Small treasures, rare treasures. The non film songs of Kamal Barot are not very many, and by my awareness, the number of songs she recorded outside of films might be less than twenty. And the number of such songs available, would even be lesser.
Here is one more wonderful offering by her, the third one to be represented on this blog. Another one, for which I do not have any information other than the singer. It may have been recorded sometime in the 1960s.
A lovely song, that you are bound to like. A song of a lonely heart that is awaiting the return of the beloved, waiting almost a lifetime. . . a lifetime of regret, waiting for the companion.
saawan aaya, barkhaa aayee
aaye na mere saathi
yaad mein saari umr bitaayi
aaye na mere saathi
The season of monsoon is here
Bringing rains with it
And I still await
The return of my companion
A lifetime seems to have passed
Thinking and remembering
And I still await
The return of my companion
baagon mein dhoonda, bahaaron mein dhoonda
dhoonda main ne jag saara
taaron mein dekha, nazaaron mein dekha
na aaya nazar meet pyaara
armaanon ki sej sajaayi
aaye na mere saathi
When the spring is here
I have searched
The flowers, the gardens
Oh, I have searched
Across the earth
I tried seeking amongst the stars
And the valleys and vistas
But did not catch even a glimpse
Ah, my garden of hopes
Cherished and nurtured
But I still await
The return of my companion
har pardesi laut ke aaya, laut ke aaya mausam
kyaa kaaran hai, kyun nahin laute
mere ghar mere preetam
preet mein meri kya kami paayi
aaye na mere saathi
All the travelers of foreign lands returned
And the seasons reverted
Many times over
Oh what may be the reason
That my beloved
Has not returned home
Woe is me
That my affections, my devotions
Still lack something
And I still await
The return of my companion
Song-Ho o saawan aaya (Kamal Barot NFS)(1960) Singer-Kamal Barot
Lyrics
ho o o saawan aaya aa
ho o o saawan aaya
barkhaa aayee
aaye na mere saathi
yaad mein saari umra bitaayi
aaye na mere saathi
ho o o saawan aaya aa
baagon mein dhoondha
bahaaron mein dhoondha
dhoondha main ne jag saara
taaron mein dekha
nazaaron mein dekha
na aaya nazar meet pyaara
armaanon ki sej sajaayi
aaye na mere saathi
hooo saawan aaya
barkhaa aayee
aaye na mere saathi
yaad mein saari umr bitaayi
aaye na mere saathi
ho o o saawan aaya aa
har pardesi
laut ke aaya
laut ke aaya mausam
kyaa kaaran hai
kyun nahin laute
mere ghar mere preetam
preet mein meri
kya kami paayi
aaye na mere saathi
hooo saawan aaya
barkhaa aayee
aaye na mere saathi
yaad mein saari umr bitaayi
aaye na mere saathi
ho o o saawan aaya

होss सावन आया
होss सावन आया
बरखा आई
आए न मेरे साथी
याद में सारी उम्र बिताई
आए न मेरे साथी
होss सावन आया
बागों में ढूंढा
बहारों में ढूंढा
ढूंढा मैं ने जग सारा
तारों में देखा
नज़ारों में देखा
ना आया नज़र मीत प्यारा
अरमानों की सेज सजाई
आए न मेरे साथी
होss सावन आया
बरखा आई
आए न मेरे साथी
याद में सारी उम्र बिताई
आए न मेरे साथी
होss सावन आया
हर परदेसी
लौट के आया
लौट के आया मौसम
क्या कारण है
क्यों नहीं लौटे
मेरे घर मेरे प्रीतम
प्रीत में मेरी
क्या कमी पायी
आए न मेरे साथी
होss सावन आया
बरखा आई
आए न मेरे साथी
याद में सारी उम्र बिताई
आए न मेरे साथी
होss सावन आया
