Arre bus mein nazar takraai
Posted on: September 2, 2013
We have discussed over two thousand songs of Rafi in this blog which adds up to just over 40 % of all the songs that he has sung in Hindi movies. Many of these songs are extremely well known songs, but at the same time we have also come across some totally unheard of songs. It no longer surprises me or regulars of this blog when we come across Rafi songs that we had never heard before.
Here is a Rafi song that I had never heard before. This is a light hearted song sung by Rafi and it talks about our hero coming across a lady on bus, tram, trains etc in Bombay. Bus and trains still run in Bombay (now Mumbai) but that fact that trams too ran there in the past gets revalidated in this song.
Only the audio of this song is available. Rafi excel sheet mentions that this song, like other Rafi songs in the movie was picturised on Mehmood, the hero of this movie.
Here is this forgotten gem from “Lambe Haath” (1960) which is written by Anjaan. Music is composed by G S Kohli.
Song-Arre bus mein nazar takraai (Lambe Haath)(1960) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Anjaan, MD-G S Kohli
Lyrics
arre bus mein nazar takraai
tram mein huyi ladaayi
train mein mile teer wo chale
ho gayi dil ki safaai
haay bus mein nazar takraai
sazi bambai ki sadkon par
ye pariyon ka mela
arre sazi bambai ki sadkon par
ye pariyon ka mela
kadam kadam par nazar ki takkar
dilon ka thhelam thhela
dilon ka thhela
haay raam duhaayi
arre bus mein nazar takraai
tram mein huyi ladaayi
train mein mile teer wo chale
ho gayi dil ki safaai
haay bus mein nazar takraai
yahaan haseen lutere hanskar
beech raah mein looten
arre yahaan haseen lutere hanskar
beech raah mein looten
badon badon ka dil ye pyaare
ek nigaah mein looten
oy oy oy oy
ek nigaah mein looten
arre door raho to bhalaayi
arre bus mein nazar takraai
tram mein huyi ladaayi
train mein mile teer wo chale
ho gayi dil ki safaai
arre bus mein nazar takraai
ho ho ho ho ho
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
aa haa haa
ho ho ho ho ho
hmm hmm hmh hmm hmm
he he he
o ho ho ho ho ho
