Aakhomein Aaja Dilmein Sama Jaa- Lata Mangeshkar- Film Dulari 1949-Lyricist Shakeel Badayuni- Music Naushad

Like Films "Dillagi", Chandani Raat", "Andaz", the film Dulari, which was released in 1949, was also a musical film. Like the film " Andaz", the music of this film was also dominated by Lata Mangeshkar. How the domination was complete, can be gauged from the fact that out of total Twelve songs, Nine songs had Lata's voice. Lata's songs in this film were

1) Taqdeet Jagake Aayee Hoon.

2) Aye Dil Tuze Kasam Hai.

3) Na Vo Hamse Juda Honge.

4) Mohabbat Hamari Zamana Hamara.

5) Kaun Sine Faryad Hamari.

6)Aakhomein Aaja Dilmein Sama Jaa.

7)Raat Rangili Mast Nazarein (With Rafi)

8) Mil Mil Ke Gayenge Ho Do Dil Yahan (With Rafi)

9) Do Din Ki Bahar Pyare ( Chorus)

The advent of phenomenon called Lata Mangeshkar caused many upheavals in singing field. It signaled the end of singing careers of female singers like Amirbai Karnataki, Parul Ghosh, and Johrabai Ambawali. Their kind of singing was becoming irrelevant, with the arrival of fresh and tender voice of Lata, which also had classical base. The future belonged to this immortal voice. The only voice that stood firm against this onslaught was that of Shamshad Begum. Shamshad Begum had two songs in film "Dulari". Both songs were sung on screen by Geeta Bali.

Lyrics of the song:

aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
meri kahani sun jaa apni suna jaa

Bigadi hai kismat jeewan hai pheeka
Jeewan hai pheeka
Aa tujhse keh dun apne jee ka
O dam bhar ko aake meri bigdi bana jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
Meri kahani sun jaa apni suna jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
Is dil ko duniya tadpa rahi hai
Tadpa rahi hai
Aise mein teri yaad aarahi hai
O aa aur aake mujhe gham se chhuda jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
Meri kahani sun jaa apni suna jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa

Chhode naa duniya deewana kar ke
Deewana kar ke
Jeena bhi koi jeena hai mar ke
O haaye main kaise jiyun
Yeh toh bata jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
Meri kahani sun jaa apni suna jaa
Aankhon mein aaja dil mein sama jaa
