This bhajan is one of the modst well known bhajans as well as one of the oldest. Though everyone had listened to it, few people can tell the movie to which it belongs. It is just yesterday that I found out this information.

This song is from “Jogan” (1950). It is sung by Geeta Dutt and this song is one of the most memorable songs of her career. Bulo C Rani was the music director.

Lyricist was someone who was born several hundred yeras ago. Yes, Meera Bai is the lyricist of this song.

This song is picturised on Nargis playing Meera Bai like role. Dilip Kumar can also be seen in the picturisation.

This song is easily one of the iconic songs of bollywood that has led to countless variations and versions, and yet this version remains the gold standard.

Song-Ghoonghat ke pat khol re tujhe piyaa milenge (Jogan) (1950) Singer-Geeta Dutt, Lyrics-Meera bai, MD- Bulo C Rani

Lyrics

ghoonghat ke pat khol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re

ghat-ghat mein tore
saain basat hain
ghat-ghat mein tore
saain basat hain
katu bachan mat bol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re

dhan-joban kaa garv na keeje
dhan-joban kaa garv na keeje
jhoothaa inkaa mol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re

soone mandir
soone mandir diyaa jalaa ke
soone mandir diyaa jalaa ke
aasan se mat dol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re
tohe piyaa milenge
ghoonghat ke pat khol re
