Ghadi Ghadi Puccho Na Ji Kinse Meri Preet Hai...

 Ghadi Ghadi Puchho Na Ji- Lata Mangeshkar- Film Anokha Pyar 1948- Lyricist G.S.Nepali- Music Anil Biswas.

For the first time, Anil Biswas music, in this film "Anokha Pyar" was dominated by Lata Mangeshkar. So much so That even if Actress Nalini Jaywant was a singer herself, she sang in Lata's voice in this film. Anil Biswas had immense faith in the potential of Lata's voice.Compared to Shamshad Begum, Naseem, Suraiyya, Lata's voice was thinner. However her voice was trained on classical base, and know no bounds. She could easily go this all octaves. Anil Biswas therefore totally trusted Lata and gave totalsix songs in this film. All songs were musical gems.This was just a beginning of flourishing of Lata under Anil Biswas baton.

The Six Songs Lata sang in the film are:
1) Yaad Rakhana Chand Taron
2) Mere Liye Woh Gham E Intezar
3) Ek Dilka Lagana Baaki Tha
4)Aye Dil Meri Wafamein Koi Asar Nahi Hai ( with Era Nagrath, Roshan's wife)
5) Ab Yaad Na Kar Bhool Jaa ( with Mukesh)
6) Ghadi Ghadi Puccho Na

The song Ghadi Ghadi Puchho Na, is however my personal favorite. The song is playful and racy ,yet with minimal archestra. Notice, how Lata's voice was tender in initial stages. Lata was able to convey the inner feeling of a person falling in love first time. Anokha pyar was a story of a Love trangle. An impoverished writer Ashok (Dilip Kumar), saves a flower seller girl Bindiya ( Nalini Jaywant) from a rougue, and in the end loses his eyesight. He is taken by Bindiya to a doctor's home. The doctor's daughter Geeta (Nargis) fall in his love. Bindiya is also in love with Dilip. After some days, Ashok recovers. In anticipation of his home comming, Bindiya sings this song. Lata's voice and lyrics is so exuberant, that it perfectly reflects the happiness, feelings of joy and delight encompassing her heart.

Lyrics of the Song:

Ghadi ghadi pucho na ji, kinse meri prit hai Ghadi ghadi pucho na...
Saavan me rimajhim jaise, rimajhim rimajhim Naino me vo hai aise, 

Naino me vo hai aise Naino me vo hai aise,
Aankho aankho me samajho kon mera mit hai 

Aankho aankho me samajho kon mera mit hai 

Ghadi ghadi puchho na ji kinase meri prit hai
Balma more aake na ghunghat khole 

Ghadi ghadi puchho na Jab tak balam na bole, jab tak balam na bole 

Aake na ghunghat khole
Ghadi ghadi pucho na ji kinse meri prit hai 

Prit ki kaliya chupa rakhne ki rit hai Prit ki kaliya chupa rakhne ki rit hai 

Ghadi ghadi pucho na ji kinse meri prit hai
Ghadi ghadi pucho na ghadi ghadi pucho na, 

Ghadi ghadi pucho na Ghadi ghadi pucho na ji kinse meri prit hai 

Ghadi ghadi pucho na ghadi ghadi pucho na
ji kinse meri prit hai ghadi ghadi pucho na
