Day 153: Today's song is Aye Mere Pyare Watan by Manna Dey - Kabuliwala (1961)

It is day 153, and today's song is Aye Mere Pyare Watan sung by Manna Dey from the 1961 movie Kabuliwala, directed by Hemen Gupta and produced by Bimal Roy. Music composed by Salil Chaudhury and lyrics written by Prem Dhawan.
The movie is based on the 1892 short story "Kabuliwala", by the Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore who in 1913 became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Great movie! Great song!

Also, tomorrow is Aug15th, India's independence day celebration. Celebrating the freedom from the pillage and tyranny of the evil British empire who thought that they could take whatever they want from anywhere in the world and from anybody.

On the eve of Indian Independence day, here is my rendition of the song:
Lyrics:
aye mere pyaare vatan, aye mere bichhade chaman
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan
aye mere pyaare vatan, aye mere bichhade chaman
tujh pe dil quraban

tere daaman se jo aaye un hawao ko salaam
tere daaman se jo aaye un hawao ko salaam
chum lu main us zuban ko jisape aaye tera naam
sabse pyari subah teri sabse rangi teri shaam
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan

maa ka dil banake kabhi seenay se lag jata hai tu
maa ka dil banake kabhi seenay se lag jata hai tu
aur kabhi nanhi si beti ban ke yaad aata hai tu
jitna yaad aata hai mujhko utna tadapata hai tu 
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan

chhod kar teri zameen ko dur aa pahunche hai hum
chhod kar teri zameen ko dur aa pahunche hai hum
phir bhi hai ye hi tamanna tere zarro ki qasam
ham jaha paida hue us jagah pe hi nikale dam
tujh pe dil quraban
tu hi meri aarazu, tu hi meri aabaru
tu hi meri jaan


Thank you for listening!
Peace
