Panghat pe ek chhabeeli
Posted on: March 5, 2012
Here is an obscure song from an obscure movie. I am quite sceptical about the details provided in YT with the song. The movie is called “Main Hari”. What does it mean ? Perhaps the title is something more meaningful than that.
According to the YT details, this movie is produced by Minerva and directed by Jageerdar. Starcast include names like Navin Yagnik, Naseem, Maya Devi, Hari Shivdasani, Ghulam Hussain etc.
This song is sung by Khan Mastana and music is composed by Meer Sahab. There is no mention of the lyricist of this song. Later, I came to know from another source that Kamal Amrohi is the lyricist.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs, including the lyricist (s).
Here is this nice panghat song from this obscure movie from 1940.
PS-Now Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our inhouse expert, has solved the riddle for us. The title of the movie was “Main Haari” (My Defeat), which now makes perfect sense.
Song-Panghat pe ek chhabeeli (Main Hari)(1940) Singer-Khan Mastana, Lyrics-Kamal Amrohi, MD-Meer Sahab
Lyrics
ho ho ho ho ho
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
paani bharan ko aayi
paani bharan ko aayi
arre rama aayi
paani bharan ko aayi
paani bharan ko aayi
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
paaon mein daale jhaanjhar
paaon mein daale jhaanjhar
karti jee chanchaaachan
karti jee chanchaaachan
halchal se ek machaati
halchal se ek machaati
sansaar ko nachaati
sansaar ko nachaati
paani bharan ko aayi
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
chota sa keel haaye
chota sa keel haaye
bojhal gagar uthhaaye
bojhal gagar uthhaaye
phoolon ki daal jaise
phoolon ki daal jaise
arre rama
phoolon ki daal jaise
arre rama
phoolon ki daal jaise
parbat uthha ke laayi
parbat uthha ke laayi
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
panghat pe ek chhabeeli
paani bharan ko aayi
paani bharan ko aayee
panghat pe
