Ajahun Na Aaye Baalma

Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye

Neend bhi ankhiyan dwaar na aaye
Neend bhi ankhiyan dwaar na aaye
Tose milan ki aas bhi jaaye
Neend bhi ankhiyan dwaar na aaye
Tose milan ki aas bhi jaaye
Aayi bahaar khile phulwaa
Aayi bahaar khile phulwaa
Aayi bahaar khile phulwaa
More sapne kaun sajaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye

Chaand ko badra garwa lagaaye
Chaand ko badra garwa lagaaye
Aur bhi mora man lalchaaye
Chaand ko badra garwa lagaaye
Aur bhi mora man lalchaaye
Yaar haseen gale lag jaa
Aaa…
Yaar haseen gale lag jaa
Yaar haseen gale lag jaa
Mori umar guzarti jaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Aaa…
Ajahun na aaye baalma, saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye
Haay re saawan beeta jaaye

Movie: Sanjh Aur Savera (1964)

Music Composer: Shankar-Jaikishan

Yet another family favourite. This song is another example of how classical music can be used in all its glory in film music. 

Although the lyrics are slightly melancholy, the song features a funny scene where Mehmood, disguised as an old man, is teaching music to his love Shubha Khote, while being watched by her clueless mother. 

Mohammed Rafi and Suman Kalyanpur have rendered the rather difficult song wonderfully. ~ S
