Raat phaagun ki chaand poonam ka
Posted on: March 6, 2012
“Bhai Sahab” (1954) is a movie I know well from my days of listening to “Puraani Filmon ke geet” on Radio Ceylon. The songs of this movie sounded like they were sung by K L Saigal but in reality they were sung by C H Atma, a K L Saigal devotee. The most well known song from this movie, viz Nazar ne keh diya afsaana mere pyaar ka has already been discussed in the blog.
Here is another song from the movie. This song is also sung by C H Atma. Shailendra is the lyricist and Ninu Majumdar is the music director.
C H Atma in fact was the hero of this movie as well and so this song was picturised on himself.
Song-Raat phagun ki chaand poonam ka (Bhai Sahab)(1954) Singer-C H Atma, Lyrics-Shailendra,MD-Ninu Majmdar
Lyrics
raat phaagun ki
chaand poonam ka
ae neend
sheetal aa
hai badi mushkil se
soyi birhan
piyaa ki yaad mein jaag
aadhi raat khul gayi palak
sakhi kaun aaya
chaunk chamak kaamini utthh baithhi
kaun aaya
ye sach hai ya
koi sapna
mohe neend se aan jagaaya
mukh se na boley
ankhiyan muskaaye
saanwariya man bhaaya re
kaun aaya
chaunk chamak kaamini utthh baithhi
kaun aaya
tod gagan ke taare laaun
in taaron ka haar banaaun
jab maala pehnaaun piyaa ko
khud maala ban jaaun
pulak uthhe meri kaaya re
kaun aaya
chaunk chamak kaamini utthh baithhi
kaun aaya
koi chaand se keh de
na jaa re na jaa re
aayi raat milan ki
naa dir dir dir
dir dir tuna di
na dir dir tuna
dir dir tuna di
hoke rahoongi main to apne piya ki
na dir dir tuna
dir dir tuna di
na dir dir tuna
dir dir tuna di
