Saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
Posted on: April 21, 2009
“Ek Hi Raasta” (1956) was a heart warming movie, going by the songs of this movie. Meena Kumari, who later became known for playing tragedy roles, played a happy character in this movie. Sunil Dutt played her husband and Daisy Irani played their kid. I had earlier posted a nice song from this movie viz “chali gori pi ke milan ko chali”.
Here is another song from this song. This is a “bicycle” song where both Sunil Dutt and Meena KUmari riding a twin paddled bicycle with Daisy Irani seated in the basket infront.
Hemant Kumar doubles up as singer as well as music director, with Lata the female playback singer and Majrooh Sultanpuri writing the song.
I heard ( and watched) this song today for the first time. And I am sure there are many such songs that I have yet to discover.
Song-Saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke (Ek Hi raasta)(1956) Singers-Hemant Kumar, Lata, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Hemant Kumar
Lyrics
saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
jhoomte nazaare jhoome rang daar ke
nadi kinaare
koyal pukaare
aayaa zamaanaa gaao geet pyaar ke
saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
jhoomte nazaare jhoome rang daar ke
nadi kinaare
koyal pukaare
aayaa zamaanaa gaao geet pyaar ke
jhoom ke pawan dekho chali chali
pyaar ke nashe mein khili kali kali
jhoom ke pawan dekho chali chali
pyaar ke nashe mein khili kali kali
phoolon ke dar pe ye bhanwraa pukaare
phoolon ke dar pe ye bhanwraa pukaare
aaye deewaane tere intazaar ke
saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
jhoomte nazaare jhoome rang daar ke
nadi kinaare
koyal pukaare
aayaa zamaanaa gaao geet pyaar ke
dolti ghataa ke sang dole jiyaa
baag mein papeehaa bole piyaa piyaa
dolti ghataa ke sang dole jiyaa
baag mein papeehaa bole piyaa piyaa
rut rangeeli kahe karke ishaare
rut rangeeli kahe karke ishaare
chhedo fasaane dil-e-beqaraar ke
saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
jhoomte nazaare jhoome rang daar ke
nadi kinaare
koyal pukaare
aayaa zamaanaa gaao geet pyaar ke
saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke
jhoomte nazaare jhoome rang daar ke
nadi kinaare
koyal pukaare
aayaa zamaanaa gaao geet pyaar ke

The tune of this song is more or less similar to that of ‘Halke halke chalo sanware’ from TANGEWALI (1955) sung by Lata and Hemant Kumar.

I have heard this song before.
Nice song.
This movie “Ek Hi Raasta” is a landmark movie made by BR Chopra.
It was his first movie with Sunil Dutt. He was so impressed by Sunil Dutt (who was relatively raw at that time) that he made many more movies after that with Sunil Dutt (e.g. Sadhna, Gumraah, Waqt, Humraaz etc).
