Day 87: Today's song is Dukhi Man Mere by Kishore Kumar - Funtoosh (1956)

It is day 87, and today's song is Dukhi Man Mere sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1956 movie Funtoosh, directed by Chetan Anand and produced by Dev Anand. Music composed by the great and my all time favorite S.D. Burman and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

This is a sad song. Not sure I could emote that sad feeling that Kishore da could.

As far as the movie goes, I don't recall ever watching this movie. Perhaps I will watch it sometime in the next day or so.

Lyrics:

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana

Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana

Dukhi mann mere

Dard hamara koi na jaane

Apani garaj ke sab hai deewane

Kis ke aage rona roye

Desh paraya log begane

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana

Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana

Dukhi mann mere

Lakh yaha jholi phaila le

Kuch nahi dege is jag wale

Pathar ke dil mom na hoge

Chahe jitana nir bahale

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana

Jaha nahi chaina waha nahi rahana

Dukhi mann mere

Apane liye kab hai ye mele

Hum hai har ek mele me akele

Kya payega usme rah kar

Jo duniya jivan se khele

Kya payega usme rah kar

Jo duniya jivan se khele

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana

Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana

Dukhi mann mere.
