I always feel that ‘technological advances’ have immensely benefitted all music lovers, because they have made the vast treasure of the HFM accessible for us and this vast treasure is getting enriched day by day thanks to the contributions of HFM lovers.

The song under discussion is one such song. I came across it when searching for songs of some other film. Of the many websites available on net I often visit at least two sites regularly to find old films and their songs. One of these sites is myswar.com. On another website I find this song listed under a different movie name. Later I found this song mentioned under its original title “Hamaara Watan” (1956) also.

But before that, when I searched our blog, I was surprised to find that this beautiful song was yet to be posted.

I was aware of this song for several years as it is in my collection since 1987. This song is in the album ‘Vintage Favourites’- Hemant Kumar (where he sings his own compositions)’ brought out by HMV in 1986 and I had added it to my collection on 13.03.1987.
(There is one song posted on our blog from the 1949 ‘Ek thi Ladki’ sung by Lata-Rafi which also have similar words ‘ye shokh sitaare’)

As per information available on IMDB this film ‘Hamaara Watan-1956’ was directed by Jayant Desai and its star cast includes Bina Rai, Prem Nath, Agha and others.

As per the information given with the audio cassette the film was produced by NAVKALA NIKETAN. Music of this film was composed by Hemant Kumar, and as many as three lyricists penned the lyrics for this movie viz. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, S.H.Bihari and Ravi.

The song under discussion today is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Hemant Kumar and its lyricist is Ravi.
Music is composed by Hemant Kumar.

I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the movie and its songs.

And, let us enjoy this beautiful song with debut of this movie on our blog! (Yes, this one also comes under ‘how come this song was not posted earlier’…)


Song-Ye shokh sitaare karte hain ishaare (Hamaara Watan)(1956) Singers-Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Ravi, MD-Hemant Kumar

Lyrics

Ye shokh sitaare karte hain ishaare
Aa baith ke do chaar ghadi pyaar karen
Ye raat jawaan hai rangeen samaa hai
Aise mein sanam pyaar ka ikraar karen

Leke ik rang naya aayi hai
Ulfat ki ghadi

Raat hai ban ke mere saamne
Dulhan si khadi
Kasam tumhaari jo
Ham pyaar se inkaar karen ae

Aa baith ke do chaar ghadi pyaar karen
Ye shokh sitaare karten hain ishaare
Aa baith ke do chaar ghadi pyaar karen
Ye raat jawaan hai
rangeen samaa hai
Aise mein sanam pyaar ka ikraar karen

Saaj e dil chhed ke ulfat ke taraane gaayen
Kya hi achchha ho jo
Din raat bade ho jaayen

Isi tarah se chaman pyaar ka gulzaar karen aen
Aa baith ke do chaar ghadi pyaar karen

Ye shokh sitaare
Hmm hmm hmm
Karten hain ishaare
Hmm hmm hmm
Aa baith ke do chaar ghadi pyaar karen
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Ye raat jawaan hai

Hmm hmm hmm
Rangeen samaa hai
Hmm hmm hmm
Aise mein sanam pyaar ka ikraar karen
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Devnagari Script lyrics
————————————

ये शोख सितारे
करतें हैं इशारे
आ बैठ के दो चार घडी प्यार करें
ये रात जवान हैं
रंगीन समा हैं
ऐसे में सनम प्यार का इकरार करें

लेके एक रंग नया आई हैं
उल्फत की घडी

रात है बन के मेरे सामने
दुल्हन सी खड़ी
कसम तुम्हारी जो हम
प्यार से इनकार करें

आ बैठ के दो चार घडी प्यारे करें
ये शोख सितारे
करतें हैं इशारे
आ बैठ के दो चार घडी प्यार करें
ये रात जवान हैं
रंगीन समा है
ऐसे में सनम प्यार का इकरार करें

साज इ दिल छेड़ के
उल्फत के तराने गाये
क्या ही अच्छा हो जो
दिन रात बड़े हो जाएँ

इसी तरह से चमन
प्यारे का गुलज़ार करें
आ बैठ के दो चार घडी प्यार करें

ये शोख सितारे
हं हं हं
करतें हैं इशारे
हं हं हं
आ बैठ के दो चार घडी प्यार करें
हं हं हं हं हं
ये रात जवान हैं

हं हं हं
रंगीन समा हैं
हं हं हं
ऐसे में सनम प्यार का इकरार करें
हं हं हं हं हं

Hemantda has that effect of singing dreamy songs transporting you to the ether world and at times lulls you to a deep slumber.
There are many such duets of his >
kaha le chale ho
yeh raat yeh chandani
halke halke chalo sanware
aa neele gagan tale
lehro pe lehar
and what have you.
