Baandh Priti Phuul Dor
LATA MANGESHKAR
baandh priti phuul dor,
man leke chitchor
duur jaana naa, duur jaana na
man ki kivaad khol,
mita mere anamol
bhuul jaana naa,
bhuul jaana na
kaise sahuun vichhohan,
man mein rama hai mohan
ruuth jaana naa, ruuth jaana na
Lata's old gem of a song from 1951 movie
Malati Madhav in Raag Jaijaivanti.(Thanx to
Harish).
Excerpts from Pakistani paper Dawn:
Of the 40 songs that S. M Shahid puts
together in his collection 'Immortal Film
Songs Inspired by Raags', 19 are by Lata.
Listening to them gives you a measure of her
unsurpassed genius. Lata favourites? Too many
to enumerate. After all, she ruled her
kingdom unchallenged for close to 40 years,
singing thousands of songs in the process. In
Shahid's collection, however, my favourite
is: 'Baandh preet phool dore'. Let Shahid
speak for himself: "...who will deny that
this song is one of the finest compositions
in raag Jaijaiwanti? (It) puts you under a
strange spell and I do not find any other
song which remains so strictly within the
discipline of this beautiful raag...The piano
has been used very effectively and the rhythm
is unusually uniform throughout without being
monotonous." It is a truly haunting song. The
way Lata sings "bhool jaana na, door jaana
na, rooth jaana na" — don't forget me,
don't go away, don't be angry with me — is
enough to break the most impervious heart.
