Day 82: Today's song is Babuji Dheere Chalna by Geeta Dutt - Aar Paar (1954)

It is day 82, and it is time to take a break from singing my renditions of Bollywood classic old hindi film songs, a day a song. Sometimes the renditions are good, many other times they are average, and sometimes not so good. But this is a great learning exercise for me. I am beginning to see my limitations as a musician and a singer. Some times the mood of the song and my emotions are aligned, and sometimes not. But it is a learning exercise and I am glad I chose to do this 1 song a day for 300 days. I am also glad I am actually doing it and have gotten to 82 songs so far. Yes, still 218 more songs to go to reach 300, and I only hope to learn a lot more from singing these evergreen timeless Bollywood Hindi classic songs.

Today's song is Babuji Dheere Chalna sung by Geeta Dutt from the 1954 movie Aar Paar, directed and produced by Guru Dutt. Music composed by O.P. Nayyar and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Lyrics:

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Kyun ho khoye huye sar jhukaaye

Jaise jaate ho sab kuchh lutaaye

Ye to baabuji pahalaa kadam hai

Nazar aate hai apane paraaye

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Ye muhabbat hai o bholebhaale

Kar na dil ko gamo ke havaale

Kaam ulafat kaa naazuk bahut hai

Aake hotho pe tutege pyaale

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Ho gayi hai kisi se jo anaban

Thaam le dusaraa koi daaman

Zidagaani ki raahe ajab hai

Ho akelaa hai to laakho hai dushman

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa.
