Dheere dheere aa re baadal

Dheere dheere aa re baadal, dheere aa re
Baadal dheere dheere jaa
Mera bulbul so raha hai, mera bulbul so raha hai
Shor gul na machaa
Dheere dheere

Raat dhundhli ho gayi hai,
Saari duniya so gayi hai
Raat dhundhli ho gayi hai,
Sar hilake keh rahe hain phool kyaari mein
So gayi so gayi so gayi
So gayi laila kisi ki intezaari mein
So gayi laila kisi ki intezaari mein
Meri laila ko oh baadal
Tu nazar na lagaa
Tu nazar na lagaa
O baadal tu nazar na laga
Mera bulbul so raha hai
Mera bulbul so raha hai
Shor gul na macha
Dheere dheere

Ta na naa ta na naa ta na na na naa
Ta na naa ta na na na naa

O gaanevaale... shhh dheere gaana geet tu apna
Kyon? Arre! Toot jaayega kisiki aankh ka sapna
Tut jaayega kisiki aankh ka sapna
Chupke chupke kah raha hai
Chupke chupke kah raha hai
Mujhse mera dil
Aa gayi dekho musaafir pyaar ki manzil
Musaafir pyaar ki manzil

Kaun gaata hai rubaai re
Phir ye kiski yaad aayi re
Phir ye kiski yaad aayi re
Kisne pehna di haan bolo
Kisne pehna di re mujhko prem ki maala
Kisne meri zindagi ka rang badal daala,
Ah ha ha rang badal daala
Tum kahoge preet isko tum kahoge pyaar
Main kahoon, haan
Main kahoon do dil mile hain
Khil gaya sansaar
Main kahoon do dil mile hain
Khil gaya sansaar
Do dilon ki ye kahaani
Do dilon ki ye kahaani
Tu bhi sunta jaa
O baadal tu bhi sunta jaa

Movie: Kismet (1943)

Director: Gyan Mukherjee

Singers: Amirbai Karnataki, Ashok Kumar

Lyricist: Ramchandra Dwivedi (Kavi Pradeep)

Music Composer: Anil Biswas

I like Ashok Kumar, whether he appears as the venerable grandfather, the serious elder brother or the dastardly villain. In this song, he is a romantic hero. It also is one of the songs he sung himself, along with the famous actress/singer Amirbai Karnataki. Although the lyrics and tune are simple, the feeling it portrays is rather endearing. ~ S
