Lyrics:

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Raat kat-ti nahin din guzarta nahin

Zakm aisa diya hai ke bharta nahin

Aankh veeran hai, dil pareshan hai

Gham ka saaman hai

Jaise jaadu koi kar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Bekhata toone mujh se khushi chheen li

Zinda rakha magar zindagi chheen li

Kar diya dil ka khoon, chup kahan tak rahoon

Saaf kyun na kahoon

Tu khushi se meri dar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Thank you for listening

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

kya kare woh jaan kar anjan hain

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

abb toh haske apni bhi kismat ko chamka de

kaano me kuchh keh de jo is dil ko bahla de

yeh bhi mushkil hain toh kya aasan hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

sar pe mere too jo apna hath hi rakh de

phir toh bhatke raahi ko mil jayenge raste

dil ki basti bin tere viran hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

dil hi toh hai isne shayad bhul bhi ki hai

zindagi hai bhul kar hi rah milti hai

maaf kar banda bhi ek insan hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

kya kare woh jaan kar anjan hain

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

Jis men dil ki kali jal gi

Zakhm fir se hara ho gaya

Chaar ansu koi ro diya, Fer ke munh koi chal diya

Lut raha tha kisi ka jahaan  

Dekhati rah gi ye jmin

Chup raha beraham asamaan

Ae mere dil kahin aur chal

Gam ki duniya se dil bhar gaya

Dhundh le ab koi ghar naya.

Yeh phul chaman me kaisa khila

Yeh phul chaman me kaisa khila

Mali ki najar me pyar nahi

Hasate huye kya kya dekh liya

Abb behte hain aansu behne do

Yaa dil ki suno duniya walo

Ek khwab khushi kaa dekha nahi

Ek khwab khushi kaa dekha nahi

Dekha jo kabhi toh bhul gaye

Manga huwa tum kuchh de naa

Sake jo tumne diya woh sehne do

Yaa dil ki suno duniya walo

Kya dard kisi kaa lega koyi

Kya dard kisi kaa lega koyi

Itna toh kisi me dard nahi

Behte huye aansu aur bahen

Abb aisi tasalli rehne do

Yaa dil ki suno duniya walo yaa

Mujh ko abhi chup rehne do

Mai gham ko khushi kaise keh

Du jo kehte hain unako kehne do

Yaa dil ki suno duniya walo.

Din ne haath thaam kar

Raat ne ishaare se

Udhar bulaa liyaa

Subah se shaam se meraa dostaanaa

Great song! Guitar based, very Spanish music influenced song. 

I remember watching this movie on T.V. when I was a kid growing up in India. It's a good comedy romance drama movie. This film is the unofficial remake of Come September, which is a 1961 romantic comedy. I don't mind watching the movie again. Definitely a good song to cover singing with an acoustic guitar. Perhaps I will do that someday.

Bas ek nigaah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Ye dillagi ye shokhiya salam ki

Yahi to baat ho rahi hai kaam ki

Koi to mood ke dekh lega is taraf

Koi nazar to hogi mere naam ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

Suni meri sada to kis yakin se

Ghata utar ke aa gayi zameen pe

Rahi yahi lagan to ai dil-e-jawa

Asar bhi ho rahega ek haseen pe

Pukarta chala hoon main

Gali gali bahar ki

Bas ek chhanw zulf ki

Bas ek nigah pyaar ki

Pukarta chala hoon main

ye kaam kamaan bhanve teri

palkon ke kinaare kajraare

ye kaam kamaan bhanve teri

palkon ke kinaare kajraare

maathe par sindoori sooraj

hothon pe dahakte angaare

saayaa bhi jo teraa pad jaaye

saayaa bhi jo teraa pad jaaye

aabaad ho dil kaa veeraanaa

chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

Tan bhi sundar man bhi sundar

tu sundartaa ki moorat hai

Kisi aur ko shaayad kam hogi

mujhe teri bahut zaroorat hai

Pehle bhi bahut dil tarsaa hai

Pehle bhi bahut dil tarsaa hai

tu aur na dil ko tarsaanaa

chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

dheere se teraa ye muskaanaa

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon o

Mujhe dosh na dena jag waalon

Ho jaaye agar dil deewaanaa

Chandan saa badan chanchal chitwan

Day 171: Today's song is Poochho Na Kaise Maine Rain Bitaayi by Manna Dey - Meri Surat Teri Aankhen (1963)

Good movie! I remember watching it about a year ago or something.

A difficult song this one. Took lots of effort to learn it, and still, by no means am I attempting to copy the original.

Lyrics:

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Yug bitey mohe neend na aayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Man mera ha mera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Tadpat tarsat umar gawayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Bhor bhi aas ki kiran na laayi

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai.

Lyrics:

Moko kahan dhundhere bande

Na teerath mein,

Moko kahan dhundhere bande 

Na mein jap mein, 

na mein tap mein na mein barat upaas mein

na mein kiriya karm mein rehta 

nahin jog sanyas mein

Moko kahan dhundhere bande 

Khoji hoye turat mil jaoon ik pal ki talas mein

kahet kabir suno bhai sadho mein to hun vishwas mein

Moko kahan dhundhere bande 

mein to tere paas mein

Lyrics:

sab kuchh sikha hamne na sikhi hoshiyari

sab kuchh sikha hamne na sikhi hoshiyari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

duniya ne kitna samajhaya

kaun hai apna kaun paraya

phir bhi dil ki chot chhupa kar

hamne aapka dil bahalaya

khud hi mar mitane ki ye zid hai hamari

khud hi mar mitane ki ye zid hai hamari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

dil ka chaman ujadate dekha

pyara ka rang utarate dekha

hamne har jine vale ko

dhan daulat pe marate dekha

dil pe marane vale marenge bhikhari

dil pe marane vale marenge bhikhari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

asali nakali chehare dekhe

dil pe sau sau pahare dekhe

mere dukhate dil se puchho

kya kya khvab sunehare dekhe

tuta jis tare pe nazar thi hamari

tuta jis tare pe nazar thi hamari

sab kuchh sikha hamne na sikhi hoshiyari

sach hai duniyavalo ki ham hai anadi

Great movie! Great song! Great music!

This movie has to be one of the top classic movies like Gone with the Wind or something. Lots of really good songs in this movie.

Here is a rendition with lyrical video (posted on Nov 11, 2024):

Here is my solo unplugged version with acoustic guitar (posted on Mar 08, 2023):

Here it is my rendition of the song with backing tracks (posted on June 07, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila

Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila

Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila

Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila

Khusioyonki manzil dhoondi to gham ki gard mili

Khusioyonki manzil dhoondi to gham ki gard mili

Chahat ke nagme chahe to, aahen shard mili

Dil ke bojh ko doona kar gaya, jo gam saar mila

Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila

Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila

Bichhad Gayaa... Bichhad Gayaa...

Bichhad Gayaa har santhi de kar pal do pal ka santh

Kisko Phursat Hai Jo Thaame Deewane Ka Haath

Humko apnaa saayaa tak aksar bezaar milaa

Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila

Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila

Isko Hi Jeena Kehte Hain To Yunhi Ji Lenge

Isko Hi Jeena Kehte Hain To Yunhi Ji Lenge

Uf Na Karenge Lab See Lenge Aansoo Pee Lenge

Gham Se Ab Ghabraana Kaisa Gham Sau Baar Mila

Humne To Jab Kaliyaan Maangi Kaaton Ka Haar Mila

Jaane Woh Kaise Log The Jinke Pyar Ko Pyar Mila

Day 211: Today's song is Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi by Lata Mangeshkar & Anup Ghoshal

It is day 211, and today's song is Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi sung by Lata Mangeshkar & Anup Ghoshal (as two separate versions) from the 1983 movie Masoom, directed by Shekhar Kapur. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Gulzar.

The movie earned 5 Filmfare awards that year including for best music director and best lyrics writer.

I personally feel these two are the best music/lyrics creator combination ever in Bollywood. Sometimes I imagine how it would have been if S.D. Burman and Gulzar worked together. Would have been mind blowing.

The movie is based on the 1980 novel Man, Woman and Child by Erich Segal, with an Indian twist in the end. 

Here is a live solo rendition (posted on Nov 08, 2024):

Anyways, here is an older rendition of the song (posted on Nov 12, 2021):

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Lyrics:

tujhase naaraaz nahi zindagi, hairaan hun mai

o hairaan hun mai

tere maasum savaalo se pareshaan hun mai

o pareshaan hun mai

jine ke liye sochaa hi na thaa, dard sambhaalane hoge

muskuraaun to, muskuraane ke karz uthaane hoge

muskuraaun kabhi to lagataa hai

jaise hotho pe karz rakhaa hai

tujhase

aaj agar bhar aai hai, bunde baras jaayegi

kal kyaa pataa inake liye aankhe taras jaayegi

jaane kahaan gum kahaan khoyaa

ek aansu chhupaake rakhaa thaa

tujhase

zindagi tere gam ne hame rishte naye samajhaaye

mile jo hame dhup me mile chhaanv ke thade saaye

(music for these lines!)

o tujhase

Oh oh oh oh oh

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Jaha mai hu wahi teraa pyar hai

Meraa dil hai teree mehfil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Naa mai sapna hu naa koyee raaz hoon

Ek dard bhari aawaz hoon

Naa mai sapna hu naa koyee raaz hoon

Ek dard bhari aawaj hoon

Piya der naa kar aa mil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Dushman hai hazaro yahan jaan ke

Zara milna nazar pehchaanke

Dushman hai hazaro yahan jaan ke

Zara milna nazar pehchaanke

Kayi roop me hai qatil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Oh oh oh oh oh.
