Bichhde hue pardesi lyrics | Lata Mangeshkar | Barsaat | 1949

“Bichhde Hue Pardesi” is a poignant melody from the landmark musical film Barsaat (1949), directed by Raj Kapoor. This song holds significant historical value as it belongs to the album that solidified the legendary collaboration between composers Shankar-Jaikishan, lyricists Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra, and the young Lata Mangeshkar.

The song captures the deep melancholy of a woman pleading for her lover’s return.

Bichhde hue pardesi lyrics :

Bichhade hue paradesi
Bichhade hue paradesi
Ik baar to aanaa tu
Jab aankh milaai hai
Nazare na churaanaa tu
Bichhade hue paradesi

Vaade bhi kie tune
Khaai thi qasam meri
Vaade bhi kie tune
Khaai thi qasam meri
Vaado pe hi jiti hun hai
Aas mujhe teri
Vaado pe hi jiti hun hai
Aas mujhe teri
Itani hai aarzoo meri
Itani hai aarzoo meri
Mujhako na bhulaanaa tu
Jab aankh milaai hai
Nazare na churaanaa tu
Bichhade hue paradesi

Duniyaa mujhe chhine hai
Sabane mujhe gheraa hai
Duniyaa mujhe chhine hai
Sabane mujhe gheraa hai
Aur meri zubaan par to
Bas naam hi teraa hai
Aur meri zubaan par to
Bas naam hi teraa hai
Duniyaa na hanse mujh par
Duniyaa na hanse mujh par
Itanaa na rulaanaa tu
Jab aankh milaai hai
Nazare na churaanaa tu
Bichhade hue paradesi

Gairo kaa na ho jaanaa
Jab apanaa banaayaa hai
Gairo kaa na ho jaanaa
Jab apanaa banaayaa hai
Paas aa ke na kho jaanaa
Jab dil mein basaayaa hai
Paas aa ke na kho jaanaa
Jab dil mein basaayaa hai
Jo baat kahi tune
Jo baat kahi tune
Vo baat nibhaanaa tu
Jab aankh milaai hai
Nazare na churaanaa tu
Bichhade hue paradesi
Bichhade hue paradesi
Ik baar to aanaa tu
Jab aankh milaai hai
Nazare na churaanaa tu
Bichhade hue paradesi.
