Matwaala jiyaa doley piyaa
Posted on: December 26, 2012
“Mother India” (1957) was a movie that was released before I was born. So this movie is from an era before my time. I first watched this movie in late 1970s in its nth re run in a dilapidated movie hall. Moreover I was not much into old movies in those days and I went to watch this movie so that I may be able to say that I had seen this movie. 🙂
Though I judhe a movie by its songs, but ironically enough I do not remember too many songs from this movie. I was under the impression that the movie had only 4 or 5 songs in it. So it comes as a big surprise for me to realise that this movie had as many as twelve songs in it ! It hardly appeared that way to me when I watched the movie in late 1970s.
As many as eight of these songs have been discussed in the pasy. Here is the ninth song from the movie. This song is sung by Lata, Rafi and chrus. It is picturised on Nargis, Raj Kumar and others who sing this joyous song as a celebration for their harvesting season. So Rajkumar gets to lip sync at least two songfs in this movie ! I did not realose that he lasted long enough in the movie to figure in quite a few songs. I thought that he dies quite early in the movie, but I was obviously wrong.
Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

matwaala jiya
dole piya
jhoome ghata
chhaaye re baadal
karna hai to kar pyaar
na dar
beeti umar aayegi na kal
arre paagal
arre paagal
matwaala jiya dole piya
jhoome ghata
chhaaye re baadal
karna hai to kar pyaar
na dar
beeti umar aayegi na kal
arre paagal
arre paagal
matwaala jiya
haay re jiya
ho o o
armaan bhara dil hai balam tere hawaale
tu apna bana le
arre tu apna bana le
armaan bhara dil hai balam tere hawaale
arre tu apna bana le
saawan hai jawaani pe
lagi dil ki bujhaa le
hans le zara gaa le
arre hans le zara gaa le
saawan hai jawaani pe
lagi dil ki bujhaa le
arre hans le zara gaa le
naache mera man aaj sajan
chhan chhannan bole re paayal
naache mera man aaj sajan
chhan chhannan bole re paayal
karna hai to kar pyaar
na dar
beeti umar aayegi na kal
arre paagal
arre paagal
matwaala jiya
haaye re jiya
ho o o
dil tera deewaana
meri ankhiyaan bhi deewaani
kuchh de de nishaani
arre kuchh de de nishaani
dil tera deewaana
meri ankhiyaan bhi deewaani
arre kuchh de de nishaani
duniya ke maze loot le
jeevan hai kahaani
do din hai jawaani
arre do din hai jawaani
duniya ke maze loot le
jeevan hai kahaani
arre do din hai jawaani
duniya hai badi jadu bhari
meri gali saath mere chal
duniya hai badi jadu bhari
meri gali saath mere chal
karna hai to kar pyaar
na dar
beeti umar aayegi na kal
arre paagal
arre paagal
matwaala jiya dole piya( ho o o)
jhoome ghata chhaaye re baadal
karna hai to kar pyaar(ho o o o)
na dar beeti umar aayegi na kal
arre paagal
arre paagal
matwaala jiyaa
haay re jiyaa

Did you cry seeing the movies. I cry copiously whenever I see the movie. That could be more than 15 times.

Yes, very often, i get involved in every movie and if particularly this type of movies.
For comedy movies i laugh so loud and openly, and there are tears of joy then … so cyring is always there, and it still continued and will be there ..

Atulji,
This was during the young phase. I think later he just walks off not to return again.
