Day 294: Today's song is Sur Na Saje by Manna Dey - Basant Bahar (1956)

It is day 294, and today's song is Sur Na Saje sung by Manna Dey from the 1956 movie Basant Bahar directed by Raja Nawathe. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Shailendra. One of the top songwriters trio in the industry ever. The other super tops are S.D. Burman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the one and only Gulzar the great! IMHO.

Raag: Pilu
Taal: Kaherava

A difficult song. Pardon my flaws. Definitely one of the most, if not the most difficult song I ever learned to sing in the list of 300 #bollywood #classic songs I have been doing, and now almost at the end of it. 294 of 300, 6 more to go to reach the goal.

I have not watched this movie Basant Bahar ever. Reading a brief synopsis of it on Wiki sounds like it is a very good movie to watch. Based on music. Music, I feel, is the ultimate language of the universe. I most certainly will watch this movie sometime soon.

Here is a version with lyrical video (posted on May 02, 2025):

Again, Pardon my flaws. Here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on April 07, 2022):

Lyrics:
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur ke bina, jivan suna
sur ke bina, jivan suna
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje

jalte gaya jivan mera
jalte gaya jivan mera
is raat ka nahoga sawera
is raat ka nahoga sawera
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje

dono jaha mujhase ruthe
dono jaha mujhase ruthe
tere bina ye geet bhi jhuthe
tere bina ye geet bhi jhuthe
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje

sageet man ko pakh lagae
geeto se rimajhim ras barasae
sageet man ko pakh lagae
geeto se rimajhim ras barasae
svar ki sadhana 
svar ki sadhana parameshvar ki 
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje
