        Song: Chhai Kari Badariya Bairaniya Ho Ram
                Ghan Badara Gaganva Pe Chha Gaye Ho
              More Sajanaa Bidesava Se Na Aaye Ram, Chhai Ka~ri

        Film:   Jeevan Jyoti (1953)
        Music:  Sachin Dev Burman
        Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianwi
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Leela Mishra, Shashikala,  Chand  Usmani,  Shammi
Kapoor

A semi classical rendition, that could have laid foundation stone
of  'Ab Ke Baras Bhej' of Asha Bhonsle in Bandini a decade later.
Those who haven't listen- ed to this song, I can only say that it
has  (almost)  same  meter  as that Asha gem. But rhythm is still
slower. Also, this song  has  more  classical  touch.  Or  Lata's
singing gives me that feeling!

Film has one good Asha number, that I can't  recall  now.  But  I
recall  is  a  delightful  duet by Geeta Roy and Mohd. Rafi, 'Lag
Gayi Akhiyan'.
