atul's bollywood song a day- with full lyrics

Archive for the ‘Manna Dey-Asha Bhonsle duet’ Category


Today (1 may 2013) is the 94th birth anniversary of Manna Dey. Radio/ TV stations, sites etc must be celebrating this occasion with some of his songs. It is easy for most of them. All they have to do is discuss some of the well known Manna Dey songs from movies like “Zanjeer”, “Upkaar”, “Dil Hi To Hai”, “Anand”, “Mera Naam Joker” etc and that is all. The same well known songs can be used on other similar occasions as well.

In the olden days, Radio Ceylon was the catalyst of that kept the memories of old gems of 1930s and 1940s and even early 1950s alive in the minds of listeners. However, one cannot underestimate the contribution of Vivid Bharati in popularising the gems of latter 50s and 60s among the Hindi film songs. In fact, some of the songs from the films which failed miserably in the box office survived in the memories of listeners thanks to Vivid Bharati. I can recall a few such songs that I became aware of because they were often played on Vivid Bharati : tum jo huye mere hamsafar (1958), ye hawa ye fiza ye samaa (1958), baithhe hain rehguzar par dil ka diyaa jalaaye (1959), bahaaron se poochho mere pyaar ko tum (1960), nigaahein na phero chale jaayenge ham,(1960), tum jo aao to pyaar aa jaaye (1962). These are the only teasers and there are many more such songs already covered in this blog.

When I saw the lyrics of this song sent by Prakashchandra, who mentioned it as a rare melodious duet, I wondered what was this rare song. When I played this song, I immediately recognised this song as one that I had heard in the past without being aware of its details.
