Here is the tenth song from “Lekh”(1949) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Krishn Dayal.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle in a singing style prevalent in those days which was much different from her trademark singing style that she would later develop .

Lyrics
o baabu
o baabu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
o baabu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
koi sang rahe preetam ke
koi sang rahe preetam ke
koi rahe akela
o baabu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
yahi roopsi(?0 pyaar ki aankhen (?)
tu kyun aankh churaaye
yahi roopsi(?) pyaar ki aankhen (?)
tu kyun aankh churaaye
ye jaadu ka khel hai baabu
jo maange mil jaaye
ye jaadu ka khel hai baabu
jo maange mil jaaye
har panchhi ne saathi dhoondha
tu kyun ude akela
har panchhi ne saathi dhoondha
tu kyun ude akela
o babu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
o babu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
aakar chale na jaayen raaja
chale na jaayen raaja
pyaar ke din rangeele
aakar chale na jaayen raaja
chale na jaayen raaja
pyaar ke din rangeele
dilwaalon ko mile mohabbat
khade rahe sharmeele
dilwaalon ko mile mohabbat
khade rahe sharmeele
roop(?) se aankh churaane waale
kis jogi ka chela
roop(?) se aankh churaane waale
kis jogi ka chela
o baabu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela
o baabu
aabaad rahega duniya ka ye mela

Atulji,
Missing words of the fist lines are
mili roop se pyaar ki aankhen
tu kyun aankh churaaye
trying to get other missing words…
roop se aankh churaane waale
kis jogi ka chela …. sounds right.
Ashaji’s voice is hard to recognize as she sounds more like Geetaji.
Regards
