Yeh raate yeh mausam, yeh nadi ka kinara yeh chanchal Hawa / Lyrics / Songs/ Officail Video

Here’s my belated commentary of Ravi’s song Yeh Raate yeh mausam in Dilli ka thugsung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle, lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri Below you'll find the video, the lyrics and their translation.  In 1950s, there were a few movies, (now forgotten) that had Delhi (Dilli) in the title of the movie. These movies tended to have Kishore Kumar in the lead role. For example, Kishore Kumar acted in “Nai Dilli” (1957) as well as “Dilli ka thug” (1959).

In both these movies, Kishore Kumar acted as well as sang his songs. These movies may have been forgotten by now, but these movies had some wonderful songs in them. “Dilli ka thug” in fact had two fantastic duet songs (as well as a few solo songs).

One of these duets was a romantic song that went “ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara”. Both Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle sang this song so beautifully. This must be one of the earliest duets sung by these two, and Ravi, the music director managed to extract the best out of them. The lyricist Shailendra too came up with wonderful lyrics.

Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava

Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava

Kaha do dilon ne, ki mil kar kabhi na honge, kabhi ham judaYe raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava Ye kya baat hai aaj ki chaandani men Ye kya baat hai aaj ki chaandani men Ke ham kho gaye pyaar ki raagini men Ye baahon men baahen, ye bahaki nigaahen Lo aane laga zindagi ka maza Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava Sitaaron ki mahafil ne kar ke ishaara Sitaaron ki mahafil ne kar ke ishaara Kaha ab to saara jahaan hai tumhaara Muhabbat javaan ho, khula aasamaan ho Kare koi dil aarazu aur ky Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava Qasam hai tumhe tum agar mujhase ruthe Qasam hai tumhe tum agar mujhase ruthe Rahe saans jab tak, ye bandhan na toote Tumhen dil diya hai, ye vaada kiya hai Sanam main tumhaari rahungi sada Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava Kaha do dilon ne, ki mil kar Kabhi ham nahonge juda Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava.
