“Hamara Ghar Ban Jaye Mehlon Se” is a rare and nostalgic ensemble track from the 1948 film Mere Lal. This song is historically significant as it features an early-career collaboration between two legendary icons, Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi, alongside singers Mohantara Talpade and Purushottam.

The song was composed by Purushottam, who also served as the film’s music director, with heartfelt and imaginative lyrics penned by Mahipal. This melody serves as a beautiful “dream song,” where the protagonists envision a home filled with light and joy that surpasses even the grandest of palaces. At a time when both Lata and Rafi were just beginning to establish their dominance in the industry, this track captures the purity and emerging brilliance of the two voices that would eventually define the “Golden Era” of Indian cinema.

Hamara ghar ban jaye mehlon se lyrics : 

hamara ghar hamara ghar
ban jaye ban jaye
mahlo se pyara sundar
hamara ghar hamara ghar
ban jaye ban jaye
mahlo se pyara sundar

dil ko lubhane wala ho
dil ko lubhane wala ho
sone ke sanche me dhala ho
sone ke sanche me dhala ho
salona sajila suhana shohar
salona sajila suhana shohar
hamara ghar hamara ghar
ban jaye ban jaye
mahlo se pyara sundar

unche gharo se jhake, gharo se jhake
gharo se jhake
chup chup has has hilmil
chup chup has has hilmil
haye aakash pe haye badal pe
haye aakash pe apni najar
na sitaro ki odhe chunar
hamara ghar hamara ghar
ban jaye ban jaye
mahlo se pyara sundar

bake hindole dole dolenge dolenge
pran me mehfil ke
sara jag ujiyala ho
cham cham chamaacham wala ho
ujiyala ho chamaacham wala ho
nachenge kirno ki pariya utar
nachenge kirno ki pariya utar
hamara ghar hamara ghar
ban jaye ban jaye
mahlo se pyara sundar
