Day 273: Today's song is Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya by Geeta Dutt - Do Bhai (1947)

It is day 273 and today's song is Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya sung by Geeta Dutt from the 1947 movie Do Bhai directed by Munshi Dil. Music composed by S.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan.

Raag: Bilawal

Taal: Kaherava

I love Geeta Di. even though she is way way before my time, she has been instrumental in my learning Bollywood songs. And S.D. Burman dadoo, is THE best music composer of all time in Bollywood, IMHO.

I do not know anything about this movie. I don't think I saw it. Not sure even if I can find a copy to watch.

1947 was the year India got it's independence from the British rule. So this movie is old old old. 75 years old. But it seems to be a mostly unanimous agreement with Indian people that old Hindi movie songs were the best ever, and nothing like that was and is ever produced since.

Anyways, here it is, my rendition of the song:

Lyrics:

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya,

Mai prem me sab kuchh har gayi

Bedard zamana jeet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Kyun kali badariya chhayi hai,

Kyun kali kali muskayi hai

Kyun kali badariya chhayi hai,

Kyun kali kali muskayi hai

Meri prem kahani khatm huyi,

Mere jivan kaa sangeet gaya

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

O chhod ke janewale aa,

Dil tod ke janewale aa

O chhod ke janewale aa,

Dil tod ke janewale aa

Aankhe aansuan mein

Doob gayi, doob gayi

Aankhe aansuan mein doob gayi

Hansne kaa zamana beet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Har raat meri diwali thi,

Mai piya ki hone wali thi

Har raat meri diwali thi,

Mai piya ki hone wali thi

Iss jivan ko abb aag lage, aag lage

Iss jivan ko abb aag lage

Mujhe chhodke jivan meet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya

Mai prem me sab kuchh har gayi

Bedard zamana jeet gaya,

Mera sundar sapna beet gaya.
