SHAGOOFAA (1953) was produced by P N Films and Premnath and Bina Rai were lead actors in it. One song has already been discussed. Despite having some melodious songs, the film failed miserably and with that its songs were forgotten.
I had come across a couple of melodious songs from this film a few months back and one of them is ‘ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar. This song was written by Rajinder Krishan and C Ramchandra was the music director. The first thing that came to my mind after listening to this song was that its tune was familiar to me. It did not take much time to realise that there was a marked similarity between this song and the tune of a very popular song “tere pyaar ka aasraa chaahtaa hoon” from DHOOL KA PHOOL (1959). Even the orchestration during the interlude has some similarity.
Only the audio clip is available of this song but one can guess that the song may have been picturised on Bina Rai.
Song-Ghir ghir aayi kaari badariya (Shagoofa)(1953) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
der lagaayi meri yaad na aayi
ghar aajaa aajaa
ghar aajaa,
saanwariyaa
ghir ghir aayi
darash binaa meri ankhiyaan pyaasi
nis din baat takey teri daasi
chhaayi hai udaasi pyaas bujhaa jaa aajaa
chaaayi hai udaasi pyaas bujhaa jaa
tohe dhoondey nazariyaa
aajaa ghar aajaa saanwariyaa
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
der lagaayi meri yaad na aayi
ghar aajaa
aajaa ghar aajaa saanwariyaa
aajaa ghar aajaa
ghir ghir aayi
beetat naahin din jiyaa nahin laage
ankhiyon se nindiya door door bhaage
binati karoon main darash dikhaa jaa aajaa
binati karoon main darash dikhaa jaa
le le meri khabariyaa aajaa,
aajaa ghar aajaa saanwariyaa
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
ghir ghir aayi kaari badariyaa
der lagaayi meri yaad na aayi
ghar aajaa,
aajaa
ghar aajaa,
saanwariyaa
ghir ghir aayi

C. Ramchandra aka Chitalkar aka Annasaheb aka Ram Chitalkar aka Shyamoo..,his composition style was very typical based on existing melody.

Indeed the similarity is there. But as Dhool Ka Phool came 6 years later, Ghi ghir has to be the original and inspired the creation of
Tere pyar ka was
