“Gori Sakhiyon Se” is a delightful and rhythmic gem from the 1948 film Majboor, featuring a rare and harmonious vocal pairing of Lata Mangeshkar and Geeta Dutt. This track captures a playful conversation between friends, blending the youthful charm of two legendary voices that would soon become the pillars of the Indian playback industry.

The song was composed by the influential Master Ghulam Haider, who famously championed Lata Mangeshkar’s career and is credited with modernizing the sound of film music in the 1940s. With spirited lyrics by Nazim Panipati, the melody follows a “saheli” (friendship) theme, teasing a shy bride-to-be about her longing for her beloved. As an early collaboration between the “Queen of Melody” and the “Nightingale of Bengal,” this song remains a significant piece of musical history, showcasing the incredible talent that defined the transition into the Golden Age of cinema.

Gori sakhiyon se lyrics :

Gori sakhiyo se
Gori sakhiyo se ankhiya churai rahi re
Sajan ki yad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re

Gori sakhiyo se ankhiya churai rahi re
Sajan ki yad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re

Sajan se aankh ladi
Soche ghadi ghadi o khadi khadi
Sajan se aankh ladi
Soche ghadi ghadi o khadi khadi
Chhota sa dil kyu jalaye rahi re
Mera chota sa dil kyu jalaye rahi re
Sajan ki yad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re
Meri ja bol bol bol bol bol bol

Tu bhi kab tak rahegi kuwari sakhi
Haye mai wari sakhi
Tu bhi kab tak rahegi kuwari sakhi
Haye mai wari sakhi
Kal ko aayegi teri bhi bari sakhi
Haye mai wari sakhi
Kal ko aayegi teri bhi bari sakhi
Haye mai wari sakhi
O ri chori chori gori gori
Tujhe chuke jawani bulaye rahi re
Sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re
Meri ja bol bol bol
Bol bol bol

Lage na iska jiya kahde
Haye piya piya piya
Lage na iska jiya kahde
Haye piya piya piya
Ankhiyo mein jee ko basaye rahi re
Ankhiyo mein jee ko basaye rahi re
Sajan ki yad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re
Gori sakhiyo se ankhiya churai rahi re
Sajan ki yad ise aaye rahi re
Ha ha sajan ki yaad ise aaye rahi re.
