“Ab Mera Kaun Sahara” is a soulful gem from the iconic 1949 musical Barsaat. Directed by Raj Kapoor, this film was a turning point in Indian cinema, establishing the legendary musical team of Shankar-Jaikishan, Lata Mangeshkar, and lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri. The song is a masterful expression of heartbreak and helplessness, picturized on Nimmi in her debut role. The haunting melody and Lata’s youthful, emotive voice helped define the “Barsaat” sound—a blend of deep melancholy and orchestral richness that dominated the 1950s.

Ab mera kaun sahara lyrics :

Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Mere balam
Mere balam
Mujhko na bhulana
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara

Tujhse bichhadkar door hui
Milne se majboor hui
Tujhse bichhadkar door hui
Milne se majboor hui
Ro ro ke dil ne tujhko pukara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara

Tujhse milan ki aas lagi
Naina ras ki pyas lagi
Tujhse milan ki aas lagi
Naina ras ki pyas lagi
Mujhko hai tera gam bhi pyara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara

Pankh lage udd jaaun main
Lekin kaise aaun main
Pankh lage udd jaaun main
Lekin kaise aaun main
Bebas hui kismat ne mara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara
Ab mera kaun sahara.
