Bheegee bheegee palken hain
Posted on: August 21, 2011
“Bela” (1947) is a by now obscure movie. This movie had actors like Nigar, Jairaj, S N Tripathi (same as the music director), Krishna Kumari,B R Sharma (same person who was a lyricist as well) etc in it. Others are rather unknown names for me.
The songs of this movie are equally, if not more, obscure. The songs of this movie are not available in YT, to the best of my knowledge.
Here is this extremely rare song from “Bela” (1947). This song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewaali. This melancholic song is written by D N Madhok. Music is composed by Bulo C Rani.
Only the audio of this song seems to be available and one cannot say with certaincy how and on whom this song is picturised. But one can guess that this song was perhaps picturised on Nigar Sultana.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and on the picturisation of this song.
PS-Thanks to the information provided by Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, now I am much more informed about this movie.
Song-Bheegi bheegi palkein hain (Bela) (1947) Singer-Zohrabai Ambalewali, Lyrics-D N Madhok, MD-Bulo C Rani
Lyrics
aaa aaa
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
aur dil mein yaad tumhaari hai
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
aur dil mein yaad tumhaari hai
is pe bhi o bedardi
pyaar ki baazi haari hai
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
tumhen chaahaa
ye kyaa kiyaa maine
tumhen chaahaa
ye kyaa kiyaa maine
ho dukh zamaane kaa
le liyaa maine
ho dukh zamaane kaa
le liyaa maine
kabhi dushman ki bhi na ho
jo haalat aaj hamaari hai
kabhi dushman ki bhi na ho
jo haalat aaj hamaari hai
is pe bhi o bedardi
haay pyaar ki baazi haari hai
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
arre o chaand baadlon mein jaa
arre o chaand baadlon mein jaa
ki meraa chaand bhi hai chhip gayaa
ki meraa chaand bhi hai chhip gayaa
ujaalaa kyun rahe jahaan mein
meri to ujdi duniyaa saari hai
ujaalaa kyun rahe jahaan mein
meri to ujdi duniyaa saari hai
is pe bhi o bedardi
pyaar ki baazi haari hai
bheegee-bheegee palken hain
bheegee-bheegee palken hain

Thanks for this information, which is not available elsewhere on internet. Is the actor B R Sharma working in this movie the same as the lyricist Butaram Sharma ?

Yes.
Balak Ram Sharma also wrote lyrics for Jogan,Chunariya,Bedardi,Bairam Khan and many more films.
He is the same.
One interesting thing to be noted here is that in the early days of Indian Cinema,i.e.in 30s to 50s many aspirants wanting to make careers in cinema used to come to the Mayanagari,Bombay,Calcutta or Lahore.In the hope of making it some day in their chosen field,till that time these aspirants used to do any job in the cinema world,like acting,camera work,song writing etc to survive .In this way some of the more successful artists have done their apprenticeship in various other departmants ,as we know.Hence there is no wonder if some artist features in some unrelated departments.
