“Dhoop Chhaaon” (1954), not to be confused with “Dhoop Chhaaon” (1935) was directed by S M Arza for Suhair Art Productions. The movie had Bharat Bhushan, Shyama, N. A. Ansari, Mumtaz, Krishna Kumari, Shamim Akhtar etc in it.

One song from this movie has been discussed in the past.

Here is another song from the movie. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Jaan Nisaar Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Aziz Hindi.

This is an extremely rare song which is available only with Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation. This audio is a recording of this song broadcast by SLBC.

I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

While noting down the lyrics, I have got stuck at a word. I request our readers with keener ears to tell us what word this could be that I have written down as “pahaadani”.


Song-Ab din doob gayo raaja (Dhoop Chhaaon)(1954) Singer-Shamshad Begam, Lyrics-Jaan Nisaar Akhtar, MD-Aziz Hindi

Lyrics

ab din doob gayo raaja
aa aa aa
ab din doob gayo raaja
pahaadani mein
o ji pahadani mein
ab din doob gayo
ab din doob gayo raaja
pahaadani mein
ab din doob gayo

bheegi bheegi palkan
ankhiyaan baras rahin
bheegi bheegi palkan
ankhiyaan baras rahin
kaali kaali ratiyan
naagan si das rahin
naagan si das rahin
een een een
haay raam
chhaayo andhiyaara morey jeewan mein
ho morey jeewan mein
ab din doob gayo o
ab din doob gayo raaja

nanhe nanhe taare
deepak se jal rahe
aen aen aen aen
nanhe nanhe taare
deepak se jal rahe ae
soone soone man mein armaan machal rahe
soone soone man mein armaan machal rahe
haaye raam
laagi hai aag morey tan man mein
ho morey tan man mein
ab din doob gayo o
ab din doob gayo raaja

piya torey kaaran
har dukh uthhaaye rahi
piya torey kaaran
har dukh uthhaaye rahi
gahri gahri badariya manwa pe chhaaye rahi
manwa pe chhaaye rahi
ee ee ee
haaye raam
chanda na chamka morey aangan mein
ho morey aangan mein
ab din doob gayo o
ab din doob gayo raaja
aa aa aa
ab din doob gayo raaja
pahaadani mein
ab din doob gayo

A melodious song. Heard for the first time.

I get to hear ‘pahaadan.mein’
Also ‘pahaadan’ is rhythmic with words like ‘ankhiyan’ and ‘naagan’ ‘palkan’ etc used in the lyrics.

Like

Pahaadani = mountains. The slight vowel ‘i’ at the end is the folk singing effect. You might feel the same, but not very clearly perceptible effect in other similar words.

?? = badariya
