Waadiyaan mera daaman...

So actually it happens so that in Hulchul, it is not when Kishanbhaiya/Murari arrives at Gangapur this Rafi song plays. It is when Jai and Lucky get off the bus (at 1:30:00 in this clip) this song plays. Then the song playing when Kishanbhaiya arrives (at 1:33:00 min) is different and quite inaudible so it's hard to listen.

Coming back to our song now.. wow! what a fabulous song... and it's all thanks to the RDB music & the way Rafi sahab has sung this song. Nothing else adds to it. The dhun is so catchy and echoing music out of this world! I guess this must be my favorite song too because it also falls under the most-absentmindedly-hummed category.

Sanjay Khan and Nanda are just about okay in the gorgeous melodious male solo version of the song seems a bit haunting at times. The softer romantic female version, which could actually be a duet, is picturized on Nanda and Marathi actor Kashinath Ghanekar. Note how both versions have completely different music.


M: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab churaaoge tan tum kisi baat se (2)
shaakh-e-gul chhed degi mere haath se
apni hi zulf ko aur uljaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab se milne lagi tum se raahen meri (2)
chaand sooraj bani do nigaahen meri
tum kahin bhi raho tum nazar aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

M: waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge

F: (waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman

jab hasegi kali rang waali koyi (2)
aur jhuk jaayegi tum pe dalai koyi
sir jhukaaye hue tum mujhe paaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge
waadiyaan mera daaman

chal rahe ho jahaan is nazar se pare (2)
woh dagar to guzarti hai dil se mere
dagmagaate hue tum yehi aaoge
(waadiyaan mera daaman raaste meri baahen
jaao mere siva tum kahaan jaaoge) (2)
waadiyaan mera daaman
