Chand jaise mukhde pe

The movie “Saawan Ko Aane Do” was a musical blockbuster, and its songs became very popular among it,s target audience, viz audience who watched non mainstream ( Amitabh Bachchan kind of action movies) movies which were made on shoestring budget with unknown faces.

In fact, Rajshri productions broke the myth that movies sold because of big stars. Rajshree production movies had no stars, and in fact music was the star in their movies.
I have posted two songs from this movie and I can continue posting one great song after another from this movie, as the movie was full of such songs.
Here is one such song. This song “chand jaise mukhde pe bindiya sitaara” incidentally is a song where one can find the word “chaand” which had by now become rarer than “id ka chaand”.Movie : Saawan Ko aane do (1979) 
Starring : Arun Govil, Zarina Wahab, Rita Bhaduri and Amrish Puri

Singer : Yesudas

Lyrics : Purushottam “Pankaj”, MD-Rajkamal

sab tithiyan kaa chandrmaa, jo dekhaa chaaho aaj,
dheere dheere ghoonghtaa sarkaavo sartaaj,

hoooo ho ho ho
chaand jaise mukhde pe bindiyaa sitaaraa...,

chaand jaise mukhde pe bindiyaa sitaaraa,
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan, ye sitaaraa wo sitaaraa,
maanaa teri nazron mein main hoon ek aawaaraa,
ho aawaaraa...
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan, ye aawaaraa, wo aawaaraa,
chaand jaise mukhde pe bindiyaa sitaaraa
ho ho ho ho

saagar saagar moti milte, parwat parwat paaras,
tan man aise bheege jaise barse mahuee kaa ras,
are kastoori ko khojtaa phirtaa hai ye banjaaraa,
ho banjaaraa...
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan, ye banjaaraa, wo banjaaraa,
chand jaise mukhde pe bindiya sitaara,
ho ho ho ho

kajraare chanchal nainon mein sooraj chaand kaa deraa,
roop ke is paawan mandir mein hansaa kare baseraa,
pyaase geeton ki gangaa kaa tu hi hai kinaaraa,
ho kinaaraa...
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan, ye kinaaraa wo kinaaraa,

chaand jaise mukhde pe bindiyaa sitaaraa,
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan ye sitaaraa, wo sitaaraa,
maanaa teri nazron mein main hoon ek aawaaraa,
ho aawaaraa...
nahin bhoolegaa meri jaan, ye aawaaraa, wo aawaaraa,
chaand jaise mukhde pe bindiyaa sitaaraa
ho ho ho ho...
