Mera jala raat bhar diyaa
Posted on: April 22, 2012
“Chamak Chaandni” (1957) is not a movie too many people may be aware of. This obscure movie was a Chitra Bharati Limited production. It was produced by Chimanlal Trivedi and directed by Mani Bhai Vyas. The starcast reads like a B grade movies who is who, viz. Mahipal, Shakila, Tiwari, Chandrashekhar,Maruti, Niranjan Sharma, Helen, Purnima etc.
Here is a song from this movie which competes with its movie in its obscurity. Only the audio of this song is available. It is sung by Sudha Malhotra. The song does not sound like one belonging to a B grade movie, and that should come as no surprise because B grade movies used to have A grade music in them as we have noted several times in the past.
This forgotten gem is written by Qamar Jalalabadi and its music is composed by Sardar Malik. One can only guess about its picturisation, This song could have been picturised on Shakila or Purnima. I request our knowlewdgeable readers to throw more light on this movie as well as on this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Lyrics(Provided by Prakashchandra)
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
na aaye piyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
na aaye piyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
raat kissi ki
sog kissi ke
raat kissi ki
sog kissi ke
mujh birhan ki
baat ye kaisi
soke beete na roke beete
soke beete na roke beete
mujhe piyaa se na milne diya
tod diyaa jiyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa aaa
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
na aaye piyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa aaaa
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
neel gagan pe
jitne taare
utne dil mein
zakhm hamaare
woh bhi thhey din
bhooloon kaise
jo sitam ke sang guzaare
jo sitam ke sang guzaare
wahaan jalaa
raat bhar diyaa
jalaa yahaan jiyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa aaa
mera jalaaa… raat bhar deeyaa
na aaye piyaa
o duniyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa aaa aaa
mera jalaa raat bhar diyaa
