“Do Bhai” (1947) was directed by Munshi Dil for Filmistan. The movie had Kamini Kaushal, Ulhas, Rajan Haksar, Paro, Rajendra Singh, Nayampalli, Abdul Mazid, Kanta Kumari, Vikram Kapoor, Baby Tara, Radha, Afghan Sandow, Tiwari etc in it.
Seven songs (out of 9) from this movie have been discussed in the past. This movie is known for Geeta Dutt’s debut song “Mera Sundar sapna beet gaya”. She had sung six songs in it and Rafi had sung one song. But this movie had a few songs sung by oldtimers as well. K S Ragi and G M Durrani had sung one song each. Paro Devi was the second most prolific singer in the movie after Geeta Dutt. She sang two songs in the movie.
Here is a song sung by Paro Devi. Going by the title of the song I thought that I was familiar with the song, but I was wrong. The songs of similar mukhdas that I was familiar with were Ambuwa pe koyal boley (Moorti)(1945) sung by Khursheed Bano and Ambuwaa ki daari boley kaari koyaliyaa (NFS)(1960) sung by Asha Bhonsle.
I heard this song for the first time only just now. What a remarkable song. Today appears to be the day when I am discovering the singing prowess of Paro Devi. It is the second Paro devi gem that I have come across today.
Here is this superb song which is written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan. Music is composed by S D Burman.
The song ends with a flourish (doley doley doley re…) which reminds you of Kishore Kumar. I recall Kishore Kumar copying this style of singing in one of his comedy songs, but I am unable to recall which song that is.
What a lovely song. listening to this song is bound to make your day.

Lyrics
ambuwa ki daali pe
koyal boley
koyal boley re
koyal boley
prem ki nadi mein
man ki naiyya
dagmag doley re
dagmag doley
ambuwa ki daali pe
koyal boley
koyal boley re
koyal boley
kisi ne dil ko mere
kya kar diya
kya kar diya
haay

kisi ne dil ko mere
kya kar diya

man ka papeeha boley piya piya
piya piya
haay piya piya
kisi ke jaal mein phans gaye re
nainon ke panchhi boley boley
ambuwa ki daali pe
koyal boley
koyal boley re
koyal boley
praanon mein mere lagi prem ki aag re
prem ki aag re
prem ki aag
das gaye
das gaye

nainon ke naag re
nainon ke naag re
nainon ke naag
preet unse badhtee jaaye
hauley hauley
hauley hauley re
hauley hauley
ambuwa ki daali pe
koyal boley
koyal boley re
koyal boley
sooni atariya ka deepak roye
deepak roye re

main to jaagoon
meri kismat soye
kismat soye soye

aake pardes piya ghoonghat khole
ghoonghat khole re
ghoonghat khole
ho
ambuwa ki daali pe
koyal boley
koyal boley re
koyal boley
prem ki nadi mein
man ki naiyya
dagmag doley re
dagmag doley re naiyya
doley doley doley re
