Nagri nagri dwaare dwaare dhoondhoon re saanwariyaa

The song under discussion is a classic example of a song that I thought had already been discussed in the blog long time ago, but I was wrong. This is a song whose lyrics are well known to all, including me, and this song is quite well known to all, even if there may be people like me who are vague about the details of this song.
I have seen “Mother India” (1957) from which this song belongs, but I did not recall all the songs from the movie despite having watched this movie in a movie hall in late 1970s.
This song is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Nargis and two kids who play her sons in the movie. Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Khyati Bhatt.

Lyrics(Provided by Khyati Bhatt)
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
piya piya rat ke main to
ho gayi re bawariya
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
bedardi baalam ne mohe
phoonka gham ki aag mein
phoonka gham ki aag mein
birhaa ki chingaari bhar di
dukhiya ke suhaag mein
dukhiya ke suhaag mein
pal pal manva roye chhalke
nainon ki gagariya
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
aayi thhi ankhiyon mein lekar
sapne kya kya pyaar ke
sapne kya kya pyaar ke
jaati hoon do ansoo lekar
ashaayein sab haar ke
ashaayein sab haar ke
duniya ke mele mein lut gayi
jeewan ki gathariya
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
darshan ke do bhookhe naina
jeewan bhar naa soyenge
jeevan bhar naa soyenge
bichhade sajan tumhre karan
raaton ko hum royenge
raaton ko hum royenge
ab naa jaane rama kaise
beetegi umariya
nagri nagri dwaare dwaare
dhoondhoon re saanwariya
piya piya rat ke main to
ho gayi re baawariya

Shekharji,
Yes. The song is Duniya mein hum aaye hain to…… and one of my favorite too. When my sister and I were very young, my mother used to sing that song (preparing us to face any “mushkeli” in life). I will mail the lyrics to Atulji.
