“Navrang” (1958) is a song that is well known for its songs. I have discussed three songs from this movie in the past. Here is another song from this movie. I was not aware of this till a few hours ago.
This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor who was making his playback debut in this movie. The song is picturised on Mahipal who looks at the homely Sandhya and visualises her in a less homely avatar (viz dressed more like a seductress) in his imagination.
The song is written by Bharat Vyas in shudhh Hindi and the lyrics sound quite sweet to listen to. Mahedra Kapoor though commits one faux pas in this song. He pronounced “gadhhaa”= formed/ shaped as “ghadaa”=pot
If one can overlook that (Hindi purists will have difficulty getting reconciled to this pronounciation, though), then it is a nice song to listen to. C Ramchandra is the music director.
Song-Shyamal Shyamal baran komal komal charan (Navrang) (1958) Singer-Mahendra Kapoor, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
shyaamal shyaamal baran
komal komal charan
tere mukhde pe chandaa gagan kaa jadaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujh ko gadhaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujh ko gadhaa
shyaamal shyaamal baran
komal komal charan
tere baalon mein simti saawan ki ghataa,
aaa aaa aaa
tere baalon mein simti saawan ki ghataa,
tere gaalon pe chhitki poonam ki chhataa,
o poonam ki chhataa
teekhe teekhe nayan
teekhe teekhe nayan
meethe meethe bayan
tere angon pe champaa kaa rang chadhaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujhko gadhaa
shyaamal shyaamal baran
komal komal charan
ho ho
ye umar ye kamar
sau sau bal khaa rahi
sau sau bal khaa rahi
teri tirchhi nazar teer barsaa rahi
teer barsaa rahi
naazuk naazuk badan
naazuk naazuk badan
dheeme dheeme chalan
teri baanki lachak mein hai jaaduu badaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujhko gadhaa
shyaamal shyaamal baran
komal komal charan
kis paaras se sonaa ye takraa gayaa
tujhe rach kar chiteraa bhi chakraa gayaa
kis paaras se sonaa ye takraa gayaa
tujhe rach kar chiteraa bhi chakraa gayaa
ho chakraa gayaa
na idhar jaa sakaa
na idhar jaa sakaa
na udhar jaa sakaa
rah gayaa dekhtaa wo khadaa hi khadaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujhko gadhaa
bade man se vidhaataa ne tujhko gadhaa
shyaamal shyaamal baran
komal komal charan
