Ye mera prem patra padhkar
Posted on: February 18, 2009
I have posted several “chitthi” songs in this blog. These “chitthi” songs began to make their appearance in Bollywood movie is 1960s, I think.
“Sangam” (1964) has a wonderful “chitthi” song. In fact it is a prempatra (love letter) song.
The song is sung by Rafi. Hasrat Jaipuri wrote this song with as much involvement as if he was writing a prem patra to his beloved.
Hasrat Jaipuri has described the feelings of a love letter writing person so wonderfully well. And Rafi has sung this song with great passion and involvement.
The music by Shankar Jaikishan creates just the right ambience. This video not only contains the song, but also the music that precedes the song and follows it.
It is a song that is bound to touch the heart strings of its listeners.

Song-Ye mera prem patra padhkar (Sangam) (1964) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
meharban likhoon
haseena likhoon
ya phir dilruba likhoon
hairaan hoon ki aapko is khat me kya likhoon
ye meraa prempatra padh kar
ke tum naaraaz naa honaa
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ye meraa prempatra padh kar
ke tum naaraaz naa honaa
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri zindagi ho
tujhe main chaand kahtaa thaa
magar usmen bhi daagh hai
tujhe main chaand kahtaa thaa
magar usmen bhi daagh hai
tujhe sooraj main kahtaa thaa
magar usmen bhi aag hai
tujhe itnaa hi kahtaa hoon
ki mujhko tumse pyaar hai
tumse pyaar hai
tumse pyaar hai
ye meraa prempatra padh kar
ke tum naaraaz naa honaa
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri bandagi ho
tujhe gangaa main samjhoongaa
tujhe jamunaa main samjhoongaa
tujhe gangaa main samjhoongaa
tujhe jamunaa main samjhoongaa
tu dil ke paas hai itni
tujhe apna main samjhoongaa
agar mar jaaun rooh bhatkegi
tere intezaar mein
intezaar mein
intezaar mein
ye meraa prempatra padh kar
ke tum naaraaz naa honaa
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri bandagi ho
ye meraa prempatra padh kar
ke tum naaraaz naa honaa
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri bandagi ho
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri bandagi ho
ke tum meri zindagi ho
ke tum meri bandagi ho

In this video, the song precedes by beautiful instrumentals running about 2:30 minutes and ends with Lata’s humming and singing one line ‘ tum meri bandagi ho’.

Atul, you have outdone yourself. Each song you have presented today is a gem of a song. My only problem is that it is difficult for me to step away from the computer when there are so many good songs in one sitting, and it is better when you ration them out, one by one! I don’t want to attend to my work on these days because I am tempted to listen to these songs again and again!
