Day 190 of 300: Today's song is Akela Hoon Main Is Duniya Mein by Mohammed Rafi - Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962)

It is day 190 of 200. When I started this back in Jan, I was not sure how far I will go. 190 most certainly seemed a very very long ways away. But here I am almost 200, and still 100 more to go, If I am still alive and motivated.

Today is song number 190, and today's song is Akela Hoon Main Is Duniya Mein originally sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1962 movie Baat Ek Raat Ki, directed by Shankar Mukherjee. Music composed by S.D. Burman the great, and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri the great!

What a song! I love it! Lyrics have a profound meaning if only one has ears to hear.

Lyrics:

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main

na to parvana aur na deewana, main kisi mahfil ka

sooni sooni raahe, thaamti hai baahe gam kise manzil ka

na to parvana aur na deewana, main kisi mahfil ka

sooni sooni raahe, thaamti hai baahe gam kise manzil ka

main to hu raahi dil ka

saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main

jaise kabhi pyare jhil ke kinare, hans akela nikle

vaise hi dekho ji, ye man mauji maujo ke seene pe chale

jaise kabhi pyare jhil ke kinare, hans akela nikle

vaise hi dekho ji, ye man mauji maujo ke seene pe chale

chaand sitaro ke tale

saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main is duniya me

koi saathi hai to mera saaya

akela hu main

Lyrics:

Ka karoon sajani aaye na balam

Khoj rahi hai piya

Paradesi ankhiyaan

Khoj rahi hai piya

Paradesi ankhiyaan

Aaye na balam

Jab bhi koi aahat hoe

Manawa mora bhaage

Dekho kahi tute nahi

Prem ke ye dhaage

Ye matawaari prit hamaari

Chhupe na chhupaaye

Chhupe na chhupaaye

Saawan ho tum mai hun

Tori badariya aaye na balam

Ka karoon sajani aaye na balam

Bhor bhai aur saanjh dhali re

Samay ne li agadaai

Ye jag sara nid se hara

Mohe nid na aai

Mai ghabaraaun dar dar jaaun

Aaye wo na aaye aaye wo na aaye

Raadha bulaaye kahaan

Khoe ho kanhaiya aaye na balam

Ka karoon sajani aaye na balam.

Lyrics:

javaniyan ye mast mast bin piye

jalati chal rahi hai raah me diye

na jane iname kisake vaste hun mai

na jane iname kaun hai mere liye

javaniyan ye mast mast bin piye

jalaati chal rahi hai raah me diye

na jane iname kisake vaste hun mai

na jane iname kaun hai mere liye

mere liye mere liye, mere liye mere liye

sabhi hasi sabhi javan, kahan pe dil ko haariye

sabhi hai dil ke mehama

kise kise pukaariye, kise kise pukaariye

javaniyan ye mast mast bin piye

jalaati chal rahi hai raah me diye

na jane iname kisake vaste hun mai

na jane iname kaun hai mere liye

mere liye mere liye, mere liye mere liye

divaane ham the chaah ke, to beqarar ho liye

ke dur ki nigaah ke

gunahagar ho liye, gunahagar ho liye

javaniyan ye mast mast bin piye

jalaati chal rahi hai raah me diye

na jane iname kisake vaste hun mai

na jane iname kaun hai mere liye

mere liye mere liye, mere liye mere liye
