Saara mora kajraa chhudaaya toone
Posted on: January 19, 2012
Today (19 january) is the date of birth of Kaifi Azmi. To many music lovers of younger generations, he may be a lesser known name, and even to me, he was a “boring” lyricist when I was growing up. Having grown up (hopefully) 🙂 I have come to appreciate Kaifi Azmi better. We have over one hundred Kaifi Azmi songs in this blog and that speaks volumes about the fact that Kaifi Azmi was one of the major contributors in making the Golden era of Hindi movie music what it was, viz a memorable era for music lovers.
On the occasion of Kaifi Azmi’s birthday, here is a duet from “Do Dil” (1965). This song is sung by Aarti Mukherji and Rafi. The song is picturised on Rajshree and Vishwajeet. Kaifi Azmi’s lyrics have been set to tune by Hemant Kumar.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

saraa moraa kajraa

toone pyaas jagaa di
nayee aag lagaa di
meraa ang ang jalaa jaaye
o sajni
sukh rajni
zaraa nain mila le

sukh rajni
ye phizaa bhi sharaabi
ye hawa bhi sharaabi
tujhe choom choom idhar aaye
mujhe door kahin liye jaaye
saraa moraa kajraa chhudaayaa toone
garwaa se kaise lagaayaa toone

teekha teekha kajraa lagaayaa toone
kaahe ko jaadoo jagaayaa toone
o sajni
sukh rajni
o rasiyaa
manbasiyaa
o sajni
sukh rajni
o rasiyaa

Atul ji,
DO DIL-1965 was a Uttam chitra film,directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
The dying king announces that the son of his banished daughter(because she had married a commoner) may be traced and made the kinf.If not,then his nephew Pratap singh(Pran) may be made the king.
Unfortunately for Pratap singh,the real claimant,Man singh(Biswajit),who was raised by an ordinary citizen, is discovered and the Raanima(Durga Khote) starts training man sing in the Roayal ways.
Once Mansingh goes for hunting and falls in love with Bijlee(Rajashri),the daughter of a tribal chief who is a diehard enemy of the kingdom.
Pratap sing takes this opportunity and exposes Mansing’s love in front of Ranima.She is very angry and gives 2 alternatives to Mansingh,either leave Bijlee or leave Kingdom.
Asexpected by all the public in the theatre,Mansing chooses true love,Bijlee and starts to leave kingdom.Impressed with their true love,both Rani ma and Tribal chief(Kamal kapoor) decide to take this opportunity of a flimsy excuse to stop being enemies for life.
Obviously everybody,except Pratap singh(Pran),on the screen and in the theatre is happy(that the film ended.).

‘Do Dil’ was a mediocre movie but it had some fantastic songs. THis duet is superb. Another lovely number is ‘Pyasi hirani bandhan bhaye, koi shikari aaye re…’ sung so beautifully by Lata….

No, there are a few more movies. I can think of atleast one more ‘Biwi aur makaan’ 1966. There are many songs by Rafi sahab in this film.

Filling in the missing word with meaning…
𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻 ?? 𝗺𝘂𝗷𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝘆𝗲;
is actually
𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗮.𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝗷𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝘆𝗲;
nazaa.a written as नज़ाअ’, that is: نزاع
means throes — the pain of death

Yes Sir, the word appears to be “nazaa’a” . Trust Kaifi Azmi to use a word like this in a song like this to take the meaning to the extreme.
