Day 85: Today's song is Pukarta Chala Hoon Main by Mohammed Rafi - Mere Sanam (1965)

It is day 85, and today's song is Pukarta Chala Hoon Main sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1965 movie Mere Sanam, directed by Amar Kumar and produced by G.P. Sippy. Music composed by the legendary O.P. Nayyar and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Great song! Guitar based, very Spanish music influenced song. 

I remember watching this movie on T.V. when I was a kid growing up in India. It's a good comedy romance drama movie. This film is the unofficial remake of Come September, which is a 1961 romantic comedy. I don't mind watching the movie again. Definitely a good song to cover singing with an acoustic guitar. Perhaps I will do that someday.

Lyrics: 

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhaanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigaah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhaanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigaah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Ye dillagi ye shokhiya salam ki

Yahi to baat ho rahi hai kaam ki

Koi to mood ke dekh lega is taraf

Koi nazar to hogi mere naam ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Suni meri sada to kis yakin se

Ghata utar ke aa gayi zameen pe

Rahi yahi lagan to ai dil-e-jawa

Asar bhi ho rahega ek haseen pe

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Day 7: Today's song is Chandan Sa Badan by Mukesh - Saraswatichandra (1968)

Day 7, today I go back to the black and white era. 1968 movie Saraswatichandra, directed by Govind Saraiya. Music direction by Kalyanji-Anandji, and lyrics by Indeevar, this song Chanda Sa Badan sung by Mukesh and Lata in the movie is a memorable song which has gone on to become a timeless classic, a masterpiece set to the lilting melody of raga Yaman Kalyan.

I have always loved this song from the time I heard it in my childhood when the cassette tape of this song used to be played at home, or if and when radio or TV (chitrahaar) played this song. Beautiful song.

Lyrics:

Chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

dheere se teraa ye muskaanaa

chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

dheere se teraa ye muskaanaa

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon o

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon

Ho jaaye agar dil deewaanaa

Chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

ye kaam kamaan bhanve teri

palkon ke kinaare kajraare

ye kaam kamaan bhanve teri

palkon ke kinaare kajraare

maathe par sindoori sooraj

hothon pe dahakte angaare

saayaa bhi jo teraa pad jaaye

saayaa bhi jo teraa pad jaaye

aabaad ho dil kaa veeraanaa

chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

Tan bhi sundar man bhi sundar

tu sundartaa ki moorat hai

Kisi aur ko shaayad kam hogi

mujhe teri bahut zaroorat hai

Pehle bhi bahut dil tarsaa hai

Pehle bhi bahut dil tarsaa hai

tu aur na dil ko tarsaanaa

chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

dheere se teraa ye muskaanaa

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon o

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon

Ho jaaye agar dil deewaanaa

Chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

Day 171: Today's song is Poochho Na Kaise Maine Rain Bitaayi by Manna Dey - Meri Surat Teri Aankhen (1963)

It is day 171, and today's song is Poochho Na Kaise Maine Rain Bitaayi sung by Manna Dey from the 1963 movie Meri Surat Teri Aankhen, directed by R.K. Rakhan. Music composed by S.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Shailendra.

Good movie! I remember watching it about a year ago or something.

A difficult song this one. Took lots of effort to learn it, and still, by no means am I attempting to copy the original.

Here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on Sept 08, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Yug bitey mohe neend na aayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Man mera ha mera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Tadpat tarsat umar gawayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Bhor bhi aas ki kiran na laayi

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai.
