5. Yaari Hai Imaan Mera by Manna Dey - Zanjeer (1973) - Day 5 of the 1 song per day for 300 days

This is is day 5 of my self challenge of singing and posting one Bollywood Classic song per day for 300 days. So far so good. I must say I am learning to sing. I know I am not the best singers, and I know my recordings I am posting are not always 100% perfect. But at least I am happy with my progress.

I record the entire song in one take, using my basic apple white headset on my ipad. So nothin fancy here.

Today's song is tiled Yaari Hai Imaan Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi, sung by Manna Dey, a hit song from the 1973 blockbuster movie Zanjeer, starring Amitabh Bachchan. This song was picturized with Pran. This movie launched the image of "the angry young man" that the super star Amitabh Bachchan cherished most of the rest of his career. The movie was directed by Prakash Mehra. Music direction by Kalyanji-Anandji, and lyrics by Gulsha Bawra. This combination of this Lyricist, Music Director and Movie Director went on to produce several hit movies and songs in the years to come. The rest is history.

This is my rendition of this song. Please forgive my flaws.

Lyrics:

Aa . . .

Gar khuda mujse kahe . . . (2)

Kuchh maang eh bande mere

Me ye maangu . . (2)

Mehefilo ke daur yu chalte rahe

Hum payala, hum niwala

Humsafar, humraaz ho

Ta qayaamat. . . (2)

Jo chiraago ki tarha jalte rahe

Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi

Pyar ho bando se ye . . . oh

Pyar ho bando se ye sabse badi hai bandagi

Yaari hai!

Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi

Saaz-e-dil chhedo jahan me . . . (2)

Pyar ki gunje sada

He saaz-e-dil chhedo jaha, Me pyar ki gunje sada

Jin dilon me pyaar hai unpe bahaare ho fida

Pyar leke noor aaya . . . (2)

Pyar leke taazgi

Yaari hai!

Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi

Jaan bhi jaaye agar . . . (2)

Yaari mein yaaro gham nahi

Eh jaan bhi jaaye agar yaari mein, Yaaro gham nahi

Apne hote yaar ho, Gham-geen matlab ham nahi

Ham jaha hai . . us jagaah (2)

Jhoomegi naachegi khushi

Yaari Hai!

Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi

Aa . . .

Gul-e-gulzaar kyu bezaar nazar aata hai (2)

Chashm-e-pat ka shikaar yaar nazar aata hai

Chhupaana hamse zara haal-e-dil suna de tu

Tere hasee ki keemat kya hai ye bataa de tu

Kahe to aasmaa se chaand taare le aau

Haseen jawaan aur dilkash nazaare le aau

Tera mamnoon hu . . . (2)

Tumne nibhaaya yaaraana

Teri hasee hai aaj sabse bada nazraana (2)

Yaar ke hunste hi . . . (2)

Mehefil pe jawaani chhaa gayi, chhaa gayi Yaari hai!

Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi

Thank you for Listening

peace
