Day 126: Today's song is Chand Mera Dil Chandni Ho Tum by Mohammed Rafi - Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977)

It is day 126, and today's song is Chand Mera Dil Chandni Ho Tum sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1977 movie Hum Kisise Kum Naheen, directed and produced by Nasir Hussain. Music composed by R.D. Burman, lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

A musical masala movie. Was a hit movie and many hit songs, and some super hit songs.

My last post of a Mohammed Rafi song, mere mehboob tujhe, was a not-so-good performance. My apologies! I hope I do better with this song and going forward.

Still not attempting to emulate the original song, just singing the way the words come and the scenes go. :)

Any ways, here it is my rendition of the song:
Lyrics:
Chaand mera dil
Chaandni ho tum
Chaand se hai dur
Chaandni kahaan
Laut ke aana hai yahin tumko
Jaa rahe ho tum jaao meri jaan

Waise to har kadam
Milenge log sanam
Milega saccha pyaar mushkil se
Ho dil ki dosti khel nahin koyi
Dil se dil hai milta
Yaar mushkil se
Yehi to hai sanam
Pyaar ka thikana
Main hun main hun
Main hun

Chaand mera dil
Chaandni ho tum
Chaand se hai dur
Chaandni kahaan
Laut ke aana hai yahin tumko
Jaa rahe ho tum jaao meri jaan
Jaao meri jaan, jaao meri.


Thank you for listening!

Day 125: Today's song is Mere Mehboob Tujhe by Mohammed Rafi - Mere Mehboob (1963)

It is day 125, and today's song is Mere Mehboob Tujhe sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1963 movie Mere Mehboob, directed by H.S. Rawail. Music composed by Naushad, and Lyrics written by Shakeel Badayuni.

Old song, difficult song. Learning these songs are teaching me a lot. Singing and life. Such awesome and deep poetry, retro old classic Bollywood songs used to have.
By no means am I trained to, or attempting to emulate the master who sang this song originally.

Here it is, my rendition, for what it's worth:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Phir mujhe nargisi aankhon ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Bhul sakti nahi aankhe wo suhana manzar
Jab tera husn mere ishq se takraya tha
Aur phir raah me bikhre the hazaro nagme
Mai wo nagme teri aawaaz ko de aaya tha
Saaz-e-dil ko unhi geeto ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Yaad hai mujh ko meri umr ki pehli wo ghadi
Teri aankho se koi jaam piya tha maine
Meri rag rag me koi barq si lehrayi thi
Jab tere marmari hatho ko chhua tha maine
Aa mujhe phir unhi hatho ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Maine ek baar teri ek jhalak dekhi hai
Meri hasrat hai ke mai phir tera deedar karu
Tere saye ko samajhkar mai hasin tajmahal
Chandni raat me nazro se tujhe pyar karu
Apni mehki huyi zulfo ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Dhundhta hu tujhe har raah me har mehfil me
Thak gaye hai meri majboor tamanna ke kadam
Aaj ka din meri umeed ka hai aakhri din
Kal na jane mai kaha aur kaha tu ho sanam
Do ghadi apni nigaho ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Samne aake zara parda uthha de rukh se
Ek yahi mera ilaaj-e-gham-e-tanhayi hai
Teri furkat ne pareshan kiya hai mujh ko
Ab to mil ja ke meri jaan pe ban aayi hai

Dil ko bhuli hui yaado ka sahara de de
Mera khoya hua rangin nazara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Mere mehboob tujhe.


Thank you for listening!

Day 124: Today's song is Gagan Yeh Samjhe by Jaspal Singh - Sawan Ko Aane Do (1979)

It is day 124, and today's song is one of my all time favorites, a song from the 1979 movie Sawan Ko Aane Do. The song titled Gagan Yeh Samjhe is sung by Jaspal Singh. Music composed by Raj Kamal, and lyrics written by Madan Bharti.

Lyrically such an awesome song that reminds us of the simple yet important truth of life. The grass, they say, is always greener on the other side. Perhaps a side effect of having free will?

Any ways, here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chords: ?
Lyrics:
Gagan ye samjhe chaand
Sukhi hai chanda kahe sitaare
Gagan ye samjhe chaand
Sukhi hai chanda kahe sitaare
Dariya ki lahare ye samjhe
Ham se sukhi kinaare
O sathi dukh me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re
O sathi dukh me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re
Bhaiya re sathi re
Bhaiya re ho sathi re

Dur ke parvat dur hi rah
Ke lagate sab ko suhaane
Paas agar jaakar dekhe to
Patthar ki chattaane
Kaliyaa samjhe
Chaman sukhi hai
Chaman kahe re bahaare
O sathi dukh me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re
O sathi dukh me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re
Bhaiya re sathi re
Bhaiya re ho sathi re

Ho…
Hai rama ho hai rama
Raat andheri hai rama
Raat andheri soche man
Me hai din me ujiyaaraa
Din ki garami soch rahi hai
Hai shital adhiyara
O sathi hai shital adhiyara
Patajhad samjhe
Sukhi hai savan
Savan kahe agaare
O sathi dukh mai hi
Sukh hai chhipa re o saathi

O sathi re o bandhu re
Sathi re bandhu re
Nirdhan dhan ki chaah ko
Lekar firta mara mara
Dhan vaalo ko chain nahi
Ye kaisi jag ki maya
Ik duje ko sukhi samajhate
Sukh ko sabhi pukaare
O sathi tuje me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re
O sathi tuje me hi
Sukh hai chhipa re.

Day 121: Today's song is Humne Tumko Dekha by Shailendra Singh - Khel Khel Mein (1975)

It is day 121 and today's song is Humne Tumko Dekha sung by Shailendra Singh from the 1975 movie Khel Khel Mein, directed by Ravi Tandon. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Gulshan Bawra.

I remember radio used to play this song quite often growing up. Perhaps was a hit back then, or just Bollywood marketing strategy.
I always enjoy singing songs sung by Shailendra Singh bhai. He and I have, IMHO, similar timbre, range and texture of the singing voice.

Anyways, here it is, my rendition of the song (sorry, couldn't find a better backing track):
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Hamne tumko dekha
Tumne hamko dekha aise
Hamne tumko dekha
Tumne hamko dekha aise
Are hamne tumko dekha
Tumne hamko dekha aise
Hum tum sanam saathon janam
Milte rahe ho jaise
Oho hamne tumko dekha
Tumne hamko dekha aise
Hum tum sanam saathon janam
Milte rahe ho jaise

Ankhon ka rahe rahe ke
Milna milke jhook jana
Kar dehti hai yehi
Adayen dil ko diwana
Ankhon ka rahe rahe ke
Milna milke jhook jana
Kar dehti hai yehi
Adayen dil ko diwana
Hua yun saamna
Pada dil thamna
Oho hua yun saamna
Pada dil thamna
Oho hamne tumko dekha
Tumne humko dekha aise
Hum tum sanam saathon janam
Milte rahe ho jaise
Hum tum sanam saathon janam
Milte rahe ho jaise

Baste baste bas
Jayegi is dil ki basti
Tab hi jeevan me ayegi
Pyar bhari masti
Baste baste bas
Jayegi is dil ki basti
Tab hi jeevan me ayegi
Pyar bhari masti
Hamari dastaan
Kahega yeh jahan
Oho hamari dastaan
Kahega yeh jahan
Oho hamne tumko dekha
Tumne humko dekha aise
Hum tum sanam saathon
janam milte rahe ho jaise
Oho hamne tumko dekha
Tumne humko dekha aise
Hum tum sanam
La la la la la la.

Day 120 of 300: Today's song is Madhuban Khushboo Deta Hai by Yesudas - Saajan Bina Suhagan (1978)

It is day 120 of 300. Not half way yet, but more than a third of the way.

Today's song is Madhuban Khushboo Deta Hai sung by Yesudas from the 1978 movie Saajan Bina Suhagan, directed and produced by Sawan Kumar. Music composed by Usha Khanna, and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri & Sawan Kumar.

I haven't watched this movie yet, perhaps I will soon.
I know the song from the Yesudas hits tape in my father's music collection. It was one of my favorite tapes growing up.
Here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Madhuban khusbu deta hai
Sagar sawan deta hai
Jina uska jina hai jo oro ko jiwan deta hai
Madhuban khusbu deta hai

Suraj na ban paye to
Banke deepak jalta chal
Suraj na ban paye to
Banke deepak jalta chal
Pul mile ya angare
Sach ki raho pe chalta chal
Sach ki raho pe chalta chal
Pyar dilo ko deta hai
Ashko ko daman deta hai
Jina uska jina hai jo oro ko
Jiwan deta hai
Madhuban khusbu deta hai
Sagar sawan deta hai
Madhuban khusbu deta hai

Chalti hai laharake pawan
Ke sans sabhi ki chalti rahe
Chalti hai laharake pawan
Ke sans sabhi ki chalti rahe
Logo ne tyag diye jiwan
Ke preet dilo me palti rahe
Ke preet dilo me palti rahe
Dil wo dil hai jo
Oro ko apni dhadkan deta hai
Jina uska jo oro ko jiwan deta hai
Madhuban khusbu sagar jiwan deta hai
Madhuban khusbu.

Day 119: Today's song is Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dware by Manna Dey - Dekh Kabira Roya (1957)

It's been a tiring day, and there are still tasks to be done today...sometimes I wonder why I am singing these songs.....oH right, 300 songs is the target, and #119 is more than a third of the way to the target. I must admit I am learning a lot, but I must also admit that this is a time taking process. Perhaps I may be needed somewhere else more than time being spent in self indulgence! :) 
Yes, I did say, I am learning a lot.

It is day 119, and today's song is Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dware sung by Manna Dey from the 1957 movie Dekh Kabira Roya, directed and produced by Amiya Chakrabarty. Music composed by Madan Mohan, and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

The movie, I have not seen. Reading thought wiki page, looks to be a good comedy movie. Perhaps I will watch it tonight.

The song is not a very well known song. I know it from the Manna Dey cassette tape that was in my father's music collection. We used to listen to as kids. Once in a while radio or chitrahaar must have played the song too. I think.

This turned out to be a difficult song to sing. I am not attempting to copy or emulate the original.
Pardon my flaws. 
Here, it is, my rendition of the song:
Chords: ?
Lyrics:
kaun aayaa. kaun aayaa.

kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
paayal ki jhanakaar liye
kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
paayal ki jhanakaar liye
kaun aayaa

aankh na jaane, dil pahachaane
suratiyaa kuchh aisi
aankh na jaane, dil pahachaane
suratiyaa kuchh aisi
yaad karun to, yaad na aaye
muratiyaa ye kaisi
paagal manavaa, soch me dubaa
sapano kaa sasaar liye
kaun aayaa

ik pal sochu, meri aashaa
rup badal kar aai
ik pal sochu, meri aashaa
rup badal kar aai
duje pal phir, dhyaan ye aae
ho na kahi parachhaai
jo paradesi ke, ghar aai
ek anokhaa pyaar liye
kaun aayaa


Thank you for listening!

It is day 117, and today's song is Bekarar Dil Tu Gaye Ja sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1971 movie Door Ka Raahi, directed by Kishore Kumar. Music composed by Kishore Kumar, and lyrics written by Irshad Jallili.

Good song!
Here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Beqaraar dil tu gaaye jaa
Khushiyo se bhare wo taraane
Jinhe sun ke duniya jhum uthe
Aur jhum uthe dil deewane
Beqaraar dil

Raag ho koi milan kaa
Sukh se bhari saragam ka
Yug yug ke badhan kaa
Saath ho laakho janam ka
Aise hi bahaare gaati rahe
Aur sajate rahe viraane
Jinhe sun ke...

Raat yun hi tham jaayegi
Rut ye hasi musakaaegi
Badhi kali khil jaayegi
Aur shabanam sharamaayegi
Pyaar ke wo kaise nagame
Jo ban jaaye afasane
Jinhe sun ke...

Dard me dubi dhun ho
Sine me ik sulagan ho
Saaso mein halaki chubhan ho
Sahami hui dhadakan ho
Doharaate rahe bas git ye aa
Duniya se rahe begaane
Jinhe sun ke...


Thank you for listening!

Kaun ho tum batalaao
Der se kitani dur khadi ho

Zulfo me ek cheharaa
Kuchh zaahir kuchh nihaar

Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat

Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho

Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho

Dhadakano ne suni
Ek sadaa paao ki
Dhadakano ne suni
Ek sadaa paao ki
Aur dil pe laharaai
Aanchal ki chhaao si
Aur dil pe laharaai
Aanchal ki chhaao si

Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao

Chal deti ho kitane
Afasaane chhod ke
Chal deti ho kitane
Afasaane chhod ke

Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat

Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao

Phir pukaaro mujhe
Phir meraa naam lo
Phir pukaaro mujhe
Phir meraa naam lo
Girataa hun phir apni
Baaho me thaam lo
Girataa hun phir apni
Baaho me thaam lo

Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho

Day 114: Today's song is Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo by Mahendra Kapoor - Hamraaz (1967)

It is day 114, and today's song is Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo sung by Mahendra Kapoor from the 1967 movie Hamraaz, directed and produced by B.R. Chopra. Music composed by Ravi, and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

I have not watched this movie, I think I will watch it and see. I think it was hit movie in it's times.

Anyways, here it is my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
tum agar sath dene kaa vada karo
mai yu hee mast nagme lutata rahu
tum mujhe dekh kar muskuratee raho
mai tumhe dekh kar git gata rahu

kitne jalwe fijao me bikhare magar
maine abb tak kisee ko pukara nahee
tumko dekha toh najrein yeh kehne lagi
hamko chehre se hatna gavara nahee
tum agar meree najaro ke aage raho
mai har ek shaiy se najrein churata rahu
tum agar sath dene kaa vada karo

maine khwabo me barso tarasha jise
tum vahee sange marmar kee tasvir ho
tum naa samjho tumhara mukkadar hu mai
mai samajhta hu tum meree takdir ho
tum agar mujhko apna samajhane lago
me baharo kee mehfil sajata rahu
tum agar sath dene kaa vada karo

main akela bahut der chalta raha
ab safar jindgani ka katta nahi
jab talak koi rangeen sahara na ho
waqt kaafir jawani ka katta nahi
tum agar humkadam banke chalti raho
main zameen par sitaare bichhata rahun
tum agar sath dene kaa vada karo

Day 113: Today's song is Chala Jata Hoon by Kishore Kumar - Mere Jeevan Saathi (1972)

It is day 113, and today's song is Chala Jata Hoon sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1972 movie Mere Jeevan Saathi. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

The yodel song, or must I say, one of the few yodeling songs that Kishore Da has sung so brilliantly!

Movie, I have not seen, but I will see if I can find it and watch it.

Anyway, here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com/
Lyrics:
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye
Milan ki masti, bhari aankho me
Hazaaro sapane, suhaane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye

Ye masti ke, nazaare hai, to aise me
Sambhalanaa kaisaa meri qasam
Woh laharaati, dagariyaa ho, to phir kyun naa
Chalun mai bahakaa bahakaa re
Mere jivan me, ye shaam aai hai
Muhabbat vaale, zamaane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye

Vo aalam bhi, ajab hogaa, vo jab mere
Karib aaegi meri qasam
Kabhi baiyyaa chhudaa legi, kabhi hansake
Gale se lag jaaegi haay
Meri baaho me, machal jaaegi
Vo sachche jhuthe bahaane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye

Milan ki masti, bhari aankho me
Hazaaro sapane, suhaane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye

Bahaaro me, nazaaro me, nazar daalun
To aisaa laage meri qasam
Vo naino me, bhare kaajal, ghughat khole
Khadi hai mere aage re
Sharam se bojhal jhuki palako me
Javaan raato ke fasaane liye
Chalaa jaataa hun, kisi ki dhun me
Dhadakate dil ke, taraane liye.

Day 112: Today's song is Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam - Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994)

It is day 112, and today's song is Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai sung by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam from the 1994 movie Hum Aapke Hain Koun, written and directed by Sooraj Barjatya. Music composed by Raam Laxman, and lyrics by Dev Kohli.

I remember watching the movie when it was released. Very long movie, very colorful movie.
Not sure I have anything more to say about the movie, but the song is a good song, perhaps because of SPB could make anything shine.
Not by any means attempting to copy SPB the great, but just an attempt to emote the song as I see it in the scene in my head.
Here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordsindichords.com
Lyrics:
Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai
Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai
Jan ke bhi anjana, kaisa meraa yar hai
Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai

Uski najar, palko ki chilman se
Mujhe dekhti, uski najar
Uski haya, apani hi chahat kaa
Raaz kholati, uski haya
Chhup ke kare jo wafa, aisa meraa yar hai
O o o
Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai

Woh hai nisha, woh hi meri zindagi ki
Bhor hai, woh hai nisha
Use hai pata, uskae hi hatho mein
Meri dor hai, use hai pata
Sare jahan se juda, aisa mera pyar hai

O o o 

Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai
Pehla pehla pyar hai, pehali pehali bar hai.

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. :)

Anyways, here is my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
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.

Sapano ki nauka ke andar
Sukh dukh ki laharo me uth gir
Bahata jata main so jaata
Koi gata main so jaata
Koi gata

Ankho me lekar pyar amar
Ashish hatheli me bhar kar
Koi mera sar godi me rakh
Sahalata main so jaata
Koi gata main so jaata
Koi gata

Mere jivan ka karajal
Mere jivan ka halahal
Mere
Mere jivan ka karajal
Mere jivan ka halahal
Koi apane svar
Me madumay kar
Doharata main so jaata
Koi gata main so jaata
Koi gata main so jaata
Main so jaata main so jaata
Koi gata main so jaata.

Day 107: Today's song is Yaad Aa Raha Hai by Bappi Lahiri - Disco Dancer (1982)

It is day 107, and today's song is Yaad Aa Raha Hai sung by Bappi Lahiri from the 1982 blockbuster super hit movie Disco Dancer, directed and produced by Babbar Subhash. Music composed by Bappi Lahiri, and lyrics written by Anjaan (is/was Anjaan really one person or a few "not known" people, I wonder)

The movie and it's songs had impact on the local cultures for at least 6 years straight after it's release. It is said the movie was 4 years old and was still playing one show in one movie theatre in few cities. I think that is quite a feat, to have the movie run for 4 years straight. For the first couple years, I am sure the movie ran in multiple theaters in many cities.

This movie also opened avenues for Bappi Da to explore and adapt western pop, disco and rock music.

I remember belting out this song as a kid, In fact we had a tape of all the songs from this movie and I knew all of them by heart. In my 4th grade school, I remember singing on stage in a school event, a not so well know song from this movie, Krishna Dharti Pe Aaja. I still love that song.

Here is my rendition of the song Yaad Aa Raha Hai:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Kahan hum kahan tum
Hue tum kahan gum
Aabhi ja abhi ja ek baar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Kahan hum kahan tum
Hue tum kahan gum
Aabhi ja abhi ja ek baar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar

Yaroon
Mein to yahan jeeta raha
Saare gum dil ke bhoolake
Deke tumhe saari kushi
Maine 
Maine yahan
Kuch bhi to paya nahi
Sab kuch paake
Mujhko mile kya zindagi
Ho hhoohohooo
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Kahan hum kahan tum
Hue tum kahan gum
Aabhi ja abhi ja ek baar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar

Aye dil 
Mein wohi tu wohi
Wohi hai ye duniya ke mele
Bichde woh din jane kahan
Roothe 
Sab yahan jane kahan
Reh gaye hum to akele
Awaaz de kisko yahan
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Kahan hum kahan tum
Hue tum kahan gum
Aabhi ja abhi ja ek baar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar

Wada 
Wada raha sathi mere
Tere liye gata chala jao
Tu mera dil tu meri jaan
Jeena 
Jeena mere jeena
Yehi tere liye zindagi lootau
Tu jo nahi kya hai yahan
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar
Kahan hum kahan tum
Hue tum kahan gum
Aabhi ja abhi ja ek baar
Yaad aa raha hai tera pyaar.


Thank you for listening!

Day 106: Today's song is Dur Dur Tum Rahe Pukarte Hum Rahe by Lata Mangeshkar - Chalte Chalte (1976)

It is day 106, and today's song is Dur Dur Tum Rahe Pukarte Hum Rahe sung by Lata Mangeshkar from the 1976 movie Chalte Chalte, directed by Sunder Dar, and produced by Bhisham Kohli (aka Vishal Anand). Music composed by Bappi Lahiri, and lyrics written by Amit Khanna.

IMHO, easily the best music that Bappi Lahiri created in Bollywood Hindi movies scene. This I felt, was about the most original that Bappi da's composition was before he started copying pop and rock beats, grooves and melodies. But alas! This song is a copy of #Rain Drops Keep Falling on my head.

This song is not a well know song, but I love this song, because I know it from the Chalte Chalte tape that my father's collection used to have, and I used to play the tape often. I think I like all the songs from the movie and the music has soul.

The movie too is great, and very well made. I watched this movie a few days ago, and I liked it. I enjoyed the movie more as I also knew all the songs, and did I mention, good music from Bappi Da.

Any ways, here it is my rendition of the song that Lata ji sang so gracefully, and I know I can never emote that:
Chords: ?
Lyrics:
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na
aakar baaho me sama kar aaho me
ab yu nazar ko churao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na
aakar baaho me sama kar aaho me
ab yu nazar ko churao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na

aaj raat ko husn ishk ko
phir bula raha hai, phir bula raha hai
aag pani me kis pyar se
phir mila raha hai, phir mila raha hai
phir se wo pyari bahar ke din
aaj tum le aao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na
aakar baaho me sama kar aaho me
ab yu nazar ko churao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na

chalte chalte kahi bich raah me
kho gaye the tum, kho gaye the tum
pyar me kho kar hamare hi ho kar
ho gaye the gum, ho gaye the gum
pyasi tumhari kabse hu main
ab tum tarasao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat tum jao na
aakar baaho me sama kar aaho me
ab yu nazar ko churao na
dur dur tum rahe pukarte hum rahe
aaj ki raat.



Thank you listening!

Day 105: Today's song is Ek Ritu Aaye Ek Ritu Jaye by Kishore Kumar - Gautam Govinda (1979)

It is day 105, and today's song is Ek Ritu Aaye Ek Ritu Jaye sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1979 movie Gautam Govinda, directed by Subhash Ghai. Music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.

Sad song in haunting voice of Kishore da, I surely cannot emulate, So here is my rendition of the song:
Chords: ?
Lyrics:
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib
kaun jatan karu kaun upaye
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib

tak tak sukhe parvat, aankhe taras gayi
baadal to na barase, aankhe baras gayi
tak tak sukhe parvat, aankhe taras gayi
baadal to na barase, aankhe baras gayi
baras baras dukh badhataa jaye
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib

pyaasi bajar dharati, kisakaa pet bhare o
bhukhe pyaase bachche, kheti kaun kare
pyaasi bajar dharati, kisakaa pet bhare
bhukhe pyaase bachche, kheti kaun kare
maan ki mamataa nir bahaaye
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib

pyaar na seekha, nafarat karana seekh liya
sab logo ne ladana, marana seekh liya
pyaar na seekha, nafarat karana seekh liya
sab logo ne ladana, marana seekh liya
inako jinaa kaun sikhaaye
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib
kaun jatan karu kaun upaye
ek ritu aaye ek ritu jaye, mausam badale naa badale nasib.

Day 104: Today's song is Jiya O Jiya Kuchh Bol Do by Mohammed Rafi - Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961)

It is day 104, and today's song is Jiya O Jiya Kuchh Bol Do sung by Mohammed Rafi from the 1961 movie Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai, directed and produced by Nasir Hussain. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Hasrat Jaipuri.

Not sure if I ever watched this movie, I don't recall. Perhaps something to check out and see.
This song, I remember listening to on the radio, but I had forgotten about it until I think I came across it on a Spotify playlist, which brought back memories, and then I had to refresh and learn the song.

I think I did a fair job at singing the song.
Any ways, here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do, are o dil ka parda khol do
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do, are o dil ka parda khol do
jab pyar kisise hota hai, toh dard sa dil me hota hai
tum ek hasin ho lakho me, bhala pake tumhe koyi khota hai
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do

najro se kitne tir chale, chalne do jigar par jhelenge
in pyar ki ujli raaho par, ham jan ki baji khelenge
in do naino ke sagar me, koyi dil ki naiya dubota hai
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do, are o dil ka parda khol do
jab pyar kisise hota hai, toh dard sa dil me hota hai
tum ek hasin ho lakho me, bhala pake tumhe koyi khota hai
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do

tum bhi toh is aag me jalte ho, chehre se bayan ho jata hai
har bat pe aahe bharte ho, har bat pe dil tharrata hai
jab dil pe chhuriya chalti hai, toh chain se koyi sota hai
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do, are o dil ka parda khol do
jab pyar kisise hota hai, toh dard sa dil me hota hai
tum ek hasin ho lakho me, bhala pake tumhe koyi khota hai
o jiya o, jiya o jiya kuchh bol do

I have not watched this movie and this is a very beautiful and intoxicating love song. The feeling of being in love. Good song, I like it.

So, here it is, my rendition:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Chaahe tum kuch na kaho,
Maine sun liya…ke saathi pyaar ka…
Mujhe chun liya….
Chun liyaaaa..maine sun liyaa

Pehla nasha…pehla khummar
Naya pyaar hai…naya intezaar
Karloo mein kya apna haal…
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dile beqaraar…tu hi bata..
Pehla nasha..pehla khummar

Udthaa hi phirum in hawaom mein kahi
Yaa mein jhool jaavu in ghattavom mein kahi….
Udthaa hi phirum in hawaom mein kahi
Yaa mein jhool jaavu in ghattavom mein kahi….
Ek kar doo aasman aur zameen…
Kaho yaaron kya karu kya nahi..

Pehla nasha…pehla khummar
Naya pyaar hai…naya intezaar
Karloo mein kya apna haal…
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dile bekaraar…tu hi bata..
Pehla nasha..pehla hummar

Usne baath ki kuch aise dang se
Sapne de gaya hazaaron rang ke
Usne baath ki kuch aise dang se
Sapne de gaya hazaaron rang ke
Rah jaau jaise mein haar ke..
Aur choome vo mujhe pyaar se

Pehla nasha…pehla hummar
Naya pyaar hai…naya intezaar
Karloo mein kya apna haal…
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dile beqaraar…tu hi bata.

Day 100 of 300: Today's song is Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera by Asha Bhosle - Mere Sanam (1965)

ONE HUNDRED! Quite a landmark for me. 100 of 300. Third of a way, and two thirds of the way to go. 
Again, just to re-iterate, My attempt is not to copy or reproduce the original song. This was merely my decision I made, back on Jan 28 2021, to learn and sing 300 classic Bollywood old songs, and my goal is to be able to emote the lyrics and feel of the song. Mostly, I am doing this just to keep my word to myself. It is being a good learning experience, not just in singing but in life too.

It is day 100 of 300, and today's song is Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera sung by Asha Bhosle from the 1965 movie Mere Sanam, directed by Amar Kumar and produced by G.P. Sippy. Music composed by O.P. Nayyar and Lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

This is my first post of a song sung by Asha Bhosle. 
She had quite a style and no wonder was quite a pair with R.D. Burman saab. She can be Indian classical-ly, yet quite sultry and quite rocky n' poppy when needed. 
Quite a bit to learn from her singing style.

Any ways, here it is, my rendition of the song:
Chordstabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Lyrics:
Ye hai reshami zulfo ka
Andhera na gabhraiye
Jahaa tak mahak hai
Mere gesuo ki chale aaiye
Ye hai reshami zulfo ka
Andhera na gabhraiye
Jahaa tak mahak hai
Mere gesuo ki chale aaiye
Ye hai reshami zulfo ka
Andhera na gabhraiye
Jahaa tak mahak hai
Mere gesuo ki chale aaiye

Suniye to zaraa jo haqikat
Hai kahate hai ham
Khulate rukate in
Ragi labo ki kasam
Jal uthenge diye
Juganuo ki tarah
Jal uthenge diye
Juganuo ki tarah
Ye tabassum to faramaaiye
Ye hai reshami zulfo ka
Andhera na gabhraiye
Jahaa tak mahak hai
Mere gesuo ki chale aaiye

Lalaa laa laa lar lar laa

Pyaasi hai nazar haa ye
Bhi kahane ki hai baat kya
Tum ho mehamaa to na
Thaharegi ye raat kya
Raat jaaye rahe aap dil me mere
Raat jaaye rahe aap dil me mere
Aramaa ban ke rah jaaiye
Ye hai reshami zulfo ka
Andhera na gabhraiye
Jahaa tak mahak hai
Mere gesuo ki chale aaiye.


Thank you for listening!
