Maaraa re maaraa re maaraa
Posted by: Atul on: September 7, 2009
“Aab e Hayaat” (1955), by its title sounds like an Arabian night’s kind of a movie. But apparently this movie was set in contemporary times. Or may be even if it was not, the songs were quite contemporary.
It was with great glee that I discovered that this movie had what looked like a cabarat song, and guess who was the cabarat dancer ? The one and only Helen ! This must be one of her earliest cabarat dances in her long and illustrious career. Here she performs her dance in a gathering (bar ?) that has our hero (Premnath) and villain (Pran) also in attendance, alongwith the heroine (Shashikala) in a drag.
The song is written by Hasrat Jaipuri and composed by Sardar Malik. Geeta Dutt is the singer.

Lyrics
maara re maara re maara
maara re maara re wo maara
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara paara
wo maara
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara
lalalalalalala
lalalalalalala
dil waala saamne aaye
wo baat ham se kar jaaye
dil waala saamne aaye
wo baat ham se kar jaaye
maara re maara wo maara
chehra ho dard sene me dard
phire mere peechhe maara maara
phire mere peechhe maara
wo maaraa
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara
o naujwaan matwaale
dil ko sambhaal
o dil ko sambhaal dilwaale
o naujwaan matwaale
dil ko sambhaal dilwaale
maara re maara wo maara
albeli chaal resham ka jaal
kare dil mein dard pyaara pyaara
kare dil mein dard pyaara
o maara
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara
lalalalalala
lalalalalala
chutki bajaake dil lootoon
bijli si banke main tootoon
chutki bajaake dil lootoon
bijli si banke main tootoon
maara re maara re wo maara
jhoomoon ka raag majnoon ki aag
ye baat jaankaara kaara
ye baat jaankaara
wo maara
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara paara
wo maara
aankhen kataar
dekha mera waar
tera dil ke aar paara paara
tera dil ke aar paara
