Lyrics:

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

nain bichaye baahe pasare

tujhko pukare desh tera

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

nain bichaye baahe pasare

tujhko pukare desh tera

aa ja re aa aa aa

sahaj hai sidhi raah pe sahaj chalna

dekh ke uljhan bach ke nikalna

koi ye chahe maane na maane

bahut hai mushkil gir ke sambhlana

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

aankh hamari manzil par hai

dil me khushi ki mast lahar hai

lakh lubhaye mahal paraye

apna ghar phir apna ghar hai

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

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.

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

Day 101: Today's song is Chalte Chalte by Kishore Kumar - Chalte Chalte (1976)

It is day 101, and today's song is Chalte Chalte sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1976 movie Chalte Chalte, directed by Sunder Dar and produced by Bhisham Kohli. Music composed by Bappi Lahiri, and lyrics written by Amit Khanna.

This has to be one of the quintessential Bollywood classics that most everybody into Bollywood music will know, and I am sure there are several remixes and versions of this song on the cyber space. A super hit song. Bappi Lahiri's first big hit song.

I myself, have some memories connected with this song, playing on the radio, and also perhaps from watching the movie as a toddler. The movie itself is an Indian adaptation of the movie Play Misty for Me. Similar story to the later made Hollywood movie Fatal Attraction.

Lyrics:

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

rote hanste bas yuhi tum gungunate rehna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

pyar karte karte ham tum kahi kho jayenge

inhi baharo ke aanchal me thak ke so jayenge

pyar karte karte ham tum kahi kho jayenge

inhi baharo ke aanchal me thak ke so jayenge

sapno ko phir bhi tum yuhi sajate rehna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

beech rah me dilbar bichhad jaye kahi hum agar

aur suni si lage tumhe jivan ki ye dagar

beech rah me dilbar bichhad jaye kahi hum agar

aur suni si lage tumhe jivan ki ye dagar

hum laut aayenge tum yuhi bulate rehna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

rote hanste bas yuhi tum gungunate rehna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

At times it is hard to find good quality backing tracks in the original key. This song happens to be one of those. So, My apologies.

Here is my rendition with backing tracks (recorded on 01/05/2023):

Lyrics:

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

aaja meri sanso me mahek raha re tera gajra

aaja meri rato me lahek raha re tera kajra

ho aaja meri sanso me mahek raha re tera gajra

ho aaja meri rato me lahek raha re tera kajra

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha udd chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

der se lahro me kamal sambhale huye mann ka

jivan taal me bhatak raha re tera hansa

der se lahro me kamal sambhale huye mann ka

jivan taal me bhatak raha re tera hansa

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali
