Yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
Posted on: August 25, 2009
Guru Dutt and Meena Kumari were two individuals who started their careers playing lighthearted sunny characters but then they began to play tragic roles. They got so immersed in such roles that their real lives too became an extension of their reel life tragedy roles.
“Saanjh Aur Sawera” (1964) was a movie in which both of them acted together. Here is a duet song from this that was picturised on them. This song is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.
This song is the title song of this movie. The picturisation of the song is cheerful enough. I have no idea what happens in the movie, though.

Lyrics
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
lalala lalala lalala
lalala lalala lalala
tumhin chhupe the meri zindagi ke darpan mein
tumhaaraa pyaar sametaa hai apne daaman mein
jale hain pyaar ke deepak banaa dhuaan kaajal
khile hain phool tamannaa ke dil ke aangan mein
milaa mujhe saath sang teraa
chamak uthaa ab naseeb meraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
lalalaa lalaa lalaa
lalalaa lalaa lalaa
meri palak se tumhaari palak kaa saayaa hai
zabaan-e-dil par tumhaaraa hi naam aayaa hai
nisaar aisi khushi par hamaari saari umar
ke hamne chaand ko apne gale lagaayaa hai
tumne rang pyaar kaa bharaa gahraa
nikhar gayaa aasmaan kaa chehraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa
jiske liye tadpe ham saaraa jeewan bhar
yahi hai wo saanjh aur saweraa

Asha Bhonsle almost sounds like Meena Kumari herself in this song.

The movie did not succeed but the songs were hits. Ajahun na aaye balma is from this movie as well.

The missing lyrics need to be added as well.

It is one big long weep-fest. Everybody suffers. (I wrote a post on it if you really want details, but trust me.)
