“Putli”(1950) was produced and directed by Wali Sahab for Punjab Film Corporation, Bombay. The movie had Mumtaz Shanti ,Pran, Yaqoob, Husn Banu, Srinath, Majnu, Prem Dhawan, Ramesh Thakur , Sheela Naik etc in it.
The movie had eleven songs in it. One song from the movie has been covered in the past.
Today (23 november 2017) is the 87th birth anniversary of Geeta Dutt (23 november 1930 – 20 july 1972). On this occasion, here is a song from “Putli”(1950). HFGK is silent about the singer of this song, but listening to this song, one can clearly identify the voice as that of a young Geeta Roy as she was then known. The song is picturised on Mumtaz Shanti. Wali Sahab is the lyricist.
The movie had two music directors, viz Ghulam Haider and Aziz Hindi. This song was apparently the only song in the movie that was composed by Ghulam Haider as I gather from a comment on YT. I hope the commenter is correct about this fact.
The audio version, though clearer, is shorter in length. The video is longer but the audio quality is not all that great. One cannot have the best of both worlds in this case, I hope. Nevertheless, the fact that this rare song is available in audio as well as video form is something for us to rejoice about.
The picturisation shows a sapera playing a ben infront of a Nagin who then gets transformed to a lady (Mumtaz Shanti) who then sings this song. So we have “Naagin” like situations in Hindi movies even in pre “Naagin””(1954) days. 🙂
So, on the occasion of Geeta Dutt’s birth anniversary, here is this rare song from “Putli”(1950) as a tribute to her.

Lyrics
teri lagan
teri lagan tadpaaye
ho o
teri lagan tadpaaye
chain nahin aaye
jiya bal khaaye
ho o
teri lagan tadpaaye
chain nahin aaye
jiya bal khaaye
ho o teri lagan
mere saanson ke raag
meri aahon ki aag
ho meri
ho meri
ho meri aahon ki aag
mere saanson ke raag
meri aahon ki aag
piya thandak pahunchaaye sajan
tan man jalaaye sajan
tan man jalaaye
teri lagan tadpaaye
ho o
teri lagan tadpaaye
chain nahin aaye
jiya bal khaaye
ho o
teri lagan
teri pyaari pyaari pree ee eet
teri pyaari pyaari preet
meri haar teri jeet
meri haar teri jeet
piya ik din hansaaye sajan
ik din rulaaye sajan
ik din rulaye
teri lagan tadpaaye
ho o
teri lagan tadpaye
chain nahin aaye
jiya bal khaaye
ho o teri lagan
phoolon ki godi mein bhanwron ka jhoomna
aa aa aa
phoolon ki godi mein bhanwron ka jhoomna
deepak ki jyoti patangon ka choomna
aa aa aa
deepak ki jyoti patangon ka choomna
piya jeena sikhaaye sajan
marna sikhaaye
teri kasam
teri lagan tadpaaye
ho o
teri lagan tadpaaye
chain nahin aaye
