Day 143: Today's song is Sun Mere Bandhu Re by S.D. Burman - Sujata (1959)

It is day 143, and today's song is Sun Mere Bandhu Re sung by S.D. Burman from the 1959 movie Sujata, directed and produced by Bimal Roy. Music composed by S.D. Burman and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

This song is probably the first song I ever heard in my life, on the radio or my father sing, cannot remember which one. But when I was recording this song today it took me back in time.

What an amazing song, Such awesome poetic lyrics.

Hats off!! to S.D. Burman dadoo.

Lyrics:

Sun mere badhu re

Sun mere mitavaa

Sun mere saathi re

Hotaa tu pipal mai hoti amar lataa teri

Hotaa tu pipal mai hoti amar lataa teri

Tere gale mala ban ke padi musakaati re

Sun mere saathi re

Sun mere badhu re

Sun mere mitavaa

Sun mere saathi re

Jiyaa kahe tu saagar mai hoti teri nadiyaa

Jiyaa kahe tu saagar mai hoti teri nadiyaa

Lahar bahar kar ti apane piyaa se mil jaati re

Sun mere saathi re

Sun mere badhu re

Sun mere mitavaa

Sun mere saathi re

Sun mere badhu re

Sun mere mitavaa

Sun mere saathi re.
