Taaron ki thandi chaiyyaan
Posted on: April 1, 2009
As is usual with me, I have been discovering many forgotten gems almost on a daily basis as far as bollywood songs are concerned.
Here is a song from “Naag Devta” (1962). Any one has heard of this movie ? Few people will reply in the affirmative with any conviction. There tended to be movies of such names in the C grade Bollywood movie circuit.
As a music director, S N Tripathi was the biggest name for such mythological movies. And every once in a while, his music would transcend the C grade barrier and would begin to compete with the music of A grade movies.
This song certainly looks like a fit candidate to take on the best song of the year 1962, not that it actually happened ( when I look at the Binaca geetmala final list of songs for 1962).
This song is certainly of a very good standard, and I loved this song the very first time I listened to it ( which is just now).
Sung by Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur, who both had the knacks of coming up with very high percentage of hit songs, deliver a winning song.
It is a C grade movie , as mentioned earlier, and the song is picturised on actors like Mahipaal and Anjali Devi, but the song ( lyrics by Bharat Vyas) deserves to be much better known.

Lyrics
taaron ki thandi chhainyaa ham-tum mile
o saiyaan yaad rahe o saiyaan yaad rahe
bheegi-bheegi meethi ratiyaan pyaari-pyaari batiyaan
sajni yaad rahe o sajni yaad rahe
pihu-pihu bole kahin door se papeeharaa ji door se papeeharaa
pihu-pihu bole kahin door se papeeharaa ji door se papeeharaa
piyaa-piyaa bole moraa matwaaraa jiyaraa
kaliyon pe bhanwaraa dole
kaliyon pe bhanwaraa dole haule-haule haule-haule
saiyaan yaad rahe o sainyaan yaad rahe
bheegi-bheegi meethi ratiyaan pyaari-pyaari batiyaan
sajni yaad rahe o sajni yaad rahe
laten ghunghraali kaali goraa-goraa roop hai ji goraa-goraa roop hai
laten ghunghraali kaali goraa-goraa roop hai
kaisaa ye jaadu dekhaa chhaanv mein dhoop hai
ghoonghat mein chhup ke jhaanke
ghoonghat mein chhup ke jhaanke nain tore baanke
sajni yaad rahe o sajni yaad rahe
taaron ki thandi chhainyaa ham-tum mile
o saiyaan yaad rahe o saiyaan yaad rahe
lahron pe chham-chham naache chandaa ki chandaniyaa ji
chandaa ki chandaniyaa
ho
lahron pe chham-chham naache chandaa ki chandaniyaa
ban-than ke aayi dekho raat dulhaniyaa
taaron ki baaraat aayi
taaron ki baaraat aayi baaje shahnaayi
saiyaan yaad rahe o saiyaan yaad rahe
bheegi-bheegi meethi ratiyaan pyaari-pyaari batiyaan
sajni yaad rahe o sajni yaad rahe
taaron ki thandi chhainyaa ham-tum mile
o saiyaan yaad rahe o saiyaan yaad rahe
