“Paapi”(1953) was a Ranjit Movietone movie. It had Raj Kapoor (in double role) and Nargis in lead roles. The movie is about mistaken identity of the two Raj Kapoors.
Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia had given the story of this movie while discussing a song from this movie. Here is what he had to say about the story:
In Village Rampur, lives Raju (Raj Kapoor) a young man, who is unemployed, who just loiters and who loves the local milkmaid Lachhi (Nargis). Raju tries all trades to earn money, but fails, Lachhi stays with her blind Aunt, who has mortgaged all her house and animals ,for rs. 5000,to a crook, Kalu. Now, this Kalu, as expected is after Lachhi. He demamnds his money back or Lachhi’s hand in marriage.
Lachhi tells Raju all this and they have 3 days to garner the amount. Despite all efforts, Raju can not collect the amount and finally steal Rs 5000. The police are after him. Running away from them, he boards a running train. In the train he meets a Sadhu-his look-alike. The sadhy preaches to people.
The train meets an accident. In that melee, Raju exchanges clothes with the Sadhu and escapes to next village. he starts preaching like a real sadhu and becomes famous. The real sadhu,in Raju’s clothes, is takes away by Lachhi to her home and he is hidden in stables, but the Police come and arrest him and keep him in lock up.
Lachhi realises what must have happened and meets Raju in sadhu’s garb. She fires him for doing all this. Meanwhile the police come and arrest him too and keep in the same lock up where the sadhu is kept. Raju repents and tells all the truth, promising the sadhu to reform himself.
Raju gets a light sentence and after coming out a totally reformed man.
Four songs from “Paapi”(1953) have been discussed in the past. Here is the fifth song from the movie.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and it is picturised on Nargis. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by S Mohinder.
Listening to the song makes one feel that one has heard a well known song with the same tune, and then it strikes that yes, this song has the same tune as the Rafi song “Ae duniya ke rakhwaale” from “Baiju Baawra”(1952).
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)
ae jazbaa e mohabbat
ae jazbaa e mohabbat
itna asar dikha de
jo chhup gaye nazar se
phir saamne bula de
ae jazbaa e mohabbat
sun dil ki dhadkanon ka
sun dil ki dhadkanon ka
paighaam de rahe hain
saanson ki baansuri per er
ham naam le rahe hain
ham naam le rahe hain aen
aisa na ho muqaddar
gham ki hansi uda de
itna asar dikha de ae
aye jazbaa e mohabbat
aisa dikha tamaasha
aisa dikha tamaasha
wo beqaraar aaye
thhaame huye jigar ko o
fariyaad lab pe laaye
fariyaad lab pe laaye ae
kya cheez hai mohabbat
ye baat bhi bataa de
itna asar dikha de
aye jazbaa e mohabbat
ae meri aah ja tu
ae meri aah ja tu
ik aag si laga tu
ae mere dil ke armaan aan
ja unko khench la tu
ja unko khench la tu u
tujh mein hai aisi khoobhi
patthar ka dil hilaa de
itna asar dikha de
jo chhup gaye nazar se
phir saamne bula de
ae jazbaa e mohabbat

Atul ji,
Thanks for giving us this lovely song.
You are right, the two songs have lots of similarities, especially, the opening interlude has almost the same tune.
Warm regards,
Avadh Lal
