Tera khat leke sanam
Posted on: March 29, 2009
Whenever I see Meena Kumari in a song, I dread that a melancholic song is going to follow. And I heave a big sigh of relief every time my fears turn out to be unfounded.
By now I have realised that Meena Kumari began her career with happy roles and it was only in 1960s ( second decade of her career) that she was typedcast into sad roles.
The bubbly happy roles that she played in 1950s make for such pleasant watching. I have posted quite a few songs featuring Meena Kumari from 1950s.
Here is a song from a movie called “Ardhangini ” (1959) featuring that other ” dreaded” sad role playing actor viz Raj Kumar. I have no idea whether the duo began their dreadful sad careers in this movie or whether they waited for the next decade for that.
In any case, this song featuring Meena Kumari is a happy enough song. It is sung by Lata. Written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Vasant Desai, this song is a “chitthi” song. Should I call it a “jhoola” song as well duly opening a tag by this name ?

Lyrics
hahahah
hohohoho
aaaa
teraa khat le ke sanam
paanv kahin rakhte hain ham, o
kahin padte hain kadam, kahin padte hain kadam
teraa khat le ke sanam
paanv kahin rakhte hain ham, o
kahin padte hain kadam, kahin padte hain kadam
raaz jo is mein chhipaa hai wo samjhataa hai dil
aa raaz jo is mein chhipaa hai wo samjhataa hai dil
kaise bhoolegi ye khat ham se dhadaktaa hai dil
ye dil thahre zaraa
nazar thahre zaraa
hosh mein aa le zaraa ham
teraa khat le ke sanam
paanv kahin rakhte hain ham, o
kahin padte hain kadam, kahin padte hain kadam
is mein jo baat bhi hogi badi qaatil hogi
aa aa aa
aaa aa aaa
is mein jo baat bhi hogi badi qaatil hogi
teri aawaaz bhi in baaton mein shaamil hogi
ye dil thahare zaraa
nazar thahare zaraa
sune phir teri sadaa ham
teraa khat le ke sanam
paanv kahin rakhte hain ham, o
kahin padte hain kadam, kahin padte hain kadam
kyon na paa kar ise toofaan uthe seene mein aa
kyon na paa kar ise toofaan uthe seene mein
teri soorat nazar aati hai is aaine mein
ye dil thahare zaraa
nazar thahare zaraa
zaraa phir ho le fidaa ham
teraa khat le ke sanam
paanv kahin rakhte hain ham, o
kahin padte hain kadam, kahin padte hain kadam
teraa khat le ke sanam

A pity about not being able to retain the video clip . There is another song from the same movie in which Meena Kumari displays her vivacity . It goes ” Apne saiyyan se naina ladaibe ..hamari koi ka kari hai ” or something to that effect … I suspect it is in Bhojpuri.
Would love to see it and have the complete lyrics too.
