Wo paas bhi rahkar paas nahin

When I was young, I disliked old songs, and I would only listen to new songs, which meant songs of 1970s. But now I cannot have enough of old songs, viz songs of 1950s and even earlier. In fact, I love the music of the songs in these songs.
Among all the music directors of those days, I love listening to the music of Husnlal Bhagatram. Their music has some special old fashioned charm.
Here is a song from “Afsaana” (1951). The voice looks different, but I find that this voice belongs to none other than Lata. So it shows that even Lata’s voice was influenced by the leading singers of those days in the early days of her career.
The song is picturised on Veena and Ashok Kumar. Asad Bhopali is the lyricist.
I listened to this song for the first time today, and I loved it listening to it. This song must be one of the more popular songs created by Husnlal Bahagatram, seeing that its video links are available. I found this song a nice song to listen to.
Song-Wo paas bhi rahkar paas nahin (Afsaana) (1951) Singer- Lata, Lyrics-Asad Bhopali, MD-Husnlal Bhagatram
Lyrics
Wo paas bhi rahkar paas nahin
ham door bhirahkar door nahin
ham door bhirahkar door nahin
do bichchde huye dil mil jaaye
kismat ko bhi manzoor nahin
kismat ko bhi manzoor nahin
wo aaye to dil ka afsaana
ham kah naa sake wo sun naa sake
wo hamse judaa kyun rahte hain
wo hamse judaa kyun rahte hain
jo dil se hamaare door nahin
jo dil se hamaare door nahin
wo paas bhi rahkar paas nahin
ham door bhi rahkar door nahin
ham door bhi rahkar door nahin
ai bigdi huyi taqdeer bataa
kyaa hamse huyi hai aisi khataa
kashti ko kinaara mil jaaye
kashti ko kinaara mil jaaye
bedard tujhe manzoor nahin
bedard tujhe manzoor nahin
woh paas bhi rahkar bhi paas nahi
ham door bhi rahkar door nahin
ham door bhi rahkar door nahin
