I just discovered a forgotten song from a forgotten movie. This movie is “Kaala Chor” (1956) and this song is a lighthearted time pass song.

But just listen to this song, and one will fall in love with this song. What an awesome light hearted song it is!

“Shaam suhaani ho nadi ho paani ho” is written by Prem Dhawan and its music is composed by Sardul Kwatra. Rafi has sung this sung with gusto. What a gem of a song it is. Instead of being forgotten, this song should cound as among Rafi’s timeless classics.

Song-Shaam suhaani ho nadi ho paani ho (Kaala Chor) (1956) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Prem Dhawan, MD-Sardul Kwatra

Lyrics

he
hahaha
hu hu ha ho ho
shaam suhaani ho
nadi ho paani ho
shaam suhaani ho
nadi ho paani ho
dil ki raani ho
to phir bedaa paar hai
chaudi peshaani hai
aankh mastaani ho
chaudi peshaani ho
aankh mastaani ho
saadi aasmaani ho
to phir bedaa paar hai
sham suhaani ho

baagh bageeche hon
peeche galeeche hon ji
baagh bageeche hon
peeche galeeche hon
naukar hon chaakar hon
aage hon peeche hon
reshmi suit ho
makhmali boot ho ji
reshmi suit ho
makhmali boot ho
husn ka shahar ho
pyaar ki loot ho
hotel Iraani ho
murga biryaani ho
par daulat begaani ho
to phir bedaa paar hai
shaam suhaani ho

aisi koi raat ho
apni baraat ho ji
aisi koi raat ho
apni baraat ho
dulhan ka saath ho
pyar ki baat ho
heeron ka taaj ho
kal nahin aaj ho
haan heeron ka taaj ho
kal nahin aaj ho
phaansi pe sair karoon
pitaaji ka raaz ho
par bagal me rani ho
chaahe wo kaani ho
arre jaani pahchaani ho
to phir bedaa paar hai
shaam suhaani ho

aisi taqdeer ho
apni jaagir ho
aisi taqdeer ho
apni jaagir ho
dono haathon me baal bachchon ki lakeer ho
mahal tayyar hon
itne pariwaar hon ji
mahal tayyar hon
itne pariwaar hon
mere bachcho ke bachche ek hazaar hon
bachhon ki naani ho
uski parnaani ho
parnaani ki naani ho
to phir bedaa paar hai
sham suhaani ho
nadi ho paani ho
dil ki raani ho to phir bedaa paar hai
