Day 247: Today's song is Aye Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo by Manna Dey - Mera Naam Joker (1970)

It is day 247 and today's song is another evergreen hit song from the same movie from which I posted yesterday's song.

Today is the New Years Eve 2021 going to 2022 #2022 #newyear

Today is Day 247, and today's song is Aye Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo sung by Manna Dey from the 1970 classic movie Mera Naam Joker directed and produced by the all time legend Raj Kapoor #rajkapoor. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Neeraj.

A cult classic by Raj Kapoor.

The movie won several awards, including best director award. Shankar Jaikishan won the Filmfare Best Music Director Award, and Manna Dey won the best male playback singer for this song.

A humorous yet profound, life analogy to circus, song. 

Here it is, my rendition of the song:

Lyrics:

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

tu jaha aaya hai vo tera - ghar nahi, gaanv nahi

gali nahi, kucha nahi, rasta nahi, basti nahi

duniya hai aur pyaare, duniya yah ek circus hai

aur is circus me - bade ko bhi, chote ko bhi

khare ko bhi, khote ko bhi, mote ko bhi, patale ko bhi

niche se upar ko, upar se niche ko aana-jaana padta hai

aur ring mastar ke kode par - koda jo bhukh hai

koda jo paisa hai, koda jo qismat hai

tarah-tarah naach kar dikhana yaha padta hai

baar-baar rona aur gaana yaha padta hai

hiro se, hiro se jokar ban jaana padta hai, e bhaai

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

girne se darta hai kyo, marne se darta hai kyo

thokar tu jab na khayega

paas kisi gam ko na jab tak bulayega

zindagi hai chiz kya nahi jaan paayega

rota hua aaya hai, rota chala jaayega, e bhaai

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

kya hai karishma, kaisa khilavaad hai

jaanavar aadami se zyada vafadaar hai

khaata hai koda bhi, rahta hai bhukha bhi

phir bhi vo maalik par karta nahi vaar hai

aur insaan yah - maal jis ka khaata hai

pyaar jis se paata hai, git jis ke gaata hai

usi ke hi sine me bhokata kataar hai

maal jis ka khaata hai

pyaar jis se paata hai, git jis ke gaata hai

usi ke hi sine me bhokata kataar hai, e bhaai

e bhaai, zara dekhke chalo, aage hi nahi pichhe bhi

daaye hi nahi baaye bhi, upar hi nahi niche bhi, e bhaai

haan baabu, yah circus hai show teen ghante ka

pahla ghanta bachpan hai, dusra javani hai, tisra budhapa hai

aur uske baad - maa nahi, baap nahi

beta nahi, beti nahi, tu nahi

mai nahi, ye nahi, vo nahi kuchh bhi nahi rahta hai

rahta hai jo kuchh vo - kaali-kaali kursiya hai

kaali-kaali taambu hai, kaali-kaali ghera hai

bina chidiya ka basera hai, na tera hai, na mera hai
