او میرے مانْجھی

o mere maaNjhii (Hindi: ओ मेरे माँझी, Urdu: او مَیرے مانْجھی) "Oh, my boatman", also known as o mere maajhii mere sajaan hai us paar "Oh, my boatman, my beloved is on the other side / on the opposite shore", is a song created in 1963 for the Bollywood film "Bandini" ("prisoner", a term that is repeated in the song).

In the film's climactic scene, the protagonist Kalyani (Nutan) is torn between starting a new life with Deven (Dharmendra), a prison doctor who had helped her while she was incarcerated, and her old, ill lover, Bikash (Ashok Kumar), who desperately needs her.

The lyrics of the song concerning the boatman (maaNjhii) become literal because Bikash is about to board a boat, forcing her decision.

During the scene, the song is introduced naturally into the film, sung by a mendicant singer who is performing to entertain customers at a tea house near the dock. As the song is heard in the background, the audience understands that it reflects Kalyani's inner conflict.

The music for the song was composed by S.D. Burman, who is also the singer. And the lyrics were written by Shailendra.
