(Shokhiyaan, 1951)

This divine Yaman piece from the peerless Jamal Sen, and the solitary Lata track from the Suraiya-rich "Shokhiyaan" (1951) is conspicuously absent from the ISB (unless I missed it, I checked most available ISB sites).

The song is available on a "Rare Gems: Lata Mangeshkar" 2-tape set released by HMV that, if only for this song, is worth buying. It's a great compilation in any case.

I am not sure of one word in the first antaraa - it sounds like the way I've written, but I don't know any such word. Please correct it, whoever can..

jhuke laaj se nain
viinaa kii jhanakaar me.n
tarapan laage bain

sapanaa ban saajan aaye \-2
ham dekh dekh musakaaye \-2
ye nainaa bhar aaye, sharamaaye
sapanaa ban saajan aaye \-2

bichh gaye baadal ban kar chaadar \-2
indradhanushh pe hamane jaakar
jhuule Kuub jhulaaye \-2
ye nainaa bhar aaye, sharamaaye
sapanaa ban saajan aaye \-2

niil gagan ke su.ndar taare \-2
chun liye phuul samajh ati nyaare \-2
jholii me.n bhar laaye \-2
ye nainaa bhar aaye, sharamaaye
sapanaa ban saajan aaye \-2

mast pavan thii, ham the akele \-2
hilamil kar barakhaa sa.ng khele \-2
phuule nahii.n samaaye, ham phuule nahii.n samaaye
ye nainaa bhar aaye, sharamaaye
sapanaa ban saajan aaye \-2
