ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
उड़ गयी नींद यहाँ मेरे नैन से
बस करो यूँ ही पड़े रहो चैन से
बस करो यूँ ही पड़े रहो चैन से
लागे रे डर मोहे लागे रे
ओ ओ ओ ये क्या डरने की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सो जा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ हो हो कितनी घूटी सी है ये फ़िज़ा
आ हा हा कितनी सुहानी है ये हवा
ओ हो हो कितनी घूटी सी है ये फ़िज़ा
आ हा हा कितनी सुहानी है ये हवा
मर गये हम निकला दम मर गये हम
ओ ओ ओ मौसम क्या अलबेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
बिन तेरे कैसी अंधेरी ये रात है
दिल मेरा धड़कन मेरी तेरे साथ है
बिन तेरे कैसी अंधेरी ये रात है
दिल मेरा धड़कन मेरी तेरे साथ है
तन्हा है फिर भी दिल तन्हा है
ओ ओ ओ लागा सपनों का मेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की बेला है
ओ ओ ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
ओ ओ ओ सोजा निंदिया की

ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
Come, bird, you are alone
ओ सो जा निंदिया की बेला है
Oh, go to sleep, it's time for bed
उड़ गयी नींद यहाँ मेरे नैन से
Sleep flew away from my eyes
बस करो यूँ ही पड़े रहो चैन से
Just lie down and rest in peace
लागे रे डर मोहे लागे रे
I feel scared, I feel scared
ओ ये क्या डरने की बेला है
Oh, what is this time to be afraid?
कितनी घूटी सी है ये फ़िज़ा
How dark is this atmosphere?
आ हा कितनी सुहानी है ये हवा
Oh, how wonderful is this wind?
मर गये हम निकला दम मर गये हम
I died, I took my last breath and died
ओ मौसम क्या अलबेला है
Oh, what a strange season this is
बिन तेरे कैसी अंधेरी ये रात है
Without you, this night is so dark
दिल मेरा धड़कन मेरी तेरे साथ है
My heart beats with you
तनहा है फिर भी दिल तनहा है
I am alone, yet my heart is lonely
लागा सपनों का मेला है
It feels like a fair of dreams
ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
Come, bird, you are alone
ओ सो जा निंदिया की बेला है
Oh, go to sleep, it's time for bed
ओ आजा पंछी अकेला है
Come, bird, you are alone

पति पत्नी देव आनंद साहब और कल्पना कार्तिक के इस युगल गीत को मैं दशकों से सुन रहा हूं,ऐसा लगता है इस गीत की आवाज और खूबसूरती सदा बरकरार रहेगी।

This soul- seducer of a duet has held me captive since I was a boy and the magic continues its hold on me even with the passing of decades! Nau Do Gyarah was a bonanza of a musical success and a feather in Ashaji's fast expanding cap by the late 50s! Her vocal quality over here is superbly smooth and effortlessly fluent and whenever she sang with Rafi Saab, it was a moment to cherish! Although admittedly partial to this mesmeriser of a song, the remaining three duets- Kali Ke Roop Main Chali Ho Dhoop Main Kahan (with Rafi again!), Aankhon Main Kya Jee (with Kishore) and Kya Ho Din Jo Phir Rangeela Ho (with Geeta Dutt) are none the less enthralling!
