Nightingale Noorjehan – 6
—————————-
When you listen to this song from the 1946 Film ‘Dil’, you can actually feel the pain of a daughter, who is somehow separated from her dear father. I can offhand remember a similar feeling song from 1968 film ‘Aashirwad’ by Lata-ji, ‘Ek tha bachpan……’
Atul-ji has created a detailed ‘Category list’ on the RHS of the posted songs on ‘Atulsongaday’, but I could not find this ‘Daughter-Father’ category.
Poet ‘Arsh’ has written the lyrics in very simple words, which OUR Noorjehan (till partition), sings with characteristic pathos. MD Zafar Khursheed deserves credit equally.
Now, I have two ‘happy’ songs ready after this melancholy song from the 1946 film ‘Dil’, and if friends do not help me to find the song ‘Bhanwara shor na karna….’ I will have to jump to the next film of 1945 ‘Bhaijaan’, as from the other film of 1946 ‘Anmol Ghadi’, all Noorjehan songs are covered in this blog.
Noorjehan weeps with ‘khoon ke aansoo…,(meaning ‘ tears of blood’), but we can at least wet our eyes in her sympathy while listening to the song.
Song–Baba Mere Chhoot Gaye Chain Mujhe Nahin Aaye (Dil)(1946) Singer-Noorjehaan, Lyrics- Raziuddin, MD- Zafar Khursheed
Lyrics
baba mere chhoot gaye
chain mujhe nahin aaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye
shaam o sahar
aathon pahar
shaam o sahar
aathon pahar
baithi hoon aas lagaaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye
sooraj dariya se mil jaaye
sooraj dariya se mil jaaye
apna basera duniya paaye
apna basera duniya paaye
mere baaba kyun nahin aaye
shaam o sahar
aathon pahar
baithi hoon aas lagaaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye
mujhko naseehat yaad aati hai ae
mujhko naseehat yaad aati hai
baap ki chaahat tadpaati hai
khoon ke aansoo rulvaati hai
khoon ke aansoo rulvaati hai
shaam o sahar
aathon pahar
baithi hoon aas lagaaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye ae ae
chain mujhe nahin aaye
nahin aaye
nahin aaye
nahin aaye
