baabul moraa, naihar chhuuTo hii jaae (Bhairavi)

film{Street Singer} starring{Saigal} music{R C Boral} lyrics{Waajid Ali Shah}

Contributor: David Windsor david.windsor@anu.edu.au  Transliterator: Rajiv Shridhar rajiv@hendrix.coe.neu.edu Credits: Balaji A.S. Murthy fj076@cleveland.freenet.edu  Date: 03/15/1996

Comments: Although Saigal pronounces naihar with “na + a + (small) i

+ ha + ra”, this is written as “na + ai + ha + ra” and pronounced correctly as sung by Saigal in the song.  — Rajiv

A second rendition of this song is in the film Aavishkaar sung by Jagjit & Chitra Singh. The orchestral arrangement is significantly different, but the basic tune is the same. The Music Director for Aavishkaar is Kanu Roy – Vijay

(Comment of Mr Hem Jain 'Collector' of Classic Film Music : Saigal & Kanan Devi sang several songs in movies. These Duets were never issued on Discs as "Duets"because Saigal and Kanan Devi were having life long contracts with two different Record companies namely Hindustan Records & Megaphone Records respectively. 

Hindustan Record Company could get only two famous Saigal solos- "Babul Mora Naihar" & Jeevan Been Madhur Na Baje", though in the film 'Babul Mora Naihar" was also sung as KananDevi solo with a different tune, which was never issued on Disc.)
