The film Parineeta (1952) has a magical song “Chaand hain wohi” sung by Geeta ji. It was filmed on Meena Kumari ji but the song was deleted from the film and was never made available on any VCD/DVD of the film all these years. Our dear friend Kusum Saxena ji got hold of a VHS tape of this film and it had the video of this song. We had earlier hosted the video on our website here Great Discoveries Great Songs
Now the video has been made available on Youtube for every one to appreciate and enjoy.
One can listen to a better audio file on this link, which has been available all these years
The lyrics of this divine melody are penned by Pandit Bharat Vyas ji and is composed by Arunkumar Mukherjee sahab.
chand hai vahi sitare hai vahi gagan
phir bhi kyu udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi
kaun tha mila mujhe jo mil ke kho gaya
kaun tha mila mujhe jo mil ke kho gaya
kaun mere paas aa ke dur ho gaya
phul hai vahi phul hai vahi, bahare hai vahi chaman
phir bhi kyo udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi
aaj mere man ki bansuri bhi maun hai
aaj mere man ki bansuri bhi maun hai
jis ko dhundhte mere nayan vah kaun hai
rag hai vahi rag hai vahi, parag hai vahi pavan
phir bhi kyo udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi
We are extremely grateful to Kusum ji for sharing the video on youtube.
