Kashmir ki kali hoon main
Posted on: December 27, 2008
Till recently I thought that this song “Kashmir ki kali hoon main” was the title song of “Kashmir ki kali”. Only when I began to research this song that I realised my ignorance. It is indeed a Shammi Kapoor song, but from “Junglee” and its music was by Shankar Jaikishan (“Kashmir ki kali” had its music by O P Nayyar).
Since the term “Kashmir ki kali” finds its mention in this movie prior to the release of “Kashmir ki kali”, I think that the mention of this term in this song might have prompted the makers of “Kashmir ki Kali” to name their movie that way.
Come to think of it, the term, now so well known, may not have meant anything before Hasrat Jaipuri coined it. The song too may not have meant much to listeners when they first listened to it. I think that it is only with passage of time that this song has become popular.
The song is picturised on the debutant heroine Saira Bano who looks so impossibly young in this picturisation. But then this picturisation took place some 47 years ago, and time is not known to stand still.

Lyrics
Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
are Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
rangat meri bahaaron mein
dil ki aag chanaaron mein
rangat meri bahaaron mein
dil ki aag chanaaron mein
kuchh to hamse baat karo
in bahke gulzaaron me
kuchh to hamse baat karo
in bahke gulzaaron me
Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
Pyaar pe gussa karte ho
tera gussa hamko pyaara hai
Pyaar pe gussa karte ho
tera gussa hamko pyaara hai
yahi adaa to qaatil hai
isne hamko maaraa hai
yahi adaa to qaatil hai
isne hamko maaraa hai
Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
Are Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
Chhodo ji naaraazi ko
todo is khaamoshi ko
Chhodo ji naaraazi ko
todo is khaamoshi ko
aap azab hain shaikh ji
samjhe naa shaahzaadi ko
aap azab hain shaikh ji
samjhe naa shaahzaadi ko
Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin
Are Kaashmir ki kali hoon main
mujhse na rootho babuji
murjha gayi to phir na khiloongi
kabhi nahin kabhi nahin kabhi nahin

A nice fast paced number.. guess it is to keep up with Shammi Kapoor :).
