“Muqaabla”(1942) was produced by Homi Wadia and directed jointly by Batuk Bhatt (Nanabhai Bhatt) and Babubhai Mistry for J B H Wadia Productions, Bombay. The movie had Fearless Nadia, Yaqub, Agha, Srinivas, Rajni, Dalpat, Nazira, Jal Khambata, M K Hasan, Baby Madhuri, Khan Mastana etc. in it.

“Muqaaabla”(1942) had 9 songs in it. All of them were picturised on actors playing supporting roles in the movie.

Five songs have been covered in the blog so far.

Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog. HFGK mentions this song as sung by Nazeera and saaathi. On listening to the song one notices that it has two male voices as well. Video of the song is available which shows that Nazeera is being wooed by two of her suiters. One is offering her bindiya and jhumke, other is offering her paayal, whereas she herself is interested in having cholee and chunree. My guess is that like Nazeera, other two characters in the picturisation too have sung for themselves. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the other actors in the picturisation.

A Karim is the lyricist. Music is composed by Khan Mastana.

I have not been able to get a word or two right in the lyrics where the first male singer sings “ghoonghat ke pat…”. I request our readers with keener ears to suggest the correct word(s) here.

This small time actress Nazeera singing for herself is different from the singer Nazeera Begam who was a trained singer.

Lyrics

mohe makhmal kee cholee bana de balma
mohe resham kee chunree dila de
mohe makhmal kee cholee bana de balma
mohe resham kee chunree dila de balma
maathe kee bindiya kaanon ke jhumke
maathe kee bindiya kaanon ke jhumke

main dekhoon pahan ke pahan ke ho
main dekhoon pahan ke pahan ke
goree jobanwa tora cham cham chamke
goree jobanwa tora cham cham chamke
jab ghoonghat ke patu luta(?) de
jab ghoonghat ke patu luta(?) de

mohe resham kee chunree dila de
mohe makhmal kee cholee bana de balma
mohe resham kee chunree dila de

aa yahaan moree sajaniya
kyon
aa yahaan moree sajaniya
kyon
tohe chaandee kee paayal pahna doon
tohe chaandee kee paayal pahna do

un hoon
haan
phir kya ho o
phir kya ho o
phir kya ho o
phir kya ho o
main naachoon
main naachoon
main naachoon
main naachoon
main naachoon
main naachoon

main gaaoon
main gaaoon
main gaaoon
main gaaoon
main gaaoon
main gaaoon
mohe makhmal kee cholee bana de balma
mohe resham kee chunree dila de
mohe makhmal kee cholee bana de balma
mohe resham kee chunree dila de
