Bachke balam chal ke rasta hai mushqil
Posted on: November 30, 2009
Bollywood movies typically sell on the name of their Hero/ Heroine. Then there were movies that sold because of the music.
It is interesting to note that Johny Walker, who was not a hero, nor a music director, also became a big draw for movie goers. Yes, Johny Walker became the first comedian (Mehmood being the second) whose name began to sell movies. To take advantage of public fascination, Johny Walker would invariably be given one song to sing in every movie, even if he was not the hero.
In fact, Johny Walker himself began to make movies casting himself as the hero. In one case, he was not only the hero, even the title of the movie was “Johny Walker”.
Johny Walker tended to sign up O P Nayyar as the music director of his movies, and some of the finest music created by O P Nayyar came in movies featuring Johny Walker as the hero.
Here is a lovely duet from “Johny Walker” (1957). It is sung by Geeta Dutt and Rafi and it is picturised o Shyama and Johny Walker. This song discusses places like Bambai (Bombay, now Mumbai), Dilli (Delhi), Taj, Kalkatta (Kolkata) and are picturised in these locations. The song is a bicycle song as well.
Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist of this song.

Lyrics
bachke balam chal
ke rasta hai mushqil
muhabbat ke bazaar ka
kabhi bhoologe tum
kabhi bhoolenge ham
hai ajab raaz is pyaar ka
bachna hai mushqil
jo milte hain do dil
mohabaat ke bazaar mein
kabhi gham ki ghata
kabhi thandi hawaa
hai muhabbat ke gulzaar mein
ye jawaan Bambai ke nazaare
ho ho
ke churaa lenge dil ko tumhaare
aa haa
ye jawaan Bambai ke nazaare
ke churaa lenge dil ko tumhaare
bahaaron ke mele mein jhagda na karna
ye mausam hai ikraar ka
haay
bachna hai mushqil
jo milte hain do dil
mohabaat ke bazaar mein
kabhi gham ki ghata
kabhi thandi hawaa
hai muhabbat ke gulzaar mein
ye Dilli ki madhosh galiyaan
hai ulfat ki rangeen kaliyaan
ye Dilli ki madhosh galiyaan
hai ulfat ki rangeen kaliyaan
yahaan to milenge hazaaron hi jalwe
muhabbat ke darbaar mein
bachke balam chal
ke rasta hai mushqil
muhabbat ke bazaar ka
kabhi bhoologe tum
kabhi bhoolenge ham
hai ajab raaz is pyaar ka
ye haseen Taaj Jamuna kinaara
hai muhabbat ka dildaar nazaara
ye haseen Taaj Jamuna kinaara
hai muhabbat ka dildaar nazaara
yahaan so rahi hai muhabaat ki malika
khazaana liye pyaar ka
bachna hai mushqil
jo milte hain do dil
mohabaat ke bazaar mein
kabhi gham ki ghata
kabhi thandi hawaa
hai muhabbat ke gulzaar mein
Ye ujli sadak Kalkatte ki
suno baat tum ek pate ki
Ye ujli sadak Kalkatte ki
suno baat tum ek pate ki
yahaan har kadam par machalte hain jaadu
haseeno ke bazaar mein
bachke balam chal
ke rasta hai mushqil
muhabbat ke bazaar ka
kabhi bhoologe tum
kabhi bhoolenge ham
hai ajab raaz is pyaar ka
haay
bachna hai mushqil
jo milte hain do dil
mohabaat ke bazaar mein
kabhi gham ki ghata
kabhi thandi hawaa
hai muhabbat ke gulzaar mein
