Mujhko iss raat ki tanhaayi me aawaaz na do
Posted on: January 12, 2009
There are many songs that I describe as “chaayageet” songs. “Chaayageet” songs by my definition are those which are best listened to at night, that too alone. Words like “raat” and “tanhaayi” tend to indicate that the song is a “chaayageet” song.
I have found that the effect is magnified if the “tanha raat” is a “baarish ki raat” as well. The mood of the song then takes on an added dimension of gloominess. And in case the song is sung by Mukesh, then one cannot ask for anything better.
This movie is called “Dil bhi tere ham bhi tere” and its music is composed by Kalyanji Anandji. The wonderful song is penned by someone called Shamim Jaipuri.
The song is picturised on Dharmendra who was then in his debut year as an actor. This must be one of the very first sad songs picturised on Dharmendra. In fact, this must be one of the very first songs ( of any kind) picturised on Dharmendra. The picturisation is appropriately “Chaayageet” like too.
PS-Later I was informed that this is a multiple version song and this song has a female version too. The female version is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Kumkum.

mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
jiski aawaaz rulaa de
mujhe wo saaz na do o
wo saaz na do o
aawaaz na do
raushni ho na saki
dil bhi jalaayaa maine
tumko bhoolaa hi nahin
laakh bhulaayaa maine
main pareshaan hoon
mujhe aur pareshaan na karo o
aawaaz na do
mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
is kadar jald kiya
mujhse kanaaraa tumne
koyi bhatkegaa akelaa
ye na sochaa tumne
chhup gaye ho
to mujhe yaad bhi aayaa na karo o
aawaaz na do
mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
jiski aawaaz rulaa de
mujhe wo saaz na do o
wo saaz na do o
aawaaz na do

mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
jiski aawaaz rulaa de
mujhe wo saaz na do o
wo saaz na do o
aawaaz na do
maine ab tumse na milne ki qasam khaayi hai
kya khabar tumko
meri jaan pe ban aayi hai
main behak jaaun
kasam khaake
tum aisa na karo
aawaaz na do
mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
dil mera doob gaya
aas meri toot gayi
mere haathon hi se
patwaar meri chhoot gayi
ab main toofaan mein hoon
saahil se ishaara na karo o
aawaaz na do
mujhko is raat ki tanhaayi mein aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do o
aawaaz na do
jiski aawaaz rulaa de
mujhe wo saaz na do o
wo saaz na do o
aawaaz na do

I fell short of my target for the last three days, and so I was feeling like I had lost some valuable time in which I could have posted a few more songs.

Great song … beautifully described. The prelude music (after the bells) seems inspired by the opening bars of Brahms Hungarian dance No. 4. Perhaps it takes a genius to inspire another.

hey Atul, you are posting more than a song a day, and I can’t keep up. Thanks for this absolutely lovely number (you keep reminding of songs that I know but have gone to the back of my head)…
