Comments for song "Saba Se Yeh Kah Do"
jasiddiqi on Thursday, February 12, 2009
Excellent! Well done, I really appreciate it, it's very hard work doing this sort of thing. Only a truly dedicated fan could do it. Audio much improved and even the picture looks better now. Apart from the excellent Urdu poetry, what I really liked about this song is Asha Bhonsle's very special expression. True, Madan Mohan always preferred Lata over Asha, but whenever Asha sang for Mohan, it became something very special, don't you agree?

srazdan on Friday, February 13, 2009
Great job! Thanks for sharing.

bemused321 on Friday, February 13, 2009
It is my pleasure to share it especially with you because I found out about this song from your posting it on YouTube. So Thank you!

chamogaa on Saturday, February 21, 2009
You said it all. There is no need for me to add any words except to say I fully agree with you.

vivedsen on Sunday, February 22, 2009
hi, many thanks for this song, this is indeed a real treasure of Indian music.

sonalib1 on Sunday, February 22, 2009
this is one of my all time favourites! thanks for this one!

bemused321 on Sunday, February 22, 2009
To sonalib1 and vivedsen: You're welcome!
I somehow believed that Lata sang all of the great female sentimental solos for Madan Mohan. So, I wasn't even looking for any such Asha/MM songs. Also, I had not heard of the film Bank Manager. I happened to uncover Saba Se through serendipity.

Just as a trivia, Madan Mohan has given music to Bank Manager, Chowkidar, Inspector Eagle, Jailor, Khazanchi, Minister, Pocketmaar, and Sultana Daku... is there a pattern here??

bemused321 on Saturday, March 07, 2009
additional comments received from jasiddiqi:

"Saba" is Persian for "fragrant breeze" -- in other words, literally,
"Tell the fragrant breeze to spread a carpet of buds, the one who is the life and soul of Spring is about to arrive."
That's a bit clumsy -- translations usually are -- but this idea of expectation is very important in Urdu/Persian poetry and is celebrated more than the actual arrival. The imminent arrival is where the real joy lies.

bemused321 on Saturday, March 07, 2009
Addional comments from jasiddiqi:

"You will also find this kind of tradition in mediaeval Hindi poetry, especially certain kinds of thumris, where the preparations for the beloved's arrival are more important than the arrival itself: the getting the house ready, "sringar", getting dressed up, etc. There's that famous old thumri: "chundri main dhari aaoon, gagri main bhari laaoon, main to kar aaoon sola singaar re, thaare rahiyo." A famous thumri from the Lucknow gharana of kathak."

saudaee on Sunday, June 21, 2009
Yes, how some of the older songs are erotic without showing any flesh and not even touching.just lovely

GyanFavoriteSongs on Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Very well explained :-)
Thanks for the Song!!

Rmehtacpa on Saturday, November 28, 2009
What a GAZAL. ".Ye rangeen fasana koi mujshe puchhe ke tu kitna pyara tu kitna hasin hai, suna tha hasin dil pe karte hain jadoo, tujhe dekhkar etbar aa raha hai...

bina1rani on Sunday, January 03, 2010
an amazingly beautiful and amorous song..and sung
to perfection by the great asha ji..i can keep on listening to it.

aurelius210 on Friday, January 29, 2010
I cannot thank you enough for posting this gem of a ghazal.

MrAtulshah on Wednesday, March 03, 2010
after going through the movie names u have mentioned i can say with confidence that this great music director never got his due recognition for his invaluable contribution to the music industry this reminds me of gurudutt and his kaagaz ke phool movie incredible similarites.

durlabhpkolhe on Thursday, April 15, 2010
best song by asha and madan mohan for film bank manager.

010904050 on Wednesday, May 19, 2010
What I learned is "son't even try to translate an Indian poetry (Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati or any other) to English". Once my son asked me why was I so much excited about the Ghazal "Zindagi mein to sabhi pyar kiya karte hein, main to mar kar bhi meri jaan tujhe chahunga". I told him what each stanza meant, he was not impressed, in fact, he almost ridiculed me.

jasbongy on Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Very beautiful song .sung very beautifully by Asha ji. Thanks ''Possitive
Viberations.'' Bharat ji i salute you for presenting this song from
divinity point of view with excellent video presentation. Om Shanti. . With
Respect. Sarla.

Bharat Desai on Thursday, May 27, 2010
Certain songs keep you chasing. This one being MM creation & my fav.
suudenly sounded Divine two days back. The result is in your hands. Look
for it & we will find it, The Divinity. Thanks for your ever nice response
& praise. which actually goes to ONE. Om Shanti.

Bharat Desai on Thursday, May 27, 2010
Yes, Niru, Asha ji has sung some Ghazals in olden days which very few
people know. The Lyrics here are really meaningful. Thanks for response.

Ramesh Rawat on Thursday, May 27, 2010
you just reminded this long before heard beautiful song Bhai. and nice
compilation of images too. regards and love rr

Bharat Desai on Thursday, May 27, 2010
Asha ji's one of the finest ghazals, she sang some beauties for MM. Thanks
for your response, Bhai.

Neena Sharma on Thursday, May 27, 2010
Excellent haunting melody of Aashaji combined with meaningful divine
Purity ! Salutations to our venerable Shiv Baba nd his Lovely children !!

Bharat Desai on Thursday, May 27, 2010
Many a times I respond in Murli Class that when we look back we find that
we got help at every stage in life without our realising it then & even
before coming into Gyan. So we were special then & are special now to see
Divinity & Positivity in all conditions. Thanks for excellent Divine
response, Neena ji. Om Shanti.

Bharat Desai on Saturday, June 05, 2010
સાહેબો નો સાહેબ તો એક જ છે, તેમની યાદ માં રહો તો ઘણો ઉદ્ધાર થાય સૌ નો. Tia,
your response is always unique & true. Thank you for such a nice
understanding & reading of my upload. Love & Wishes.

songsof50to70s on Saturday, July 31, 2010
great song. i m interested in old duet by Mukesh & Lata. but forgot 1st line. 2nd line is something like ..." yeh tha badlon ne ghera yeh to sada rahega tera kaun cheenega tujhse tere chand ko". will some bodey be kind enough to upload it,

tdch88 on Sunday, August 15, 2010
May be the majority of the folks may not agree. But somehow I find Asha and Geeta Dutt to be more sensual and expressive than Lata. They ought to have reached higher places.

ramils on Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Great song and Nice work done bemused321...!!! Thanks fro uploading it.. Its one of my fav songs

ramils on Wednesday, September 15, 2010
@010904050 : Ha Ha Ha.. I can imagine that. Sometimes I sing to myself in my office in USA and people ask me to translate it... I just dont it because it doesnt come out the way it was writen.. No fun at all. English is a very limited language compared to Hidi/Urdu/Persian and other old languages and their vocab.

010904050 on Thursday, September 16, 2010
@ramils Glad, I'm not alone, others have similar experiences.

abybaby02 on Wednesday, November 24, 2010
thank you so much... wonderful song...my parents got me listening to this song.brilliant...and a heartfelt thanks for all the effort you have put in so all AS fans can listen to this beautiful number...is there anywhere can find its mp3 for download do u know??...thanks neways

swapnakanitkar on Monday, December 06, 2010
I love this song for it's lyrics and Asha Bhosale. I used to listen to this song as a child on radio. I didn't know it was stored somewhere in my phone. I was sooooo happy to find it today that I listened to it for 5 times and thought of searching it on youtube.
Thanks a lot for posting this.

pankyaomatic on Sunday, December 12, 2010
Had listened to it just once on Radio loved it then but then never got a chance to listen to it or find it and this was 20 yrs ago :o). stumbled on this yesterday by chance when listening to Asha's marathi PL, it had a Madan Mohan group of songs- been listening to Saba se non-stop since yesterday...thanks a TON!!!!

010904050 on Sunday, February 13, 2011
I remember lstening to this wonderful song every day on Vividh Bharti during my high school days. I never knew what "Shaba" meant till much later! Still one of my favorite songs. Thanks for the upload.

dunnowhat20 on Saturday, February 26, 2011
@bemused321 I love ash's style of rendition & her voice. In my opinion this is not only one of the best hindi song fro the movie or otherwise, but this is the BEST song Asha Ji has EVER sung, & I don't think she can out do herself when compared with this one...this is what I consider the audio bliss...the perfect blend of poetry, melody, rhythm, composition, rendition, voice, feeling.cannot get any better.

Coucoutchicou on Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Asha has sung so many absolutely fantastic songs that it would be an error to single out any one song as her best - if only because I doubt that anyone has actually achieved the feat of hearing all that she has sung!!
By the way, would anyone have another masterpiece by her sung for Madan Mohan (I think its also for Bank Manager) : Dil shaam sé Dhalta jaata hei, Raat ayegi toh kya hoga?

Coucoutchicou on Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Sorry, it's Dooba and not Dhalta...

Srinivasan Channiga on Tuesday, March 15, 2011
The tune appears to have been lifted By Madanji from 'Dhal thi jaye ' of
Nau Do Gyarah(1957).

Bharat Desai on Tuesday, March 15, 2011
@srinivasanchanniga Does it make any difference?

Srinivasan Channiga on Thursday, March 17, 2011
Of course may not. Both are excellent.

Bharat Desai on Thursday, March 17, 2011
You are very humble. Wishes.

Bharat Desai on Sunday, December 18, 2011
@Wajahatization GREAT INPUT. So you should also have Shairana talent.

Vasantha Ramanathan on Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Bharat Desai on Wednesday, January 18, 2012
@VasanthaRamanathan When Karan Karaawanhar is ShivBaba, there is no doubt
that these songs reach to many untouched areas. Om Shanti, Didi.
