#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
(Debutant Movie- Batohi-1949)
I was specifically looking for a devotional song. While going through the Geet Kosh Volume –II (1941-1950), I come across this pleasant surprise which I am presenting here today.
I had come across this title ‘Batohi-बटोही’ in Geet Kosh (1941-1950) in the past under the list of Un-Released movies. (Those days the songs from this movie were not available on internet ).
Searching for word ‘‘Batohi-बटोही’ on this blog yields only one result. This word appears only in the famous song ‘kaun disaa mein leke chalaa re batohiyaa’ from “Nadiya Ke Paar”(1982)
Coming to the movie ‘Batohi-1949’, very less information is available about it in the Geet Kosh. The name of the director for this movie is not given. However some sources on internet mention the name of the director as Kumar Menon. He directed this movie for T.K. Screen Classics. The cast of this movie had Bharat Bhooshan, Indu Pal, Krishna Murari, Beena Pal, Kesari, Shivraj, Sapru and others.
Geet Kosh lists six songs for this movie and leaving space for possibility of more songs for this movie (yet to be known). Music for this movie is composed by S.K. Pal. The lyrics writers for this movie are Bharat Vyas, Vishwamitr Aadil, Ratan Piya, and Bharti Devi. Records for the songs for this movie were released by Columbia Records. Out of the six songs listed in Geet Kosh lyricist’s name is mentioned for only two individual songs, leaving blank for other four songs. Singers for these songs are Rajkumari, K.C. Dhawan, Manna Dey, Geet Roy/Dutt and Shrimati Ghosh.
Today I present the first song from this movie which is sung by Manna Dey. It is a nice bhajan to listen to. Listening to it has the effect to calm one’s nerves. Lyricist name is not known for this song.
I would request knowledgeable readers and seniors on this blog to throw more light on this movie and its songs please.
Song-Bhajan bin is tan ka kya kaam(Batohi)(UR)(1949) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Unknown, MD-S K Pal
Lyrics
bhajan bin
is tan kaa kya kaam
bhajan bin
is tan kaa kya kaam
moorakh
bhaj le seetaa raam
moorakh
bhaj le seetaa raam
bhajan bin
is tan kaa kya kaam
kyaa is tan kaa goraapan
aur kyaa yah sundar shyaam
kyaa is tan kaa goraapan
aur kyaa yah sundar shyaam
kaal ne sab kuchh kar diyaa maatee
phir kyaa iske daam
moorakh
bhaj le seetaa raam
bhajan bin
is tan kaa kya kaam
naahak hee maayaa mein phans kar r r
naahak hee maayaa mein phans kar
jodey daam chhadaam
ant samay sab chhoot jaayegaa aa aa
ant samay sab chhoot jaayegaa
dhan dharnee aur dhaam
moorakh bhaj le seetaa raam
bhajan bin
is tan kaa kya kaam
paagal tu apnee chintaa mein aen aen
paagal tu apnee chintaa mein aen
bin kaaran kyun martaa aa
jisne tujhko janam diyaa hai
jisne tujhko janam diyaa
kyun uskee aas naa kartaa aa
uskee aas naa kartaa aa
wohee hai ik teraa sahaaraa
wohee hain ik teraa sahaaraa
wo sab sankat hartaa aa aa
saunp de ae ae ae
saunp de ae
sab kuchh usko
wohee jag kaa kartaa dhartaa
wohee jag kaa kartaa dhartaa
chhupaa huaa hai raam naam mein
chhupaa huaa hai raam naam mein
sachchaa sukh aaraam
moorakh bhaj le seetaa raam
bhajan bin is tan kaa kya kaam
bhajan bin is tan kaa kya kaam
