I have discussed as many as three songs from “Chaar Dil Chaar Raahen” (1959) in the recent past. All these songs are from different genre. Here is another song from this movie which is from yet another genre.

This song is a joyous song where several village women are singing and dancing. Meena Kumari, playing a low caste girl, also wants to join them. Her shabby clothes cause her to hesitate, but finally she takes the plunge and join in the revelry.

This joyous song is sung by another Meena, viz Meena Kapoor. Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist. Anil Biswas is the music director.

I have included both the audio version (which is complete) and the video version (incomplete). Here is this lovely song for the readers to savour.

Lyrics

kachchi hai umariyaa,
kori hai chunariyaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa

pag more bahke
ang more dahke
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa more sajnaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa

agan lagaaye lagan jagaaye
ye madmaati ghadiyaan
ye madmaati ghadiyaan
tan bhi sambhaalaa
man bhi sambhaalaa
sambhlin na nainon ki jhadiyaan
sambhlin na nainon ki jhadiyaan
gaayen sab sakhiyaan
roye mori ankhiyaan
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa more sajnaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
pag more bahke ang more dahke
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa more sajnaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa

kah bhi na paaun
rah bhi na paaun
preet kaa dard chhupaake
preet kaa dard chhupaake
rang ras barse,
jiyaa moraa tarse
tapan bujhaa jaa aa ke
tapan bujhaa jaa aa ke
chahu koney sukh hai
mohe toraa dukh hai
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa more sajnaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
pag more bahke ang more dahke
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa more sajnaa
kabhi to sudh letaa jaa
kachchi hai umariyaa,
kori hai chunariyaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa more sajnaa
mohe bhi rang detaa jaa
