chan kithan guzari
Surjit Singh
This Panjabi song was made famous by Pushpa Hans. I am told that
1. Originally the song was in Saraiki
2. A Professor Dinanath sang the original.
Any comments? Urzung?

Yes, one Professor Dinanath has sung it. (I don't know
which version came first.) His version was available on
sdburman.com last year, I think. His full name was Dinanath
Deravi, from Dera-Ghazi-Khan town or Dera-xxxx-Khan
town. (xxxx = Ismail ?)

>town. (xxxx = Ismail ?)
Both these towns are in the Saraiki
speaking belt of Punjab.
S.D.Burman's famous song -
rotey rotey guzar gai raat rey - is
based on this folk song.

I don't know how the lyrics of two songs compare
but the tune of 'rote rote' is quite different from Dinanath
Deravi's 'chan kittha ...' . Has Pushpa Hans sung 'chan
kittha' to the same tune as Prof Dinanath's version or
to a different tune ?

Surjit Singh
Pushpa's version is closer to roe rote.

Nonfilm song from film 'Banjaran'? :)
Actually, the song is from film 'Badnaam'.
Both 'Badnaam' and 'Banjaran' had music
by Deboo Bhattacharji. The latter had the
exquisite Noor Jahan song:
na jaane kaisaa safar hai meraa

You are right Sudhir ji. SM sang this as
a non-film song which became quite
popular and subsequently it was included
in film Badnaam by producer Iqbal Shehzad. Badnaam was a remake of
Jhumke(JK Nanda) based on a story of
Saadat Hasan Manto.
Nani ji, just listen to SM's version.
Sudhir ji, thanks for correction.

Irfan
P.S Deebu did not compose this song

chan kithe/kithaaN is a folk song. To my mind
the question is who recorded it first. I have
heard recordings of this song by:
Master Faiz
Bhai Chhela
Miss Dulari
Prof Dinanath Dervi
Pushpa Chopra/Hans
Surindar Kaur
Suraiya Multanikar
Vidya Nath Seth (not sure)
PDD belonged to Dera Ismail Khan.

Quite interesting discussion on this song. From the various posts it looks
like that Sairaki is a dialect of Punjabi and it is also a region in Punjab
(Now Pakistan or India?). The song is sung by various singers. I had
access to only Pushpa Hans'/Chopra's and Suriyya Multanikar (link provided
by Irfan Sahib. Thanks.). SM's version is a solo, slow paced and very
soothing to the ear. Pushpa's is a chorus. I believe that Rote rote guzar
gai is indeed based on this version and the tune is quite similar too. I
reproduce the wordings of these two versions as they sound to my ears.
Corrections are welcome.
SM's version.
1. Chan kithan guzar hai (or gai) raat ve
Mera hee daleelan vat ve
Chan kithan guazar hai raat ve
Mera hee daleelan vat ve
Chan kithan guzar hai
Is it an accusation, 'Where did you spend the night?' or How do I or you
spend the night in loneliness?
2. Kothe te par kothra te kothe sukda ghaa bhalla
It benayyaian paurian te tussan benaaya raah bhalla
What does Kothe te par kothra mean? A roof over roof? A double storey
house?
Someone made the stairs and you frequented the path ie you visited me often?
3. Kothe te par kothra te kothe sukdi ret bhela
Assan gundiaan median too kahin bahane dekh bhalla
I have dressed my hair in a particular attractive style. Please take a look
on this excuse. Looks like kahin here means 'this'.
4. Kothe te par kothra te kothe sukdi Makai bhalla
Sajan dekhali de gaya main kahin bahane guy bhalla
This one I think means that she could see her lover by chance when she went
out on some excuse..
5. Kothe te par kothra te kothe sukdi ghaa bhalla
Likh likh thuckiian chithian too kahin bahane aa bhela
6. Kothe te par kothra te kothe dekhi heel bhalla
Sandha tendian teri assan te kahin bahane mil bhalla
I do not know what do the words 'heel' 'sandha', 'tendian' mean.
Pushpa's Version:
1.Chan kithan guzari aai raat ve
Mera hee deleean de vaat ve
2. Same as para 3 of SM's version.
3. Kothe the par kothra chan kothe te sandoor bhella
Hansdean hansdean ker gayon kyoon dil noon chankna choor bhalla
And Irfan Sahib has added the following stanza that is not in either one of
these versions.
Sudhir
In fact, not only this but many other folk songs, including Heer, are
beyond many people's comprehension. The melody is good enough
for the listening pleasure and few words, which are familiar (e.g. -
the first line of this song) is the glue, which helps you recall the song.
I don't care what the lyrics are and what they may mean
As far as rendering of the song is concerned, The Pushpa Hans / Chopra
version is much better, even though her voice is marginal.
Suraiya Multanikar has much better singing ability, but the version
listed by Irfan Saheb was recorded in an unprofessional manner - more
like live radio broadcast, and is not worth adding to one's collection.
Sudhir
P.S.: I can not vouch for it, but it seems that in the first line of this song,
Chana Kithan Guzariyia Raat Ve
the girl is asking the man as to 'Where he spent the night' -
something very similar to one of the line in the song:
Hato Kaahe Ko Jhoothi Banao Batiyaan / MANZIL
No comments on whether or not 'Rote Rote Guzar Gayi Raat Re'
is based on this tune or not. However, the Hindi Songs, is
one of the great ones by SachinDa, or may be it is because of
other contributing factors - excellent rendering by Lata, very nice
lyrics and so on.

disappeared into thin air! Unfortunately, I did n’t save what I had
posted but I will have another go.
Firstly, a few explanations:
aa(h)ii = thii [aa(h)aa, thaa etc)
koThaa = house, koThRaa = a small house
vaat = enquiry
piR (or is it pir/par?) = par (But I am not 100% certain)
ghaah = ghaas, kaaN = a crow, haaN = am (huuN)
bhalaa = an interjection meaning something like “good, well”.
baarii = window, torii = toraii (vegetable)

Surinder Kaur had composed it, one would have expected her to use her
own form of Punjabi. The word "aa(h)ii" for the past tense of the verb
"to be" is not part of Lahori Punjabi and Lahore is where she was
born.

I would love to add to this post, but there are few restrains,
primarily from my side
1 I can not figure out the lyrics of a song (Punjabi, as well
as Hindi / Urdu), when
they are written in ITRAAN format
I can read only Hindi script and with little effort normal
English script (the one
used by Record Companies for ther albums and Inlay
cards). For my own
catalog and listing, I use the same format.
If I wish to sing a song for myself, then I write it in HINDI
script. I gave-up this
activity in 1966 or so, but still have the hand-written lyrics
of over 500 songs
The last song I had added was: Hai Bahar-e-Bagh Duniya Chand
Roz / Rafi and
Chorus from: BOMBAY KA CHOR, sone 3-4 years ago
2 The lyrics of many Punjabi Folk songs of late 50's to Early
60's were inspired from
local area's dialect. I am Punjabi and speek excellent
Punjabi (Peshawar area dialect -
similar to that of: Anil Kapoor in film: WOH 7 DIN)
A very large number of cities-dwelling Punjabi-speaking folks
can not understand the
meaning of these songs.
3 We listen to them, primarily for their great rhythm or for
tunes (e.g.: HEER song, rendered
by Asa Singh Mastana)
4 In many of such folk songs, the lyrics of 1st line has no
relationship to the 2nd line.
Only the pitch and rhym is simiar, e.g.
- This song: Bajre Da Sitta ................ Talli
Te Maroriya
Rusda Janda
Gali Vichon Modiya
Kala Doria Kune Adiya Ve
Chhota Devra Ladiya Ve
Sui Ve Sui Tangi
Baari Barsi Khut Ke Liyaya Aaloo
Jugni .....................Ja Ponchi Karnal (or
Jallandhar)
My be for few songs, I would love to know the meaning of individual
words
For complete songs, I would love to learn the meaning of few lines
for following songs
- Jutti Kasoori, Pairi Na Poori (Surender Kaur)
- HEER: Gaya Bhaj Taqdeer De Naal (Asa Singh 'Mastana')
- HEER: Heer Aakhdi Jogiya (.. ditto ..)
- (HEER: Layi Khabar Na Kuchh (.. ditto ..)

If you read my original post, you will see that I have provided a short glossary of one or two words, including "vaat" (enquiry). Also, as a thorough-bred Punjabi like your good self, I do know the meaning of the Punjabi word for pony-tail. I just thought, perhaps, "solah-singaar" might be better understood. In fact in my original post I wrote..
koThe uupar koThRaa ai saajan aur koThe par suukhe ret bhalaa
ham ne guNdhaa'iiN meNDhiyaaN jo tuu kisii bahaane dekh zaraa
Naseer
vij...@gmail.com
I think the word is not piR but the simpler word 'phir'. koThe te phir koThRa, yaani ki aik makaan, aur us ke uupar phir aik aur makaan. yaani ki aik do maNzile makaan ka zikr hai.
This is one of those folk songs where the bulk of the meaning is in the second line, the first one being merely to provide a filler and the rhythm and rhyming pattern. Much like the Panjabi 'Tappe' where, for example, 'do pattar anaaraaN de' is merely the filler for the rhyming pattern. Sometimes it is a line, but it can only be one word, like in the famous 'madhaanyiaaN, haae oi merya DaaDhya rabba, kinnhaN jammiiaaN kinnhaN ne lai jaaniiaaN' where madhaaniiaN does not serve any purpose tham to provide a rhyme woith jaaniiaaN.
