Saawan ke baadalon unse ye jaa kaho
Posted on: February 10, 2012
“Rattan” (1944) was a movie whose songs were based on folk music instead of classical music as was the norm those days. That helped ordinary folks to identify with and connect with the music of this music. The result was unprecedented. The producer of this movie earned more money through the music rights than through the screening of the movie.
It was Naushad who brought about this paradigm shift in perception of music directors. What fantastic songs this movie had ! I have so far discussed seven songs from this movie and it includes such timeless classics as Ankhiyaan mila ke jiya bharmaa ke chale nahin jaanaa , Jab tumhi chale pardes , O jaane waale baalamwaa laut ke aa laut ke aa etc. These songs can still cast a magical spell over music lovers of later generations, so one can only imagine what spell this music must have cast over music lovers during its time.
Here is another song from this movie. This song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewaali and Karan Dewan and it is picturised on Swarnlata and Karan Dewan. D N Madhok is the lyricist.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Atif M.

Lyrics(Provided by Atif M)
saawan ke baadalon
un se ye ja kaho
saawan ke baadalon
un se ye ja kaho
taqdeer mein yeh hi tha
saajan mere na ro
saawan ke baadalon
ghanghor ghataaon
mat jhoom ke aao
ghanghor ghataaon
mat jhoom ke aao
yaad un ki sataayegi
tum tum yahaan na ho
saawan ke baadalon
jis din se juda hum hain
aankhen meri pur-nam hain
aankhen meri pur-nam hain
jis din se juda hum hain
aankhen meri pur-nam hain
aankhen meri pur-nam hain
ro ro ke main mar jaaun
dukh teri bala ko
saawan ke baadalon
chhedo na hamein aa ke
barso kahin aur ja ke
barso kahin aur ja ke
chhedo na hamein aa ke
barso kahin aur ja ke
barso kahin aur ja ke
woh din na rahe apne
raaten na rahin woh
saawan ke baadalon
saawan ke baadalon
un se ye ja kaho

A classic for me for as long as I have lived, which is 79 years. One line has me stumped: what is intended in the line “tum tum yahan na ho…”? I have always felt the line is “…ghum soom yahan na ro…” meaning he tells the badal “chup ke chup ke mat ro”. Please clarify. Thanks.

I remember Naushad mentioning in the interview that this was the song that was played by the band at his wedding. But nobody knew he was the composer 🙂
