O meri maina sun mera kehna
Posted on: January 18, 2013
“Krorepati” (1961) was a Saigal brothers production. It was produced by Om Prakash Saigal and directed by Mohan Saigal. The movie had Kisore Kumar, Shashikala, Kum Kum, K. N. Singh, Anoop Kumar, Mirza Musharaff, Radhakishan, Haroon, S. Bannerjee, Ramlal, Shamlal, Brahm Bharadwaj, Daya Devi, Pal Sharma, Prem, Dev Chand etc in it.
Five songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is the sixth song from the movie. This song is sung by Kishore Kumar, Rafi and at least another identified male voice. Shailendra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
I am unable to understand the picturisation much in the sense that I cannot identify the actors other than Kishore Kumar. Moreover it appears to me that Kishore Kumar sings in his voice as well as in Rafi’s voice as well in this song. I request our knowledgeable readers to tell us what is going on in the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Atif M.

Lyrics (Provided by Atif M)
o meri maina
o meri maina
arey sun mera kehna
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
kya
o sun mera kehna
hun hun
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
o sun mera kehna
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
bahaaron ne chheda hai pyaar ka taraana
ha ha ha ha waah waah
bahaaron ne chheda hai pyaar ka taraana
ke ab ja ke aaya hai rang pe zamaana
qasam hai na aise mein tu rooth jaana
o o o meri maina
o meri maina
arey sun mera kehna
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
aa baadal ki galiyon se door kahin jaayen
arey kyun bhaai
aa baadal ki galiyon se door kahin jaayen
sitaaron ko dharti ka pyaar deke aayen
wahin pe mohabbat ka aashiyaan banaayen
o o o meri maina
o meri maina
arey sun mera kehna
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
suna hai sitaaron ke paar ik jahaan hai
arey bhaai suna hai
suna hai sitaaron ke paar ik jahaan hai
yahaan jo nahin hai woh sab kuchh wahaan hai
wahin teri manzil woh tera jahaan hai
o o o meri maina
o meri maina
are sun mera kehna
haathon mein haath chal mere saath
yeh chaand raat kya baat hai
o meri maina
o meri maina
arey sun mera kehna
haa
o meri maina
ud gayi maina
aaja meri maina
kahaan gayi maina

Revisited this song & post today. Very entertaining as any Kishore Kumar song would be.
Atulji has also written this in the post:- “This song is sung by Kishore Kumar, Rafi and at least another identified male voice.”
Answer (I may not be correct): The unidentified voice sounds like that of actor Radhakishen.
Atulji has also written this:- “Moreover it appears to me that Kishore Kumar sings in his voice as well as in Rafi’s voice as well in this song.”
Answer (again this is my personal feeling after hearing & seeing the song):- the last antara does sound like Rafisaab’s voice.
I loved the rhythmic clapping coinciding with Kishore Kumar’s attempt to break open something 🙂

Atul ji,
According to the actual song ,it seems Rafi’s PB is for Anup kumar.I checked the Excel list of nahm ji and found that indeed the song is picturised on Kishore and Anup.
So it goes without doubt,while KK sings for himself,Rafi sings for Anup.
