Day 195: Today's song is Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi by Mohammed Rafi - Barsaat Ki Raat (1960)

It is day 195, and today's song is Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1960 hit movie Barsaat Ki Raat directed by P.L. Santoshi. Music composed by Roshan, and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

This must be one of the top all time superhit songs in the Bollywood industry. This song topped the charts that year. Barsaat Ki Raat is considered a milestone in the history of Indian cinema and is known for popularizing the romantic musical genre in films.

Here it is, my rendition of the song:

Lyrics:

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi wo barsaat ki raat

ek anjaan hasina se mulaqaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi

haay wo reshmi zulfo se barasta pani

haay wo reshmi zulfo se barasta pani

phool se gaalo pe rukne ko tarasta pani

dil me toofaan uthaate huye

dil me toofaan uthaate huye jazbaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi wo barsaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi

dar ke bijli se achaanak wo lipatna uska

aur phir sharam se bal kha ke simatna uska

kabhi dekhi na suni aisi ho

kabhi dekhi na suni aisi tilismaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi

surkh aanchal ko dabakar jo nichoda usne

surkh aanchal ko dabakar jo nichoda usne

dil pe jalta hua ek teer sa chhoda usne

aag pani me lagate huye

aag pani me lagate huye halaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi

mere naghmo mei jo basti hai wo tasveer thi wo

naujawaani ke haseen khwaab ki taabeer thi wo

aasmanon se utar aayi ho

aasmanon se utar aayi thi jo raat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi wo barsaat ki raat

ek anjaan hasina se mulaqaat ki raat

zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi
