Abhi Na Jaao Chhodkar - Duet with Satheesh Nair

Abhi Na Jaao Chhodkar - Due... Lyrics & Chords

The Year 2011 has been testimony to the loss of so many great musicians and actors… It is really sad that Indian Cinema is left behind with a bigger void with the demise of Dev Anand.

I join Satheesh-ettan in offering a tribute to our departed Evergreen charming Hero of Indian cinema, Dev AnandJi. To our minds, he will always remain the Sweet, charismatic, romantic hero, serenading his lady love with the most melodious compositions ever heard on screen. My list of favs of his songs are endless, in fact, I think some of the most Nashila numbers sung by Rafi Saab were for Dev Anandji.
He was known to have a never-fail positive attitude and a matchless zest for Life and Art.

Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar, ke dil abhi bhara nahin…
aap Zindagi ka saath nibhate, har Fikre ko dhue mein udhate chale gaye…
Khoya Khoya Chaand Khula Aasmaan
Tere Mere Sapne Ab Ek rang hai…

May your soul rest in Eternal Peace, Dear Dev Anandji.
Satheesh has sung this with oodles of feel and spirit (think this was his best I’ve heard), and I absolutely relished singing this timeless immortal melody with him. At your leisure, please listen to our humble tribute to one of my fav actors.

Movie: Hum Dono (1961) Hum Dono was also produced by Dev Anand and Navketan films.
Music: Jaidev
Artist(s): Asha Bhosle, Mohammad Rafi
Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi
Cover by: Satheesh Kumar Nair, Sudha Kumar
Mix: Satheesh

BTW My fav songs of Dev saab

Khoya Khoya chand
Gaatha rahe mera dil
Chudhi nahi hai mera dil hai

Wow…. What a song pick to commemorate the memory of a great man.
Wonderful rendition by you two – great genius singers… Satheesh and Sudha!
I am really short of words and adjectives to praise your singing (and feel ashamed to be singing around here in the midst of maestros like you…)
God bless you.

Satheesh and Sudha….!!!!! BRILLIANT Singing by both of you….!!!! Great Tribute….

This is one song I have been trying to sing since long …but am not satisfied with the kind of output from me… A real tough number which sounds very easy… Great effort by you both Satheesh and Sudha…

Satheesh… You were excellent in your style and expressions… The step “Thodi der …” was awesome…(1.08-1.09)… This song requires tremendous breath control…you have sung it with great ease for which I envy you.!!! Just felt a need for little more clarity in harkats at a very few places like at ‘Dil Abhi…’(0.12) , ‘Bhara nahin…’ (0.14), again at ‘dil Abhi…’(0.19-0.20), ‘kahaa nahin …’ (1.20-1.22)…These are not major anyway…

Sudha…I just am amazed at the perfection with which you have rendered your portions…!!! Awesome… perfect on the harkats, brilliant expressions and great voice…!!! The naughtiness is coming out extremely well…

To my favs …

‘Abhi Na Javo’ ranks IMHO, in the top10 duets of all time. So a really great pick!

It is really incredible that you managed to collaborate on a duet in such a short time!

I agree with Sudha that perhaps this is Satheesh’s best, and he is fast turning into one of my favorite singers here on Muziboo!

Sudha, you have also complimented really well here incorporating all the ‘Asha’ stylings. Actually this song is more tough for the female singer and you have sung the ‘higher register’ part of the song with consummate ease!

Sudha and Satheesh,

What an absolute treat this is for the ears…….I was trully mesmerized while listening….

Sudha, the ease with which you transcended notes was remarkable……and the shoukhi of Asha’s nuances was well captured…….wonderful…

Satheesh was fantastic with all the modulations and harkats……brilliant singing……I believe SPB would have sung the same way…

I am truly sad that this cover had to come out as a tribute to the most handsome hero who bestowed visual cognition to most of the most sweet songs of Rafi saab…. My only consolation is, I am fortunate enough to do this with Sudha, One of the best six in Muziboo…been wanting to do a duet with her for long, she being a busy bee couldnt find a slot, now i am somewhat happily sad at last…. Thank you very much, Sudha….AND AT MOST OF THE PLACES YOU WERE JUST LIKE ASHAJI……!!! NO KIDDING….

Satheesh Sir and Sudha Ji, wonderful song pick and one of the rare gems by Rafi Saab and Dev Sahab.

Very sad to hear Dev saab leaving us all but I am happy for the fact that he lived a full and great life. We will all miss him a lot. May his soul rest in peace.

Coming to your singing, you both are so powerful singers in your parts. Satheesh Sir, great imitation of Rafi Saab’s version and your voice is to die for:) Sudha Ji, you are just mindblowing with those subtle harkats. Great expressions in the voice too.

Thanks so much dear friends for listening to our tribute to Dev Anand Saab. Actually when Satheesh approached me, I was only going to record it after my class but after hearing the news, hastened and finished it off last Sunday.
@Satheesh, It is my honor to be singing with you – one of the finest singers here with an amazing baritone voice texture.
Thanks to each and every one of you for your detailed appreciative f/bs, likes and favs. My part in this song was small, Satheesh made it truly worth listening.

What an amazing pick for Dev Anand Ji’s Tribute. Nothing else to say or write about this song, super singing, so effective and well presented. Congratulations to both of you. Satheesh you have a God gifted voice I always admire and get mesmerized. Sudha is also at her best. Loved your “Aisa Silsila Nahi”.

My best line in this song is:
“Agar main Ruk Gayi Abhi Tu Ja Na Paoongi Kabhi” a concept that is so hard to explain folks in the Western Hemisphere.

Will listen again….each and every word is already embossed in my head.

Awesome guys!
Dil abhi bhara nahin. Surely 4.38 mins is too less. I wished it played much longer.
Satheesh – Brilliant vocals. Such an effortless singing on this difficult song. Rafi sahab had punjabi touch on certain words such as ‘ban’ in ‘Bahaar ban ke’ and you sang that in similar fashion. That shows how minutely you followed the legend.
Sudha – Another brilliant performance. Very expressive. Those were the times when female singers were also singing in the same octave which was at time very high for female singers. This is one such songs and you did a fab job.
