Katate hain dukh mein ye din
Posted on: January 21, 2009
I have read a lot about this song, but it is only now, 58 years after this song was composed, that I have finally listened to this song. After listening to it twice, I must say that I am quite impressed.
The song is sung by Lata. The impressive lyrics have been written by a lyricist called Noor Lucknowi, whereas music is by that musical genius C Ramchandra.
The music is so mimimal and basic that one may even miss it, but it plays an important part in creating the ambience. Lata Mangeshkar who was a newcomer those days was adding to her reputation with every passing song, and this song certainly enhanced her reputation.
Song-Kat te hain dukh me ye din (Parchhaain) (1952) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Noor Lucknowi, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
katate hain dukh mein ye din, pahloo badal badal ke
rahte hain dil ke dil mein, armaan machal machal ke
katate hain dukh mein ye din
tadpaayegaa kahaan tak, ai dard-e-dil bataa de
ruswaa kahin na kar den, aansoo nikal nikal ke
katate hain dukh mein ye din
ye khaaq par jo chamkein, ye khaaq par jo chamkein
zarre na inko samjho
phenkaa gayaa hai dil kaa, phenkaa gayaa hai dil kaa
sheesha kuchal kuchal ke
katate hain dukh mein ye din
ulfat ki thokaron se,
ulfat ki thokaron se, aakhir na bach sakaa dil
ulfat ki thokaron se, aakhir na bach sakaa dil
jitne kadam uthaaye, hamne sambhal sambhal ke
katate hain dukh mein ye din, pahloo badal badal ke
katate hain dukh mein ye din

Atulji
The tag line of this song shows the name of SANDHYA,(but sandhya is nowhere to seen in the picutrisation of the song)
The name of the lady singining the song while sleeping is JAYASHREE(she is mother of rajashree and wife of V.Shantharam),
I don`t know name of three other ladies: lady with sitaar,nurse and a lady with pallu on her head.
Am I right?? Somebody confirm the correctness of the fact HELP!!!

Thank you for this lovely upload. I would just suggest a small change in the words. You have posted:
ye khauf par jo chamki, ye khauf par jo chamaki
jarre na inko samjho
The correct words are
Ye Khaaq par jo chamkein
zarrey na inko samjho
phenka gaya hai dil ka
sheesh kuchal kuchal ke
The reference is to the slivers which shine in the mud – these are the bits of the broken heart….

That was quite a feat, singing this song so effortlessly while lying in bed, even reaching high notes so clearly! I am not sure if I have ever heard this song before, but it is a beautiful song. By the way, does anyone know who the two ladies are?
