Day 30 of 300: Today's song is Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaye by Mukesh - Milan (1967)

It is day 30 and today's song is Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaye, sung by Mukesh, from the 1967 movie Milan, directed by A. Subba Rao, music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.

I don't recall watching this movie ever. I think I will watch this movie Milan tonight. 

Not sure many people know this song. I happen to know it because we used to have a cassette tape of all songs from this movie, Milan. I remember liking the album and I remember playing it many times as a child growing up in India. I must say my father had a great taste of choice for the Bollywood songs, and he had quite a collection of tapes. Listening to those tapes, and then radio and chitrahaar on doordarshan TV are sources of my memory of the Bollywood classic Hindi songs.

I don't know what raga (or raag) this song is based on. If you do, please post in the comments.

Lyrics:

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Guzar Jaaye Sukh Se Teri Dukh Bhari Ratiya

Badal Lu Mai Tose Ankhiya

Guzar Jaaye Sukh Se Teri Dukh Bhari Ratiya

Badal Lu Mai Tose Ankhiya

Bas Me Agar Ho Ye Batiya, Maangu Duaye Haath Uthaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Tu Hi Nahi Main Hi Nahi

Saara Zamana Dard Ka Hai Ek Fasana

Tu Hi Nahi Main Hi Nahi

Saara Zamana Dard Ka Hai Ek Fasana

Aadmi Ho Jaaye Diwana, Yaad Kare Gar Bhul Na Jaaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Svapna Chala Aaye Koi Chori-chori

Mast Pavan Gaaye Lori, Chadra Kiran Banke Dori

Svapna Chala Aaye Koi Chori-chori

Mast Pavan Gaaye Lori, Chadra Kiran Banke Dori

Tere Man Ko Jhula Jhulaaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Mai Jaagu, Mai Jaagu

Thank you for listening

Peace
