kab khayalo ki dhup dhalti hai

har kadam par shama si jalti hai

mera saya jidhar bhi jata hai

teri tasveer saath chalti hai

o mere shaahe khuba, o meri jaanejanana

tum mere paas hote ho, koi dusara nahi hota

tum mere paas hote ho, koi dusara nahi hota

tum ho sehra me tum gulista me

tum ho zarro me tum biyaba me

maine tum ko kaha kaha dekha

chupke rehte ho tum rag-e-jaan me

o mere shaahe khuba, o meri jaanejanana

tum mere paas hote ho, koi dusara nahi hota

tum mere paas hote ho, koi dusara nahi hota

meri aankho ki justaju tum ho

iltaja tum ho aarzoo tum ho

main kisi aur ko to kya jaanu

meri ulfat ki aabru tum ho

o mere shaahe khuba, o meri jaanejanana

tum mere paas hote ho, koi dusara nahi hota

Day 82: Today's song is Babuji Dheere Chalna by Geeta Dutt - Aar Paar (1954)

It is day 82, and it is time to take a break from singing my renditions of Bollywood classic old hindi film songs, a day a song. Sometimes the renditions are good, many other times they are average, and sometimes not so good. But this is a great learning exercise for me. I am beginning to see my limitations as a musician and a singer. Some times the mood of the song and my emotions are aligned, and sometimes not. But it is a learning exercise and I am glad I chose to do this 1 song a day for 300 days. I am also glad I am actually doing it and have gotten to 82 songs so far. Yes, still 218 more songs to go to reach 300, and I only hope to learn a lot more from singing these evergreen timeless Bollywood Hindi classic songs.

Today's song is Babuji Dheere Chalna sung by Geeta Dutt from the 1954 movie Aar Paar, directed and produced by Guru Dutt. Music composed by O.P. Nayyar and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Here is a solo rendition with an acoustic guitar (posted on April 20, 2023):

Here is another rendition of the song, and after this post I shall take a short break of few days, change the environment a bit, get out a bit before I get back to singing song #83 and keep singing my way towards 300 songs Here is song with backing tracks (posted on April 27, 2021):

Lyrics:

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Kyun ho khoye huye sar jhukaaye

Jaise jaate ho sab kuchh lutaaye

Ye to baabuji pahalaa kadam hai

Nazar aate hai apane paraaye

Kaam ulafat kaa naazuk bahut hai

Aake hotho pe tutege pyaale

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Ho gayi hai kisi se jo anaban

Thaam le dusaraa koi daaman

Zidagaani ki raahe ajab hai

Ho akelaa hai to laakho hai dushman

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalanaa.

Day 29 of 300: Today's song is Tadbeer Se Bigdi Huyi Taqdeer by Geeta Dutt - Baazi (1951)

It is day 29 and today's song is Tadbeer Se Bigdi Huyi Taqdeer, a very old song sung by Geeta Dutt, from the 1951 movie Baazi, directed by Guru Dutt. Music composed by the great, and my all time favorite, S.D. Burman. Lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

It's been a busy busy day, juggling work, meetings, and researching, planning and purchasing for new studio and live streaming home studio setup. Since my old audio device and my iMac, that I used for about a decade, stopped working back to back in last 2 days, I am forced to design a new setup, and make purchases, and set it up when it is all here. For now, oh well, all will be well. Once set up, which may take couple weeks, it will be a completely new, flexible and a modern setup.

chingaari koi bhadke

chingaari koi bhadke, to saavan usey bujhaaye

saavan jo agan lagaaye, usey kaun bujhaaye

patjhad jo baag ujaade, vo baag bahaar khilaaye

jo baag bahaar mey ujde, usey kaun khilaaye

humse mat puchho kaise, mandir toota sapno ka

humse mat puchho kaise, mandir toota sapno ka

logo ki baat nahi hai, ye kissa hai apno ka

koi dushman thes lagaaye, to meet jiyaa behlaaye

manmeet jo ghaav lagaaye, use kaun mitaaye

na jaane kya ho jaata, jaane hum kyaa kar jaate

na jaane kya ho jaata, jaane hum kyaa kar jaate

peete hai to zinda hai, na peete to mar jaate

duniya jo pyaasa rakhe, to madira pyaas bujhaaye

madira jo pyaas lagaaye, use kaun bujhaaye

ho use kaun bujhaaye

maana tufaan ke aage, nahi chaltaa zor kisi kaa

maana tufaan ke aage, nahi chaltaa zor kisi kaa

maujo kaa dosh nahi hai, ye dosh hai aur kisi ka

majdhaar me naiyaa dole, to maajhi paar lagaaye

maajhi jo naav duboye, use kaun bachaaye

ho usey kaun bachaaye, chingaari

Ham usike ho liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Dard bhi hame kabul

Chain bhi hame kabul

Dard bhi hame kabul

Chain bhi hame kabul

Hamne har tarah ke Phul 

Haar me piro liye

Hamne har tarah ke phul 

Haar me piro liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Ham usike ho liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Dhup thi nasib me

Dhup mein liya hain dam

Dhup thi nasib me

To dhup mein liya hain dam

Chandani mili toh ham

Chandani me so liye

Chandani mili toh ham

Chandani me so liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Ham usike ho liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Dil pe aasara kiye

Ham toh bas yu hi jiye

Dil pe aasara kiye

Ham toh bas yu hi jiye

Ek kadam pe has liye

Ek kadam pe ro liye

Ek kadam pe has liye

Ek kadam pe ro liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Ham usike ho liye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Raah me pade hain ham

Kabse aap ki kasam

Raah me pade hain ham

Kabse aap ki kasam

Dekhiye toh kam se kam

Boliye naa boliye

Dekhiye toh kam se kam

Boliye naa boliye

Jo bhi pyaar se mila

Ham usike ho liye

Ham usike ho liye

Ham hain raahi pyaar ke

Hamse kuchh naa boliye.

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!

Here is my solo rendition with an acoustic guitar (posted on Feb 01, 2023):

Not by any way attempting to copy or emulate the original, but here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on June 18, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

chup hain dharatee, chup hain chanad sitare

mere dil kee dhadkan tuj ko pukare

khoye khoye se yeh mast najare

thhahare thhahare se yeh rang ke dhare

dhundh rahe hain tuj ko sath hamare

chup hain dharatee, chup hain chanad sitare

mere dil kee dhadkan tuj ko pukare

kone kone mastee fail rahee hai

bahe banakar hastee fail rahee hai

tuj been doobe dil ko kaun ubhare

chup hain dharatee, chup hain chanad sitare

mere dil kee dhadkan tuj ko pukare

nikhara nikhara sa hai, chand kaa joban

bikhara bikhara sa hain nur kaa daman

aaja mere tanahaee ke sahare

chup hain dharatee, chup hain chanad sitare

mere dil kee dhadkan tuj ko pukare

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.

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):

Here is my rendition of the song with backing track (posted on May 24, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

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

inhi baharo ke aanchal me thak ke so 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

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

rote hanste bas yuhi tum gungunate rehna

kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi alvida na kehna

Lyrics:

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

aaja meri rato me lahek raha re tera kajra

ho aaja meri sanso me mahek raha re tera gajra

ho aaja meri rato me lahek raha re tera kajra

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha udd chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

der se lahro me kamal sambhale huye mann ka

jivan taal me bhatak raha re tera hansa

der se lahro me kamal sambhale huye mann ka

jivan taal me bhatak raha re tera hansa

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

o hansini, meri hansini, kaha ud chali

mere armano ke pankh lagake kaha ud chali

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:

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/

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
