मेरे जीवन में आई बहार

The second duet credited to Din Raat's two leads, listed in Hindi Film Geet Kosh and on hindigeetmala with Snehprabha Pradhan and Paresh Bannerjee as the singers, Santokh Nadim as lyricist and Dada Chandekar as composer. No recording has surfaced, so the song exists today only as an entry in the catalogue. Its title places it in the bahaar convention — the beloved's arrival described as the turning of a season — which was one of the most heavily used lyrical frames in 1940s Hindi film music.

No audio of this song is known to circulate, so its melody and arrangement cannot be described. It was written by Dada Chandekar for the same production and the same pair of voices as 'Kaahe Ko Nain Milaye', which survives — a light-classical duet led by harmonium and tabla, with the two singers alternating lines rather than harmonising, in the standard mid-1940s Bombay manner. Whether this number followed the same shape can only be inferred, not stated.

The verses have not survived in any accessible source and cannot be reported. The title works within one of the most durable images in Hindi film lyric: bahaar, the spring, standing in for the arrival of love, so that an interior emotional change is reported as an external change of weather. The construction 'mere jeevan mein aayi bahaar' — spring has come into my life — is an announcement rather than a plea, which distinguishes it from the film's other surviving numbers, all of which are either asking for something or complaining that it was withheld. Beyond that, nothing about Santokh Nadim's text for this song can be established.

Din Raat was a social drama for Navyug Chitrapat Ltd., directed by Shori Daulatavi, with Snehprabha Pradhan and Paresh Bannerjee in the lead and Sulochana Chatterjee, Vasant Thengdi, Feroza and Dar Kashmiri in support. Hindi Film Geet Kosh assigns this duet to the two leads, consistent with the film's practice of using its own actor-singers rather than hired playback voices for the romantic numbers, while bringing in Rajkumari for two others. Where the song sat in the narrative is unknown; no synopsis of the film has been recovered.

This is one of the four Din Raat songs whose audio has never resurfaced. Of the film's eight numbers, four have been recovered and documented online between 2013 and 2025; the remaining four, including this duet, exist only in Hindi Film Geet Kosh and the listings derived from it. Keeping the unheard four in the record alongside the heard four is what makes the soundtrack legible as a whole rather than as a handful of survivals.
