Tum bin kal na aawe mohe
Posted on: October 4, 2010
Here is a song which must be perhaps the oldest piano song in Hindi movies. This song sees K L Saigal meeting a man (Can anyone tell who he is) and Kanan Devi. He decides that Kanan Devi is going to sing a poem of K L Saigal. Kanan Devi sits on the grand piano and sings this song.
Of course, Kanan Devi has sung this song which is picturised on herself. She was to female playback singing what K L Saigal was to male playback singing- viz a pioneer in playback singing in the early days of playback singing in Hindi movies. She had a lovely and very well trained voice and listening to her songs is a delight even today.
Here is this nice song from “Lagan” (1941). It is written by Aarzoo Lucknowi and music is composed by R C Boral.

Lyrics
tum bina kal na aawe mohe
tum bina kal na aawe
kachahu naahi sohaawe bhaawe
kachahu naahi sohaawe bhaawe
tum bina kal na aawe mohe
tum bina kal na aawe
aur ko raj rajaawe
aap chain na paawe
aur ko raj rajaawe
aap chain na paawe
yehi soch sataawe
yehi soch sataawe
tum bina kal na aawe mohe
tum bina kal na aawe
kathin dagar ka ped,
jaise
kathin dagar ka ped,
daya ke phool lutaawe
daya ke phool lutaawe
khadi dhup mein apne sar par,
chhanv mein sab ko bithave
khadi dhup mein apne sar par,
chhav mein sab ko bithave
wahi ped jab sookhe jal bin
wahi ped jab sookhe jab jal bin
kaise dekha jaawe
nyaayi aankhu bahaawe
komal man kumhlaawe
tum bina kal na aawe
kachhu naahi sohaawe bhaawe
tum bina kal na aawe mohe
tum bina kal na aawe
