Day 190 of 300: Today's song is Akela Hoon Main Is Duniya Mein by Mohammed Rafi - Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962)

It is day 190 of 200. When I started this back in Jan, I was not sure how far I will go. 190 most certainly seemed a very very long ways away. But here I am almost 200, and still 100 more to go, If I am still alive and motivated.

Today is song number 190, and today's song is Akela Hoon Main Is Duniya Mein originally sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1962 movie Baat Ek Raat Ki, directed by Shankar Mukherjee. Music composed by S.D. Burman the great, and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri the great!

What a song! I love it! Lyrics have a profound meaning if only one has ears to hear.

Lyrics:

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main

na to parvana aur na deewana, main kisi mahfil ka

sooni sooni raahe, thaamti hai baahe gam kise manzil ka

na to parvana aur na deewana, main kisi mahfil ka

sooni sooni raahe, thaamti hai baahe gam kise manzil ka

main to hu raahi dil ka

saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main

jaise kabhi pyare jhil ke kinare, hans akela nikle

vaise hi dekho ji, ye man mauji maujo ke seene pe chale

jaise kabhi pyare jhil ke kinare, hans akela nikle

vaise hi dekho ji, ye man mauji maujo ke seene pe chale

chaand sitaro ke tale

saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main
