What an endearing song, and what a mellifluous voice. Such a wonderful gem of a song, from the first film for which Hansraj Behl composed the music. The film is ‘Pujari’ from 1946. This was the debut year for Hansraj Behl, and 3 films containing his compositions were released that year. As per records, this film is he first one for which he started composing.
‘Pujari’ is produced under the banner of Ardeshir M Irani Productions, Bombay, and is directed by Aspi. The star cast of this film includes Mumtaz Shanti, Masood, Bipin Gupta, Baby Mumtaz (Madhubala), Yashwant Dave, PD Lal, Anita Sharma, Tasneem, Mustafa etc. The film has a total of 10 songs, and the lyrics writing is shared between Wali Sahab and Pt. Indra. This particular song is penned by Wali Sahab.
Only the audio of this song is available. Looking at the star cast, it may be safe to guess that this song is picturized on Mumtaz Shanti.
Enjoy this wonderful melody in the voice of Amirbai.

Lyrics
bairan nindiyaa
kyun nahin aaye
bairan nindiyaa
kyun nahin aaye
kyun nahin aaye
kyun nahin aaye
kyun nahin aaye
kyun nahin aaye
kyun nahin nainan beech samaaye
kyun nahin nainan beech samaaye
door khadi muskaaye
door khadi muskaaye
bairan nindiyaa
kyun nahin aaye
bairan nindiyaa
kyun nahin aaye
nainan beech basey hain baalam
nainan beech basey hain baalam
nindiyaa thhor na paaye
nindiyaa thhor na paaye
naa hum kholen nayan jharokhe
naa hum kholen nayan jharokhe
naa hum nainaa milaayen
naa hum nainaa milaayen
ye nahin bas ki baat sakhi ri
ye nahin bas ki baat sakhi ri
jo man maina ban jaaye
jo man maina ban jaaye
haay re
bairan nindiya
kyun nahin aaye
bairan nindiya
kyun nahin aaye

Such a sharp and clear voice. You can’t miss any word hearing. The other voice that my husband and I admire is of Smt. Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande (one of best classical singer) When you listen to any song of hers, you won’t miss any single word. Thanks for posting Sudhirji.
