“Paapi”(1953) was directed by Chandulal Shah for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. The movie had Raj Kapoor and Nargis in lead roles, with Raj Kapoor playing a double role. The movie also had Dulaari, P Kailash, Maruti, Ramesh Thakur, Amarnath, Mehar Banu, Shrawan Kumar, Butaram Sharma etc in it.
The movie had eight songs in it that were penned by as many as six lyricists.
Six songs from this movie have been discussed in the past.
Here is the seventh song from “Paapi”(1953) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S Mohinder.
In the past, we had discussed a joyous song from this movie which was picturised on Nargis. This song too is picturised on Nargis, but it is a melancholic song that a leading lady mandatorily had to lip sync those days. :).
Song-Abhi abhi bahaar thhi (Paapi)(1953) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-S Mohinder
Lyrics
abhi abhi bahaar thhi
abhi abhi bahaar thi
chha gayi khizaan aan
dard bhari aankhon se
dard bhari aankhon se
ashq hai rawaan aan
abhi abhi bahaar thhi
chhod diya gareeb ko
bulbule badnaseeb ko
chhod diya gareeb ko
bulbule badnaseeb ko o
ghamon ke jhonke aa gaye
ghamon ke jhonke aa gaye
lut gaya hai gulsitaan aan
abhi abhi bahaar thhi
bijliyaan jala gayin
aandhiyaan mita gayin
bijliyaan jala gayin
aandhiyaan mita gayin
dekhte hi dekhte
dekhte hi dekhte
jal gaya hai aashiyaan
abhi abhi bahaar thhi
tujhko jafa pe naaz hai
ae ae ae ae
tujhko jafa pe naaz hai
mujhko wafa pe naaz hai
naaz hai
main to kahin na jaaungi
main to kahin na jaaungi
chhod ke tera aastaan
abhi abhi bahaar thi
chha gayi khizaan aa aa
dard bhari aankhon se ashq hai rawaan
abhi abhi bahaar thhi
