Tu kahaan gayi thhi tera mar jaaye saanwariya
Posted on: November 27, 2008
Most of the time, I discuss songs that are evergreen, popular, iconic, outstanding, of high quality etc. But there are occasions when I love to discuss songs that fall short of such high standards. But I still like them, because listeneing/ watching them is fun.
Here is one such fun song from “Dharam Karam”. This song was no great shakes even during its days. The most popular song from this movie was “ik din bik jaayega maati ke mol”, which I have already discussed in this blog. Today, I will discuss the much more inane, but still fun song that goes ” tu kahan gayi thi tera mar jaaye saanwariya”.
I am beginning to come round to the realisation that Randhir Kapoor was the predecessor of Govinda when it came to acting in David Dhawanesque movies/ songs. The lyrics of this song remind me so much of “teri naani mari to main kya karoon” from Govinda’s “Raja Babu”.
Coming to the song “tu kahan gai thi”, it is picturised on Randhir Kapoor and Rekha, and both were known as wasters in Bollywood circles those days. Randhir Kapoor continued to live up to the tag, and found himself jobless after a few years, while Rakha miraculously metamorphosed into a top heroine of Bollywood in the years to come.
This song is a totally timepass song, and it is needed to be enjoyed as such. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist and R D Burman composed the music. Kishore Kumar and Lata were the playback singers.

Lyrics
tu kahaan gayi thi teraa mar jaaye saanwariyaa
tu kahaan gayi thi teraa mar jaaye saanwariyaa
chidiyaa jaisi udti-phirti kyaa mastaani gudiyaa
tu kahaan gayi thi o teraa mar jaaye saanwariyaa
tu kahaan gayi thi teraa mar jaaye saanwariyaa
tu kahaan gayaa thaa teri mar jaaye sajaniyaa
tu kahaan gayaa thaa teri mar jaaye sajaniyaa
ultaa chor kotwaal ko daante ho gayi kaisi duniyaa re
tu kahaan gayaa thaa teri mar jaaye sajaniyaa
tu kahaan gayaa thaa teri mar jaaye sajaniyaa
kahaan main gayaa thaa main to gayaa thaa karne sair chaman mein
ho khadi thi wahaan pe haay ek haseenaa masti bharke badan mein
main bhi zaraa fir uske gale se liptaa paagalpan mein
ho aage iske kuchh bhi nahin tu pad gayi kis uljhan mein
to baaki rahaa kyaa
to baaki rahaa kyaa yahi sochoon main baawariyaa
tu kahaan gayi thi o teraa mar jaaye saanwariyaa
kahaan main gayi thi main to gayi thi karne sair gali mein
ho ek rangeelaa mil gayaa aisaa uski or chali main
pakdi jo usne meri kalaayi kyaa kahoon kaise khili main
ho aage iske kuchh bhi nahin tu pad gayaa kis uljhan mein
to baaki rahaa kyaa
to baaki rahaa kyaa o bolo meri gulbadaniya
tu kahaan gayaa thaa teri mar jaaye sajaniyaa
teri qasam hai main to gayaa thaa pyaari baaten karne
ho aur qasam hai main bhi gayi thi tere hi peechhe marne
ho aage peeche kuch bhi nahin ham pad gaye kis uljhan me
ham kahaan gaye the jaane hai saari nagariyaa
ham kahan gaye the
ham kahaan gaye the jaane hai saari nagariyaa
ham kahan gaye the
