Parde mein rahne do

Posted on: November 11, 2008


This song was an absolutely iconic song circa 1960s ever since I started following Bollywood music as a child. I had no idea which movie this song was from, but this is one song that I have nver forgotten since.

It is a song that is so characteristic of Asha Bhonsle. It is difficult to imagine any other singer singing this song so well.

It is only now that I have found out that this song was from a movie called Shikaar. Its music was composed by Shankar Jaikishan and lyricist was Hasrat Jaipuri. 1968 was the year which I call titanium year of Bollywood movie magic. This song had finished 9th in Binaca geetmala final of that year.


Song- Parde me rahne do (Shikaar)(1968 ) Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics- Hasrat Jaipuri, MD- Shankar Jaikishan

parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
pardaa jo uth gayaa to bhed khul jaayegaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
pardaa jo uth gayaa to bhed khul jaayegaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa

mere parde mein laakh jalwe hain
kaise mujhse nazar milaaoge
jab zaraa bhi naqaab uthaaungi
jab zaraa bhi naqaab uthaaungi
yaad rakhanaa ke
yaad rakhanaa ke, jal hi jaaoge
haan to parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
pardaa jo uth gayaa to bhed khul jaayegaa
ui ui allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa

husn jab benaqaab hotaa hai
wo samaan laajawaab hotaa hai
khud ko khud ki khabar nahin rahti
khud ko khud ki khabar nahin rahti
hosh waalaa bhi
hosh waalaa bhi, hosh khotaa hai
haan to parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
pardaa jo uth gayaa to bhed khul jaayegaa
ui allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa

haay jisne mujhe banaayaa hai,
wo bhi mujhko samajh na paayaa hai
mujhko sajde kiye hain insaan ne
mujhko sajde kiye hain insaan ne
in farishton ne
in farishton ne, sar jhukaayaa hai
haan to parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
parde mein rahne do, pardaa na uthaao
pardaa jo uth gayaa to bhed khul jaayegaa
ui allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
ui ui ui allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa
allaah meri taubaa, allaah meri taubaa

Indeed very popular song.
I also remember it from my very early days.
These are songs that I call “1-year old” songs…meaning you feel as if you have heard them from the time that you were one year old. 🙂

This one was a popular song for dance among young women.

Nice song. Raja ji.. I like the “one year old song”. I feel like that about quite a few songs.. some of which were released even decades before i was born :).
