ना कजरे की धार
ना मोतियों के हार
ना कोई किया सिंगार
फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो
तुम कितनी सुन्दर हो
Yes, this song is from film ‘Mohra’ (1994). Ah but I am not bringing on the film version of the song.
This very song was earlier and originally sung by Mukesh in his inimitable voice in the sixties. The film for which he had sang never reached proper production stages. The song has since remained and gets counted amongst the many NFS that he sang. There are almost no details available about Mukesh version and hence this post will be quite short and devoid of any tables, histograms etc. 🙂
But then, I do not want to make the post too short either and so let me write something about the 1994 film which I have never seen. I am told it had a rather unexpected climax and so pondering if I should watch only the ending. 🙂
I consider myself qualified to write about the 1994 film as it is yet to make its debut on the blog which is quite surprising. There is a well-established wiki page of the movie on the net and I request interested readers to visit it for much of the details.
One of the apparent reasons as to why the song sung by Mukesh was included in the film could be probably because Viju Shah the music director of the film is the son of music director Kalyanji Virji Shah of composer duo Kalyanji Anandji. The lyric writer obviously remained Indeewar.
The film has 3-4 versions of the song sung by Pankaj Udhas and Sandhana Sargam. All these years, I was under the impression that at least the romantic version was picturised on Raveena Tandon but it does not seem to be.
And, with such poor knowledge of “new films”, I am happy I seldom venture into this rather unfamiliar territory. I am sure more knowledgeable contributors will take up the film song and write in detail about the many versions.
As usual, I reached out to Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji, the Surat based complier of Mukesh Geetkosh to see if I could get more details about the Mukesh version. He gave several leads such as searching the register where song was to be recorded, contacting any of the Kalyanji-Anandji’s orchestra team etc. He has also written to me stating that he has contacted Anandji, Indeewar, Mohnish Behl etc to get some leads but to no avail. All he remembers is the film being about Navagraha. I thank him for the continuous support and help I receive.
All these efforts of tracing the film that never took off being quite an ordeal, I decided to go ahead and represent this post on the blog. What is more important is that the complete song sung by Mukesh is available on several platforms and is a treat to listen.
Song – Na Kajre Ki Dhaar, Na Motiyon Ke Haar (NFS-Mukesh) (1960s) Singer – Mukesh, Lyrics – Indiwar, MD – Kalyanji Anandji
Lyrics (Provided by Sudhir)
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sunder ho
tum kitni sunder ho
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sunder ho
tum kitni sunder ho
tu taazgi phoolon ki
kya saadgi ka kehna
tu taazgi phoolon ki
kya saadgi ka kehna
singaar tera yauwan
yauwan hi tera gehna
teri soorat jaise moorat
main dekhoon baar baar
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sunder ho
tum kitni sunder ho
tera ang sachcha sona
muskaan sachche moti
tera ang sachcha sona
muskaan sachche moti
tere honth hain madhushala
tu roop ki hai jyoti
ude khushboo jab chale tu
boley to bajey sitaar
na kajre ki dhaar
na motiyon ke haar
na koi kiya singaar
phir bhi kitni sunder ho
tum kitni sunder ho

ना कजरे की धार
ना मोतियों के हार
ना कोई किया सिंगार
फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो
तुम कितनी सुंदर हो
ना कजरे की धार
ना मोतियों के हार
ना कोई किया सिंगार
फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो
तुम कितनी सुंदर हो
तू ताज़गी फूलों की
क्या सादगी का कहना
तू ताज़गी फूलों की
क्या सादगी का कहना
सिंगार तेरा यौवन
यौवन ही तेरा गहना
तेरी सूरत जैसे मूरत
मैं देखूँ बार बार
ना कजरे की धार
ना मोतियों के हार
ना कोई किया सिंगार
फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो
तुम कितनी सुंदर हो
तेरा अंग सच्चा सोना
मुस्कान सच्चे मोती
तेरा अंग सच्चा सोना
मुस्कान सच्चे मोती
तेरे होंठ हैं मधुशाला
तू रूप की है ज्योति
उड़े खुशबू जब चले तू
बोले तो बजे सितार
ना कजरे की धार
ना मोतियों के हार
ना कोई किया सिंगार
फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो
तुम कितनी सुंदर हो

Mahesh Ji, Nice song never heard before. I could not gather how you came to know that there is a Mukesh original for the ‘Mohra’ song. It is certainly pleasant and interesting find.Thanks

Maheshji, thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.
I didn’t even know there was a Mukesh version.
Only knew the Mohra version – which I’ve always liked.
It has a soothing aspect to it, esp considering the other songs in the movie are more chatpata.
Since I had a Mohra cassette at home, listened to its songs a lot.
The movie is also worth a watch – so if you’re looking for a 1990s film to watch, this isn’t a bad choice.

I am extremely sorry maheshji to have missed this post of yours.
Two days back when we were trying to put names to the faces of the cricketers, who had been given female makeovers, you did mention Poonam Jhawer. I had made a mental note to see you latest post but missed it when it was actually posted.
like Rajaji has said I knew only the Mohra version. I knew it wasa on Suniel Shetty and Poonam Jhawer. But didn’t know it has two versions. I thought it was a duet.
Thank You Maheshji for the original
The true Mukesh fan indeed!

Gajendra ji, Shenoy ji, Nalini ji and Raja ji,
Many Thanks for your comments and to sum up all.
Mohra was released about 35 days before Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and stood its ground as the songs became quite popular. Well, as Raja ji says they were indeed “chatpata”.
Poonam Jhawer was unknown to me till I wrote the post.
Wiki page of the movie has a duet, and two sad/slow versions sung individually by Pankaj Udhas and Sadhana Sargam. They also sang it on popular demand in their private shows.
Mukesh version indeed takes us back to the nostalgic era.
There are quite a few Mukesh songs from unreleased films etc. Not all are available on net but the search is on.
Mahesh

Yes it was picturised on Poonam Jhawer and Sunil Shetty in the movie Mohra. I used to play the song on the cassette repeatedly. I discovered the Mukesh original much later.
Viju Shah had reused the song for Mohra.
