Dekho jee dekho ek baar is taraf dekho
Posted on: January 21, 2012
There are songs which people may have heard for the last time several decades ago, or perhaps they may have never heard them before. Listening to such songs are like stumbling upon a long lost acquaintance, or like meeting someone whom you should have known much earlier.
Here is just that kind of a song. This delightful song is from “Aas” (1953). It is sung by Mukesh and Lata. Only the audio of this song is available, but Atif M, who sent me the lyrics of this song, mentions that this song is picturised on Shekhar and Kamini Kaushal.
This song is written by Shailendra, Music is composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
Listening to this rare song is a wonderful experience indeed.
Song-Dekho jee dekho ek baar is taraf dekho (Aas)(1953) Singers-Mukesh, Lata, Lyrics-Shailendra,MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics(Provided by Atif M)
dekho ji dekho
ek baar is taraf dekho
ye dil bana hai sheeshe ka
patthar pe is ko mat phenko
dekho ji dekho
ek baar is taraf dekho
ye dil bana hai sheeshe ka
patthar pe is ko mat phenko
chhodo ji chhodo
aisi banaawti baatein
hum ne to aisi uljhan mein
kaati hain sainkadon raatein
chhodo ji chhodo
aisi banaawati baatein
hum ne to aisi uljhan mein
kaati hain sainkadon raatein
bahaaron ko aaye huye chaar din
bahaaron ko aaye huye chaar din
hamein dil lagaaye huye chaar din
hamein dil lagaaye huye chaar din
dekho na todo
aise suhaane sapne ko
ye dil bana hai sheeshe ka
pathhar pe is ko mat phenko
chhodo ji chhodo aisi banaavati baatein
hum ne to aisi uljhan mein
kaati hain sainkadon raatein
dua do ke yeh dil reham kar gaya
dua do ke yeh dil reham kar gaya
kaho yeh ke jaadoo asar kar gaya
kaho yeh ke jaadoo asar kar gaya
yeh jaadoo hai kis ka
maaloom nahin apne ko
ye dil bana hai sheeshe ka
patthar pe is ko mat phenko
chhodo ji chhodo
aisi banaawti baatein
hum ne to aisi uljhan mein
kaati hain sainkadon raatein

AAS-1953,was a Goel cine prodn. film,produced and directed by devendra goel who wrot the s/play also.
it was a typical tear jerker of the extreme kind,but surprisingly with excellent songs by S-J,who were in their ascending zone then.There is one more lilting duet by Talat and Lata ‘ Chahe naina churao chahe daman bachao pyar ho ke rahega’ in this film.
Ashok(Shekhar),a wealthy person has a motherless child Kishore.He gets Asha(Kamini Kaushal) as his governess.in due course they fall in love and get married.Asha loves Kishore very much.After few months,Asha is pregnant and duly she begets a son.inspite of having her own son,Asha loves Kishore more.
Ashok’s Chachi(Laxmi) and her attendant Chanda(Chandabai) hate Asha and start troubling her.They also put many allegations on her like theft,adultery etc.meanwhile Kishoe(maste Ramesh) disappears and Chachi alleges that Asha must have killed him.Asha is thrown out of the house.
Asha is very sad.Her son is sick.masterjee(Omprakash) who is Kishore’s teacher and Ashok trace kidnapped Kishore,rescue him and bring him back,but he falls seriously ill chanting only Asha’s name.Doctors warn that if Asha is not brought back,Kishore may die.Masterjee and Ashok search for Asha.her son is on death bed,but hearing about Kishore,she rushes to his bedside.In few days,Kishore gets well,but Asha’s son dies.
Ashok learns all about the black deeds of Chachi and Chanda,throws them out of the house and continues happily with Asha and Kishore.
Such a senseless story ! It did not attract even the expected womenfolk to the theatrs and despite good music the film was a resounding flop.
