Basanti phool khiley
Posted on: March 4, 2011
“Uddhaar” (1949) is an obscure movie that few people know anything about. This movie had some big names of those days in it. It had Munawwar Sultana, Dev Anand, Nirupa Roy, Bharat Bhushan etc in it.
I stumbled upon a song of this movie just a few hours ago.What a lovely song it is ! The song is sung by Lata. Only the audio is avaialble, but one can guess that the song is picturised on Munawwar Sultana.
The lyrics are in text book Hindi, the kind one studied in Hindi classes in school. And the words are so sweet to listen to.Words like “hriday”,”sooryodaya”,”patjhad” instead of the usual filmy words like “dil”,”subah”,”khizaan” makes for such a refreshing change, if you ask me. Lyricist of this song is Pt Narendra Sharma.
Vasant Desai is the music director.
This is a rare song, that deserves to be much better known among music lovers.
Song-Basanti phool khile (Uddhar) (1949) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Pt Narendra Sharma, MD-Vasant Desai
Lyrics
basanti phool khile
basanti phool khile
basanti phool khile
patjhad ke gaye din beet
patjhad ke gaye din beet
basanti phool khile
phool khile
basanti phool khile
patjhad ke gaye din beet
basanti phool khile
phool khile
dharti to wahi par baag naye
dharti to wahi par baag naye
sur-taal
sur-taal wahi par raag naye
ho ho ho ho ho
sur-taal wahi par raag naye
nayaa jeewan,
nayaa sangeet
nayaa jeewan,
nayaa sangeet
nayaa jeewan,
nayaa sangeet
basanti phool khile
phool khile
patjhad ke din gaye beet
basanti phool khile
phool khile
sab ke man ke gagan mein ushaayen hansin
nayi kirnon ki kaliyaan hriday mein basin
nayi kirnon ki kaliyaan hriday mein basin
sooryoday huaa, sarvoday huaa
sooryoday huaa, sarvoday huaa
nayi raahen bani nayi reet
nayi raahen bani nayi reet
phool khile
basanti phool khile
basanti phool khile
