jhilamil sitaaro.n kaa aa.Ngan hogaa

Contributed by Surajit A. Bose

Note: The complete version of this song is now in the consolidated ISB. The original FITB article is retained here for archival purposes.

Here's a song that used to be very popular in my day. It's not a particularly great song, but quite hummable.

The duet version of this song is in the ISB, but quite mangled. It has only two verses, and the second of those actually conflates the second and third verses of the actual song. A corrected version follows.

Film: Jeevan Mrityu (1970)
Singer: Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
Music: Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

jhilamil sitaaro.n kaa aa.Ngan hogaa
rimajhim barasataa saavan hogaa
aisaa su.ndar sapanaa apanaa jiivan hogaa
jhilamil sitaaro.n kaa aa.Ngan hogaa ...

prem kii galii me.n ek chhoTaa saa ghar banaae.nge
kaliyaa.N naa mile.n naa sahii kaa.NTo.n se sajaae.nge
bagiyaa.N se su.ndar vo ban hogaa
rimajhim barasataa saavan hogaa

terii aa.Nkho.n se saaraa sa.nsaar mai.n dekhuu.ngii
dekhuu.Ngii is paar yaa us paar mai.n dekhuu.Ngii
naino.n ko teraa hii darshan hogaa
rimajhim barasataa saavan hogaa

The third stanza is this:

phir to mast havaao.n ke ham jho.nke ban jaae.Nge
nainaa sundar sapano.n ke jharokhe ban jaae.Nge
man aashaao.n kaa darpaN hogaa
rimajhim barasataa saavan hogaa
In addition, there is a slower, sadder version of this song. This tandem version is a Lata solo. It begins with the second stanza of the duet version ("terii aa.Nkho.n se saaraa"), and goes on to incorporate the following stanza:

roe.Ngii ye aa.Nkhe.n phir bhii mai.n to muskuraauu.Ngii
duHkh ke tuufaano.n se bhii mai.n naa ghabaraauu.Ngii
jab saath mere meraa saajan hogaa
rimajhim barasataa saavan hogaa

This movie was based on Alexandre Dumas pere's nineteenth-century French melodrama, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. The novel's a real page-turner. Despite the palpable absurdity of the plot—particularly in the second half, after the escaped prisoner Edmond Dantes passes himself off as a Count—the force of the story simply carries one along. The movie, as usual, is never quite as good as the book.....
