Zindagi or Jeevan Songs Series
I started this series on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne on 18 Oct 20. Since then, many other members have put up these songs. Here, I shall be giving you one of my own, per day.
I hope you liked my choice for Song #45 – Kya yunhi rooth ke jaane ko Zindagi or Jeevan Songs series. Let’s start with Song #46.
Song #46
Na ye chand hoga
Theme-word: Sahara mile jo tumhari hansi ka, Bhula denge hum saara gham zindagi ka
I had posted the song in another Fest too:
TUMHARE SONGS FEST
Day #2, Song #3
Na ye chand hoga
Theme-word: Tumhare liye hain tumhare rahenge
MY SONGS IN THIS FEST
I am often amused to read the comments by someone or the other that he or she would have put up a song too had it not been put up by such and such. Or that a song posted by someone is in your list too. I go through each Fest when about 80 percent of the songs put up are actually on my list. This is because I cannot announce a Fest until I have at least 70 to 80 songs on the theme.
In this Fest, from this list, I selected for you the following:
- Man tadpat Hari darsan ko aaj (among the best by Shakeel – Naushad with theme-word being Tumre dwar ka main hoon jogi). It is in Raag Malkauns.
- Do naina matware tihare (the best of KL Saigal and Pankaj Mullick with the theme-word being another variation of Tumhare: Tihare. It is in Raag Kalyan.
- Hum pe ilzaam yeh kyun hai ke mohabbat ki hai (the genius of OP Nayyar being such that no one can imagine the prelude is leading to a ghazal).
Jab jab tyumhen bhulaya (Rajinder Krishan – Madan Mohan – Lata and Asha). - Tum mujhe youn bhula na paoge (my first ever song in Raaga based series; this being in Raag Jhinhhoti).
Na ye chand hoga.
THIS SONG
I have the video and rendition of this song available, having sung this in KLF 2019, the video being on the love of my life: Lyn. However, here I have decided to give you the Geeta Dutt version. As seen by me, the lyrics of SH Bihari are much better in the female version than in the male version sung by Hemant Kumar. Both are on my favourite theme: Chand.
To start with, here are the lyrics:
न ये चाँद होगा न तारे रहेंगे
मगर हम हमेशा तुम्हारे रहेंगे
न ये चाँद होगा…
नज़र ढूँढती थी जिसे पा लिया है
उम्मीदों के फूलों से दामन भरा है
ये दिन हमको सब दिन से प्यारे रहेंगे
न ये चाँद होगा…
कहूँ क्या मेरे दिल का अर्मान क्या है
तुम्हें हर घड़ी चूमना चाहता है
कहाँ तक भला जी को मारे रहेंगे
न ये चाँद होगा…
सहारा मिले जो तुम्हारी हँसी का
भुला देंगे हम सारा ग़म ज़िन्दगी का
तुम्हारे लिये हैं तुम्हारे रहेंगे
न ये चाँद होगा…
MY OWN POETRY
Chand Mere Liye Kya Hai?
कैसे बतायूँ किसीको चांद मेरे लिए क्या है,
चांदनी प्यार बन के बिखरी है उसी की तो दुआ है।
होने को ज़िन्दगी में बहुत कुछ हो चुका, लेकिन
जब जब चांद निकला, लगता तभी कुछ हुआ है।
उनकी आंखों में झलक उठती है किरण माहताब की,
मैं कुछ कहूँ तो कहते हैं जाईये यह सिर्फ हया है।
लोग कहते हैं सदियों से ऐसे ही उगता रहा है,
मेरे दिल में नज़र डालो, हर चांद कुछ नया है।
दिल के ख़ज़ाने रौशन हुए यह चांद की खिदमत है,
पूछते हैं वह चांद ने तुम्हें दिया ही क्या है।
तन्हाई में मुझे और मेरी कलम को इक सहारा मिला,
चांद न हो तो जीने में क्या मज़ा है।
डगमगाता हूँ चांदनी रातों में कुछ ऐसे, रवि,
जैसे चांदनी चांदनी नहीं इक अजब सा नशा है।
LET CHAND GUIDE YOUR IMAGINATION
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no point in describing to you the story of the movie Shart or this and that about the composer Hemant Kumar and singer Geeta Dutt. Nor am I telling you anything about the Director Bhibhuti Mitra and the lead cast of Deepak and Shyama giving not one but three Chand songs!
All I want you to do is to let Chand guide your imagination and take you to places.
Here goes: (Listen to her from 3:04):
I hope you enjoyed my choice for Song #46 in the series.
Please await Song #47 – hasne ki chah ne.
