“Saawan Aaya Re” (1949) was a Hindustan Chitra production movie. It was directed by Kishore Sahu. The movie had Kishore Sahu, Pratima Devi, Ramola, Sofia, Mohana, Gulab, Anant Prabhu, Promoth Bose, David Abraham, Ramesh Gupta etc in it.
Six songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is the seventh song from the movie.
This song is sung by Shamsgad Begam. Unlike other Shamshad Begam songs from the movie whih were picturised on Ramola, this song is picturised as a staged roadside tamasha song. It is lip synced by a female dancer whom I am unable to identify. She is also accompanied by a male harmonium player and their performance is watched by several people. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the actors.
Shamshad Begams’s singing is the star attraction of this song and her voice steals the show. Gulshan Jalalabadi’s lyrics are wonderful. Khemchand Prakash’s music is nice to listen to, as always. What a delightful song. I heard this song for the first time only just now.

Lyrics
main to chanda si
ho main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
ho main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
main to door se aankh milaaun
main to door se aankh milaaun
dekho ji koi paas bulaiyyo na
ho main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
main barbatti(??) tori
o babu bach ke rahiyo
main barbatti(??) tori
o babu bach ke rahiyo
dekh ke mera roop kahin tum
rasta bhool na jaiyyo
haan haan
rasta bhool na jaiyyo
ho ji
rasta bhool na jaiyyo
main to chanda si
haan main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
main to dil ko uda le jaaun
phir miloon ko aankh churaaun
koi pyaar sikhaane aaye
to ye keh kar tadpaaun
main to haath lagey kumhlaaun
ho ho ji
main to haath lagey kumhlaaun
dekho ji koi haath lagaiyyo na
ho main to chanda si
haan main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
main anokhi Nainitaal ki
duniya aankh bichhaaye
main anokhi Nainitaal ki
duniya aankh bichhaaaye
mera bhola bhaala mukhda
jo dekhe lut jaaye
haan haan
jo dekhe lut jaaye
ho ji
jo dekhe lut jaaye
main to chanda si
haan main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
koi chup chup kare ishaare
meri galiyon mein aake pukaare
main to ye keh ke chhup jaaun
mat aise hamen bula re
koi kar dega badnaam
o ho ji
koi kar dega badnaam
dekho ji meri galiyon mein aayiyo na
ho main to chanda si
haan main to chanda si gori naar
dekho ji koi nazar lagaiyyo na
