Day 273: Today's song is Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya by Geeta Dutt - Do Bhai (1947)

It is day 273 and today's song is Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya sung by Geeta Dutt from the 1947 movie Do Bhai directed by Munshi Dil. Music composed by S.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan.

Raag: Bilawal

Taal: Kaherava

I love Geeta Di. even though she is way way before my time, she has been instrumental in my learning Bollywood songs. And S.D. Burman dadoo, is THE best music composer of all time in Bollywood, IMHO.

I do not know anything about this movie. I don't think I saw it. Not sure even if I can find a copy to watch.

1947 was the year India got it's independence from the British rule. So this movie is old old old. 75 years old. But it seems to be a mostly unanimous agreement with Indian people that old Hindi movie songs were the best ever, and nothing like that was and is ever produced since.

Here is a newer rendition with lyrical video (posted on Jan 23, 2026):

Anyways, here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on Mar 01, 2022):

Lyrics:

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya,

Mai prem me sab kuchh har gayi

Bedard zamana jeet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Kyun kali badariya chhayi hai,

Kyun kali kali muskayi hai

Kyun kali badariya chhayi hai,

Kyun kali kali muskayi hai

Meri prem kahani khatm huyi,

Mere jivan kaa sangeet gaya

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

O chhod ke janewale aa,

Dil tod ke janewale aa

O chhod ke janewale aa,

Dil tod ke janewale aa

Aankhe aansuan mein

Doob gayi, doob gayi

Aankhe aansuan mein doob gayi

Hansne kaa zamana beet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Har raat meri diwali thi,

Mai piya ki hone wali thi

Har raat meri diwali thi,

Mai piya ki hone wali thi

Iss jivan ko abb aag lage, aag lage

Iss jivan ko abb aag lage

Mujhe chhodke jivan meet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Mai prem me sab kuchh har gayi

Bedard zamana jeet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya.

Kuchh rit jagat ki ayesi hai

Too kaun hai tera naam hain kya

Sitaa bhi yaha badanaam huyi

Fir kyo sansaar ki baaton se

Bhig gaye tere nainaa

Kuchh to log kahenge

Logaane kaa kaam hain kehna

Chhodo bekaar ki baato mein

Kahi bit naa jaaye rainaa

Kuchh to log kahenge

Hum ko jo taane dete hai

Hum khoye hain

In rang raliyon me

Hum ko jo taane dete hai

Hum khoye hain

In rang raliyon me

Hum ne un ko bhi

Chhup chhup ke

Aate dekhaa in galiyon me

Ye sach hain joothi baat nahi

Tum bolo ye sach hain naa

Kuchh to log kahenge

Logaane kaa kaam hain kehna

Chhodo bekaar ki baato

Mein kahi bit naa jaaye rainaa

Kuchh to log kahenge logaane

Kaa kaam hain kehna.

Day 280 of 300: Today's song is Jeevan Se Na Haar by Kishore Kumar - Door Ka Raahi (1971)

It is day 280 of 300, and today's song is not a very well known song. In fact I only came across this song a few couple weeks ago. Listened to it countless number of times. Then I ended up watching the movie too. A very different movie created by Kishore Kumar. He even composed the music. Definitely not a mainstream movie.

Back in Jan 2021 I told myself that I will learn, song and post 300 classic Bollywood songs, and here I am on number 280. 20 more to go. Irrespective of anything, I am glad I kept my word to myself and come this far, so close to the finish line.

Once again, it is day 280 of 300 and today's song is Jeevan Se Na Haar sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1971 black and white movie Door Ka Raahi directed and written by Kishore Kumar. Music composed by Kishore Kumar, and lyrics written by Irshad Jallali.

Also, more importantly, today is March 15th, and it is my mother's birthday. So I am happy to post this song this day. She has always been the pillar of strength for our family. When we were little we were a poor family with not much money or stuff, but my parents always made sure we have food, clothing, shelter, and most importantly gave us good education and sent us to good schools. My mother always gained her strength like it says in this song: Saath tere hai upar wala wahi hai tera rakhwala.

Thank you Mother and Happy birthday.

jivan se na haar jine vale

baat meri tu maan are matwaale

har gam ko tu apna kar

dil ka dard chhupakar

badhta chal tu lahara kar

duniya ke sukh-dukh ko bisara kar

jivan se na haar jine vale

baat meri tu maan are matwaale

jinna jin jin jinnara, jinna jin jin jinnara

sath tere hai upar vala vahi hai tera rakhwala

sukh-dukh hai jivan ke do peraaye

dhup sunhari kahi ghanere saye

sukh-dukh hai jivan ke do peraaye

dhup sunhari kahi ghanere saye

jo suraj andhiyare me kho jae

vahi lautkar naya savera laye

to badhta chal tu lahara kar

duniya ke sukh-dukh ko bisara kar

jivan se na haar jine vale

baat meri tu maan are matwaale

jinna jin jin jinnara, jinna jin jin jinnara

sath tere hai upar vala vahi hai tera rakhwala

bahti nadiya tujhko yad dilae

samay jo jaye kabhi laut na aae

bahti nadiya tujhko yad dilae

samay jo jaye kabhi laut na aae

deep to vo jo hava me jalta jae

khud ko jalakar jag ko raah dikhae

to badhta chal tu lahara kar

duniya ke sukh-dukh ko bisara kar

jivan se na haar jine vale

baat meri tu maan are matwaale

har gam ko tu apna kar

dil ka dard chhupakar

badhta chal tu lahara kar

duniya ke sukh-dukh ko bisara kar

jivan se na haar jine vale

jinna jin jin jinnara, jinna jin jin jinnara

sath tere hai upar vala vahi hai tera rakhwala

jinna jin jin jinnara, jinna jin jin jinnara

Day 35 of 300: Today's song is Bole Re Papihara by Vani Jairam - Guddi (1971)

It is day 35 of 300, and today's song is not a very popularly known song. The song is titled Bole Re Papihara. Sung by Vani Jairam, the song is from the 1971 movie Guddi, directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee (I think I have watched just about all of his movies). Music directed by Vasant Desai, and lyrics written by my all time favorite, Gulzar, the great!

This song has a very Carnatic music flair to it. I do not know what raga this song is based on, but I also do not know if it is Vani Jairam's awesome Carnatic style singing that gives me a feel of that in this song.

Baithi hoon sawan le jaaye x2

Jaaye pee ke des mein barse

Jaaye pee ke des mein barse

Nit man pyasa, nit man tarse

Bole re papihara

Bole re papihara, papihara

Bole re papihara

Sawan jo sandesa laaye x2

Meri aankh pe moti paaye x2

Day 111: Today's song is Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja by Mukesh - Kanhaiya (1959)

It is day 111, magick number 111, and today's song is a song to the enchantress, to the goddess of music and art.

Day 111, and the song is Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja sung by Mukesh from the 1959 movie Kanhaiya, directed by Om Prakash. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Shailendra.

I have not watched this movie, in fact I have not known about this movie until now as I am looking for info on this song Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja. Must have played on the radio, or was one of songs on the Mukesh greatest hits cassette or something, but I remember the song, and I like the song.

The lyrics seems like the song is sung to a girl/woman, but actually picturized with Raj Kapoor singing to the liquor bottle. Jaanewali can be anybody personified, could be opportunity too. :)

Dekha hi nahi tujhko

Surat bhi na pahachani

Tu aake chali chham se

Jyu dhup ke bin pani

Dekha hi nahi tujhko

Surat bhi na pahachani

Tu aake chali chham se

Jyu dhup ke bin pani

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri mazil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Muddat se mere dil ke

Sapno ki tu rani hai

Ab tak na mile lekin

Pahachan purani hai

Muddat se mere dil ke

Sapno ki tu rani hai

Ab tak na mile lekin

Pahachan purani hai

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri mazil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aa pyar ki raho me

Baaho ka sahara le

Duniya jise gaati hai

Uss geet ko dohara le

Aa pyar ki raho me

Baaho ka sahara le

Duniya jise gaati hai

Uss geet ko dohara le

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri manzil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka.

10. 'Tis 10 days, Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti by Jagjit Singh is today's song, 290 more days to go

It is day 10, posting one song per day for 300 days. 

Bollywood Hindi Classic film songs, which I heard as a little boy playing on the radio, or music player, and later-on on TV are only a few Hindi movie songs that I really know. Life it seems has brought me a full circle. Since high school and after, I mostly listened to rock n roll music. Beatles, Police, Abba, and mix tapes of classic hard rock hits by AC/DC, Scorpions, MSG, etc., is what I mostly was listening to back then while I was learning to play guitar. 

Fast forward to now, thanks to Corona, life has brought me back to the old Hindi songs I used to listen to. Thanks to technology and internet, I am able to learn and sing those songs that I had mostly listened to as a child and hardly ever sang them. One thing leading to another, 10 days ago I decided to learn and post one Bollywood classic Hindi song per day for 300 days, so here I am, and it's only day 10.

Today's song is Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti sung by Jagjit Singh, who also gave the music. The awesome amazing lyrics are by Sudarshan Faakir. The song is from the 1987 movie Aaj, directed by Mahesh Bhatt. Akshay Kumar made his first screen appearance in the film, under his birth name Rajiv Bhatia.

Here is a newer rendition with a lyrical video (posted on Jan 22, 2026):

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,

Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,

Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani,

Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Muhalle Ki Sabse Purani Nishani,

Wo Budhia Jise Bachche Kehte The Naani,

Wo Naani Ki Baaton Me Parion Ka Dera,

Wo Chehre Ki Jhurrion Me Sadiyon Ka pehra,

Bhulaye Nahin Bhul Sakta Hai Koi,

Bhulaye Nahin Bhool Sakta Hai Koi,

Wo Chhoti Si Raaten, Wo Lambi Kahani

Kadi Dhoop Me Apne Ghar Se Nikalna,

Wo Chidia Wo Bulbul Wo Titli Pakadna ,

Wo Gudia Ki Shaadi Pe Ladna jhagadna,

Wo Jhoolon Se Girna Wo Gir Ke Sambhalna,

Wo Peetal Ke Chhalon Ke Pyare Se Tohfe,

Wo Tooti Hui Choodion Ki Nishani

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti Wo Baarish Ka Paani,

Kabhi Ret Ke Oonche teeloN Pe Jana

Gharonde Banana, Bana ke Mitana

Wo Masoom Chahat Ki Tasveer Apni

Wo KhwaboN KhilaunoN Ki Jaageer Apni

Na Duniya Ka Gam Tha Na RishtoN Ke Bandhan

Badi Khoobsurat Thi Wo Zindagani..

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,

Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,

Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani,

Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Day 91: Today's song is Ganga Aaye Kahan Se by Hemant Kumar - Kabuliwala (1961)

It is day 91, and today's song is Ganga Aaye Kahan Se sung by Hemant Kumar from the 1961 movie Kabuliwala, directed by Hemen Gupta, produced by Bimal Roy. Music by Salil Chaudhury and Lyrics written by the great, and my all time favorite Bollywood lyrics writer, Gulzar. The movie is based on a short story by Rabindranath Tagore.

I actually did not even remember this song, and had never sung it before, not have heard it much in my life. But there must have been a tape of Hemant Kumar in my father's collection due to which I kind of knew the song. But it was really because my mother reminded me this song when I called and talked to her on Mother's day. Then I decided to listen, learn and sing. What a great song! The music is very Bengali folk based.

Lyrics: 

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Aaye kaha se, jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Rat karee din ujiyara mil gaye dono saye

Rat karee din ujiyara mil gaye dono saye

Sanjh ne dekho rang rup ke kaise bhed mitaye

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Kanch koyee matee koyee rang birange pyale

Kanch koyee matee koyee rang birange pyale

Pyas lage toh ek barabar jisame panee dale

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Nam koyee bolee koyee lakho rup aur chehare

Nam koyee bolee koyee lakho rup aur chehare

Khol ke dekho pyar kee aankhe sab tere sab mere re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re

Laharaye panee me jaise dhup chhanv re

Ganga aaye kaha se, ganga jaye kaha re.

Day 301 of 300: Today's song is Mera Jeevan Kuchh Kaam Na Aaya by Kishore Kumar - Mera Jiwan (1976)

Bonus song!

It is day 301 of 300, and today's song is Mera Jeevan Kuchh Kaam Na Aaya sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1976 movie Mera Jiwan directed by Bindoo Shukla. Music composed by Sapan Jagmohan, and lyrics written by M.G. Hashmat.

I just realized I did not have a single Sapan Jagmohan song in my list of 300 songs I posted so far. So the 301st song, a bonus song is his composition. Great composition.

I don't think this is a much known song. Even I did not know it until I heard it a couple months ago for the first time. Liked it so much that this song used to play at home at least once a day. Then I watched the movie too. Definitely an off beat non mainstream movie.

Song number 301, here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on Apr 19, 2022):

Lyrics:

mera jivan kuchh kaam na aaya

jaise sukhe ped ki chhaya

o apno ke hote huye man me basi tanhai

ho aansu bana ke khushi aankho me maine barsayi

ho khushiyo ko rote rote duniya me ab to mera ji ghabraya

o baras gaye re sawan dariya bhi josh me aaye

ho phul bhi khilne lage kaliyo ke man muskaye

ho suni rahi ek dali uspe to ab tak koi phul na aaya

o jine ko ji na chahe maangu to maut na aaye

ho saanso ke chalne ko to jivan kaha nahi jaye

ho dard basa ke dil me mera nasib mujhko kaha pe laya

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

Zindagi ke safar me guzar jaate hai jo maqaam

Vo phir nahi aate, vo phir nahi aate

Phool khilte hai, log milte hai

Phool khilte hai, log milte hai magar

Patajhad me jo phool murajhaa jaate hai

Vo baharo ke aane se khilte nahi

Kuchh log ek roz jo bichhad jaate hai

Vo hazaro ke aane se milte nahi

Umr bhar chahe koi pukaara kare unka naam

Vo phir nahi aate, vo phir nahi aate

Aankh dhokha hai, kya bharosa hai

Aankh dhokha hai, kya bharosa hai suno

Dosto shaq dosti ka dushman hai

Apane dil me ise ghar banane na do

Kal tadapana pade yaad me jinki

Rok lo ruth kar unko jaane na do

Baad me pyar ke chahe bhejo hazaro salaam

Vo phir nahi aate, vo phir nahi aate

Subah aati hai, shaam jaati hai

Subah aati hai, shaam jaati hai yunhi

Vaqt chaltaa hi rehtaa hai ruktaa nahi

Ek pal me ye aage nikal jaataa hai

Aadami theek se dekh paataa nahi

Aur parde pe mazar badal jaataa hai

Ek baar chale jaate hai jo din-raat subah-o-shaam

Vo phir nahi aate, vo phir nahi aate.

Raag: Darbari Kanada

Taal: Kaherava

So I made it to 290 songs, and 10 more to go.

This is a sad song perfectly fits the mood of my day today. I had to drive out into the world last two days, see and meet people. It made me sad to see the state of the world. Along with other difficult situations of my life, I feel this is a perfect song for the day.

Here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on Mar 31, 2022):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

rahaa gardisho me haradam mere ishq kaa sitaaraa

kabhi dagamagaayi kashti, kabhi kho gayaa kinaaraa

koi dil kaa khel dekhe, ki muhabbaton ki baazi

vo qadam qadam pe jite, mai qadam qadam pe haaraa

ye hamaari badnaseebi jo nahi to aur kyaa hai

ki usi ke ho gaye ham, jo na ho sakaa hamaaraa

pade jab gamo ke paale, rahe mitake mitanevaale

jise maut ne na puchhaa, use zindagi ne maaraa

Day 49: Today's song is O Mere Majhi Mere Sajan Hain Us Paar by S.D. Burman - Bandini (1963)

It is day 49 and today's song is O Re Mahji Mere Saajan Hain Us Paar composed and sung by S.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Shailendra. The song is from the 1963 movie Bandini, directed by Bimal Roy. I don't think I have seen this movie. I will watch it sometime.

S.D. Burman is my most favorite Bollywood music director of all times. Only recently, since the pandemic, I have learned that a lot of the classic Bollywood songs I know, were composed by S.D. Burman. I remember hearing these songs at home growing up, on the radio, or the music player.

Thanks to the pandemic, I have been learning to sing hindi songs from those songs that I remember from my childhood. That is when I realized, the most bliss is when singing songs composed by S.D. Burman. Beautifully awesome composer. I love S.D. Burman sahab.

o mere majhi, abaki baar, le chal paar, le chal paar

ho man ki kitab se tu, mera naam hi mita dena

gun to na tha koi bhi, avagun mere bhula dena

ho man ki kitab se tu, mera naam hi mita dena

gun to na tha koi bhi, avagun mere bhula dena

mujhako teri bida ka

mujhako teri bida ka mar ke bhi rahata itazar

mere saajan hai us paar, mai man maar, hun is paar

o mere majhi, abaki baar, le chal paar, le chal paar

mere saajan hai us paar

mat khel jal jaaegi, kahati hai aag mere man ki

mat khel mat khel 

mat khel jal jaaegi, kahati hai aag mere man ki

mai badini piyaa ki chir sagini hun saajan ki

mera khichati hai aanchal

mera khichati hai aanchal man mit teri har pukar

mere sajan hai us paar

o re majhi o re majhi o o mere majhi

Mai shayar badnaam

Mai shayar badnaam ho o

Mehfil se naakam ho o

Mere ghar se tumko

Kuchh saamaan milega

Divaane shaayar kaa

Ek divaan milega

Aur ek cheez milegi

Tuta khaali jam ho o

Mai chala mai chala

Mai shayar badnaam

Sholo pe chalna tha

Kaanto pe sona tha

Aur abhi ji bhar ke

Kismat pe rona tha

Jaane aise kitne

Baaki chhod ke kaam

Ho o mai chala mai chala

Mai shayar badnaam

Rasta rok rahi hai

Thodi jaan hai baaki

Jaane tute dil me kya

Armaan hai baaki

Jaane bhi de ae dil

Sabko meraa salaam

Ho o mai chala mai chala

Mai shaayar badnaam

Ho o mai chala mai chala

Mehfil se naakaam ho

O mai chala mai chala.
