Sawan Ke Jhoole Pade Hain

Jurmana – Sawan Ke Jhoole Pade Hain There some songs that appear twice in a Hindi film. Its either a happy and a sad version or sung solo by different artists. Some of RD Burman's such songs are- Mere Naina Sawan Bhado - Lata and Kishore Hamein Tumse Pyar Kitna - Parveen Sultana and Kishore Chandni Re Jhoom - Lata and Kishore Hum Bewafaa - Kishore (happy & sad versions) Tum Bin Jau Kaha - Rafi & Kishore Yaadon Ki Baarat - Lata and Rafi-Kishore There just too  many. One such song in this list is Sawan Ke Jhoole Pade Hain sung by Lata Mangeshkar and penned by Anand Bakshi for Jurmana (1979). Set in Raag Pahaadi, the faster version has a 7 beat Rupak Taal (somewhat like the beats of Chupke chupke Chal ri Puraviayya).  The slower version has a minimalist and simple music setup. The interesting part about this song is that, the Mukhda of this song does not have a rhyme scheme. Those are plain Hindi words like a sentence – “ सावन के झूले पड़े, तुम चले आओ” T
