GOLDEN OLDIES: BY LEGENDARY GREATS:

1) MUKESH:

He was so good at his trade, his voice resonated with emotions, raw emotions that would hold one spellbound like the ancient mariner weaving a tale that must be told, and after then, that impact of that story would remain for a lifetime. Such was the golden voice of the Legendary Master, like a magician he would hold one fixated whils't he weaves his enchanting spell with accuracy at the beholders, who can only be dumbstruck with awe, such emotions and sadness would truly soothes the listeners and create that impact to last a lifetime. The man that was endowed with that “bardaan” was Mukesh Chand Mathur, known as Mukesh.

Not many would know that Mukesh Chand Mathur, the singer who later came to be known as Mukesh wanted to be a film actor. He even acted in a few films but thankfully for Hindi film music lovers he got over his acting bug and decided to concentrate on his singing career and what a career it turned out to be. For 22 years he lulled his listeners with his voice and gave them songs that would sometimes evoked tears, and my friends, those songs became memorable for a lifetime, maybe two lifetimes? I would say forever, such was the impact of that Legend Mukesh Chand Mathur.

In this exercise, we will feature 25 songs by Mukesh: so sit back, join with me and lets go down memory lane

(Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
where did those days go
kehte the teri raah meein
when you said that in my path
najaron ko hum bichhayenge)2
you will bestow your gaze

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,
wherever you are
chaahenge tum ko umr bhar
I will love you forever
tum ko naa bhool paayenge
I will never forget you

mere kadam jahaan pade,
wherever my feet left prints
sajade kiye the yaar ne
my friend bowed and kissed the that ground
mere kadam jahaan pade,
wherever my feet left prints
sajade kiye the yaar ne
my friend bowed and kissed the that ground
mujhko rulaa rulaa diyaa,
oh how many tears I have shed
jaatee huyee bahaar ne
over the last days of spring

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
where did those days go
kehte the teri raah meein
when you said that in my path
najaron ko hum bichhayenge
you will bestow your gaze

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,
wherever you are
chaahenge tum ko umr bhar
I will love you forever
tum ko naa bhool paayenge
I will never forget you

apni nazar mein aaj kal
in my eyes, nowadays
din bhi andheri raat hai
even the days are as dark as the night
apni nazar mein aaj kal
in my eyes, nowadays
din bhi andheri raat hai
even the days are as dark as the night
saayaa hi apane saath thaa,
shadows were my only comapnions then
saayaa hi apane saath hai
shadows are my only companions now.

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
where did those days go
kehte the teri raah meein
when you said that in my path

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

(3) KAHIN DOOR JAB DIN DHAL JAYE………ANAND 1970

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.
Mere Khayaalon Ke Aangan Mein Koi Sapnon (Ke Deep Jalaaye)2
in the courtyard of my thought, to light lamps of dreams.

Kabhi Yun Hi Jab Hooin Bojhal Saansen
At times when my breathing became heavy,for no reason at all,
Bhar Aai Baithe Baithe Jab Yun Hi Aankhen
At times when my eyes would fill with tears,for no reason at all,
Kabhi Machal Ke Pyar Se Chal Ke Chhuye Koi Mujhe Par (Nazar Na Aaye)2
someone walks up to me with love, touches my heart but i cannot see her

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

Kahin To Yeh Dil Kabhi Mil Nahin Paate
In some cases,hearts in love never meet.
Kahin Pe Nikal Aaye Janmon Ke Naate
and in other cases,old relations awaken to life.
Thami Thi Uljhan Bairi Apna Man, Apna Hi Hoke Sahe (Dard Paraaye)2
My troubles had halted but my silly heart bears the pain of others.

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

Dil jaane, mere saare, bhed ye gahare
Ho gae kaise mere, sapane sunahare
Ye mere sapane, yahii to hai.n apane
Mujhase judaa na ho.nge inake ye saaye, inake ye saaye

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

(Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai)2
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Jaise Tujhako Banaayaa Gayaa Hai Mere Liye)2
that perhaps you have been created for me
(Tuu Abse Pahale Sitaaron Mein Bas Rahii Thii Kahiin)2
that before this, in stars you dwelt somewhere
(Tujhe Zameen Pe Bulaayaa Gayaa Hai Mere Liye)2
that you have been called to earth for me

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Ye Badan Ye Nigaaheen Merii Amaanat Hain)2
that the body, the gaze, is held in trust for me
Ye Gesuon Kii Ghanii Chhaaon Hain Merii Kaatir
that the deep shade under the long tresses is for me
(Ye Honth Aur Ye Baahein Merii Amaanat Hain)2
those lips, and those arms are in trust for me

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Jaise Bajatii Hain Shahanaaiyaan Sii Raahoon Mein)
that it seems as if clarinets are playing all around
(Suhaag Raat Hai Ghuunghat Uthaa Rahaa Huun Main)2
that it is the wedding night, and I am lifting your veil
(Simat Rahii Hai Tuu Sharamaa Ke Apnii Baahon Mein)2
and you are shyly surrendering yourself in my arms

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
Ke Jaise Tuu Mujhe Chaahegii Umra Bhar Yuunhii
that you will love me all your life, like this
Uthegii Merii Taraf Pyaar Kii Nazar Yuunhii
you will gaze at me with a gaze of love, like this
(Main Jaanataa Huun Ke Tuu Gair Hai Magar Yuunhii)2

Chandani ai ghar jalane
the moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart

Ban ke tute yahaan, Arazu ke mahal
collapsed when built here, the castles of desires
Ye zamein, Asamaan, bhi ga e hain badal
changed is this earth, this sky
(Kahati hai zindagi, is jahaan se nikal)2

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil

Sujhe na koi manzil

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart

Haaye is par to, Aansuon ki dagar
woe, this side is the pathway of tears
Jane us paar kya, ho kise ye khabar
what is on the other side, who knows
(Thokarein, kha rahi, har kadam par nazar )2
stumbling here on each step, each glance

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil

Chandani ai ghar jalane

Sujhe na koi manzil

(6) ZIKR HOTA…………MY LOVE 1970

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa. tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qayamat the conversation turns to your beauty
tu jo chaahe to din nikaltaa hai tu jo chaahe to raat hothee hai
if you desire it, the day dawns, if you want it, the night descends

tujhko dekhaa hai meree nazaron ne, teree taareef ho magar kaise
my eyes have gazed on you, but it is so difficult to praise you
ke bane ye nazar zubaan kaise, ke bane ye zubaan nazar kaise
for how can my gaze be my tongue, and how can my tongue gaze up to you
naa zubaan ko dikhaayi detaa hai, naa nigaahon se baat hothee hai
the tongue can not see anything, and the gaze can not articulate

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qyamat the conversation turns to your beauty

tu nigaahon se naa pilaaye to, ashq bhi peene vaale peete hain
if you do not offer drink from your eyes, the drinkers drink their tears too
vaise jeene ko to tere bin bhi, is zamaane mein log jeete hain
without you many in this world live a kind of a life
zindagii to usee ko kahate hain jo guzar tere saath hothee hai
but life is only that which is spent in your companionship

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qyamat the conversation turns to your beauty
tu jo chaahe to din nikaltaa hai tu jo chaahe to raat hothee hai
if you desire it, the day dawns, if you want it, the night descends

next stanza is missing in some audio files, as is this

tu chalee aaye muskuraatee huyi to bikhar jaaye har taraf kaliyaan
when you come, smiling, you strew flowerbuds all around
tu chalee jaaye ut ke pahaloo se to ujad jaaye.n phoolon ki galiyaan
and when you rise and leave my side the flower pathways are desolate
jis taraf hotee hai nazar teree us taraf qaayanaat hothee hai
the direction you turn your gaze to is where happens the upheaval

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa, tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qayamat the conversation turns to your beauty

In urdu the word qayamat means the judgement day, it is also used to describe upheavals in the extreme.
It also alludes to the last word or the ultimate in anything, nice or not so nice. Here the word talks about the ultimate beauty in its first occurance

(7) CHAND KI DEEWAR NA TODI……….VISHWAS 1969

chand kii deewaar na todii, pyaar bharaa dil tod diyaa
wall of silver wasn't pulled down, but it broke a heart full of love
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

kal tak jisane qasamein khaein, dukh mein sath nibhane ki
till yesterday the one who vowed to stay true in adversity
Aj vo apane sukh ki khatir, ho gai ik begane ki
today for the sake of her comforts, she gave herself to another
shahanaiyon ki gunj mein dabake, rah gai Ah divane ki
the echos of clairenets suppressed the sound of love crazed sighing
dhanavanon ne divane ka, Gam se rishta jod diya
the rich linked the love crazed with grief
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

ye kya samajhe pyar ko jinaka, sab kuchh chandi sona hai
will they consider love instead of those who care for gold and silver
dhanavanon ki is duniya mein, dil to ek khilauna hai
in this world of the rich the heart is just a plaything
sadiyon se dil tutata aya, dil ka bas ye rona hai
from centuries the heart keeps getting broken, such is the tragedy
jab tak chaha dil se khela, aur jab chaha tod diya
toyed with the heart as long as it pleased and broke it on a whim
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

is be aaraam duniyaa mein

kehien aaraam bhi hoga
will there ever be comfort?

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

(mere haalaat koyee na jaane
no one knows my situation
dil ke jasbaath koyee na jaane)2
feelings of my heart, no one knows
jo sahaare they tanhaayiyon ke
the ones that sustained me in lonliness
woh khayaalaat koyi na jaane
those of my thoughts no one knows

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

(mit gaye mere sapnon ke saaye
gone are the shadows of my dreams
huvey apne aaj paraaye)2
those who were mine today belong to others
ab wapass mujhe bulaale
recall me now back to you (addressing God)
mere haalaat pe hans ne waale
you who is laughing on my situation

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

Voh tum na thi to kaun tha, tumhi to thi

Voh tum na thi to kaun tha, tumhi to thi

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de, tadapta huwa jab koyi chhod de
When someone breaks your heart, and leaves you suffering

Tab tum mere paas aana priye, mera dar khula hai khula hi rahega tumhaare liye
Then you come to me, my dear, my door will always be open to you

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de
When someone breaks your heart,

Abhi tumko meri zaroorat nahi, bahot chaahne waale mil jaayenge
You don't need me right now, many people will like you (love you?)
Abhi roop ka ek saagar ho tum, kanwal jitne chaahogi khil jaayenge
You are an ocean of beauty now, as many lotus flowers as you want will bloom in it
Darpan tumhein jab daraane lage, jawaani bhi daaman chhudaane lage
When the mirror starts scaring you, when your youth starts leaving you
Tab tum mere paas aana priye, mera sar jhuka hai jhuka hi rahega tumhaare liye
Then, you come to me, my dear. My head is bowed and will always bow to you.

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de
When someone breaks your heart,

Koyi shart hoti nahi pyaar mein, magar pyaar sharto pe tumne kiya
There are no conditions in love, but you loved on conditions.
Nazar mein sitaare jo chamke zara, bujhaane lagi aarti ka diya
When stars shine a little in your sight, you began to extinguish the flame from the lamp
Jab apni nazar mein hi girne lago, andhero mein apne hi ghirne lago
When you start falling from yourself, you start falling into darkness.
Tab tum mere paas aana priye, ye deepak jala hai jalta hi rahega, tumhaare liye
Then, you come to me, my dear. This light has burned and will continue to burn for you.

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de…

(Bhool ja bhool ja)

(jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa)2
Forget the person who is no longer with us
vo na sun sakegaa teree sadaa
That person will not be able hear you call
jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa
Forget the person who is no longer with us
(use bhool jaa)2

(ye hayaat va maut ki hal dagar, koyi khaaq mein koyi khaaq par)2
this road only leads to death, here one has turned to dust or about to be reduced to dust
yahee jaan le vo koyi na thaa, vo gubaar thaa teraa hamsafar
just think, that one had no identity, he was like dust storm that walked with you for a little while
use duur le ke gayi havaa
and was blown away by the wind
jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa
Forget the person who is no longer with us
(use bhool jaa)2

(Bhool jaa bhool jaa)2

(koyi iltajaa koyi bandagee, na qazaa se haath chhudaa saki)2
No prayer or pleading can save one from the end
ye aadmee ye bade jatan, magar us ke kaam na aa saki
a person may try real hard, but nothing will help
na koyi duaa, na koyi davaa
no prayer or medicine will help
jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa
Forget the person who is no longer with us

(hai mujhe bhi gam kisee yaar kaa, ke lootaa nagar mere pyaar kaa)2
I also am lost my love and my world is in shambles
huaa dar-badar main to is qadar, na khizazn kaa hoon na bahaar kaa
I have lost so much, that now I am incapable of feeling sadness or happiness
mujhe dekh le mujhe kyaa milaa
look and learn from me, what did I get by remembering the one who is not with us

(jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa)2
Forget the person who is no longer with us
vo na sun sakegaa teree sadaa
That person will not be able hear you call
jo chalaa gayaa use bhool jaa
Forget the person who is no longer with us

(use bhool jaa)2

Trans:Ranjana

Mukesh, Naushad, Majrooh Sultanpuri and Ranjana all comes together to give us a gem.
Someday we all have to travel that path, towards the great beyond, as this world is just a stopover, we should strive for “jannat”

(15) TARA TOOTE DUNIYA DEKHE….MALHAR 1951

Basa lee Dil May Tere Yaad
Instilled in my heart, is your memory
Asoo poonch leyay Rahay tu shaad
wiped away my tears, may you be happy
Hamara hai kya jeyai na jeyai
Me, Its not important that I live, or not

Tara Totay Duniya Dekhe
A star breaks and the world witnessed it
(Dekhaana kissine dil toot gaya )2
No one saw as the heart broke

Kitne bhi taray tootay ho gaana kabhi andhiyara
No matter how many stars break, it will not be dark
Aasman par bahut hain taray
In the sky, there are many stars
Dil tha ek hamara, dil tha ek hamara
mine was just the one heart
Toot na jai quen dil usaka
How will this heart not break
Saathi Jisaka chuut gaya
He whose love was separated
Dekhaana kisine dil toot gaya
No one saw as the heart broke

Tara Totay Duniya Dekhe
A star breaks and the world witnesses it
(Dekhaana kissine dil toot gaya )2
No one saw as the heart broke

Chand ko apna daag hai pyara
The moon holds dear its blemish
Chuupi hai koyee kahani
Some tale is hidden behind this
Mai Bhi Chupai hoon seenay may
I too have concealed in my bossom
Kisse ki ek nishaani Kisse ki ek nishaani
someone's keepsake
Kaise Mana loon aanso apnay
How to persuade my tears
Baag hi Mujhasay roothe gaya
Luck is estranged from me
Dekhaana kissine dil toot gaya
No one saw as the heart broke

Tara Totay Duniya Dekhe
A star breaks and the world witnesses it
(Dekhaana kissine dil toot gaya )2
No one saw as the heart broke

Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
Your body is like a cast of sandalwood, with a lively smile
dhiire se teraa yeh musakaanaa
Your smile creeps across your visage so gently
mujhe dosh na denaa jag waalon ho jauun agar main diivaana
Let the world find no fault with me, if I do fall in love with you.
Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
Your body is like a cast of sandalwood, with a lively smile

yah kaam-kamaan bhave terii
Your brows finely pencilled, bent like a bow
palakon ke kinaare kajaraare
Your eyes tinged with kohl
maathe pe sinduurii suraj
A flaming vermilion sun on your forehead
honthon pe dahakate angaare
Simmering embers on your lips
saayaa bhii jo teraa par jaaye
Even your mere passing shadow
aabaad ho dil ka viiraanaa
Causes the wildernesses in my heart to bloom again

Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
Your body is like a cast of sandalwood, with a lively smile

tan bhii sundar man bhii sundar
Your mind is as beautiful as your body
tuu sundarataa kii muurat hai
You are the very incarnation of beauty
kisii aur ko shaayad kam hogii
Maybe someone else needs you as well,
mujhe terii bahut zaruurat hai
But I need you more than anyone else
pahale hii bahut main tarasaa huun
I have already suffered a lot without you
ab aur na mujhako tarasaanaa
Pray make me suffer no more

Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
Your body is like a cast of sandalwood, with a lively smile
dhiire se teraa yeh musakaanaa
Your smile creeps across your visage so gently

THE VIDEO: (20) CHAL AKEYLA CHAL AKEYLA:

O P Nayyar could not understand the appeal of Mukesh and was loathe to use his voice. Finally, he asked Mukesh to sing a song for him in Sambandh. As was the custom in those days the songs of the film started playing on the radio before the film was released. As the song “chal akela chal akela..” was heard, post cards with requests started pouring in at the local radio stations and the song went on to become a hit. The popularity of this song surprised O P Nayyar. This went on to become the only popular and hit song from 'Sambandh' even when the movie had some other good songs.

He has also given me the ability to love.

Phool uthale tho kalai mein lachak aa jai
If you hold a flower you will hurt your wrist

Mein guzarta hi gaya teri hasin rahon se
I kept walking on the roads that brought me closer to you
ek tere naam nein kya kya mujhe himmat di hai
Only your name has given all this strength to continue on the chosen path
mere dil ko bhi zara dekh, kahan tak hun mein
Please look at my heart, how far I have come

For us to have made this essay of songs by Mukesh Chand Mathur possible, we have had to secure the translations of one of our very good friend, since we did not hear from him for quite sometime, we do sincerely hope that wherever our Brother and Good Friend Saeedbhai is, we can only hope that the best will follow him, for his splendid gesture is presenting to this l community his expertise, his time, and most of all his dedication for a job wonderfully done:

Also Ranjana had done some wonderful translations, of which we are also grateful.

Doing a project of this calibre and scope, there are so many that give behind the scene advises and suggestions of which “thanks” would be an injustice to express our gratitude,
before we move to our next artiste, it is fitting that we gave Nitin Mukesh the final word on the passing of his Dad:

GOLDEN OLDIES: BY LEGENDARY GREATS:

'MY FATHER'
by Nitin Mukesh:

Would you believe my father took his first step towards becoming a playback singer at a wedding in Delhi? That too as a baraati? It so happened that the great Motilal, who had blazed the yesteryear screen, was an invitee at the wedding and, obviously, the baraatis wanted to impress him. The onus fell on my father, who was known as the local K L Saigal.

My father, who was only 16 then, was not too keen about the idea. Also, he was rather embarrassed at the thought of performing before the famous Motilal. However, when everyone coaxed him, he agreed. And Motilal was suitably impressed. So much so that he immediately asked the young Mukesh Chand Mathur to accompany him to Bombay. With no formal training in music, it seemed a very big step for a young boy to take…

My grandfather, who was a government servant, was, surprisingly, very supportive of my father's decision. He let him go to Bombay with Motilalji. This, despite the fact that my father was the sixth child in a family of 11 children, and my grandfather was not very well-to-do in those days.

But when my father came to Bombay, Motilalji took complete care of him. He paid for his music classes, allowed him to stay at his house and treated him like his son. Motilalji had only one condition: he told my father he would not use his contacts to help him get a break in the music industry. Which was okay with my father.

Accordingly, my father got his first break on his own. The year was 1951. Music director Anil Biswas offered him the chance to sing one song for the film Pehli Nazar. Dil jalta hai to jalne de was an overnight success. And the spotlight focused sharply on the 18-year-old debutant singer.

Though this song made him famous, my father continued to face many ups and downs in his career. Then, he met Raj Kapoor. The meeting happened quite by accident at Ranjit Studios. But I have always believed that a meeting between these two great people was ordained by the heavens.

Raj Uncle was a great admirer of my father's voice and wanted to sign him on as playback singer for his film. My father readily agreed. The first song my father sang for Raj Uncle was Zinda hoon main for the film, Aag.

There are many people in the film industry who have helped my father in many ways. But there was one person who could, with my father, share the onus of having taken him to the realm of legends — that person is Raj Kapoor.

Many of my father's critics insist he lacked versatility. I find it difficult to agree with them. It is true that my father had been typecast as the perfect voice for sad songs. If Dilip Kumar was the tragedy king of cinema, then Mukesh was the tragedy king of singers. But he is the same person who has sung nimble, happy numbers like Dum dum diga diga and Ramiya vata vaya. Does this show lack of variety?

It was not that my father got to sing more songs than his contemporaries. But, somehow, the song to which he lent his voice would turn out to be the most popular song in the film. Kati Patang, for example, has many good songs sung by good singers. But the most memorable song in the film is Mukesh's Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho balma.

Amongst his contemporaries, my father’s favourite singer was Mohammed Rafi. He loved Rafisaab's voice, and believed that nobody could replace him.

My father belonged to an era that boasted of many talented singers. It was a time when you could not say one singer was better than the other. Just as each singer had his strengths, so also each singer had his weaknesses. My father was a very gifted singer, I believe this talent was God's gift to him. Besides, he was also blessed with good luck.

He was special, because he always sang straight from the heart. He was a very sensitive human and he possessed a fine sense of humour. My father was a fam

2) LATA MANGESHKAR
She has entertained us for over six decades, through glorious melodies of which invokes the realm of amazement in terms of quality, quantity and most important voice perfection.

No other Indian Artiste has achieved as much as Lataji in the field of playback singing. So many awards and honours has been heaped on Lataji.

Once in a lifetime or once in many lifetimes comes someone with such a range that when she sings a happy song we smile and are in awe, and when she sings a sad song, we cannot help but shed a tear.

In her six decades of singing, she has compiled over many thousand songs in different languages…a feat recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records.
During the six decades her voice has been mimicked by all the top bollywood heroines from the 1940's to 2000's

Many an artiste has touched the pinnacle of success and has receeded, but the nightingale of India once reached that height, remains there, a rare occurance in a lifetime.

In presenting Lataji, on Golden Oldies, we shall try our best to accumulate from the internet the best of her songs and put them together, to give the fans and our readers an understanding of this amazing artiste that has graced our presence with her astonishing achievement in the Musical Art.

So many memorable songs Lataji has recorded with the best of Music Composers, in the like of Shankar Jaikishan and lyricists Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra, also there was the great Naushad, who composed some of Lataji's greatest songs, the musical duo Kalyanji-Anandji had first worked with Lata as the assistants of Shankar-Jaikishan. When they decided to compose music independently, they chose Lata as their lead female voice. When Kalyanji Anandji's assistants, Laxmikant Pyarelal (“Laxmi-Pyare”) decided to go independent, Lata recommended them to producers and sang for their first film.

In 1960s, S D Burman's son, Rahul Dev Burman, also made his debut as a composer. He recorded many songs with Lata in late 1960s, including Kya janoon sajan (Baharon Ke Sapne, 1967), *Aaja Piya Tohe Pyar Doon” (Baharon Ke Sapne, 1967)

*Was in my mail box recently*

So much has been written about Lataji, in this effort we will just present about 25 of her songs with informations listed, so my friends, once again another treat comes your way.

1) AAYEGA AAYEGA AAYEGA AANEWALA…………..MAHAL 1949

Khaamosh hai zamaanaa, chup chup hain sitaare
The world is still, the stars are quiet
Aaraam se hai duniyaa, bekal hai dil ke maare
The world is content, but the lovers are restless
Aise mein koii aahat, is tarah aa rahii hai
In this stillness, I am startled with a subtle sound
Jaise ki chal rahaa hai, man mein koii hamaare
It seems that some one is walking within my heart
Yaa dil dhadak rahaa hai, ik aas ke sahaare
or is it the sound of my heartbeat, which is beating in hope that

Aayega aayega aayega
some one will come
Aayega aane waala, aayega aayega aayega
the one who must come (my lover), will come

(Deepak bagair kaise parwaane jal rahe hain)2
How is it that moths are burning without a flame
(how does one feel restless without a reason)
(Koi nahin chalata, aur teer chal rahe hain)2
even no one is shooting the arrows, I can feel the pain
(how does one feel the pain of seperation without a lover)
(Tadpega koi kab tak beaas besahaare)2
How long should a helpless person suffer without a hope?
Lekin yeh keh rahe hain dil ke mere ishaare
But my hearts believes that ……

Aayega aayega aayega
The one I want is on its way
Aayega aane waala, aayega aayega aayega
the one who must come (my lover), will come

(Bhatakthi hui jawaani manzil ko dhoondti hai)2
this beauty is desolate and wandering, looking for her destination
(Maajhi bagair nayya sahil ko dhoondti hai)2
Like a boat without a boatman is looking for the shore
(Kya jaane dil ki kashti kab tak lage kinaare)2
Who knows when the heart/boat will find the shore( my lover)
Lekin yeh keh rahe hain dil ke mere ishaare
But my heart believes that…..

Aayega aayega aayega
some one will come
Aayega aane waala, aayega aayega aayega aayega
the one who must come will come.

THE VIDEO: AAYEGA AAYEGA AAYEGA AANEWALA:

Nostalgic:
Aayega aanewala (Mahal, 1949; music by Khemchand Prakash) – This was the song that defined the beginning of the Mangeshkarian magic and transformed Madhubala into an instant living legend. Ironically, Madhubala didn't lip-sync it on screen at all ! It was played in the background. But what an impact it made ! With one song Lataji wiped away all the careers of existing female singers. Ashok Kumar who played the lead in Mahal still recalls how everyone in the room reacted when the then- unknown Lata was asked to sing. Even today mention of Aaayega aanewala lights up Lataji's eyes. “It's hundred percent my favourite. I had done a number of rehearsals for the song. Actually the composer Khemchand Prakash heard me singing for Anil Biswas. A number of tunes were readied for Aayega aanewala. I was given strict instructions about the importance of the song. The producer Ashok Kumar and the director Kamal Amrohi told me I had to sing as though the heroine was approaching from a distance. Since the studio was very large, I was placed in one corner of the room and told to gradually approach the microphone in the middle of the room while singing. There were no dubbing and editing devices in those days. We had to do it all in one go. I still remember we recorded the entire day.”

Mushkil hai

Mushkil hai ai ai ai

Mushkil hai bahut mushkil (chaahat ka bhula dena)2
It is really difficult to forget your love
aasaan nahin dil ki (yeh aag bujha dena)2
It is not easy to put out the fire of love in the heart

(yeh khel nahin lekin yeh khel hai ulfat ka)2
This is not a game, one should take it seriously
roton ko hansa dena (hanston ko rulaa dena)2
A crying person can be made happy, and a happy person can
be reduced to tears

Mushkil hai bahut mushkil
It is really difficult

(dilwalon ki duniya mein hai rasm ke jab koi)2
In the land of love, the tradition is such that
aaye to qadam lena (jaaye to duaa dena)2
When one enters one must pace themselves,(take things
slowly) and when they leaves pray for them because they
will be leaving devastated

Mushkil hai bahut mushkil
It is really difficult

It is a problem, but I would not be able to forget you
mumkin to nahin lekin (tum hum ko bhula dena 2)
I do not think it will be possible, but you should try to
forget about me

Mushkil hai bahut mushkil (chaahat ka bhula dena)2
It is really difficult to forget your love

Pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid to fall in love?
Pyaar kiya koi chori nahin ki, pyaar kiya
We fell in love, we didn’t commit any crime
Pyaar kiya koi chori nahin ki, chhup chhup aahein bharna kya
We fell in love, committed no crimes, why stay quiet in secret?

Jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid of love?
Pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid to fall in love?

(Aaj kahenge dil ka fasaana, jaan bhi le le chaahe zamaana)2
We’ll tell our tale this day even if the world demands our lives
Maut vohi jo duniya dekhe
real death is what is witnessed
Maut vohi jo duniya dekhe, ghut ghutkar yun marna kya
real death is what is witnessed by all, why should we suffocate in secrecy?

Jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid of love?
Pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid to fall in love?

(Unki tamanna dil mein rahegi, shamma isi mehfil mein rahegi)2
This desire and flame for my beloved will burn, but remain in my heart
Ishq mein jeena, ishq mein marna
to live for love , to die for love
(Ishq mein jeena, ishq mein marna)2 aur hamein ab karna kya
to live and die for love is all that’s left for us

Jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid of love?
Pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid to fall in love?

(Chhup na sakega ishq hamaara, chaaron taraf hai unka nazaara)2
our love cannot be hidden, it’s visible all around

Parda nahin jab koi khuda se
we are not hiding our love from God
Parda nahin jab koi khuda se, bandon se parda karna kya
Not hiding our love from God, why should we hide our love from mankind?

Jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid of love?

Pyaar kiya to darna kya, jab pyaar kiya to darna kya
Why should we be afraid to fall in love?

Pyaar kiya koi chori nahin ki, chhup chhup aahein bharna kya

Badi chot khaai javani pe roye, javani pe roye
I have suffered grave injury crying for my wasted youth

Muhabbat ki jhuthi kahani pe roye
I am weeping at the false stories of love

Khabar kya thi hoonthoon ko sina padega
I never knew that I had to keep my lips sealed (be silent)
muhabbat chhupa ke bhi, jina padega
I will have to hide my love, and still live
jiye to magar zindagani pe roye, roye
I am living but crying over the way I have to live

I am weeping at the false stories of love
Badi chot khaai javani pe roye, javani pe roye

9) MEHFIL MAIN JAL UTHI SHAMA……….NIRALA 1951

(Mehafil men jal uthi shamaa)2 paravaane ke liye
In a gathering she burns for her admirer like the deadly flame for the moth
prit bani hain duniya men, mar jaane ke liye )2
Same way, in this world, love is created to die.

chaaron taraf lagaae phere, phir bhi haradam dur rahe
The moth revolves around the flame, but never gets close enough
ulfat dekho aag bani hai, milane se majabuur rahe
Love is like fire, unable to let the two lovers meet
(yahi sazaa hain duniya men,)2 divaane ke liye
This is the way the world punishes the one who loves
prit bani hain duniya men, mar jaane ke liye
Same way, in this world, love is created to die.

mehafil men jal uthi shamaa,paravaane ke liye
In a gathering she burns for her admirer like the deadly flame for the moth
prit bani hain duniya men, mar jaane ke liye
Same way, in this world, love is created to die.

marane ka hai naam mohabat, jalane ka hai naam javaani
Another name for death is love, another name for youth is pain
patthar dil hain sunane vaale, kahane vaalaa aankh ka pani
the heart is like stone and the lovers tears are falling on the stone
(aansuu aaye aankhon men)2 gir jaane ke liye
The tears come into the eyes to fall
prit bani hain duniya men, mar jaane ke liye
Same way, in this world, love is created to die.

mehafil men jal uthi shamaa, paravaane ke liye
In a gathering she burns for her admirer like the deadly flame for the moth

10) DAR NA MOHABAT KARLE………..ANDAAZ 1949

Dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
Don’t be afraid to love someone
Ulfat se jholi bhar le duniya hai char din kijee le chahe marr le
Fill your life with love, you decide to either to “live your life” or just exist
ho dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
come on, don’t be afraid to love someone

duniya Paani tu bhi Paani leta jaa ulfat ki nishani
Nothing remains constant in life, you take the momento of love
do lafzon ki ek kahani ek mohabbat ek jawani
this whole life consist of 2 word, love and youth
yaad isse tu kar le yaad isse tu kar le
always keep this in mind

dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
don’t be scared to love

duniya toh kaaton ka ek ban hain aur ulfat phoolon ka chaman hain
the world is a bed of thorns, where love is like a beautiful garden
kar le wahi jo dil ki lagan hain soch na manzil (dil ki kathan hain )2
do what yout heart tells you, don’t think about the consequences
iss manzil se gujar le iss manzil se gujar le
Just go through this phase as well

dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
Don’t be afraid to love someone
ulfat se jholi bhar le duniya hai char din ki jee le chahe marr le
Fill your life with love, you decide to either to “live your life” or just exist
ho dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
Don’t be afraid to love someone

kehna jo tuney mera na maana pichhe padega phir pachhtana
if you don’t listen to me you may regret it.
dekh le apna kar le thikana yeh hai mohabbat (woh hai zamana )2
make your choices now, this is your love and on the opposite end is the world
hass le ya aahen bhar le hass le ya aahen bhar le
Laugh and sigh in love

dar na mohabbat kar le dar na mohabbat kar le
Don’t be afraid to love someone

Pyaar Hi Mein Kho Gaya, Ye Zindagi Usi Ki Hai)2
And lost themselves in reciprocal love only then is life worth living.

This spring, this season, is encouraging us to love
Kisi Ki Arazu Mein Apane Dil Ko Beqaraar Kar)2
Making your heart restless longing for someone

Life can betray you (too short)
Zindagi Hai Bevafaa, Luut Pyaar Kaa Mazaa
Life can betray you, stealing the pleasures of love at every opportunity.

And lost themselves in reciprocal love only then is life worth living.

Dhadak Raha Hai Dil To Kya, Dil Ki Dhadakanein Na gin
If the heart is pounding, Don’t count your heartbeats
Phir Kahaan Ye Fursatein, Phir Kahaan Ye Raat-din
When shall we have the beautiful night and day again
Aa Rahi Hai Yeh Sadaa
I am hearing this message
Aa Rahi Hai Yeh Sadaa, Mastiyon Mein Jhuum Jaa
I am hearing the message of enjoyment this time

(Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai, Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya
This life is worth living only if one belongs to another

Stop, oh my heartbeat, I have found my destination

Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha

(Ji Hamen Manzoor Hai, Aapka Ye Faisla)2
Yes, this decision of yours is agreeable to me
Kah Rahi Hai Har Nazar, Banda Paravar Shukriya
My every glance is saying “Oh my love, thank you”
Hanske Apni Zindagi Mein, Kar Liya Shaamil Mujhe
With a smile, you have accepted me in your life

Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha …
Your eyes have found me capable..

Aapki Manzil Hoon Main Meri Manzil Aap Hain
I am now your destination, you are my destination
Kyon Main Toofaan Se Darun Mera Saahil Aap Hain
Why should I be scared of a storm, when you are my shore
Koi Tufanon Se Kah De, Mil Gaya Sahil Mujhe
Someone please tell the storm that I have found my shore

Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha …
Your eyes have found me capable..

(Pad Gai Dil Par Meri, Aapki Parchhaiyan)2
Your shadow has fallen upon my heart
Har Taraf Bajane Lagin Saikadon Shahnaaiyaan
Every directions, there are million of instruments playing
Do Jahaan Ki Aaj Khushiyan Ho Gayee Haasil Mujhe
I have obtained all the joys of the world today

Aapki Manzil Hoon Main Meri Manzil Aap Hain
I am your destination, you are my destination
Kyon Main Toofaan Se Darun Mera Saahil Aap Hain
Why should I be scared of a storm, you are my shore

My dream has reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream has reduced me to tears

(Wohi hein ghamein dil, wohi hain chanda tare
The saddened heart, the moon and the stars are the same
hai, wohi ham besahare) 2
ohhh, here I am still helpless
aadhi raat wohi hai, aur har baat wohi hai
again it is the midnight, infact everything is the same as before
phir bhi naa aaya lutera
except that my lover is not here

Rula ke gaya sapana mera
My dream has reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream has reduced me to tears

(kaisi yeh zindgi, ke sanso se ham ube
what kind of life is this that I am tired of breathing
ke dil duba ham dube)2
as my heart sinks so do I
ek dukhiya bechari, is jeevan se haari
this poor saddened women is tired of this life as it is
us par yeh gam ka andhera
and over top of that to be overshadowed by dark cloud of sadness

Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream has reduced me to tears
baiti hun kab ho savera
I am sitting and waiting for the morning
Rula ke gaya sapna mera
My dream has reduced me to tears

23) AY MERE DILAY NADAAN…………TOWER HOUSE 1962

(Aye mere dil-e-nadan tu gham se na ghabarana)2
O my innocent heart, don’t be afraid of sorrow
Ik din to samajh legi duniya tera afsaana
One day this world will understand your side of the story
Aye mere dil-e-nadan tu gham se na ghabarana
O my innocent heart, don’t be afraid of sorrow

Armaan bhare dil mein zakhmon ko jagah de de
in your heart, with aspirations make room for the wounds
Bhadke hue sholon ko kuch aur hawa dede
when something is already burning, what if one adds a little fuel to the fire
(life is already rough, what is the difference if more hurt is piled on)
Banti hai to ban jaaye yeh zindagi afsaana
So what if my life remains in this world as a story
(when people die only stories remain behind)

Aye mere dil-e-nadan tu gham se na ghabarana
O my innocent heart, don’t be afraid of sorrow

Fariyad se kya haasil rone se natija kya
What is the use of complaining and crying?
Bekaar hai yeh baatein in baaton se hoga kya
crying and complaining is useless, nothing will change
Apna bhi ghadi bhar mein ban jaata hai begaana
a loved one, in a moment can become a stranger

Aye mere dil-e-nadan tu gham se na ghabarana
O my innocent heart, don’t be afraid of sorrow

Trans:Ranjana

Apna bhi ghadi bhar mein ban jaata hai begaana
A loved one, in a moment can become a stranger

So much truth is expressed in these words:

24) MERE MEHBOOB TUJHAY……….MERE MEHBOOB 1963:

Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbt ki kasam
My beloved, I beseech you in the name of my love for you
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahara dede
Once again, give me the support of these Iris-like eyes
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Ae mere khwab ki taabir meri jaan-e-ghazal
You who are the realization of my dreams, the soul of my poetry
Zindagi meri tujhe yaad kiye jaati hai
My existence (life) keeps remembering you
Raat din mujhko satata hai tasavur tera
Day and night I am tormented by the thought of you
Dil ki dhadkan tujhe awaaz diye jaati hai
My heartbeat keeps calling out to you
Aa mujhe apni sadaon ka sahara dede
Come strengthen me with your voice calling out to me
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazzara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Bhool sakti nahin ankhen woh suhana manzar
My eyes can not forget that lovely sight
Jab tera husn mere ishq se takraya tha
When your beauty, accidently met with my adoration
Aur phir raha mein bikhre the hazaron naghme
Around us swelled thousands of melodies
Meri woh naghme teri awaaz ko de aaya tha
I had bestowed those melodies of mine to your voice
Saz-e-dil ko unhi geeton ka sahara dede
Play those songs on the lyrics of my heart
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Yaad hai mujhko meri umr ki pehli woh gadi
I remember the very first moment of my life
Teri ankhon se koi jaam piya tha maine
When I became intoxicated looking at your beautiful eyes
Mere rug rug mein koi barqse lehrai thi
Lightening struck through every part of my being
Jab tere marmari haathon ko chua tha maine
When I hesitantly touched your fair hands
Aa mujhe phir unhi haathon ka sahara dede
Give me once again the support of those fair hands
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Maine ik baar teri ek jhalak dekhi hai
Once I saw you for a brief moment
Meri hasrat hai ke mein phir tera deedar karoon
I long to see you once again in front of my eyes
Tere saaye ko samajh kar mein haseen Taj Mahal
Your shadow I will treat as the Beautiful Taj
Chandni raat me nazaronse tujhe pyar karoon
And in moonlit night I will love you with my eyes
Apni mehki hui zulfon ka sahara dede
Give me the gift of your fragrant tresses
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Dhoond tha hoon tujhe har raah mei har mehfil mein
I seek you in every path, in every gathering
Thak gaye hai meri majboor tamanna ki kadam
Weary now is my helpless unfulfilled desire
Aaj ka din meri umeed ki hai aakhri din
Today is the last day of my hopes
Kal na jaane mei kahan aur kahan tu hai sanam
Tomorrow who knows where we will be, my love
Do ghadi apni nigahon ka sahara dede
For a brief moment support me with your gaze
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Saamne aa ke zara parda utha de rukh se
Appear in front of me and unveil yourself
Ik yahi mera ilaaj-e-ghum-e-tanhai hai
Only this is the way to treat the sickness of my loneliness
Teri furqat ne pareshaan kiya hai mujhko
Your separation torments me constantly
Ab to milja ke meri jaan pe ban aayi hai
Oh come to me for this is now my life and death issue
Dil ko bhooli hui yaadon ka sahara dede
Shore up my heart with the forgotten memories
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost

Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbt ki kasam(repeat)
My beloved, I beseech you in the name of my love for you
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahara dede
Once again, give me the support of these Iris like eyes
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

25) KAHIN DEEP JALE KAHE DIL……….BEES SAAL BAAD 1965

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Kahin deep jale kahin dil
The lamp is lighting, whils’t the heart is burning
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Come and look, oh lover
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Which is your destination
Kahin deep jale kahin dil
The lamp is lighting, whils’t the heart is burning
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

(Mera geet mere dil ki pukaar hai
My song is the call of my heart
Jahan main hoon vahin tera pyaar hai)2
Wherever I am, there is your love
Mera dil hai teri mehfil
My heart is your gathering
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Come and look, oh lover
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Which is your destination

Kahin deep jale kahin dil
The lamp is lighting, whils’t the heart is burning

(Na main sapna hoon na koi raaz hoon
I am not a dream or a secret
Ek dard bhari aawaaz hoon)2
I am a voice filled with pain
Piya der na kar aa mil
Darling don’t be late, come and meet
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Come and look, oh lover
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Which is your destination

Kahin deep jale kahin dil
The lamp is lighting, whils’t the heart is burning

(Dushman hai hazaaron yahan jaan ke
The are thousands of enemies of this life
Zara milna nazar pehchaanke)2
Meet me by recognising my glance
Kayi roop mein hai kaatil
The enemies are in many forms
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Come and look, oh lover
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
which is your destination

Kahin deep jale kahin dil
The lamp is lighting, whils’t the heart is burning

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Lata Mangeshkar has given the music world so many gems for all these years, gems that will forever be remembered. She stands supreme as a singer in her days which span so many decades, whils’t others marvelled at the Mangeshkar Magic.

Today the majority of female singers who sing in hindi films have Lata as their idol. All of them look at her for inspiration.

Would we ever have someone of Lataji’s calibre again? I doubt wether.

He is popularly known as Manna Dey, but his name at birth was recorded as Prabodh Chandra Dey. He was born on May 1st 1919. That makes him 90 this May 1st. Manna Dey was a flawless singer and a master of semi-classical geets. The reason why Manna, didn’t scale the heights he deserved was because of his voice which didn’t seem to suit young heroes. Also another point to be looked at, was at the time there was so many a competitions in the company of Mohd Rafi, Mukesh, and the flamboyant Kishore Kumar. Mannaji as he is tenderly known, still kept his place with the greatest and create a niche for himself and he was undoubtfully one of the most accomplished singers of the Indian film industry.

Our lens will focus on this wonderful son of the soil, who has thrilled us many a times, with so many wonderful soul searching tunes.

In looking and researching information on Manna Dey, we will spin some of his songs, maybe about 25 or so that were so memorable in its days.

When Raj Kapoor had to sing a song with classical nuances Manna Dey had to do the job and how competently he did is evident from *laga Chunri Mein Daag from DIL HI TO HAI, and Chalat Musafir Moh liya re from TEESRI KASAM. Within the domains of classical nuances these songs have a sense of mischief written all over them.

My friends, sit back and lets traverse down memory lane with Manna Dey.

*In rating Manna Dey songs I will have to place this one at the top.

Jiskaa koee naheen uskaa to khudaa hain yaaro

mai naheen kahtaa kitaabon mein likhaa hain yaaro
It’s not just me saying this; it’s written in books, my friends.

Jiskaa koee naheen uskaa to khudaa hain yaaro
My friends, God belongs to those who have no one.

Jisne paidaa kiyaa duniyaan mein wahee paalegaa
He who brought you into this world will take care of us,
Hum ko har mod pe, har zulm se bacha legaa
will save us from misfortunes at every turn in the road.
Apne bando se kahaa, kab wo judaa hain yaaro
He told this to his servants; when does he ever forsake them, my friends?

Jiskaa koee naheen uskaa to khudaa hain yaaro
My friends, God belongs to those who have no one.

Zulm insaan kaa jab had se gujar jaataa hai
When the atrocities of man surpass all limits,
Wo kisee aaur hee soorat mein paas aataa hai
he comes to them under some other guise.
Anaginat rup mein wo hum se milaa hain yaaro
He has met with us in countless forms, my friends.

Jiskaa koee naheen uskaa to khudaa hain yaaro
My friends, God belongs to those who have no one.

Oaths, promises, love, fidelity all are just words, what of words
Koyi kisi ka nahi ye jhoothhe, Naate hain naato ka kya
no one is anyone, these are false connections, what of connections

Hoga masiha…
God will be
Hoga masiiha sammne tere,
God will be there in front of you
Phir bhi na tu bach paayega
but you will still not be saved
Tera apna…
Your own
Tera apna khoon hi akkhir tujhko aag lagaayega
your own blood will set fire to you (cremation ceremony)
Aasmaan mein…
In the sky
Aasmaan me udne walle mitti mein mil jaayega
those who fly in the sky will end up in dust (buried)

Kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab, baatein hain baato ka kya
oaths, promises, love, fidelity all are just words, what of words

Sukh mein tere…
In your happiness
Sukh mein tere saath chalenge,
everyone will walk with you in your happiness
Dukh mein sab mukh modenge
in (your) sorrow everyone will turn their faces away
Duniya waale…
people of the world
Duniya waale tere bankar tera hi dil todenge
people of the world will first become yours and then break your heart
Dete hain…
they give
Dete hain bhagwaan ko dhokha,
they even cheat God
Insaan ko kya chhodenge
how can they let go mortals

Kasme waade pyaar wafaa sab, Baatein hain baato ka kya
Oaths, promises, love, fidelity all are just words, what of words
Koyi kisi ka nahi ye jhoothhe, Naate hain naato ka kya
no one is anyone, these are false connections, what of connections

(Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara)2
(Aah, aah)
Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Ithlaati hawa, neelam sa gagan
Kaliyon pe yeh behoshi ki nami
Aise mein bhi kyoon bechain hai dil
Jeevan mein na jaane kya hai kami

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara

Jo din ke ujaale ne na mila
Dil dhoonde aise sapne ko
Is raat ki jagmag mein doobi
Main dhoond rahi hoon apne ko

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Aise mein kahin kya koi nahin
Bhoole se jo humko yaad kare
Ek halki si muskaan pe jo
Sapnon ka jahan aabaad kare

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara
Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere voh chaand pyaara pyaara

9) KAUN AAYAA MERE MAN KE DVARRE……….DEKH KABIRA ROYA 1957:

(Kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare, paayal kii jhanakaar liye)2
who came to the doors of my heart with the jingling sound of anklets
kaun aayaa
who came?

(Aankh na jaane, dil pahachaane suuratiyaa kuchh aisii)2
the eye does not know, but the heart recognizes this face
yaad karun to, yaad na aaye muuratiyaa ye kaisii
when I try to remember I can not, what is this idol
paagal manavaa, soch mein Duubaa sapanon kaa sansaar liye
crazy mind is deep in thought with this world of dreams

kaun aayaa
who came?

(Ik pal sochuun, merii aashaa ruup badal kar aai)2
one moment I think my hope has come in a different form
duuje pal phir, dhyaan ye aae ho na kahiin parachhaaiin
the next moment I think what if this may be just a shadow
jo paradesii ke, ghar aai ek anokhaa pyaar liye
that which has come to the door of a foreigner bringing an unusual love

kaun aayaa
who came?
