Panghat pe dekho aayi milan ki belaa
Posted on: October 25, 2010
25th october is the date when Sahir Ludhianvi left this world in 1980, exactly three decades ago.
On the occasion of his death anniversary, today I am going to discuss some of his creations. His career began in early 1950s. The very first song that he wrote in Hindi movies was in “Do Raaha” (1952) but the movie was released later than “Naujawaan” (1951) and therefore it is “Naujawaan” (1951) that is regarded as the debut movie of Sahir Ludhianvi as a lyricist.
I have so far discussed two songs from this movie in the past. Here is another song. This is a lovely song, which I had never heard before. This song is a “panghat” song, sung by Rafi and Geeta Dutt. The song is picturised on Nalini Jaiwant and several females shown holding “Gaagri” which is how water was fetched those days in many rural households (according to Bollywood mythology, which I take with a pinch of salt).
Music is composed by S D Burman and the music, clearly based on Bangla folk music, is wonderful to listen to.

Lyrics
panghat pe dekho
aayi milan ki belaa
laa aaa
panghat pe dekho
aayi milan ki belaa
laa aaa
thumak-thumak Raadhe chori-chori aayi
o jee jee jee jee jee jee
sakhiyon se poochhe kit chhupe hain Kanhaayi
o jee jee jee jee jee jee
haay bansi ki dhun sun sudh bisraayi
o jee jee jee jee jee jee
man huaa baawaraa nahin manaaye maane re
panaghat pe dekho
aayi milan ki belaa
laa aaa
ho o o
ho o o
roop ye kiskaa hai tere
mere man ko bhaa gayaa
mere man ko bhaa gayaa
kaun ye nainon mein mere
rang ban ke chhaa gayaa
chhaa gayaa re chhaa gayaa
koi gup-chup gup-chup gaaye
hriday mein chupke chupke chupke
dhadkan mein bastaa jaaye
re chupke chupke chupke chupke
man huaa baawraa nahin manaaye maane re
kunjan mein dekho aayi milan ki belaa
ho o o
ho o o
aaj nainon mein kisi ke
meri duniyaa kho gayi
meri duniyaa kho gayi
ho gayaa meraa koi
aur main kisi ki ho gayi
ho gayi re ho gayi
jhan jhanan jhanan lahraayi
paayaliyaa mori mori mori
jhan jhanan jhanan lahraayi
paayaliyaa mori mori mori
main piyaa se milne aayi re
chori chori chori chori
man huaa baawraa nahin manaaye maane re
kunjan mein dekho aayi milan ki belaa
