Lyrics:
oh re taal mile nadi ke jal me
nadi mile sagar me
sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na
oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

suraj ko dharti tarse dharti ko chandrama
dharti ko chandrama
pani me seep jaise pyaasi har aatmaa
pyasi har aatmaa
o mitava re e e e e
pani me seep jaise pyasi har aatmaa
boond chhupi kis baadal me koi jane na
oh re taal mile nadi ke jal me
nadi mile sagar me
sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na
oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

anjane hotho par tu pahchane geet hai
pahachne geet hai
kal tak jo begane the janamo ke meet hai
janamo ke meet hai
o mitava re e e e
kal tak jo begane the janamo ke meet hai
kya hoga kaun se pal me koi jane na
oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me
nadi mile sagar me
sagar mile kaun se jal me koi jane na
oh re tal mile nadi ke jal me

Day 24: Today's song is Aapke Anurodh Pe by Kishore Kumar - Anurodh (1977)

It is day 24, and today's song is a song I remember quite well from my childhood. In fact, I remember watching the movie as a kid and liking this song, and I also remember tinkering with singing this song and trying to play it on my father's harmonium. Those were the days.

The song is titled Aapke Anurodh Pe, from the 1977 movie Anurodh, directed by Shakti Samanta. Music composed by the Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi. The trio of Kishore Kumar, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Anand Bakshi went on to create many great hits in the history of Bollywood.

Lyrics:
Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon
Main yeh geet sunata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon
Main yeh geet sunata hoon
Apne dil ki baaton se aap ka dil behlata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe

Mat poochho auron ke dukh mein
Yeh prem kavi kyon rota hai
Mat poochho auron ke dukh mein
Yeh prem kavi kyon rota hai
Bas chot kisi ko lagti hai
Aur dard kisi ko hota hai
Door kahin koi darpan toote
Tadap ke main reh jaata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon
Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Tareef main jiski karta hoon
Tareef main jiski karta hoon
Kya roop hai woh kya khushbu hai
Kuchh baat nahi aisi koi
Yeh ek suron ka jaadu hai
Koyal ki ek kook se sabke
Dil man mein hook uthata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon
Main yeh geet sunata hoon

Main pehne phirta hoon jo
Woh zanjeerein kaise banti hain
Main pehne phirta hoon jo
Woh zanjeerein kaise banti hain
Yeh bhed bata doon geeton mein
Tasveerein kaise banti hain
Sundar honthon ki laali se
Main rang roop churata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe main yeh geet sunata hoon
Main yeh geet sunata hoon
Apne dil ki baaton se aap ka dil behlata hoon
Aap ke anurodh pe

Day 292: Today's song is Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo by Mukesh - Teesri Kasam (1966)

It is day 292 and today's song is Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo sung by Mukesh from the 1966 movie Teesri Kasam directed by Basu Bhattacharya and produced by Shailendra. Music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics written by Shailendra.

Raag: Asavari
Taal: Kaherava

Such simple and great lyrics. Straight forward, but definitely ignored. Why do I say that? Just look at the state of the human world. Speak-the-truth only exists mostly on papers and not practiced. From organizations, corporations to politicians to day to people, many  lie, just to gain financial profit. This reminds me of couple lines from another song:

Ab to Imaan dharam ki koi keemat hi nahi,
Jaise sach bolne walon ki zarurat hi nahi

Now, integrity and righteousness has no value at all,
As if truth speakers are not required at all

Chords: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/
Lyrics:
Mera Jeevan
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya
Jo likha tha
Jo likha tha aansuon ke sang beh gaya
Mera jeevan
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Ik hawa ka jhonka aaya
Ho ik hawa ka jhonka aaya
Toota daali se phool
Toota daali se phool
Na pawan ki, na chaman ki
Kiski hai yeh bhool
Kiski hai yeh bhool
Kho gayi
Kho gayi khushboo hawa mein
Kuchh na reh gaya Mera jeevan
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Udte panchhi ka thikana
Udte panchhi ka thikana
Mera na koi jahan
Mera na koi jahan
Na dagar hai, na khabar hai
Jana hai mujhko kahan
Jana hai mujhko kahan
Ban ke sapna
Ban ke sapna humsafar ka sath reh haya
Mera jeevan
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya

Part 2

Dukh ke andar sukh ki jyoti
Dukh hi sukh ka gyan
Dukh hi sukh ka gyan
Dard seh ke janam leta
Har koi insan
Har koi insan
Woh sukhi hai
Woh sukhi hai
Jo khushi se dard seh gaya
Mera jeevan
Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya.

2. Song #2 is Khoya Khoya Chand Khula Aasmaan by Mohammed Rafi - Kala Bazar (1960)

So it is day 2 of my Bollywood classics Hindi song, one song per day for the next 300 days. I am going to sing and post 1 song per day for the next 300 days...298 more days to go.

For day 2, I picked a song from 1960, a time before my time, and for many of you too this is possibly before your time. The song is titled Khoya Khoya Chand Khula Aasmaan, from the movie Kala Bazar, directed by Vijay Anand. The music director of this song is my all time Bollywood favorite musician, the legendary Mr. S.D.Burman. He’s the best IMHO. Lyrics written by Shailendra. The original singer of this beautiful song is none other than the legendary singer Mohammed Rafi, the great!

I love this song. This is just my humble attempt singing this song.

Not sure what raaga this song is based on, but if you know, please comment.

Here is a newer rendition with Lyrical Video (Posted on Sep 19, 2025):

The song is published on my YouTube channel (Posted on Jan 30, 2021).

Lyrics:
O ho ho ho khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand

Masti bhari hawa jo chali, masti bhari hawa jo chali
Khil khil gayi yeh dil ki kali
Mann ki gali me hai khalbali, ke unko toh bulao
O ho ho khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand

Tare chale najare chale, tare chale najare chale
Sang sang mere woh sare chale
Charo taraf ishare chale, kisi ke toh ho jao
Oh ho ho khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand ho ho ho ho ho ho

Aisi hi rat bhigi si rat, aisi hi rat bhigi si rat
Hatho me hath hote woh sath
Keh lete unse dil ki yeh bat abb toh naa satao
Oh ho ho khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand

Ham mit chale jinke liye, ham mit chale hai jinke liye
Bin kuchh kahe woh chup chup rahe
Koyi jara yeh unse kahe, naa aise aajmao
Oh ho ho khoya khoya chand, khula aasman
Aankho me sari rat jayegi, tumko bhi kaise nind aayegi
Ho ho khoya khoya chand, khoya khoya chand

This is one of my favorite songs. The lyrical content is so profound. Has a sufi-ana feel to it.

Lyrics:
Main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya
Har fikra ko dhuyein mein udata chala gaya
Har fikra ko dhuyein mein uda

Barbadiyon ka sog manana fizool tha
Barbadiyon ka sog manana fizool tha
Manana fizool tha, manana fizool tha
Barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya
Barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya
Har fikra ko dhuyein mein uda

Jo mil gaya usi ko muqaddar samajh liya
Jo mil gaya usi ko muqaddar samajh liya
Muqaddar samajh liya, muqaddar samajh liya
Jo kho gaya main usko bhulata chala gaya
Jo kho gaya main usko bhulata chala gaya
Har fikra ko dhuyein mein uda

Gham aur khushi mein fark na mehsoos ho jahan
Gham aur khushi mein fark na mehsoos ho jahan
Na mehsoos ho jahan, na mehsoos ho jahan
Main dil ko us makaam pe lata chala gaya
Main dil ko us makaam pe lata chala gaya
Main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya
Har fikra ko dhuyein mein udata chala gaya


Thank you for listening!

Day 116: Today's song is Wahan Kaun Hai Tera by S.D. Burman - Guide (1965)

It is day 116, and today's song is Wahan Kaun Hai Tera sung by S.D. Burman from the 1965 movie Guide, directed by Vijay Anand, and produced by Dev Anand. Music composed by the legendary, and my all time favorite S.D. Burman. Lyrics written by Shailendra.

I love this movie, one of my top favorite movies of all time.
I used to hear this song on the radio, or my father singing or humming. Those days of course I did not listen much to the lyrical content of the song, let alone understand. But in the last two years, thanks to covid-19, as I am listening to, learning and singing more and more classic Bollywood songs, I am getting to explore styles and signatures of different music composers and lyricists. Time and Time, S.D. Burman feels the best to me. 

Here is a lyrical video rendition (Posted on July 17, 2025):

Anyways, here it is, my rendition of the song (Posted on June 16, 2021):

Lyrics:
Waha kaun hai tera
Musafir jayega kaha
Dam lele ghadi bhar ye
Chhaiya payega kaha
Waha kaun hai tera
Musafir jayega kaha
Waha haun hai tera

Bit gaye din pyar ke palachhin
Sapana bani wo rate
Bhul gaye wo tu bhi bhula de
Pyar ki wo mulaqate
Pyar ki wo mulaqate
Sab dur andhera
Sab dur andhera musafir
Jayega kaha dam lele dam lele
Dam lele ghadi bhar ye
Chhaiya payega kaha
Waha haun hai tera

Koi bhi teri raha na dekhe
Nain bichhaye na koi
Dard se tere koi na tadapa
Ankh kisi ki na royi
Ankh kisi ki na royi
Kahe kisako tu mera
Kahe kisako tu mera
Musafir jayega kaha
Dam lele ghadi bhar ye
Chhaiya payega kaha
Waha haun hai tera
Hoo musafir jayega kaha

Kahate hai gyani duniya hai
Fani pani pe likhi likhayi
Hai sabaki dekhi hai sabaki jani
Hath kisike na ayi
Hath kisike na ayi
Kuchh tera na mera
Kuchh tera na mera musafir
Jayega kaha dam lele dam lele
Dam lele ghadi bhar ye
Chhaiya payega kaha
Waha haun hai tera.


Thank you for listening!
Peace

ja re, ja re ud ja re panchhi
baharo ke desh ja re

udi dukh ki dhul raaho me
na daali rahi na kali
ajab gham ki aandhi chali

Day 87: Today's song is Dukhi Man Mere by Kishore Kumar - Funtoosh (1956)

It is day 87, and today's song is Dukhi Man Mere sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1956 movie Funtoosh, directed by Chetan Anand and produced by Dev Anand. Music composed by the great and my all time favorite S.D. Burman and lyrics written by Sahir Ludhianvi.

This is a sad song. Not sure I could emote that sad feeling that Kishore da could.
As far as the movie goes, I don't recall ever watching this movie. Perhaps I will watch it sometime in the next day or so.

Here is a lyrical video rendition (posted on July 03, 2025):

Here it is, my rendition of the song (posted on May 09, 2021):
Chords: ?
Lyrics:
Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana
Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
Dukhi mann mere

Dard hamara koi na jaane
Apani garaj ke sab hai deewane
Kis ke aage rona roye
Desh paraya log begane

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana
Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
Dukhi mann mere

Lakh yaha jholi phaila le
Kuch nahi dege is jag wale
Pathar ke dil mom na hoge
Chahe jitana nir bahale

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana
Jaha nahi chaina waha nahi rahana
Dukhi mann mere

Apane liye kab hai ye mele
Hum hai har ek mele me akele
Kya payega usme rah kar
Jo duniya jivan se khele
Kya payega usme rah kar
Jo duniya jivan se khele

Dukhi mann mere sun mera kahana
Jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
Dukhi mann mere.


Thank you for listening!
