Ab to aa jaao
Posted on: June 17, 2011
“Raakhi” (1949) is a movie about which very little information is available online. I became aware of this movie when I came across a few songs from this movie.
Here is a song from this movie. This “calling the beloved” song is sung by Geeta Dutt. Sarshar Sailaani is the lyricist . Music is composed by Husnlal Bhagatram.
I request my knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and this song. I have not been able to get the words properly in the last paragraph. So corrections/filling in the missing words by readers with keener ears will help us fill in the gaps in the lyrics.
PS-From the details given by our extremely knowledgeable reader Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh,it appears that this song is picturised on Kamini Kaushal.
song-Ab to aa jaao (Raakhi) (1949) Singer-Geeta Dutt, Lyrics-Sarshar Sailaani, MD-Husnlal Bhagatram
Lyrics
seene mein aag aankhon mein paani liye huye
baithhi hoon dil mein daag e jawaani liye huye
nigaahon mein andhera thha
kahaan hai
ab to aa jaao
nigaahon mein andhera thha
kahaan hai
ab to aa jaao
tadap kar dil hamen tadpaa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
tumhaari raah kab tak
raat din dekha kare koi
kisi ka dam labon par aa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
kisi ka dam labon par aa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
nigaahon mein andhera chhaa rahaa hain
ab to aa jaao
bahut tadpaa chuke
tadpa chuke thukra chuke ham ko
zamaanaa bhi hamen thukraa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
zamaanaa bhi hamen thukraa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
nigaahon mein andhera chhaa rahaa hain
ab to aa jaao
tumhaari ?? pe
aankhon mein
mari (?) begam jahaan se jaa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
mari(?) begam jahaan se jaa rahaa hai
ab to aa jaao
nigaahon mein andhera chhaa rahaa hain
ab to aa jaao

Truly remarkable.

Arun sir,
it is astonishing to see that you have so much of knowledge about old films,actors,singers etc.I wonder how you must have gathered such vast information !
While reading your notes,I go into a trance and relive those days.
Thank you,sir.

Atul ji,
RAKHI,produced by Prakash Pictures and Directed by Dr.Shanti kumar,famous in that era for tear jerkers(like AANSOO,for example),had music by Husn/Bhagatram.The story,dialogues and screenplay was by Shams Lucknowi.
The cast was Karan Diwan,Kamini Kaushal,Pran,Ulhas,Gope,Kuldeep,Yashodhara,Urvashi,Raj Adeeb(younger brother of Prem Adeeb),Urvashi etc.etc.
Shankar(Pran) is the brother of Kamini and is a vagabond.Because of him ,the sister suffers quite a lot,but ties a Rakhi always.Shankar is arrested for fraud and is in Police custoy,when Karan Diwan -his sister’s husband is accused of Murder,which he has not done.Knowing this,Shankar runs away from lock up to get the real culprit and when he does,he is shot and dies in the arms of sister Kamini-who ties a Rakhi on his wrist as it is the Rakhi Poonam that day.Highly melodramatic indeed !
