Day 276: Today's song is Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer by Kishore Kumar - Mahaan (1983)

It is day 276 and today's song is Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1983 movie Mahaan directed by S. Ramanathan. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Anjaan.

Raag: not sure, perhaps a blend of couple. comment if you know.
Taal: Kaherava

Not a popular songs this, but certainly an underrated song. Even I did not have this song on my list for the 300 Bollywood classics that I decided to learn, sing and post on my YouTube channel Puraane Gaane back in January 2021. But, I was in India for few weeks in January-February this year and one day while I was killing the afternoon time browsing channels since my parents were taking a siesta, I came across this movie, Mahaan with Amitabh Bachchan in triple role. So, just for the heck of it, I started watching it, and there was this song. I remember this song as a boy from my father's music collection. I liked it back then, I like it now too.

Great song! Even though picturized as a romantic song, to me this song is a bhajan, singing to the one and only, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent source, undivided and untouched by religion or politics.

Any ever I look, I see your image.

Here is my brief instrumental rendition of the song on an electric guitar (posted on Jan 19, 2023):

Lyrics:
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
teri surat meri taqadir nazar aati hai

zinda hun mai tere liye jivan tera hai
mera hai jo sab hai tera ab kya mera hai
meri khushiyo ki tu jagir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai

bina dekhe bina jaane tan man bandhe jo
badhan jo janam janam mar ke juda na ho
teri chahat vahi zanjir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
teri surat meri taqadir nazar aati hai


Thank you for listening!
Peace
