Utsav – Saanj Dhale Gagan Tale Ham Kitane Yekakee Song Lyrics

Utsav is an adaptation of a Sanskrit play “Daridra-Charudatta” by Bhasa set during the 2nd Century CE. The film was directed by Girish Karnad and produced by Shashi Kapoor. It starred Rekha, Shekhar Suman, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Anuradha Patel, Amjad Khan, and Shashi Kapoor in lead roles. Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music in the film is still praised. The duet song “Mann Kyun Behka re Behka Aadhi Raat Ko…” by Asha Bhonsle and Lata Mangeshkar is a great example of the prowess of Indian classical music.

Song: Saanj Dhale Gagan Tale Ham Kitane Yekakee

Lyrics

Saanj dhale gagan tale ham kitane yekakee
Chhod chale naino ko kirano ke paakhee

Patee kee jalee se, jhaank rahee thee kaliya
Gandh bhare gun gun me, magan huyee thee kaliya
Itane me timir dhasa, sapanile naino me
Kaliyo ke aansu kaa, koyee nahee saathee

Juganu kaa pat odhe, aayegee raat abhee
Nishigandha ke sur me, kah degee baat sabhee
Tapata hain man jaise, daalee anbuwa keesuresh wadkar
