Day 140 of 300: Today's song is Tumko Dekha To Ye Khayal Aaya by Jagjit Singh - Saath Saath (1982)

What to say about this ghazal. One of the top hits of Jagjit Singh songs.

I am in no way attempting to emote the original. Just doing it how it comes to me when singing in a lower register than preferred.

Here is a rendition of the song, singing solo with an acoustic guitar (posted on Feb 28, 2023):

Anyways, here it is my rendition of the ghazal (with backing tracks, posted on July 16, 2021):

Lyrics:

Tumko dekhaa to ye kayaal aayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa

Tumako...

Aaj phir dilane ek tamannaa kii

Aaj phir dilane ek tamannaa ki

Aaj phir dilako hamane samajhaayaa

Tum chale jaaoge to soche nge

Tum chale jaaoge to soche nge

Hamane kyaa khoyaa- hamane kyaa paayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Ham jise gunagunaa nahii n sakate

Ham jise gunagunaa nahii n sakate

Vaqt ne aisaa giit kyuu n gaayaa

Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Tumko dekhaa to ye kayaal aayaa

Day 118: Today's song is Chup Hai Dharti Chup Hai Chand Sitare by Hemant Kumar - House No. 44 (1955)

It is day 118 and today's song is Chup Hai Dharti Chup Hai Chand Sitare sung by Hemant Kumar from the 1955 movie House No. 44, directed by M. K. Burman and produced by Dev Anand. Music by S. D. Burman, with lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi.

I think this song may not be such a popular or well known song from the retro classic Bollywood Hindi music. I know it from the Hemant Kumar songs cassette tape from my father's music collection.

I have always loved the smoothness of Hemant Kumar's voice, but I am beginning to appreciate more as I am listening to these old songs again. Retro classic!

chup hain dharatee, chup hain chanad sitare

nikhara nikhara sa hai, chand kaa joban

bikhara bikhara sa hain nur kaa daman

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.

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

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.

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.

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):

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.

kamar patli haay nazar bijli haay

kamar patli haay nazar bijli hai zulfe yaa ghataaye

khuda mahafuz rakhe har bala se, har bala se

subhanallah hasi chehra ye mastana adaaye

khuda mahafuz rakhe har bala se, har bala se

na jaane kiski qismat me hai mukhda chaand sa ye

na jaane kiske ghar chamakega tukda chaand ka ye

na jaane kiske ghar chamakega tukda chaand ka ye

ijaazat ho haay to phir ham bhi haay

ijaazat ho to phir ham bhi muqaddar aazamaaye

khuda mahafuz rakhe har bala se, har bala se

subhanallah hasi chehra ye mastana adaaye

khuda mahafuz rakhe har bala se, har bala se

kaun hai jo sapno me aaya, kaun hai jo dil me samaya

lo jhuk gaya asama bhi ishq mera rang laya

kaun hai jo sapno me aaya, kaun hai jo dil me samaya

lo jhuk gaya asama bhi ishq mera rang laya

o priya, o priya

zindagi ke har ik mod pe mai geet gata chala ja raha hu

zindagi ke har ik mod pe mai geet gata chala ja raha hu

bekhudi ka ye alam na puchho manzilo se badha ja raha hu

manzilo se badha ja raha hu

kaun hai jo sapno me aaya, kaun hai jo dil me samaya

lo jhuk gaya asama bhi ishq mera rang laya

o priya, o priya

saj gayi aaj sari dishaye, khul gayi aaj jannat ki rahe

saj gayi aaj sari dishaye, khul gayi aaj jannat ki rahe

husn jabse mera ho gaya hai, mujhpe padti hai sabki nigahe

mujhpe padti hai sabki nigahe

kaun hai jo sapno me aaya, kaun hai jo dil me samaya

lo jhuk gaya asama bhi ishq mera rang laya

o priya, o priya

jism ko maut aati hai lekin ruh ko maut aati nahi hai

jism ko maut aati hai lekin ruh ko maut aati nahi hai

ishq roshan hai roshan rahega, roshani iski jaati nahi hai

roshani iski jaati nahi hai

kaun hai jo sapno me aaya, kaun hai jo dil me samaya

lo jhuk gaya asama bhi ishq mera rang laya

o priya, o priya, o priya

About two years ago, I can say, I did not know this song. I may have heard it once or twice in my life early on as a kid, but I don't think it ever registered or caught my attention. 

Here is my rendition of the song singing solo with an acoustic guitar (recorded on 10/03/2022):

Here it is, my rendition of the song with backing tracks (recorded on 07/03/2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

Aap ke haseen rukh pe

Aaj naya noor hain

Mera dil machal gaya to

Mera kya kasoor hain

Aap ke nigaah ne 

Kaha to kuchh zaroor hain

Mera dil machal gaya

To mera kya kasoor hain

Khuli laton ki chhaanv mein

Khilaa khilaa ye rup hain

Khuli laton ki chhaanv mein

Khilaa khilaa ye rup hain

Ghataa se jaise chhan rahi

Subah subah ki dhoop hain

Jidhar nazar mudi

Jidhar nazar mudi

Jidhar nazar mudi udhar

Suroor hi suroor hain

Mera dil machal gaya to

Mera kya kasoor hain

Aap ke haseen rukh pe

Aaj naya noor hain

Mera dil machal gaya to

Mera kya kasoor hain

Jhuki jhuki nigaah mein bhi

Hain balaa ki shaukhiyaan

Jhuki jhuki nigaah mein bhi

Hain balaa ki shaukhiyaan

Dabi dabi hasi mein bhi

Tadap rahi hain bijaliyaan

Shabaab aap kaa

Shabaab aap kaa

Shabaab aap kaa nashe mein

Khud hi choor choor hain

Mera dil machal gaya to

Mera kya kasoor hain

Aap ke nigaah ne 

Kaha to kuchh zaroor hain

Mera dil machal gaya

To mera kya kasoor hain

Jahaan jahaan pade kadam

Waha fizaa badal gayi

Jahaan jahaan pade kadam

Waha fizaa badal gayi

Ke jaise sar basar bahaar

Aap hi mein dhal gayi

Kisi mein ye kashish

Kisi mein ye kashish

Kisi mein ye kashish kaha

Jo aap mein huzoor hain

Mera dil machal gaya to

Mera kya kasoor hain

Aap ke haseen rukh pe

Aaj naya noor hain

Mera dil machal gaya

To mera kya kasoor hain

Aap ke nigaah ne 

Kaha to kuchh zaroor hain

Mera dil machal gaya

To mera kya kasoor hain.

Honton se chhoo lo tum

Mera geet amar kar do

Ban jaao meet mere

Meri preet amar kar do

Honton se chhoo lo tum

Mera geet amar kar do

Na umr ki seema ho

Na janm ka ho bandhan

Jab pyaar kare koi

To dekhe keval mann

Nayi reet chalaakar tum

Yeh reet amar kar do

Aakaash ka soonapan

Mere tanha mann mein

Paayal chhankaati tum

Aa jaao jeevan mein

Saansein dekar apni

Sangeet amar kar do

Sangeet amar kar do

Mera geet amar kar do

Jag ne chheena mujhse

Mujhe jo bhi laga pyaara

Sab jeeta kiye mujhse

Main har dam hi haara

Tum haarke dil apna

Meri jeet amar kar do

Honton se chhoo lo tum

Mera geet amar kar do

Day 9: Today's song is Nakhrewali by Kishore Kumar - New Delhi (1956)

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.

Ajanabee ye chhoreeyaan, dil pen daale doreeyaan, man kee

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.
