Badi der se megha barsaa

Namkeen (1982) is the story of an old woman (Waheeda Rehman) and her three daughters (Sharmila Tagore, Shabana Azmi and Kiran Vairale), into which the truck driver Gherulal (Sanjeev Kumar) crashes in. This is a flashback song. The old woman recollects her days as a courtesan, and the times when she was in love with her daughters’ father.
I think this must be Waheeda Rehman’s last proper solo dance sequence in films. Of course she danced in the parody song of Lamhe and saans gali dewe in Delhi 6, but it was only in bits of those songs. Here her dance is song-filling!
This mujra is supposed to be based on Raga Manj Khamaj.

Lyrics
badi der se
badi der se
meghaa barsaa ho raamaa
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa ho raamaa
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa
is pehloon jhulsi
to us pehloon soyi
is pehloon jhulsi
to us pehloon soyi
saari raat sulgi main
aayaa naa koi
haan baithi rahi rakh ke
hatheli pe do ankhiyaan
baithi rahi rakh ke
hatheli pe do ankhiyaan
jali kitni ratiyaan aan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa ho raamaa
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa
ho raama
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa
thodaa saa tej kabhi
thodaa saa halkaa
thodaa saa tej kabhi
thodaa saa halkaa
rokaa naa jaaye mui
ankhiyon kaa tapkaa
jaagi rahi le ke
hatheli pe bheegi ladiyaan
aa aa
jaagi rahi le ke
hatheli pe bheegi ladiyaan
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa ho raamaa
badi der se
jali kitni ratiyaan
badi der se
meghaa barsaa
