Day 13. Today song is Naam Gum Jayega by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh - Kinara (1977)

Today's song is Naam Gum Jayega sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupendra Singh from the 1977 movie Kinara. The movie was written and directed by Gulzar. Lyrics by Gulzar, IMHO, the best lyricist in the history of Bollywood. Music was composed by the legendary great R.D.Burman, such a diverse musician who could rock out a song and as well write such an awesome indian classical based melody like this song Naam Gum Jayega, Chera Yeh Badal Jayega.

I know I am neither a great singer nor have a golden voice. So, with my average singing voice and abilities I attempt to sing this sing. I must say, it turned out to be not an easy song to learn, sing and emote the feelings, and do justice to the melody. it was quite a challenge.

Not sure what raga this song is based on, if you do, please comment.

Here is my solo rendition of the song with an acoustic guitar (posted on June 29, 2023):

Lyrics:

naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa

meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe

wakt ke sitam kam haseen nahee, aaj hain yahaa kal kahee nahee

wakt ke pare agar mil gaye kahee, meree aawaaj hee.. ..

naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa

meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe

jo gujar gayee, kal kee baat thee, umar to naheen yek raat thee

raat kaa siraa agar fir mile kahee, meree aawaaj hee.. ..

naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa

meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe

din dhale jahaa raat paas ho, jindagee kee lau unchee kar chalo

yaad aaye gar kabhee jee udaas ho, meree aawaaj hee.. ..

naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa

meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe

Ai ji suniye huzur

Dekho dil hai kisi

Saiyaad hai tu magar

Mujhako na yun tan ke dekh

Naadaan zaraa ek baar

Qaidi mera ban ke dekh

Maano maano meri baat

Maano maano meri baat

Dekho pahalu se

Uth ke hai jana buraa

Jata kaha hai deewane

Kuchh mere dil me fify

Day 37: Today's song is Jiska Koi Nahin by Kishore Kumar or Manna Dey - Laawaris (1981)

Day 37, and today's song is Jiska Koi Nahin, sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1981 movie Laawaris, directed by Prakash Mehra. Music composed by Kalyanji Anandji, and lyrics written by Anjaan (meaning anonymous). There is another version of this song sung by Manna Dey, and that version is my favorite version. However, I could not find backing tracks for that version.

I remember two different occasions in my life when I sang this song. One was in my school when I sang this song on stage in a school day celebration event. The other time was when I first started singing Hindi songs again after many years, and that was couple years ago. At that time, I just sat in a closet and sang into my phone, and recorded with backing music playing on my boom box. 

It's been a bit. Hopefully I am learning and singing better.

Somedays are better than others, and today when I recorded this live singing video, I cannot say it was one of my best days. 

But, for what it's worth, here is a solo rendition with an acoustic guitar (posted on May 28, 2023) This is the Manna Dey version of the song:

And, for what it's worth, here is another rendition of the song with backing tracks (posted on March 5, 2021) This is the Kishore Kumar version:

Ik din kisi fakeer ne ik baat kahi thi

Ab ja ke dil ne mana, mana woh baat sahi thi

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Main nahin kehta, main nahin kehta

Kitabon mein likha hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Haan khuda hai yaaro

Hum to kya hain

Hum to kya hain woh farishton ko aazmata hai

Hum to kya hain woh farishton ko aazmata hai

Banakar humko mitata hai phir banata hai

Aadmi toot ke

Aadmi toot ke sau baar juda hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Haan khuda hai yaaro

Imtehanon ka yahan daur yun hi chalta hai

Imtehanon ka yahan daur yun hi chalta hai

Aandhiyon mein bhi ummeedon ka diya jalta hai

Kal ki ummeed pe

Kal ki ummeed pe insaan jiya hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Haan khuda hai yaaro

Kab talak humse

Kab talak humse takdeer bhala roothegi

Kab talak humse takdeer bhala roothegi

In andheron se ujaale ki kiran phootegi

Gham ke daaman mein

Gham ke daaman mein kahin chain chhupa hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hai yaaro

Main nahin kehta kitabon mein likha hai yaaro

Day 41: Today's song is Na Yeh Chand Hoga (न ये चाँद होगा) by Hemant Kumar - Shart (1954)

It is day 41 and today's song is Na Yeh Chand Hoga by Hemant Kumar, from the 1954 movie Shart, directed by Bibhuti Mitra. Music composed by Hemant Kumar, and lyrics written by S.H. Bihari.

This song is not such a popularly known classic Bollywood song. I know the song because there was a Hemant Kumar songs tape in my father's music collection. I remember playing that tape few times myself in my childhood days. Good songs. In the recent times, I have started appreciating Hemant Kumar as a music composer too. I did not know he had composed some of those classic Bollywood songs. I like the vibe and feel of the melodies he created, and rhythms of Spanish, Italian, Latin American fused with Bengali folk and classical styles. Awesome! I love it.

Hemant Da is super awesome! Smooth jazz voice.

I sure am not attempting to emulate or copy him. MmMm...I would do a sloppy job of that. Instead, I am just doing it the way I feel I would sing these lyrics.

magar ham hamesha tumhare rahenge

bichhadakar chale jaye tumse kahi

to ye na samajhana muhabbat nahi

jahan bhi rahe ham tumhare rahenge

na ye chand hoga, na tare rahenge

magar ham hamesha tumhare rahenge

na ye chand hoga

zamana agar kuchh kahegi to kya

magar tum na kahana hame bevafa

tumhare liye hai tumhare rahenge

na ye chand hoga, na tare rahenge

magar ham hamesha tumhare rahenge

na ye chand hoga

ye hoga sitam hamne pahle na jana

bana bhi na tha jal gaya aashiyana

kaha ab mohabbat pe mare rahenge

na ye chand hoga, na tare rahenge

magar ham hamesha tumhare rahenge

na ye chand hoga

Day 0 of 300: Today's song is Tum Pukar Lo Tumhara Intezar Hai by Hemant Kumar - Khamoshi (1969)

That was the day back in Oct 2019, way before I had started my youTube channel Puraane Gaane.

I was a beginner and was learning to sing hindi songs. This was the first song I posted on my channel. So I will call that day day-zero.

It was day 0 of 300, and song is Tum Pukar Lo Tumhara Intezar Hai sung by Hemant Kumar from the 1969 movie Khamoshi directed by Asit Sen and produced by Hemant Kumar. Music composed by Hemant Kumar, and lyrics written by Gulzar.

I must admit, I learnt a lot initially from Hemant Kumar and Gulzar, and then Geeta Dutt ji has been by posthumous guru.

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.

Lyrics:

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Pyaar me zaraa sambhalanaa

Haan bade dhokhe hai

Bade dhokhe hai is raah me

Baabuji dhire chalnaa

Kyun ho khoye huye sar jhukaaye

Jaise jaate ho sab kuchh lutaaye

Ye to baabuji pahalaa kadam hai

Nazar aate hai apane paraaye

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

Ye muhabbat hai o bholebhaale

Kar na dil ko gamo ke havaale

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.

Here is a solo rendition with acoustic guitar, me playing live at 615ChuTNey, Nashville, TN (posted on April 07, 2023):

Anyways, here is today's song, my rendition with backing tracks (posted on Feb 25, 2021):

Lyrics:

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Tadbeer se bigdi hui

Taqdeer banale taqdeer banale

Tadbeer se bigdi hui

Taqdeer banale taqdeer banale

Apne pe bharosa hai

Lagale daav lagale

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Darrta hai jamane ki

Nigahon se bhala kyun

Darrta hai jamane ki

Nigahon se bhala kyun

Insaf tere sath hai

Iljam utha le iljam utha le

Apne pe bharosa hai toh

Yeh daav lagale

Lagale daav lagale

Hey hey hey hey

Kya khak woh jina hai jo

Apne hi liye ho

Apne hi liye ho

Kya khak woh jina hai jo

Apne hi liye ho

Apne hi liye ho

Khud mitke kisi aur ko

Mitne se bacha le

Mitne se bacha le

Apne pe bharosa hai

Toh yeh daav lagale

Lagale daav lagale

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey tute huye patwar hain

Kashti ke toh ham kya

Haari hui baaho ko hi

Patwar bana le

Patwar bana le

Apne pe bharosa hai

Toh yeh daav lagale

Lagale daav lagale

Tadbeer se bigdi hui

Taqdeer banale

Taqdeer banale

Apne pe bharosa hai

Lagale danv lagale.

Anyone who knows Bollywood songs knows this song, and my words will not do justice to it.

So, here, without saying anything more, is my renditions of the song.

Solo with an acoustic guitar (posted on March 31, 2023):

With backing tracks (posted on March 19, 2022):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

chingaari koi bhadke

chingaari koi bhadke, to saavan usey bujhaaye

saavan jo agan lagaaye, usey kaun bujhaaye

ho usey kaun bujhaaye

patjhad jo baag ujaade, vo baag bahaar khilaaye

jo baag bahaar mey ujde, usey kaun khilaaye

ho 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
