My last post on our blog has been sometime back. I have been meaning to write about this song which has a couple of rare occurrences in the Hindi Film and Music world and was waiting for an opportune moment.
Recently, I have been fighting my own battles on my health front, having been hospitalised for surgical and advanced interventional pain management procedures, more than a couple of times in the last one year. I have diabetes, which is under control, however it has caused neuropathy in both my feet causing severe pain with tingling and burning sensations. I would like to take this opportunity to create awareness amongst all the readers of this blog that diabetes can be very dangerous and draining and that one should take care of their feet. One’s feet bear the entire weight of one’s body but always fail to get the attention and good care, as with other parts of the body.
Well, coming back to today’s post. Late last month, we, the regular (and irregular) contributors of this blog were told by our beloved SudhirJi, that the blog was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its creation and that song posts were expected from all the contributors. However, as hard as I tried, I couldn’t stick up to the deadline of sending in our contributions. However, Sudhir Ji would not relent and sent me another request to send in my post. This made me very embarrassed and I made a promise to myself that come what may, I will write my post and send it today, three days after my second extended deadline.
My association with this blog actually started around two years after I started my Facebook group – Rare Hindi Film Songs in 2010. In searching for old and rare songs to post, I would often visit the blog and later I came to know that even Atul Ji, the creator of this blog was a member and a regular visitor of my group. However, it took me almost 4 years to write my first post – for the song “Chup Chup Chup Kyon Baithe Ho” – and send it to Atul Ji for moderation and posting. Since then, I have been sending in my posts in bursts, start and stop.
Till date I have just posted about 20 odd songs, but I feel so much drawn to the Atulites group that I feel I have come to my home group amongst these various people across the world, who share similar passion and views. In particular, Avinash Ji and Sudhir Ji seem to like my kind of songs from movies of the 70s and early eighties, not that others are not encouraging.
My heartiest congratulations to Atul Ji, ASAD, Atulites and all the people who love HFM, on the 10th anniversary of this endeavour !!!
Now coming to today’s song. As I have mentioned above, this is a special song for me as it has a few rare characteristics associated with it, in the HFM world and also since it is quite a rare song. It is from the Pran, Navin Nischol and Rekha starrer ‘Dharma’ released in 1973. Two other songs from this movie have been posted earlier on the blog. For those who haven’t seen the movie or have forgotten it, the plot summary can be read here on IMDB.
Now, coming to this song with ‘Two Rare Occurrences’ for a Hindi movie!
It is an almost eight minute long song, starting with a straight cut and paste of the song “Aur Mera Naam Hai Jameela” sung by Lata Mangeshkar from the 1967 film ‘Night in London’ (composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal and penned by Anand Bakshi). In both the films, Helen is the dancer performing this song on screen. But of course, the choreography is different in the two films. In this clip from ‘Dharma’, only one stanza of the original song from ‘Night In London’ is included and it is about 2 minutes in duration. Well this is one rare thing.
The second and most important rare thing about this song is that after Helen’s initial lip syncing to this cut-paste song, the actual song, sung by Asha Bhosle, is lip synced by four of the best cabaret dancers of that era. Of course after the Numero Uno – Helen – who’s in the first part. The subsequent segments are performed by Faryal, Sonia Sahani, Jayashree T and Bindu.
The video opens with Helen beginning the dance with some male dancers. The music has already begun. We can also see Ramesh Deo with Asit Sen, who is watching the dance wide-eyed and lecherously. They go to another dance bar and Faryal starts her part followed by Sonia Sahni performing in the third bar. In the fourth bar, Jayashree T is performing bhangra. In the last bar, they do drugs with drinks while Bindu is performing. In this film, Madan Puri and Ramesh Deo are together shown to cheat rich men by taking them to clubs and tempting them with wine and women. The song shows Seth Garib Das (Asit Sen) is being trapped by them and this cabaret number is organized for him.
I hope all of you like the interesting facts of this song as well as the song. Please comment.

Lyrics
yaar ki nigaahon me pyaar ki mehfil me saahib main rahti hoon aashiqon ke dil me aur mera naam hai jameela
har ek dil ko dhadakne ki aadat huyi main jis gali se bhi guzri qayamat huyi log nazren bichaane lage log nazren bichaane lage haal dil ka sunaane lage yaar ki nigaahon me pyaar ki mehfil me saahib main rahti hoon aashiqon ke dil me aur mera naam hai jameela
arey saaqi jo kal ki hai bachi baaki usi ka daur chal jaaye arey saaqi jo kal ki hai bachi baaki usi ka daur chal jaaye utha parda dekh jalwa ke sheeshe mein jawani ab utar jaaye arey saaqi
rani hoon main raat ki tu hai galiyon ka raaja aa rani hoon main raat ki tu hai galiyon ka raaja soyi hui jawani ko tu chhoo ke zara jaga ja meri nigahein, aadayen ye baahein bulaayen veeraa. . . hahh veeraa. . .aah la laa la laa la laa la laa
o ho machal ke pee sambhal ke pee paimane mein maikhaana doob na jaaye machal ke pee sambhal ke pee paimane mein maikhaana doob na jaaye arey saaqi
dil le ja nishaani badi meherbaani haaye dil le jaa nishaani badi meherbaani teri jiyegi teri jiyegi jug jug jawaani o mere dil jaani teri jiyegi jug jug jawaani ho mere dil jaani haaye ve sun sajna ve sun makhna tu yaad rakhna ke yaari toot na jaaye ve sun sajna ve sun makhna tu yaad rakhna ke yaari toot na jaaye ve sun sajana..aa..aa. . .
dum mein dum hai to dum laga duniya kya hai nasha hi nasha aasmaan ke baadal to kuchh bhi nahin mazaa to tab hai ke zameen pe baadal bana mere humdum raat hai kam ke baaton mein ye saari raat na jaaye mere humdum. . .

यार की निगाहों में प्यार की महफिल में साहिब मैं रहती हूँ आशिक़ों के दिल में और मेरा नाम है जमीला
हर एक दिल को धड़कने की आदत हुई मैं जिस गली से भी गुज़री क़यामत हुई लोग नज़रें बिछाने लगे लोग नज़रें बिछाने लगे हाल दिल का सुनाने लगे यार की निगाहों में प्यार की महफिल में साहिब मैं रहती हूँ आशिक़ों के दिल में और मेरा नाम है जमीला
अरे साक़ी
जो कल की है
बची बाकी
उसी का दौर चल जाये
अरे साक़ी
जो कल की है
बची बाकी
उसी का दौर चल जाये
उठा पर्दा
देख जलवा
के शीशे में
जवानी अब उतार जाये
अरे साक़ी
रानी हूँ मैं रात की
तू है गलियों का राजा
आ
रानी हूँ मैं रात की
तू है गलियों का राजा
सोई हुई जवानी को
तू छू के ज़रा जगा जा
मेरी निगाहें अदाएं ये बाहें बुलाएँ वीरा॰ ॰ ॰ हाहह वीरा॰ ॰ ॰ आहह ल ला ल ला ल ला ल ला
ओ हो
मचल के पी
संभाल के पी
पैमाने में मैखाना डूब ना जाये
मचल के पी
संभाल के पी
पैमाने में मैखाना डूब ना जाये
अरे साक़ी
दिल दे जा निशानी
बड़ी मेहरबानी
हाय दिल दे जा निशानी
बड़ी मेहरबानी
तेरी जिएगी
तेरी जिएगी जुग जुग जवानी
ओ मेरे दिल जानी
तेरी जिएगी जुग जुग जवानी
हो मेरे दिल जानी
हाए वे सुन सजना
वे सुन मखना
तू याद रखना
के यारी तू ना जाये
वे सुन सजना
वे सुन मखना
तू याद रखना
के यारी तू ना जाये
वे सुन सजना॰॰आ॰॰आ॰॰आ
दम में दम है तो दम लगा
दुनिया क्या है नशा ही नशा
आसमां के बादल तो
कुछ भी नहीं
मज़ा तो तब है के
ज़मीं पे बादल बना
मेरे हमदम
रात है कम
के बातों में
ये सारी
रात ना जाये
मेरे हमदम॰ ॰ ॰
