Lyrics:
aa ab laut chale
aa ab laut chale
nain bichaye baahe pasare
tujhko pukare desh tera
aa ab laut chale
aa ab laut chale
nain bichaye baahe pasare
tujhko pukare desh tera

sahaj hai sidhi raah pe sahaj chalna
dekh ke uljhan bach ke nikalna
koi ye chahe maane na maane
bahut hai mushkil gir ke sambhlana
aa ab laut chale

aankh hamari manzil par hai
dil me khushi ki mast lahar hai
lakh lubhaye mahal paraye
apna ghar phir apna ghar hai

Day 276: Today's song is Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer by Kishore Kumar - Mahaan (1983)

It is day 276 and today's song is Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1983 movie Mahaan directed by S. Ramanathan. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Anjaan.

Raag: not sure, perhaps a blend of couple. comment if you know.
Taal: Kaherava

Not a popular songs this, but certainly an underrated song. Even I did not have this song on my list for the 300 Bollywood classics that I decided to learn, sing and post on my YouTube channel Puraane Gaane back in January 2021. But, I was in India for few weeks in January-February this year and one day while I was killing the afternoon time browsing channels since my parents were taking a siesta, I came across this movie, Mahaan with Amitabh Bachchan in triple role. So, just for the heck of it, I started watching it, and there was this song. I remember this song as a boy from my father's music collection. I liked it back then, I like it now too.

Great song! Even though picturized as a romantic song, to me this song is a bhajan, singing to the one and only, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent source, undivided and untouched by religion or politics.

Any ever I look, I see your image.

Here is my brief instrumental rendition of the song on an electric guitar (posted on Jan 19, 2023):

Lyrics:
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
teri surat meri taqadir nazar aati hai

zinda hun mai tere liye jivan tera hai
mera hai jo sab hai tera ab kya mera hai
meri khushiyo ki tu jagir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai

bina dekhe bina jaane tan man bandhe jo
badhan jo janam janam mar ke juda na ho
teri chahat vahi zanjir nazar aati hai
jidhar dekhoon teri tasavir nazar aati hai
teri surat meri taqadir nazar aati hai

Day 101: Today's song is Chalte Chalte by Kishore Kumar - Chalte Chalte (1976)

It is day 101, and today's song is Chalte Chalte sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1976 movie Chalte Chalte, directed by Sunder Dar and produced by Bhisham Kohli. Music composed by Bappi Lahiri, and lyrics written by Amit Khanna.

This has to be one of the quintessential Bollywood classics that most everybody into Bollywood music will know, and I am sure there are several remixes and versions of this song on the cyber space. A super hit song. Bappi Lahiri's first big hit song.

I myself, have some memories connected with this song, playing on the radio, and also perhaps from watching the movie as a toddler. The movie itself is an Indian adaptation of the movie Play Misty for Me. Similar story to the later made Hollywood movie Fatal Attraction.

Here is my solo rendition with an acoustic guitar (posted on Jan 15, 2023):

rote hanste bas yuhi tum gungunate rehna
kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

pyar karte karte ham tum kahi kho jayenge
inhi baharo ke aanchal me thak ke so jayenge
pyar karte karte ham tum kahi kho jayenge

sapno ko phir bhi tum yuhi sajate rehna
kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna
chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna
kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

beech rah me dilbar bichhad jaye kahi hum agar
aur suni si lage tumhe jivan ki ye dagar
beech rah me dilbar bichhad jaye kahi hum agar
aur suni si lage tumhe jivan ki ye dagar
hum laut aayenge tum yuhi bulate rehna

Day 78: Today's song is Ruk Jana Nahin by Kishore Kumar - Imtihan (1974)

It is day 78 and today's song is Ruk Jana Nahin sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1974 movie Imtihan, directed by Madan Sinha. Music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Very nice and inspiring song, both my melody and lyrics. Kind of like the eye of the tiger in the movie Rocky. Very inspiring and motivational song. The song urges to never lose and stop but keep going on even if alone. I love this song. One of my favorite songs.

The backing track quality is slightly compromised at places, but that is about the best I could find.
So here it, my rendition of the song:

Live Acoustic version:

Karaoke Version:

Lyrics:
ruk jaanaa nahiin tuu kahiin haar ke
kaanton pe chalake milenge saaye bahaar ke
o raahii, o raahii

suuraj dekh ruk gayaa hai tere aage jhuk gayaa hai
jab kabhii aise koii mastaanaa
nikale hai apanii dhun men diivaanaa
shaam suhaanii ban jaate hain din intazaar ke
o raahii, o raahii

saathii na kaaravaan hai ye teraa imtihaan hai
yuun hii chalaa chal dil ke sahaare
karatii hai manzil tujhako ishaare
dekh kahiin koii rok nahiin le tujhako pukaar ke
o raahii, o raahii

nain aansuu jo liye hain ye raahon ke diye hain
logon ko unakaa sab kuchh deke
tuu to chalaa thaa sapane hii leke
koii nahiin to tere apane hain sapane ye pyaar ke
o raahii, o raahii

I know this song from childhood, but I know not the movie. Reading the story of the movie on imdb does not motivate me to watch the movie. Not a very interesting movie story, but this song is very good and has very profound lyrics.

Here is my solo acoustic guitar rendition of the song (posted on Dec 16, 2022):

Tera mela pichhe chhuta rahi

Hazaro mil lambe raste tujhko bulate
Yaha dukhde sahne ke vaste tujhko bulate 
Hai kon sa vo insan yaha pe jis ne dukh na jhela

Chal akela chal akela
Chal akela
Tera mela pichhe chhuta rahi
Chal akela 
Chal akela chal akela 
Chal akela
Tera mela pichhe Chhuta rahi
Chal akela

Tera koi sath na de to tu khud se prit jod le
Bichhauna dharti ko karke arey aakash odh le 
Yahan pura khel abhi jivan ka tune kaha hai khela

Chal akela chal akela
Chal akela
Tera mela pichhe chhuta rahi
Chal akela 
Chal akela chal akela 
Chal akela
Tera mela pichhe Chhuta rahi
Chal akela

kasam hai tumhe tum agar mujhse ruthe
kasam hai tumhe tum agar mujhse ruthe
rahe saas jab tak ye bandhan na tute
tumhe dil diyaa hai ye vaadaa kiyaa hai
sanam mai tumhaari rahungi sadaa

Day 4: Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki, a hit song sung by Mohammed Rafi - Dulari (1949)

 It is day 4, and today I chose to sing one of my favorite old time song from 1949. When this song was released, it was just two years since India had achieved independence from the rule of the British empire. This song is definitely decades before I or most of you were born. This song used to popularly played on radio when I was a boy, so I do have some memories of this song.

Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki is a hit song from the movie Dulari, directed by A. R. Kardar. Music direction was done by Naushad, lyrics written by Shakeel Badayuni and sung by the golden voice great Mohammed Rafi. So this song had three greats put their talents together. No wonder it is such an evergreen song which sounds as fresh and great as it did back in the day.

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

So here is my rendition of this song with backing tracks (recorded on 01/31/2021):

Lyrics:
Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge
Jahan Ki Rut Badal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge

Nazare Apni Mastiyan, Luta Lutake Sogaye
Sitaare Apni Roshani, Dikha Dikhake Sogaye
Har Ek Shamma Jal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge

Tadap Rahen Hein Ham Yahan, Tumhare Intazaar Mein
Khisan Ka Rang, Aa-chala Hai, Mausam-e-bahaar Mein, (2)
Hawa Bhi Rukh Badal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge

Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge
Jahan Ki Rut Badal Chuki, Na Jaane Tum Kab Aavoge


End of day 4, 296 more to go.

Jhuki jhuki nigaah mein bhi

Jhuki jhuki nigaah mein bhi

Dabi dabi hasi mein bhi
Tadap rahi hain bijaliyaan
Shabaab aap kaa

So it is day 9, 2nd Feb 2012. 291 more day to go until I get to song number 300. One song a day, that too only old classic Bollywood songs. well, I only know old songs, lol! 
Some of these classic songs I am singing are from before my time or even before my birth. 
This song I picked today is from the 1956 Hindi movie New Delhi directed by Mohan Segal. The song titled Nakhrewali was sung by Kishore Kumar. He in the only singer in the day who could sing this song because he was the only singer in the Bollywood industry that could yodel, and yodel well. Definitely a fun song to sing, Nakhrewali was written by Shakeel Badayuni, and composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

Berahum bewafaa
Apanaa kuchh ataa pataa bataa to de
Bekalee, bekasee
Kuchh to kam ho, fir se muskuraa to de
Wo to koee aaur thee jo aakhon se, samaa gayee dil mein.

barkhaa raani, zaraa jam ke barso
meraa dilbar jaa naa paye, jhumkar barso

kabhi kisiko dil diya diya, maine bhi diya

dil naa lagana o deewano la la la la la la la la
ae meri umar ke naujawano, dil naa lagana o deewano
maine pyar karke chain khoya, nind khoyi
arre jhuth to kehte nahi hai, kehte nahi hai log koi
ae pyar se badhkar nahi hai, badhkar nahi hai rog koi
chalta nahi hai dil deke yaaro, iss dil pe jor koi
chalta nahi hai dil deke yaaro, iss dil pe jor koi
iss rog ka nahi hai ilaaj duniya me aur koi
to gaao om shanti om, shanti shanti om

om shanti om, shanti shanti om
om shanti om, shanti shanti om

hey maine kisiko dil deke kar li, raate kharab dekho
maine kisiko dil deke kar li, raate kharab dekho
aaya nahi abhi tak udharse
aaya nahi abhi tak udharse koi jawab dekho
wo naa kahenge to khudkashi bhi kar jaunga main yaaro
wo naa kahenge to khudkashi bhi kar jaunga main yaaro
wo ha kahenge to bhi khushise, mar jaaunga main yaaro
to gaao om shanti om, shanti shanti om
om shanti om, shanti shanti om

jo chhup gaya hai pehli nazar ka, pehla salam lekar
jo chhup gaya hai pehli nazar ka, pehla salam lekar
har ek saans leta hu ab main
uska hi naam lekar, uska hi naam lekar
mere hazaro deewane, ab main khud ban gaya deewana
mere hazaro deewane, ab main khud ban gaya deewana
ye wakt tumpe aa jaye pyar me, to ye geet gaana
sing om shanti om, shanti shanti om
om shanti om, shanti shanti om

meri umar ke naujawano, dil naa lagana o deewana
maine pyar karke chain khoya, nind khoyi
arre jhuth to kehte nahi hai, kehte nahi hai log koi
ae pyar se badhkar nahi hai, badhkar nahi hai rog koi
chalta nahi hai dil deke yaaro, iss dil pe jor koi
iss rog ka nahi hai ilaaj, duniya me aur koi
to gaao om shanti om, shanti shanti om

hotho pe tere, kabhi pyaas aati nahi
aisaa lage, jaise ki tu, hansake zahar koi piye jaye
ye sham mastaani, madahosh kiye jaye
mujhe dor koi khiche, teri or liye jaye

baat jab mai karun, mujhe rok deti hai kyo
teri mithi nazar, mujhe tok deti hai kyo
teri hayaa, teri sharam, teri qasam mere hoth siye jaye
ye sham mastaani, madahosh kiye jaye
mujhe dor koi khiche, teri or liye jaye

ek ruthi hui, taqadir jaise koi
khaamosh aise hai tu, tasvir jaise koi
teri nazar, banake zubaan, lekin tere paigaam diye jaye
ye sham mastaani, madahosh kiye jaye
mujhe dor koi khiche, teri or liye jaye

ye sham mastaani, madahosh kiye jaye
mujhe dor koi khiche, teri or liye jaye

Lyrics:
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai
vo nazar se mujhko gira na de
meri zindagi ka diya kahi

ye gamo ki aandhi bujha na de
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai

mere dil ke daag na jal uthe
mere dil ke daag
mere dil ke daag na jal uthe
kahi mere sine ki aag se
kahi mere sine ki aag se
ye ghuti ghuti meri aah bhi
ye ghuti ghuti meri aah bhi
kahi hosh mere ganva na de
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai

kise apna haal sunau main
kise apna haal
kise apna haal sunau main
mera dil bhi gair ka ho chuka
mera dil bhi gair ka ho chuka
badi uljhano me ghira hu main
badi uljhano me ghira hu main
ke fasana koi bana na de
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai

main diya hu aisa jahaan me
main diya hu aisa
main diya hu aisa jahaan me
ke jala to hu nahi roshni
ke jala to hu nahi roshni
jo jigar me hai vo khalish kahi
jo jigar me hai vo khalish kahi
meri hasarto ko mita na de
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai
vo nazar se mujhko gira na de
mujhe raat din ye khyal hai

Day 325 of 300: Today's song is Mere Desh Ki Dharti by Mahendra Kapoor - Upkar (1967)

It is day 325 of 300, and today's song is Mere Desh Ki Dharti sung by Mahendra Kapoor from the 1967 movie Upkar directed by Manoj Kumar. Music composed by Kalyanji Anandji, and lyrics written by Gulshan Bawra.

This is a lively patriotic song from a patriotic movie. It goes between Indian folk and western music styles.

Gulshan Bawra won the Filmfare award that year for best Lyricist, one of the 7 Filmfare awards the movie won that year

Today is August 14th in USA, almost August 15th in India. August 15th is India Independence day. The day India became free from the oppressing and conning British Empire. Was the independence worth it? Is India free from oppression and cunningness and deceit today?

Here is my rendition of the song:

Chordsindichords.com
Lyrics:
mere desh ki dharati sonaa ugale, ugale hire moti
mere desh ki dharati

bailo ke gale me jab ghugharu jivan kaa raag sunaate hai
gam koson dur ho jaataa hai khushiyon ke kaval muskaate hai
sunake rahat ki aavaaze yun lage kahi shahanaai baje
aate hi mast bahaaro ke dulhan ki tarah har khet saje,
mere desh

jab chalate hai is dharati pe hal mamataa agadaaiyaan leti hai
kyun naa puje is maati ko jo jivan kaa sukh deti hai
is dharati pe jisane janam liyaa, usane hi paayaa pyaar teraa
yahaan apanaa paraayaa koi nahi hai sab pe hai maan upakaar teraa,
mere desh

ye baag hai gautam naanak kaa khilate hai chaman ke phul yahaan
gaadhi, subhaashh, taigor, tilak, aise hai aman ke phul yahaan
rag haraa hari singh nalave se rag laal hai laal bahaadur se
rag banaa basati bhagat singh rag aman kaa chor javaahar se,
mere desh
