Raahi thha main aawaara
Posted on: March 20, 2009
“Sahib Bahadur” (1977) was one of the forgettable movies of Dev Anand. Incidentally, it was a remake of another Dev Anand movie called “Afsar” (1950) which was presumably less forgettable.
The movie was directed by Chetan Anand. The movie had music by Madan Mohan and the songs were quite good, though they also were forgotten.
Here is a song sung by Kishore Kumar. This song “raahi thha main aawaara” was written by Kaifi Azmi.
Song-Raahi thha main aawaara (Sahib Bahadur) (1977) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Kaifi Azmi, MD-Madan Mohan
Lyrics
Raahi thha main aawaara phirta tha maara maara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
Raahi thha main aawaara phirta thha maara maara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
Raahi thha main aawaara
Mahke huye badan se khusboo si aa rahi hai
Mahke huye badan se khusboo si aa rahi hai
Jaise pawan kahin par chandan lutaa rahi hai
aankhon se koyi dil me aise utar raha hai
benaam sa nasha hai
Raahi tha main aawaara phirta thha maara maara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
rahi thha main awara
jee chaahta hai mera koyi raat aisi aaye
jee chaahta hai mera koyi raat aisi aaye
dekhe jo saath hamko phir laut ke naa jaaye
main tumse kuch na boloon tum mujhse kuch na bolo
khaamoshiyaan bhi sochen ye kaun si adaa hai
raahi thha main aawaara phirta thha maara maara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
raahi thha main aawaara
dekha jidhar jidhar bhi masti bhari nazar se
dekha jidhar jidhar bhi masti bhari nazar se
raahon me rang chaahey baaghon mein phool barse
jaise kadam kadam pe maikhana khul gaya hai
benaam sa nasha hai
raahi thha main aawaara phirta thha maara maara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
tere shaher mein aakar ik din chamka taqdaar ka tara
rahi thha main aawaara

As I mentioned, this movie was a forgotten movie and as such its songs did not have an opportunity to get popular. that in fact was the fate of most movies with Madan Mohan’s music in them.

It could be a tribute to Priya Rajvansh also. Her death resembles a suspense film of bollywood.
Thanks
