I came across this song long back during my routine browsing. At that time I had not started looking for ‘Films with same title’.
Yes, we already have the film ‘Dharti’ of 1970 on the blog, which has some of my favorite songs. Here is this film of 1946 made with the same title which is making its debut today on the blog with this song.
As per information available this film was directed by Manibhai Vyas and it had Mumtaz Shanti, Trilok Kapoor, Padma Banerji, Vikram Kapoor, Baby Anwari, Sheikh Hussain, Pandit Iqbal, Jugal Kishore, Lakshman, Mustafa, Leela Shinde, and Tipnis.
Lyrics for this film were penned by Pandit Indra and Music was composed by Bulo. C.Rani.
As per information available on myswar.com this film had total eleven songs composed by Bulo C. Rani. Lyrics of all the eleven songs are by Pandit Indra.
singers’ names are available for nine songs there and as per the information given Manna Dey, Hamida Banu, Mohantara Talpade, A.R.Ojha have lent their voices for the songs of this movie.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs please.
(I came across two interesting song titles which is ‘Bambai se chappal laana’ and ‘mohe panghat pe chhed gaye’ which may give us one more ‘Mumbai’ song and a ‘panghat’ song which may not be same as ‘mohe panghat pe’. But we need to explore them. )
Here is the first song from ‘Dharti-1946’ to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Hamida Banu. This is a song that continued to grow on me as I listened to it a few times.
Atul’s note: The tune of the song is reminiscent of a very well known song of that era viz. Maar kataari mar jaana (Shehnaai)(1947).

Lyrics
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Solah saawan beete sukh se ae
Solah saawan beete sukh se
Ab ke saawan bhaari
Ab ke saawan bhaari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari ee
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari ee
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Tum to aaye geet sunan ko
Tum to aaye geet sunan ko
Main to doongi gaari

Sajan mori oonchi ataari ee
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
Baalaapan to o o
Bhoola hamko
Tum bhi bhool na jaana
Baalaapan to o o o o
Bhoola hamko
Tum bhi bhool nah jaana
Aankh macholi khel chuke ab
Aankh macholi khel chuke ab
Aankh se aankh milaaaana

Aaj laaj se bhaari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari ee
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari ee
Phool kali kyun maari
Sajan mori oonchi ataari
