Through our parent website Hamara Forums, our main website and with help from various kind music lovers, we have “discovered” or re-discovered some very rare and melodious songs of our beloved singer Geeta Dutt ji. These songs were recorded more than fifty plus years ago. Some of them even did not see the light of the day. Through the collaborative effort of our mentors, guides, friends, record collectors and SIRC we have unearthed these hidden gems. This is an effort to compile some of them in the form a single post so that we all can enjoy them in a convenient manner.

Pujite maheshe heri prano-dhone,
shibo-sheere dite bari bari bohe du-nayane…
Tripurari kori dhyan,
hride jaage se bayan,
akulo pagal pran,
rakhite nari jatane…
Katore karuna karo,
he shankaro pooja dharo,
ashutosh dukho haro,
kripakana bitarane!
