Dhalti jaaye raat kahle dil ki baat
Posted on: September 1, 2009
I recall this song from my younger days. This has to be the ultimate chaayaageet song. I recall listening to this song emanating from radios late at night after 10 PM and wondering why they had to play such boring songs at that time. And now, when I stumbled upon this song again, I felt like I had discovered a great treasure.
I had no clue about the details of this song. Now I know that this song is from “Razia Sultana” (1961), not to be confused with “Razia Sultan” of 1983.
In “Razia Sultana” (1961), Nirupa Roy plays the title role and Jairaj co stars. This song is picturised on them, though they just listen to it. This song is being sung by some others in moonlit night, and this song is causing its intended effects on Nirupa Ray and Jairaj.
This song is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle and it is in fact so magical that I must call it a “mesmerising” song. The song is written by Anand Bakshi and this must be one of his earlier songs. The music which causes such an impression in the minds of the listeners even to this date is composed by Lachchiram.
It is a gem of a song , really.

Lyrics
Dhalti jaaye raat kah le dil ki baat
shamaa-parwaane kaa na hogaa phir saath
dhalti jaaye raat kah le dil ki baat
shamaa-parwaane kaa na hogaa phir saath
dhalti jaaye raat
mast nazaare chaand sitaare
raat ke mehmaan hain ye saare
hmm
uth jaayegi shab ki mahfil
noor-e-sahar ke sunke nakkaare
ho na ho dubaaraa mulaaqaat
ho ho
dhalti jaaye raat
neend ke bas mein khoyi-khoyi
kul duniyaa hai soyi-soyi
aa
aise mein bhi jaag rahaa hai
ham-tum jaisaa koyi-koyi
kyaa haseen hai taaron ki baaraat
hmm
dhalti jaaye raat
jo bhi nigaahen chaar hai kartaa
uspe zamaanaa waar hai kartaa
hmm
raah-e-wafaa kaa ban ke raahi
phir bhi tumhen dil pyaar hai kartaa
baithaa naa ho le ke koyi ghaat
hmm
dhalti jaaye raat kah le dil ki baat
shamaa-parwaane kaa na hogaa phir saath
dhalti jaaye raat kah le dil ki baat
shamaa-parwaane kaa na hogaa phir saath
dhalti jaaye raat

If liking songs of the past is acquiring the sense of music then yes, we now have acquired this taste. 🙂 And what a lovely chaayageet song this is. And it evokes such strong nostalgia too.

Indeed the ultimate chhayageet song, I remember this very well too.
And having the same emotions as you.
But now when I listen to it, I am really able to appreciate the song.
I would like to think that we have now acquired a sense of music. 🙂
