The signature sounds of “Morey Nain Baawre, Chham Chham Neer Bahaayen” (‘Sabak’, 1950) and “Badnaam Naa Ho Jaaye Mohabbat Ka Fasaana”(‘Shaheed’, 1948) are now memories almost as if etched in stone. Piece of music, as if, immortalized by the voices that sang them. Quite so, for the voice is also known as the Nightingale of Punjab.
Remembering Surinder Kaur the 84th anniversary of her birth today.
A very brief stint, and comparatively speaking, a small body of work. She stayed in Bombay all of 5 years, and recorded 56 songs for 20 films. Adverse health circumstances and the advice of doctors, took the singer back home to Delhi. In this short stay even, she has rendered some of the most wonderful songs, two of which I mentioned above already.
For this post, I present this lovely solo song from the 1948 film, ‘Laal Dupatta’. The film comes from the banner of Akaash Chitra, and is directed by KB Lal. The cast of actors includes Madhubala, Sapru, Ranjeet Kumari, Ulhas, Rajan Haksar, Neelam, Bhaga Bai, Gulzar, Kesari, Pandit Iqbal, Yusuf etc. The music for the film is composed by Gyan Dutt. The twelve songs of this film are written by three poets – Manohar Khanna, DN Madhok and Munshi Shams. However, the name of the poet behind this song is not specifically known.
Listen to this wonderful song of coming of age and falling in love. There is a spring in the heart that even tells the koel bird, not to sing anymore,
the songs of waiting and yearning. And to start singing songs of meeting and happiness. A lovely song of young heart, so beautifully rendered by Surinder Kaur. Enjoy.
Song-Chanchal man kaahe dharke(Laal Dupatta)(1948) Singer-Surinder Kaur, MD-Gyan Dutt
Lyrics
chanchal mann
kaahe dharke
ruk ja ruk ja
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa
chanchal mann
kaahe dharke
ruk ja ruk ja
o zaraa tham jaa

o birhan tere geet puraane
ab na laage mohey suhaane
o birhan tere geet puraane
ab na laage suhaane
gaa ri gaa koi raag milan ka
dheere dheere
halke halke
gaa ri gaa koi raag milan ka
dheere dheere
halke halke
dheere dheere gaa aa
o zaraa thham jaa

chanchal mann
kaahe dharke
ruk ja ruk ja
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa
de gaye sandesa nainon ko nainaa
haa. . .aa. . .aan
de gaye sandesa nainon ko nainaa
dekh liya ik aisa sapna
dekha aisa sapna
chaunk uthhi meri soyi jawaani
haan. . . haan
chaunk uthhi meri soyi jawaani
raat katey kya din beetey na
raat katey na din beetey na
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa
chanchal mann
kaahe dharke
ruk ja ruk ja
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa
chhaayeen hain
chhaayeen hain oodi oodi ghataayen
oodi oodi ghataayen
khel karen bheegi bheegi hawaayen
bheegi bheegi hawaayen
o pawan kyun chhede mohey ae ae
o pawan kyun chhede mohey
mori chundariyaa dhalke dhalke
mori ri chundariyaa
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa
chanchal mann
kaahe dharke
ruk ja ruk ja
o zaraa thham jaa
thham jaa. . .aa

चंचल मन
काहे धरके
रुक जा रुक जा
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
चंचल मन
काहे धरके
रुक जा रुक जा
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
ओ बिरहन तेरे गीत पुराने
अब ना लागे मोहे सुहाने
ओ बिरहन तेरे गीत पुराने
अब ना लागे सुहाने
गा री गा कोई राग मिलन का
धीरे धीरे
हल्के हल्के
गा री गा कोई राग मिलन का
धीरे धीरे
हल्के हल्के
धीरे धीरे गा ॰ ॰ ॰
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
चंचल मन
काहे धरके
रुक जा रुक जा
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
दे गए सँदेसा नैनों को नैना
हाँ ॰ ॰ ॰
दे गए सँदेसा नैनों को नैना
देख किया इक ऐसा सपना
देखा ऐसा सपना
चौंक उठी मेरी सोयी जवानी
हाँ ॰ ॰ ॰ हाँ
चौंक उठी मेरी सोयी जवानी
रात कटे क्या दिन बीते ना
रात कटे ना दिन बीते ना
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
चंचल मन
काहे धरके
रुक जा रुक जा
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
छाईं हैं
छाईं हैं ऊदी ऊदी घटाएँ
ऊदी ऊदी घटाएँ
खेल करें भीगी भीगी हवाएँ
भीगी भीगी हवाएँ
ओ पावन क्यों छेड़े मोहे ॰ ॰ ॰
ओ पावन क्यों छेड़े मोहे
मोरी चुंदरिया ढलके ढलके
मोरी री चुंदरिया
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा
चंचल मन
काहे धरके
रुक जा रुक जा
ओ ज़रा थम जा
थम जा ॰ ॰ ॰

Nitin ji
The count of films you have listed is 17 already, by addition of last 3 listed, the number is already 20. There is yet one more film – ‘Rooprekha’ (1948) in which she has sung one group song with Munawwar Sultana and Vaidyanath Seth, under the music direction of Samar Ghosh.
So the number actually is 21. 🙂
