Ek baat poochtaa hoon gar tum buraa naa maano
Posted on: July 10, 2010
“Banarasi Thug” (1962) is not a movie that I knew much about. I began to search for the songs of this movie after I was told by a reader (Veena Seth) that the songs of this movie are missing from the blog.
And what a find ! Now I realise that this movie was a musical blockbuster, and every song of this movie was popular.
Here is a song from this movie. It is sung by Mukesh and Usha Mangeshkar. The song is picturised on Manoj Kumar and Vijaya Chaudhary. The lyricist is someone called Akhtar Warsi Lucknowi. Music direction is the highly talented but grossly underutilised Iqbal Qureshi.
As can be seen from the names involved, this movie was more or less a B grade movie with A grade music. And one can be rest assured that this song is not the last song posted in this blog. I am going to post all songs from this movie that I can locate. the songs are really that good.
song-Ek baat poochhtaa hoon gar tum buraa naa maano (Banarasi Thug) (1962) Singers-Mukesh, Usha Mangeshkar, Lyrics-Akhtar Warsi Lucknowi, MD-Iqbal Qureshi
Lyrics
ek baat poochhtaa hoon
hmm
ek baat poochhtaa hoon
hmm
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
ek baat poochhtaa hoon
hmm
dekhaa kahin hai tumne
dil meraa kho gayaa hai
meraa hi ho ke mujhse
naaraaz ho gayaa hai
naaraaz ho gayaa hai
bolo to dhoondh loon main
hmm
bolo to dhoondh loon main
hmm
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
ek baat poochhti hoon
hmm
kaisaa hai dil tumhaaraa
phirtaa hai maaraa-maaraa
bedil tumhen banaakar
khud ho gayaa aawaaraa
khud ho gayaa aawaaraa
samjhaa ke bhej doon main
hmm
samjhaa ke bhej doon main
hmm
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
ek baat poochhtaa hoon
hmm
dil tha kabhi hamaara
ab ho gaya tumhaara
ghar mein tumhaare aaya
mehmaan banke ghar kaa
mehmaan banke ghar kaa
bolo to dekh loon main
bolo to dekh loon main
hmm
gar tum buraa naa maano
naa
gar tum buraa naa maano
naa
ek baat poochhti hoon
hmm
naaraaz hai ye tumse
rahne do paas mere
jaataa nahin bechaaraa
ghar se nikaaloon kaise
ghar se nikaaloon kaise
dil kaise tod doon main
hmm
dil kaise tod doon main
hmm
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
gar tum buraa na maano
naa
ek baat poochhtaa hoon
hmm

Oh that IS lovely lovely lovely. I always wonder why Vijaya Chaudhary disappeared without much of a trace too, she is beautiful.

Vijaya Chaudhary was around till 1970s, I think. she was there in movies like “Sarswati Chandra” (1968), “Sambandh” (1969) and “Phir Kab Milogi” (1974)

Thanks for posting this lovely and rare number.
Iqbal Qureshi composed great music for many movies in the 60’s viz. CHA CHA CHA 64, LOVE IN SIMLA 60, UMAR QAID 61, PANCHAYAT 58, BINDIYA 60, YEH DIL KISKO DOON 63, among others.
His songs were refreshing and different from the other composers of his age.
Please include more songs from this great but unheralded composer.

I am wondering why I didn’t remember this song earlier! It is a delightful songs and one of the songs for which I have noted down the lyrics, so I could actually remember the words as I heard the song today! Thanks for this gem, Atul!
