“Gajre” (1948) was an Allied Arts Production movie. It was directed by R D Mathur. The movie had Motilal, Suraiya, Agha, Nihal, Sangeeta, Geeta Nizami, Sankatha Prasad, Murad etc in it.
Five songs from this movie have been discussed in the past.
Today (17 april 2014) is the 51st death anniversary of Gopal Singh Nepali (11 august 1911- 17 april 1963). Gopal Singh Nepali was a renowned poet and his poems were taught in schools. I first knew about him from my Hindi poetry text books during my school days, where his poems were part of the syllabus.
On the occasion of his death anniversary, here is the sixth song from “Gajre” (1948) to appear in the blog.
This song is sung by Lata. Gopal Singh Nepali is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only the audio of this song is available. I guess from the cast of the movie that this song was picturised on Geeta Nizami. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.
Song-Ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe (Gajre)(1948) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Gopal Singh Nepali, MD-Anil Biswas
Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)
ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe
ham ghar hi chhod chaley ae
ham ghar hi chhod chaley ae
ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe
apna thha jinhen samjha hamne
woh bhi dil todd chaley ae
ham ghar hi chhod chaley ae
ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe
socha thha sajan aayenge
aayenge bahaaren laayenge
ham ek chaman ke do panchhi ban jaayenge
ham ek chaman ke do panchhi ban jaayenge
sandhya ki bela dwaar pe aakar woh munh mod chaley ae
ham ghar hi chhod chaley ae
ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe
jeevan mein kabhi ik pyaar ka deepak jalta thha aa
milne ke liye dil ghul-ghul(?) ke machalta thha
milne ke liye dil ghul-ghul(?) ke machalta thha
jab saath patanga chhod diya aa aa
jab saath patanga chhod diya
to diya akele jaley ae
ham ghar hi chhod chaley ae
ghar yahaan basaane aaye thhe

Right Bharatbhai,
Again she is not herself. She is copying her contemporaries.

Anil-da himself had mentioned in a private baithak in Parle, that each tune is born with its own destiny. This Song got a very lukewarm acceptance compared to Lata’s ‘Kab Aaoge Baalama’ and Suraiyya’s ‘Door Papiha Bola’, from the same film. But when he used the same tune for his Tarana’s ‘Seene Mein Sulgte’ it became the topmost tune of his entire carrier.
(Interested music lovers can compare themselves this tune with ‘https://atulsongaday.me/2009/01/11/seene-me-sulagte-hai-armaan/’.)
