Lyrics of Saba Se Yeh Kah Do - सबा से ये कह दो
sabaa se ye kah do ke kaliyaan bichhaae
vo dekho, vo jaan-e-bahaar aa rahaa hai
churaa le gayaa jo in aankho ki ninde
vahi leke dil kaa qaraar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do

ye kaun aa gayaa dil ko kartaa ishaare
ke mahki fazaa, muskuraae nazaare
qadam badhke tu chum le ai mohabbat
ke dil ko bahut, unpe pyaar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do ke kaliyaan bichhaae
vo dekho, vo jaan-e-bahaar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do

ye maanaa ke mahafil me ajaan hai tu
magar jab bhi tujhse nigaahe mili hai
mujhe ye lagaa hai payaam-e-mohabbat
nazar se teri baar-baar aa raha hai
sabaa se ye kah do ke kaliyaan bichhaae
vo dekho, vo jaan-e-bahaar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do

ye rangin fasaanaa koi mujhse puchhe
ke tu kaisaa pyara hai kitnaa hasi hai
sunaa thaa hasi jinpe karte hai jaadu
tujhe dekhkar aitbaar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do ke kaliyaan bichhaae
vo dekho, vo jaan-e-bahaar aa rahaa hai
sabaa se ye kah do

Sorry, it's Dooba and not Dhalta...

Asha has sung so many absolutely fantastic songs that it would be an error to single out any one song as her best - if only because I doubt that anyone has actually achieved the feat of hearing all that she has sung!!
By the way, would anyone have another masterpiece by her sung for Madan Mohan (I think its also for Bank Manager) : Dil shaam sé Dooba jaata hei, Raat ayegi toh kya hoga?

What a GAZAL. ".Ye rangeen fasana koi mujshe puchhe ke tu kitna pyara tu kitna hasin hai, suna tha hasin dil pe karte hain jadoo, tujhe dekhkar etbar aa raha hai...

Addional comments from jasiddiqi:

"You will also find this kind of tradition in mediaeval Hindi poetry, especially certain kinds of thumris, where the preparations for the beloved's arrival are more important than the arrival itself: the getting the house ready, "sringar", getting dressed up, etc. There's that famous old thumri: "chundri main dhari aaoon, gagri main bhari laaoon, main to kar aaoon sola singaar re, thaare rahiyo." A famous thumri from the Lucknow gharana of kathak."

To sonalib1 and vivedsen: You're welcome!
I somehow believed that Lata sang all of the great female sentimental solos for Madan Mohan. So, I wasn't even looking for any such Asha/MM songs. Also, I had not heard of the film Bank Manager. I happened to uncover Saba Se through serendipity.

Just as a trivia, Madan Mohan has given music to Bank Manager, Chowkidar, Inspector Eagle, Jailor, Khazanchi, Minister, Pocketmaar, and Sultana Daku... is there a pattern here??
