There are many songs that I heard as a kid, could never forget, got haunted by them, and couldn’t find them till the GOD made The Web. The charitraheen title track was one of them. Its time for another one of those illusive treasures.
For this song, it’s not just music that haunted me, but also its situation in the movie. Its from a 1988 movie called Trishagni, featuring Nitish Bhardwaj, Pallavi Joshi, Nana Patekar, and Alok Nath. If you appreciate good cinema, this one is a must watch. And about the song, here are the lyrics:
ऐसा लगे,
कहीं दूर पे,
हर पल कोई, मुझको बुलाए ।
अनजान से,
पर्वत तले,
झरना छलके मन को लुभाए ।
मरुभूमी की,
इस रेत से,
देखो मेरी क्या हुई दशा ।
कभी तन मेरा,
जलने लगा,
कभी मन मेरा शीतल हुआ ।
कहता है यह,
मेरा हृदय,
नदिया जैसी बहती रहो।
मन के मधुर,
इस वेग की,
अब तो कोई सीमा न हो ।
अनजान से,
पर्वत तले,
झरना छलके मन को लुभाए ।
ऐसा लगे,
कहीं दूर पे,
हर पल कोई, मुझको बुलाए ।

Updated February 25th, 2011: Another place where you can find this song:
Hi! Just bumped on this blog & realized that u have mentioned the same feelings for this movie & the song that i had for years. Then going through your blog i realized that you are the same Nikhilesh from orkut’s ODS community. I doubt if u remember me though.
Long back I had downloaded this song (& many other rare gem’s of Salil Chaudhary)from this same very site. You can find it on YT where i posted it a few months back.
🙂 Ya Shantanu, I remember you. Yes I know it is heartening to find others who feel so much like you. Probably that’s why the communities were so hit then. Thanks for the upload. And keep checking the place! 🙂
