Day 391 of 300: Today's song is Sar Jo Tera Chakraye by Mohammed Rafi - Pyaasa (1957)

It is day 391 of 300, and today's song is Sar Jo Tera Chakraye sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1957 hit movie Pyaasa directed and produced by Guru Dutt. Music composed by S.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

This song was actually composed by R.D. Burman. How would have been 17 years old. He was not credited for it, but I am sure he is credited as assistant music director since that is the role he played to his father (lucky chap) back then.

For what it's worth, here is my rendition of the song with backing tracks (posted on Jan 19, 2024):

Lyrics:

sar jo teraa chakaraaye, yaa dil dubaa jaaye

aaja pyare paas hamare, kahe ghabaray, kahe ghabaraye

sar jo teraa chakaraaye, yaa dil dubaa jaaye

aaja pyare paas hamare, kahe ghabaray, kahe ghabaraye

tel meraa hai muski, ganj rahe na khuski

jis ke sar par haath phiraa dun, chamake kismat uski

tel meraa hai muski, ganj rahe na khuski

jis ke sar par haath phiraa dun, chamake kismat uski

sun sun sun, are betaa sun, is champi me bade bade gun

sun sun sun, are betaa sun, is champi me bade bade gun

laakh dukho ki ek davaa hai, kyun naa aazamaaye

kahe ghabaraaye, kahe ghabaraaye

sar jo teraa chakaraaye, yaa dil dubaa jaaye

aaja pyare paas hamare, kahe ghabaray, kahe ghabaraye

pyaar kaa hove jhagadaa, yaa bizines kaa ho ragadaa

sab lafado kaa bojh hate jab pade haath ik tagadaa

pyaar kaa hove jhagadaa, yaa bizines kaa ho ragadaa

sab lafado kaa bojh hate jab pade haath ik tagadaa

sun sun sun, are baabu sun, is champi me bade bade gun

sun sun sun, are baabu sun, is champi me bade bade gun

laakh dukho ki ek davaa hai, kyun naa aazamaaye

kahe ghabaraaye, kahe ghabaraaye

sar jo teraa chakaraaye, yaa dil dubaa jaaye

aaja pyare paas hamare, kahe ghabaray, kahe ghabaraye

naukar ho yaa maalik, lidar ho yaa pabalik

apane aage sabhi jhuke hai, kyaa raajaa kyaa sainik

naukar ho yaa maalik, lidar ho yaa pabalik

apane aage sabhi jhuke hai, kyaa raajaa kyaa sainik

sun sun sun, are betaa sun, is champi me bade bade gun

sun sun sun, are betaa sun, is champi me bade bade gun

laakh dukho ki ek davaa hai, kyun naa aazamaaye

kahe ghabaraaye, kahe ghabaraaye

sar jo teraa chakaraaye, yaa dil dubaa jaaye

aaja pyare paas hamare, kahe ghabaray, kahe ghabaraye
