“Khamosh Fasana Hai” is a rare and evocative ensemble track from the 1948 retelling of the legendary folk tale Heer Ranjha. This song is a remarkable vocal tapestry featuring the young “Nightingale of India” Lata Mangeshkar, alongside the soulful Geeta Dutt, G.M. Durrani, and Uma Devi (later famously known as the comedienne Tun Tun).
The music was a collaborative effort by Azeez Khan and the duo Sharmaji-Varmaji (the latter being the early pseudonym for the legendary composer Khayyam). With poetic verses penned by Wali Sahab and inspirations from Amir Khusro, the song captures the essence of “silent storytelling” and the clandestine nature of deep, spiritual love. Released during the foundational years of Lata Mangeshkar’s career, this track highlights a unique moment in 1940s cinema where multiple vocal powerhouses came together to breathe life into one of India’s most iconic romantic tragedies.

Khamosh fasana hai lyrics :
khamosh fasana hai, khamosh fasana hai
duniya se chhup chhup ke
ho duniya se chhup chhup ke baalam ko sunana hai
baalam ko sunana hai
chhoti si kahani hai
chhoti si kahani hai
jinse chhupai thi, chhupai thi
ab unko sunani hai
jinse chhupai thi, chhupai thi
ab unko sunani hai
ab unko sunani hai
kya rog laga ke baithe
haay kya rog laga ke baithe
ankhiya milaate hi, ho balma
hum jaan gava baithe
ankhiya milaate hi, ho balma
hum jaan gava baithe
hum jaan gava baithe
ye rog nirala hai
ye rog nirala hai
jaano jigar deke, ho sajni
is rog ko paala hai
jaano jigar deke, ho sajni
is rog ko paala hai
is rog ko paala hai
ab kis ki dua maangu
ab kis ki dua maangu
mil gaye jab tumhi hi
ab aur mai kya maangu
mil gaye jab tumhi hi
ab aur mai kya maangu
dono ka bhala maango
dono ka bhala maango
sath rahe hum tum, rahe hum tum
bas itni dua maango
sath rahe hum tum, rahe hum tum
bas itni dua maango
bas itni dua maango
