on: December 10, 2012
I have discussed songs from “Insaaf” (1956) and “Insaaf” (1966) in the past. It appears that a movie of this title was released at every 10 years inerval those days, seeing that there was a movie with this title in 1946 too. 
“Insaaf” (1946) is a movie from distant past and very little information is available about this movie. Here is a forgotten gem from this obscure movie.
This song is sung by Hamida Bano, Rafi and chorus. D N Madhok is the lyricist. Music is composed by Hari Prasanna Das.
What a delightful song it is. Let us not forget that this song had come at a time when Rafi was still an up and coming singer. This has to be one of his earliest songs sung in an Hindi movie. It would appear that the song had failed to become much popular during that time, seeing that this song is not at all well known.
Only the audio of this song is available but the comment on YT suggests that the song was pucturised on Navin Yagnik and Swarnlata. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by nahm.

Lyrics(Provided by nahm)
rookhi sookhi main khaa loongi
rookhi sookhi main khaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa
ho o o
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
ho o o o
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa
chhutti na deve darogaa mizaaji
chhutti na deve darogaa mizaaji
tohe bulaane pe hove na raazi
tohe bulaane pe hove na raazi
aaja usse main samjha loongi
ho o o o
aaja usse main samjha loongi
ho oooo
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa
gusse ka hitler hai yeh raam jaane
gusse ka hitler hai yeh raam jaane
teri to kya baap ki bhi na maane
teri to kya baap ki bhi na maane
tu ja main uss ko manaa loongi
ho o o o
tu jaa main uss ko manaa loongi
ho o o o
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa
rookhi sookhi main khaa loongi
rookhi sookhi main khaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa

sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
ho o o o
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
ho o o
sawaan mein garwaa lagaa loongi
paas bulaalo more raajaa

Nahm ji, Atul ji
Yes, a delightful song this one is, hearing it for the first time.
Couple of corrections.
There are 4 occurences of the chorus line
“saawan mein garwaa lagaa lo”
which should read
“saawan mein garwaa lagaa loongi”
Also, the line
“tu ja main uss ko manaalungi”
should read
“yun to main uss ko manaa loongi”

Thanks for your corrections. I thought the words ‘tu jaa main uss…..” sounded too contemporary. But than the whole stanza sounds ahead of its time , for e. g.
gusse ka hitler hai yeh raam jaane
gusse ka hitler hai yeh raam jaane
teri to kya baap ki bhi na maane
teri to kya baap ki bhi na maane
In 1946, the world war II was barely over. The full details of Hitler’s actions and its impact on world history was too new to be so well known.
