chal ri sajani abb kya soche

babul pachtaye hatho ko mal ke

kahe diya pardes tukde ko dil ke

babul pachtaye hatho ko mal ke

kahe diya pardes tukde ko dil ke

aansu liye soch raha dur khadha re

kajra naa beh jaye rote rote

chal ri sajani abb kya soche

mamta kaa aanchal gudiyo kaa kangna

chhoti badi sakhiya ghar gali angna

mamta kaa aanchal gudiyo kaa kangna

chhoti badi sakhiya ghar gali angna

chhut gaya, chhut gaya, chhut gaya re

chal ri sajani abb kya soche

kajra naa beh jaye rote rote

chal ri sajani abb kya soche

dulhan banke gori khadhi hai

koyi nahi apna kaisi ghadi hai

dulhan banke gori khadhi hai

koyi nahi apna kaisi ghadi hai

koyi yaha, koyi waha, koyi kaha re

chal ri sajani abb kya soche

kajra naa beh jaye rote rote

chal ri sajani abb kya soche

Day 111: Today's song is Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja by Mukesh - Kanhaiya (1959)

It is day 111, magick number 111, and today's song is a song to the enchantress, to the goddess of music and art.

Day 111, and the song is Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja sung by Mukesh from the 1959 movie Kanhaiya, directed by Om Prakash. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Shailendra.

I have not watched this movie, in fact I have not known about this movie until now as I am looking for info on this song Ruk Ja O Janewali Ruk Ja. Must have played on the radio, or was one of songs on the Mukesh greatest hits cassette or something, but I remember the song, and I like the song.

The lyrics seems like the song is sung to a girl/woman, but actually picturized with Raj Kapoor singing to the liquor bottle. Jaanewali can be anybody personified, could be opportunity too. :)

Ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri manzil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Dekha hi nahi tujhko

Surat bhi na pahachani

Tu aake chali chham se

Jyu dhup ke bin pani

Dekha hi nahi tujhko

Surat bhi na pahachani

Tu aake chali chham se

Jyu dhup ke bin pani

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri mazil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Muddat se mere dil ke

Sapno ki tu rani hai

Ab tak na mile lekin

Pahachan purani hai

Muddat se mere dil ke

Sapno ki tu rani hai

Ab tak na mile lekin

Pahachan purani hai

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri mazil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aa pyar ki raho me

Baaho ka sahara le

Duniya jise gaati hai

Uss geet ko dohara le

Aa pyar ki raho me

Baaho ka sahara le

Duniya jise gaati hai

Uss geet ko dohara le

Ruk ja, ruk ja o janewali ruk ja

Main to rahi teri manzil ka

Nazro me teri main bura sahi

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka

Aadami bura nahi main dil ka.

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

Raag: Darbari Kanada

Taal: Rupak    

The movie is a great story written by Om Prakash that shows that God does not necessarily abode in gold, silver or opulent temple, or wear suit, boot and live in style. Rather, God is found in simple and unexpected places. Great movie! I feel I want to watch it again. I am a Raj Kapoor fan anyways, even though he was before my time.

yahi dard mere jigar me hai

mujhe mar dalega bas ye gum

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

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.

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

khud hi mar mitane ki ye zid hai hamari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

dil ka chaman ujadate dekha

pyara ka rang utarate dekha

hamne har jine vale ko

dhan daulat pe marate dekha

dil pe marane vale marenge bhikhari

dil pe marane vale marenge bhikhari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

asali nakali chehare dekhe

dil pe sau sau pahare dekhe

mere dukhate dil se puchho

kya kya khvab sunehare dekhe

tuta jis tare pe nazar thi hamari

tuta jis tare pe nazar thi hamari

sab kuchh sikha hamne na sikhi hoshiyari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

Lyrics:

main to ek khwab hoon, is khwab se tu pyar na kar

main to ek khwab hoon, is khwab se tu pyar na kar

pyar ho jaye to, phir pyar ka izahar na kar

main to ek khwab hoon

ye hawaye kabhi, chupchap chali jayengi

laut ke phir kabhi gulshan me nahi aayengi

apne hatho me hawao ko giraftar na kar

apne hatho me hawao ko giraftar na kar

main to ek khwab hu

tere dil me hai mohabbat ke bhadakate shole

apne sine me chhupa le ye dhadakate shole

is tarah pyar ko ruswa sare bazar na kar

is tarah pyar ko ruswa sare bazar na kar

main to ek khwab hu

shakh se toot ke gunche bhee kahi khilate hai

raat aaur din bhi zamane me kahi milate hai

bhool ja jane de taqadir se takarar na kar

bhool ja jane de taqadir se takarar na kar

main to ek khwab hoon is khwab se tu pyar na kar

main to ek khwab hoon

o janewale ho sake toh laut ke aana

yeh ghat too yeh bant kahi bhul naa jana

de de ke yeh aawaz koyi har ghadi bulaye

fir jaye jo uss par kabhi laut ke naa aaye

hai bhed yeh kaisa koyi kuchh toh batana

tumhari reshmi julfo me

dil ke phul khilte the

kahi phulo ke mausam me

kabhi ham tum bhi milte the

purani vo mulakate

hame sone nahi deti

tumhare pyar ki bate

hame sone nahi deti

suhani chandni rate

hame sone nahi deti

kahi aisa na ho lag jaye 

dil me aag pani se

kahi aisa na ho lag jaye 

dil me aag pani se

badal le rasta apna 

ghatae meharbani se

ke yado ki ye barsate

hame sone nahi deti

tumhare pyar ki bate

hame sone nahi deti

suhani chandni rate

hame sone nahi deti

Lyrics:

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai

Zindagi khwab hai

Dil ne ham se jo kaha

Ham ne waisa hi kiya

Dil ne ham se jo kaha

Ham ne waisa hi kiya

Phir kabhi furasat

Se sochenge

Bura tha ya bhala

Zindagi khwab hai

Ek katara may ka jab

Patthar ke honthon par pada

Ek katara may ka jab

Patthar ke honthon par pada

Us ke seene mein

Bhi dil dhadaka

Ye us ne bhi kaha

Kya zindagi khwaab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai

Zindagi khwab hai

Ek pyaali bhar ke main ne

Gham ke maare dil ko di

Ek pyaali bhar ke main ne

Gham ke maare dil ko di

Zeher ne maara zeher ko

Murde mein phir jaan aa gai

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai.

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.

Here is a rendition with Lyrical video (posted on 05/24/2024):

Here is my rendition of the song singing solo with an acoustic guitar (recorded on 11/07/2022):

Here is another rendition of the song with backing tracks (recorded on 02/26/2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

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

Day 404 of 300: LAST SONG - O Mehbooba by Mukesh - Sangam (1964)

It is day 404 of 300, my LAST SONG, and today's song is O Mehbooba sung by Mukesh from the 1964 movie Sangam directed and produced by Raj Kapoor. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Hasrat Jaipuri.

I started this journey thinking I will sing 300 songs, and here I am on song 404. My last song.

I started this journey as a very below average singer. but I learnt a lot. I have become a better singer and a musician. Granted the quality of recording is average as I used karaoke tracks on apps like Smule and all songs are in a single take. No room to fix errors.

Here is a rendition with backing tracks (posted on Feb 14, 2024):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

voh kaun si mehfil hai jahan tu nahin maujood

voh kaun si mehfil hai jahan tu nahin maujood

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

kis baat pe naraz ho, kis baat ka hai gham

kis soch me doobi ho tum, ho jaayega sangam

kis baat pe naraz ho, kis baat ka hai gham

kis soch me doobi ho tum, ho jaayega sangam

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

guzru main idhar se kabhi, guzru main udhar se

milta hai har ek raasta jaa kar tere ghar se

guzru main idhar se kabhi, guzru main udhar se

milta hai har ek raasta jaa kar tere ghar se

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

baaho ke tujhe haar main pehnaaunga ek din

sab dekhte reh jaayenge, le jaaunga ek din

baaho ke tujhe haar main pehnaaunga ek din

sab dekhte reh jaayenge, le jaaunga ek din

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

voh kaun si mehfil hai jahan tu nahin maujood

o mehbooba, o mehbooba

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood

tere dil ke paas hi hai meri manzil-e-maksood
