The DeSh(amsh)admired Begum and Lata

Now that the door has opened, let us continue to welcome Baiju Bawra’s raga-based songs, which have been mesmerising Hindi film music aficionados across this Desh since 1952.

Door Koi Gaaye, Dhun Yeh Sunaaye, Tere Bin Chhaliya Re, Baaje Na Muraliya Re – which means, “Someone sings from afar and makes you listen to his tune. Without you, O trickster, the flute doesn’t play” – was sung by Shamshad Begum, Lata Mangeshkar and a chorus.

The song, which was penned by Shakeel Badayuni and composed by Naushad, would be incomplete without mentioning Mohammed Rafi’s Ho Ji Ho.
