Lyrics:

Aise to na dekho, ke humko nasha ho jaye

Khoobsurat si koi humse khata ho jaye

Aise to na dekho...

Tum humein roko phir bhi hum na ruken

Tum kaho kaafir phir bhi aise jhuken

Kadam e naaz pe ik sajda ada ho jaye

Aise to na dekho, ke humko nasha ho jaye

Khoobsurat si koi humse khata ho jaye

Aise to na dekho...

Yoon na ho aankhen rahen kaajal gholen

Badh ke bekhudi haseen gesu kholen

Khul ke phir zulfen siyah kali bala ho jaaye

Aise to na dekho, ke humko nasha ho jaye

Khoobsurat si koi humse khata ho jaye

Aise to na dekho...

Hum to masti mein jaane kya kya kahen

Lab e naazuk se aisa na ho tumhein

Beqarari ka gila hum se siva ho jaye

Aise to na dekho, ke humko nasha ho jaye

Khoobsurat si koi humse khata ho jaye

Aise to na dekho...

Day 30 of 300: Today's song is Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaye by Mukesh - Milan (1967)

It is day 30 and today's song is Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaye, sung by Mukesh, from the 1967 movie Milan, directed by A. Subba Rao, music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.

I don't recall watching this movie ever. I think I will watch this movie Milan tonight. 

Not sure many people know this song. I happen to know it because we used to have a cassette tape of all songs from this movie, Milan. I remember liking the album and I remember playing it many times as a child growing up in India. I must say my father had a great taste of choice for the Bollywood songs, and he had quite a collection of tapes. Listening to those tapes, and then radio and chitrahaar on doordarshan TV are sources of my memory of the Bollywood classic Hindi songs.

I don't know what raga (or raag) this song is based on. If you do, please post in the comments.

Lyrics:

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Guzar Jaaye Sukh Se Teri Dukh Bhari Ratiya

Badal Lu Mai Tose Ankhiya

Guzar Jaaye Sukh Se Teri Dukh Bhari Ratiya

Badal Lu Mai Tose Ankhiya

Bas Me Agar Ho Ye Batiya, Maangu Duaye Haath Uthaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Tu Hi Nahi Main Hi Nahi

Saara Zamana Dard Ka Hai Ek Fasana

Tu Hi Nahi Main Hi Nahi

Saara Zamana Dard Ka Hai Ek Fasana

Aadmi Ho Jaaye Diwana, Yaad Kare Gar Bhul Na Jaaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Svapna Chala Aaye Koi Chori-chori

Mast Pavan Gaaye Lori, Chadra Kiran Banke Dori

Svapna Chala Aaye Koi Chori-chori

Mast Pavan Gaaye Lori, Chadra Kiran Banke Dori

Tere Man Ko Jhula Jhulaaye

Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Ram Kare Aisa Ho Jaaye, Meri Nindiya Tohe Mil Jaaye

Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye, Mai Jaagu Tu So Jaaye Ho

Mai Jaagu, Mai Jaagu

Thank you for listening

Day 8: Today's song is Tasveer Banata Hoon Tasveer Nahi Banti, a song by Talat Mahmood - Bara-Dari (1955)

It is day 8 of my one song per day for 300 days. Today I picked a very old song from a 1955 movie Bara-Dari, not a very popular movie I guess, but I will say that this song I have heard many many times on the radio as a kid. Back then itself this song was an oldie. This movie is directed by K. Amarnath. Music direction by Naushad, and lyrics penned by Khumar Barabankwi. Not sure what raga this melody is based on, but if you know, please comment. This song  Tasveer Banata Hoon is sung by the smooth mellow singer Talat Mahmood.

Here is a rendition of the song with lyrical video (posted on May 17, 2024):

Here is my rendition of the song with backing tracks (posted on Feb 04, 2021):

Lyrics:

tasveer banata hu, tasveer nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

tasveer banata hu, tasveer nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

ek khvaab sa dekha hai, taabir nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

tasveer banata hu, tasveer nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

bedard muhabbat ka itna sa hai afasaana

bedard muhabbat ka itna sa hai afasaana

nazro se mili nazre, mai ho gaya divaana

ab dil ke bahlane ki, tadbir nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

tasveer banata hu, tasveer nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

dam bhar ke liye meri duniya me chale aao

dam bhar ke liye meri duniya me chale aao

tarsi hui aankho ko phir shakl dikha jaao

mujhse to meri bigdi, takdir nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

tasveer banata hu, tasveer nahi banti, tasveer nahi banti

tasveer banata hu
