chaand phir niklaa is probably one of the most difficult songs to sing among Lata's dard bharE solos along with rasik balmaa
The way she shoots to kadhee hoon main phir bhI at her kind of pitch is really phenomenal!
chaand phir niklaa
magar tum na aayE
jalaa phir mEraa dil
karoon kyaa main haayE...
chaand phir niklaa
yeh raat kahtI hai
woh din gayE tErE
yeh jaantaa hai dil
ke tum nahin mErE (2)
kahdee hoon main phir bhI
nigaahEn bichhaayE
main kyaa karon haayE
ke tum yaad aayE
(chaand phir niklaa)
sulaghtE seenE sE
dhuaan saa uthtaa hai
lO ab chalE aaoo
ke dam ghuttaa haai (2)
jalaa gayE tan kO
baahaarOn kE saayE
main kyaa karon hayE
ke tum yaad aayE
(chaand phir niklaa)

bull, you seem to have an awesome memory. Kudos !!! The two songs you have given the lyrics for are simply superb. Talking about lyrics, I am reminded of the Madan-Mohan-Sahir classic in Haqeeqat, "Zaara see aahat hothi hai". What a tune and what a mood the song creates. The lyrics are also memorable. I remember the wordings of the second stanza only which in simple terms describes an occurence , but very poetically.
shaql phirthi hai nigahon mein wohi pyaari si
Meri nas-nas me machalne lagi chingari si
choo gayee jism mera kiske dhaaman ki hawa kahin yeh woh tho nahin....
Zara see aahat hothi hai tho yeh dil sochtha hai kahin yeh....
This expressive tune often gets me all choked up.
Talking of SDB, I can never forget "Raath akeli hai, bhujh gaye diye" from "Jewel Thief". This song has the gay abandon of youth in its pallavi , the charanam , passionate and then rises in its tempo with "jo Bhi chahe kahiye". Superb singing , superb BGM and a great tune. In fact ,SDB is supposed to have praised Asha's breath control openly in a function. Some more SDB favourites of mine,
Yeh thanhayee haye re haye (Tere Ghar ke saamne)
Ab tho hai tumse (Abhimaan) (Lata)
Piya bina (Abhiman) (Lata)
Dukhi man mere suno mera kehna (Funtoosh) (KK)
Apni to Ghar aah ek toofan hai (Kaala Baazar) Rafi
Khilthe hain gul yahaan (Sharmilee) (KK version) Megha Chaaye aadhi raath bairan ban gayee (Chupke Chupke ) (Lata)
Jayen to Jayen kahaan (Taxi Driver) (Talat) Bichde sabhi bare bare (Kagaz Ke Phoool (Rafi)
I have deliberately left out the songs of Guide. I think we should get deeper into the styles of these all time great MDs and singers like Rafi, Lata , KK etc. Will be back with more...

I am interested in knowing this: Chand phir nikla and rasik balma have very similar first lines. Does anyone which came earlier?
Another point: Although Chand phir nikla is supposed to be a tragic song, I somehow weirdly feel its a happy tune(and its a great tune).
Didi anyone feel the same way?

Kaushik : Could be either way. I have a feeling that "Rasik balma" came later because it features Nargis, doesnt it? And I remember "chaand phir niklaa" as being a rainy old film print. I may be wrong of course.
Sriram : Yes certainly that song featuring Priya Rajvansh is one of Lata's greatest... there is change of pace in this song which I makes me stop and rewind! Especially the very begining of the song when zaraa sI aahat is rendered very slowly, then there is a pause and then hOtI hai to pause ... yeh dil sOchtaa hai and then she picks up kaheen yeh woh to nahin with the rythm and the percussion starting. I have to rewind and listen to this part a few times before I proceed!
Talking of rewinding for the starting phase of the song I am reminded of Asha's qawwali number from saahib biwi aur ghulaam the one which goes saaquiaa aaj mujhE neend nahin aayEgi
The begining of this song is just fantastic! It is one of the songs sung in Asha's, what you call, gay-abandon-of-youth kind of mood and voice. Although she has sung many many songs in this kind of voice even counting upto zaraasaa jhUm loon main, this particular one sticks in atleast my memory.
When you talk of Asha's breath control it only reminds me of her caravan song with RDB ... piyaa tU ab to aajaa...

Sriram : The patriotic number
kar chalE hum fidaa jan-O-tan saathiyOn
ab tumhaarE hawaalE vatan saathiyOn
isnt it from haqeeqat too? That would mean that the lyricist is Kaifi Azmi, wouldnt it?

Paying Guest ..1955
Chori Chori ...1956
Unless Im mistaken.
Will check up and confirm tomorrow.

bull,
You are right. It is Kaifi-Azmi. In fact, he was to Madan Mohan what Sahir was to Roshan and Shakeel Badayuni to Naushad Ali. "Haqeeqat" had another great number by Rafi, Talat, Mannadey and Bhupendar, "Hoke Majhboor mujhe usne bulaya hotha".

Hi,
Isn't Rasik Balma.... song from Awaara? (unless I'm mistaken)
bull (@ wiza*) on: Mon Mar 1 13:17:35
From aawaaraa? No, I dont think so...
The dard bhari Lata song from aawaaraa is :
aajaaO tadaptE hain armaan
ab raat guzarnE waali hai
ab raat guzarnE waali hai
