Basant Bahar (1956) - A wonderful musical

Basant Bahar was a movie released in 1956, more than 50 years back. It has some great songs, and hence has never been forgotten. The movie starred Bharat Bhushan, Nimmi, Leela Chitnis, Kumkum, Om Prakash, and many others. The movie was directed by Raja Nawathe, and had some excellent music by Shanker Jaikishan. Lyrics are by Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri, and the singers for the movie are Mohammed Rafi, Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.
The story is about a son not following in the footsteps of his father. Gopal (Bharat Bhushan) is the son of the Raj Jyotshi of a kingdom (Chitaldurg State), and his father had always sought to have his son follow in his footsteps. Instead, Gopal begins to become a vocalist, and is fairly gifted. He also falls in love with Gopi (Nimmi), the daughter of famous singer Neela Sani; both of these facts do not go down well with his father. However, Gopal continues on his path, until one day a rival tampers with his voice. Further, there is a turn of events that estranges him from Gopi; will Gopal be ever be able to be the greatest vocalist of his generation and what will happen to his love story ?

Lyrics of songs from Basant Bahar

Sur Na Saje Kya Gaaun Main

sur na saje kya gaaun main \- 2
sur ke bina, javan suna \- 2
sur na saje kya gaun main
sur na saje...................................

jalate gaya jeevan mera \-2
is raat ka na hoga savera \-2
sur na saje .................................

donon jahaan, mujh se roothe \- 2
tere bina ye geet bhi jhoothe \- 2
sur na saje...................................

tat se lagi nadiya gaave \-2
pi tum kahaan papeeha gaave \-2
sur naa saje ...............................

(sangeet man ko pankh lagaaye
geeton men rim-jhim ras barasaaye ) \- 2
svar ki saadhana \- 2
parameshvar ki
sur na saje.............................



Duniya Na Bhaaye Mohe

aa .a .a

duniya na bhaaye mohe ab to bula le
charanon men, charanon men tere,
charanon men, charanon men

mere geet mere sang sahaare
koi na mera sansaar men
dil ke ye tukade kaise bech dun
duniya ke baazaar men
man ke ye moti rakhiyo tu sambhaale
charanon men, charanon men tere,
charanon men, charanon men

saat suron ke saaton saagar
man ki umangon se jaage
tu hi bata main kaise gaaun
baheri duniya ke aage
teri ye bina ab tere havaale
charanon men, charanon men tere,
charanon men, charanon men

main ne tujhe koi sukh na diya
tune daya luyaai donon haathon se
tere pyaar ki yaad jo aaye
dard chhalak jaaye aankhon se
jeena nahin aaya mohe ab to chhupa le
charanon men, charanon men tere,
charanon men, charanon men

duniya na bhaaye mohe ab to bula le
charanon men, charanon men tere,
charanon men, charanon men



Badi Der Bhaii

badi der bhai \-2
kab loge khabar more raam \-2
badi der bhai \-2

kahete hain tum ho daya ke saagar
phir kyun khaali meri gaagar
jhoomen jhuke kabhi na barase
kaise ho tum ghanashyaam \-2
he raam \-2
badi der bhai \-2

sun ke jo bahere ban jaaoge
aap hi chhaliya kahalaaoge
meri baat bane naa bane
ho jaaoge tum badanaam \-2
he raam \-2
badi der bhai \-2
kab loge khabar more raam \-2
chalate-chalate mere pag haare
aai jeevan ki shaam
kab loge khabar more raam
badi der bhai \-2



Ja Ja Re Ja Baalamva

jaa jaa re jaa, baalamava
sautan ke sang raat bitaai
kaahe karat ab jhuthi batiyaan
jaa jaa re jaa, baalamava

ghair ke ghar kari raat jagaai
mose kahe tere bina neend na aayi
kaiso harajaai daiyya
jaa jaa re, jaa baalamava..................

kaandhe laga laayi bindiya kisiki
jaanun main churaayi tune nindiya kisiki
laaj na aayi tohe
jaa re jaa, jaa re jaa, jaa re jaa, baalamava



Main Piya Teri

main piya teri tu maane ya na maane
duniya jaane tu jaane ya na jaane

kaaheko bajaaye tu mithi-mithi taanen
main piya teri tu maane ya na maane

murali ki lay ne dil mera chheena
taar jagaaye dil ke taar jagaaye
raah bikhere jab tere dil ne
raag uthaaye main ne raag uthaaye
mitane na dungi, pyaar ke sagaane
main piya teri...........................

preet ki dori tum sang baandhi
tum sang baandhi sainya tum sang
bujh ne na dungi preet ka deepak
kitanii bhi aaye sainya duniya ki aandhi
main nahin badali, badale zamaana
