RRR SONG #5 – CHANDNI RAATEN PYAR KI BAATEN

RRR Songs (Songs of Regret, Repentance and Ruefulness)

I started this new series on 17 Jan 21 on my Facebook Group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne. My efforts failed to involve people in writing their own stuff about songs and music rather than copying and pasting from here and there or worse, just sharing url of songs from YouTube. Hence, I had decided to give the group a burial that it deserved rather than making it like thousands of groups on Facebook about songs with nothing unique about them at all.

I hope you liked RRR Song #4: Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta. Here is the next song:

Song #5
Chandni raaten pyar ki baaten kho gayi jaane kahan?

Remembering Geeta Bali on Her Death Anniversary 21 Jan

She died at the age of 35 years only. She had acted in about 70 movies in about ten years of her career as heroine that started with the 1946 (she was 16 years old then) movie Badnaami.

Incidentally, I started my Raat or Din Songs series with her Saari saari raat teri yaad sataye.

Jaal – 1952 Movie

This was one of her best roles and the movie has got the most beautiful song of Sahir Ludhianvi on the composition of SD Burman in Raag Kafi: Ye raat ye chandni phir kahan.

Geeta Bali was Maria (the same name as Julie Andrews in Sound of Music), the daughter of Carlos (KN Singh) in Goa. Tony Fernandez (Dev Anand) arrives from Bombay. He is a slick and suave person. Maria and Tony fall in love with each other thanks to the extraordinary seductive appeal of Tony (as in the song Ye raat ye chandni phir kahan).

Little did she know that Tony is a cheat. And hence this song. As beautiful lyrics here as the male version:

(यहाँ मत गाइये)ये रात ये चाँदनी फिर कहाँ
(यहाँ मत गाइये) सुन जा दिल की दास्तां

====== संगीत=======

चांदनी रातें प्यार की बातें
खो गयी जाने कहाँ
चांदनी रातें प्यार की बातें
खो गयी जाने कहाँ

(यहाँ मत गाइये)ये रात ये चाँदनी फिर कहाँ
(यहाँ मत गाइये) सुन जा दिल की दास्तां

आती है सदा तेरी टूटे हुए तारों से
आहट तेरी सुनती हूँ खामोश नज़ारों से
भीगी हवा, उदी घटा कहती है तेरी कहानी
तेरे लिये बेचैन है शोलों मे लिपटी जवानी
सीने मे बल खा रहा है धुआं,
सुन जा दिल की दास्तां

(यहाँ मत गाइये)ये रात ये चाँदनी फिर कहाँ
(यहाँ मत गाइये) सुन जा दिल की दास्तां

चांदनी रातें प्यार की बातें
खो गयी जाने कहाँ

=====अंतराल संगीत======

My Own Poetry

TU NAHIN TO CHANDNI RAAT KYA KARE?

चांदनी रात है पर तूं मेरे साथ नहीं,
बात तो कुछ है लेकिन वह बात नहीं।

भीगी फिजायें छू लेती हैं आके रुखसार,
उनसे क्या हो जब दिल में बरसात नहीं।

एक ज़माना था शाम ओ सेहर मिलते थे हम,
अब कभी मिलें ऐसे तो हालात नहीं।

लहरे उठती हैं उठ के चली जाती हैं,
दिल की धड़कन को बढ़ा दें इनकी औकात नहीं।

पेड़ों की छाओं में बैठे भी तो क्यूं हो जादू,
ठहरे कैसे ये समां जब हाथ में तेरा हाथ नहीं।

नज़रें रह रह के ढूंढती हैं तेरी नज़रें,
कहाँ है तू इतनी तो अंधेरी रात नहीं।

कैसे अब प्यार हमारा मुकाम तक पहुंचे,
ना तो तुम से न मुझ से जब शुरुआत नहीं।

हम नहीं मिलते यह ज़माने की है पाबंदी,
क्यूं कहती हो, रवि, तेरे दिल में जज़्बात नहीं।

The Song

Geeta Bali had many songs sung for her by Geeta Dutt. However, here she has Lata Mangeshkar singing for her and it is simply great.

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Chandni raaten pyar ki baaten…

I hope you liked Song #5 in this series.

Please await Song #6: Khushi do ghadi ki mile na mile.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
