Great movie! I watched it quite some time ago. Perhaps it is time to watch again.

This is one of my favorite songs.

When I started learning and singing Bollywood songs a couple years ago, this song was one of the first, or probably the first song that I learned and sang, Thanks to karaoke.

Lyrics:

oh re taal mile nadi ke jal me

nadi mile sagar me

sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na

oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

suraj ko dharti tarse dharti ko chandrama

dharti ko chandrama

pani me seep jaise pyaasi har aatmaa

pyasi har aatmaa

o mitava re e e e e

pani me seep jaise pyasi har aatmaa

boond chhupi kis baadal me koi jane na

oh re taal mile nadi ke jal me

nadi mile sagar me

sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na

oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

anjane hotho par tu pahchane geet hai

pahachne geet hai

kal tak jo begane the janamo ke meet hai

janamo ke meet hai

o mitava re e e e

kal tak jo begane the janamo ke meet hai

kya hoga kaun se pal me koi jane na

oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

nadi mile sagar me

sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na

oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

Day 24: Today's song is Aapke Anurodh Pe by Kishore Kumar - Anurodh (1977)

It is day 24, and today's song is a song I remember quite well from my childhood. In fact, I remember watching the movie as a kid and liking this song, and I also remember tinkering with singing this song and trying to play it on my father's harmonium. Those were the days.

The song is titled Aapke Anurodh Pe, from the 1977 movie Anurodh, directed by Shakti Samanta. Music composed by the Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi. The trio of Kishore Kumar, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Anand Bakshi went on to create many great hits in the history of Bollywood.

Lyrics:

Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Apne dil ki baaton se aap ka dil behlata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe

Mat poochho auron ke dukh mein

Yeh prem kavi kyon rota hai

Mat poochho auron ke dukh mein

Yeh prem kavi kyon rota hai

Bas chot kisi ko lagti hai

Aur dard kisi ko hota hai

Door kahin koi darpan toote

Tadap ke main reh jaata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Tareef main jiski karta hoon

Tareef main jiski karta hoon

Kya roop hai woh kya khushbu hai

Kuchh baat nahi aisi koi

Yeh ek suron ka jaadu hai

Koyal ki ek kook se sabke

Dil man mein hook uthata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main pehne phirta hoon jo

Woh zanjeerein kaise banti hain

Main pehne phirta hoon jo

Woh zanjeerein kaise banti hain

Yeh bhed bata doon geeton mein

Tasveerein kaise banti hain

Sundar honthon ki laali se

Main rang roop churata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Apne dil ki baaton se aap ka dil behlata hoon

Aap ke anurodh pe

Day 292: Today's song is Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo by Mukesh - Teesri Kasam (1966)

It is day 292 and today's song is Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo sung by Mukesh from the 1966 movie Teesri Kasam directed by Basu Bhattacharya and produced by Shailendra. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Shailendra.

Raag: Asavari

Taal: Kaherava

Such simple and great lyrics. Straight forward, but definitely ignored. Why do I say that? Just look at the state of the human world. Speak-the-truth only exists mostly on papers and not practiced. From organizations, corporations to politicians to day to people, many  lie, just to gain financial profit. This reminds me of couple lines from another song:

Ab to Imaan dharam ki koi keemat hi nahi,

Jaise sach bolne walon ki zarurat hi nahi

Now, integrity and righteousness has no value at all,

As if truth speakers are not required at all

Lyrics:

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

na haathi hai naa ghodaa hai,

wahaan paidal hi jaanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

na haathi hai naa ghodaa hai,

wahaan paidal hi jaanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo

tumhaare mahal chaubaare,

yahin rah jaayenge saare

tumhaare mahal chaubaare,

yahin rah jaayenge saare

akad kis baat ki pyaare

akad kis baat ki pyaare,

ye sar phir bhi jhukaanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

bhalaa keejai bhalaa hogaa,

buraa keejai buraa hogaa

bhalaa keejai bhalaa hogaa,

buraa keejai buraa hogaa

bahi likh likh ke kyaa hogaa

bahi likh likh ke kyaa hogaa,

yahin sab kuchh chukaanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

ladakpan khel mein khoyaa,

jawaani neend bhar soyaa

ladakpan khel mein khoyaa,

jawaani neend bhar soyaa

budhaapaa dekh kar royaa

budhaapaa dekh kar royaa,

wahi kissaa puraanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

na haathi hai naa ghodaa hai,

wahaan paidal hi jaanaa hai

sajan re jhooth mat bolo,

khudaa ke paas jaanaa hai

A real good sad song from a movie that I do not recall ever watching. Perhaps I will watch it soon. Great song, and most anybody who is into Bollywood Hindi songs will know this song. Growing up, it used to play a lot on radio, TV, etc.

Here is a recent rendition with lyrical video (Posted on Oct 10, 2025):

Anyways, here it is, my rendition of the song (Posted on May 11, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/

Lyrics:

Mera Jeevan

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Jo likha tha

Jo likha tha aansuon ke sang beh gaya

Mera jeevan

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Ik hawa ka jhonka aaya

Ho ik hawa ka jhonka aaya

Toota daali se phool

Toota daali se phool

Na pawan ki, na chaman ki

Kiski hai yeh bhool

Kiski hai yeh bhool

Kho gayi

Kho gayi khushboo hawa mein

Kuchh na reh gaya Mera jeevan

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Udte panchhi ka thikana

Udte panchhi ka thikana

Mera na koi jahan

Mera na koi jahan

Na dagar hai, na khabar hai

Jana hai mujhko kahan

Jana hai mujhko kahan

Ban ke sapna

Ban ke sapna humsafar ka sath reh haya

Mera jeevan

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Part 2

Dukh ke andar sukh ki jyoti

Dukh hi sukh ka gyan

Dukh hi sukh ka gyan

Dard seh ke janam leta

Har koi insan

Har koi insan

Woh sukhi hai

Woh sukhi hai

Jo khushi se dard seh gaya

Mera jeevan

Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya.

Lyrics:

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

na zami manzil na aasma, zindagi hain zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

pichhe dekhe na, kabhi mud ke raaho me

jhume mera dil, tumhe leke baaho me

dhadkano ki zubaa, neet kahe daasta

pyar ki jhil-mil chhav me palti rahe zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

na zami manzil na aasma, zindagi hain zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

behte chale hum masti ke dhaaro me

gunje yahi dhun sada dil ke taaro me

ab ruke na kahi pyar ka kaarwa

neet nayi rut ke rang me dhalti rahe zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

na zami manzil na aasma, zindagi hain zindagi

tum bhi chalo hum bhi chale, chalti rahe zindagi

chalti rahe zindagi
