Piya bina…

Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya
Baaje na, baaje na, baaje na
Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya…

Piya aise roothey ke hothhon se mere sangeet rootha
Piya aise roothey ke hothhon se mere sangeet rootha
Kabhi jab main gaaon, lage mere mann ka har geet jhuthha
Aise bichhade, ho, oh, aise bichhade,  mose rasiya

Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya
Baaje na, baaje na, baaje na
Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya…

Tumhaari sadaa bin nahin ek sooni mori nagariya
Tumhaari sadaa bin nahin ek sooni mori nagariya
Ke chupp hai papiha, mayur bol bhuley ban men, saanwariya,
Din hai soona, aa…., din hai soona, sooni ratiya

Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya
Baaje na, baaje na, baaje na
Piya bina…
Piya bina, piya bina baansiya…

Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan was born on 9 April 1948, according to Wikipedia. I wanted to feature one of her songs this week. She’s been part of fun songs aplenty, but the vulnerable and lost Jaya of this song, who wonders why her doting husband has suddenly turned away, is imprinted in my memory.  Lata Mangeshkar sounds wonderful too. ~ R
