About this blog
I am Atul,an India based male in my 40s.My interests are similar to the interests of a typical Indian- Bollywood, cricket, politics etc.
I already have two blogs under my belt- squarecutsblog.blogspot.com is where I discuss music in general, and I used atulblog.wordpress.com for humour. Now I felt the need for a blog where I could express my admiration of certain bollywood songs that I simply love.
In this blog I will discuss some wonderful songs that I have had the privilege of listening to, over the years.Here I will discuss the songs, (including its lyrics and its translation into English), and my reasons why I like the song.I hope that there are many like minded people who will find these discussions interesting.
Your comments are welcome. Or you may email me at squarecut.atul@gmail.com
Update ( on 3 october 2008 )
I thank all the visitors of this blog for their encouragement. This blog has been regularly clocking more than 300 visits daily ( best being 506 visits a day). The home page now has a google page rank of 4. Many individual posts ( posted before 14 septeber 2008 ) now have google page ranks of 3 and some even 4. All this is entirely because of the readers of this blog.
I take this opportunity to thank all my visitors and I assure you all that I will try to live up to your expectations in future also. Please give your suggestions so that I may be able to improve this blog, which is a labour of love for me.
Update on 1 January 2009
I wish all my readers and their near and dear ones a happy new year. May this new year be the best ever for you.
I thank all my readers for patronising this blog and encouraging me by their visits, comments, and farmaishes.
Thanks to your encouragement, this labour of love now has as many as 480 outstanding Bollywood songs ( as on 1 january 2009) and growing at a good pace. This blog is clocking over 500 visits daily ( maximum being 995 in one day).
I thank all my visitors once again and assure you all that I will continue to bring more such songs regularly for your reading, listening and viewing pleasures.
Update on 12 november 2009
Now, the blog has over 2150 songs as on now. The traffic has also increased. Now the blog gets over 1500 hits a day on an average and the highest hit in a day has been 2301. The blog does very well on search engines for relevant searches. It is heartening to see the blog growing so nicely. Hopefully we will have exciting days ahead of us.
Update on 28 march 2010
Since november 2009, when I posted my last update, I have slowed down in my rate of posting. Still, 2365 number of songs as of now is quite a lot of songs.
I find that the number of visitors to this blog has stabilised to an average figure of around 1500 visits daily (2320 being the highest number of visits in a day), which works out to just under 50,000 visitors per month. This blog has received nearly 7,00,000 visits since it was started.
I may have slowed down, but Hopefully it is just the lull before the storm. There are still tens of thousands of great songs yet to be covered which will take a lifetime. In other words, I will be kept busy posting songs for a long long time and there is no possibility that I will be running out of songs to post any time soon.
Acknowledgements:
In this blog, I embed audio/video links from sites like youtube and dailymotion etc. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts and contributions that the uploaders of these songs make in making these songs available to us for our pleasure and enjoyment. Without these links, this blog would not be what it is.
I also provide information about songs that is culled from different sources, mostly by googling. I acknowledge their contributions too, which helps me provide some useful information about the songs that I discuss.
PS- Sometimes I get comments where new visitors ask me to send them various songs. I will like to point it out that this blog is a place to discuss songs and I am not in a position to send links to songs or the songs themselves. As can be seen, this blog is a labour of love where I discuss songs with people (many of them becoming good internet friends with me), and not a place to share download links.
Disclaimer- I would like to believe that I have a sense of humour. Raja in fact has coined a term “Atulism” for this kind of humour. I often love to make light hearted comments about movies, songs, actors etc in my discussion of the songs. They are needed to be taken as such and should not be misconstrued as anything serious. I love to make light hearted observations and those observations need to be treated as such.
It has been made amply clear that this blog is a labour of love where we value the oldtime virtues of honesty and transparancy. By now we have a core group of regulars who are making invaluable contributions voluntarily through various means, viz sending lyrics, writeups, informations etc. Music lovers who are willing to join this music bandwagon are welcome.
Music lovers who are willing to contribute lyrics should ensure that their contributions are original in the sense that they should have listened to the lyrics themselves and noted them down. Please do not send incorrect/ incomplete lyrics copied from elsewhere on internet calling them your contributions. We in this blog are very particular about the completeness and accuracy of lyrics that are being posted.
Update on 27 december 2011
The primary domain name of this blog is now atulsongaday.me
Hopefully it is easier to remember for users.

Wow, my first farmaish. I am feeling like rwhat the radio announcers of Radio Radio Ceylon felt on receiving their “farmaishes” from Jhumri Tilayya and other such places.
August 27, 2008 at 11:35 am
When it comes to Indian music Stamford is probabaly really behind the times and even more obscure than Jhumri Tallaiya 
September 13, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Hi Atul,
I said I would give you some farmaishes…well, here they are…totally your decision of course if you want to present them…and when…
Jo tumko ho pasand wohi baat karenge (one of my Mukesh favourites)
Dil ka haal sune dilwaala (timepass, very pleasant song…brings back lots of memories…fun lyrics)
Hum chhod chale hain mehfil ko (I have always loved this Mukesh song)
Rona kabhi nahin rona (could not find this on youtube – maybe you can find it ? ..it has some memories for me)
Saiya choron ka bada sartaaj nikla (Do Aankhen Barah Haath)
Suhani raat dhal chuki (one of my Rafi favourites)
Abhi na jao chhod kar (definitely one of the best Rafi-Asha duets of all-time)
Jodi hamari jamega kaise jaani (total timepass)
Ye kaun chitrakar hai (one of my favourite Mukesh songs – what beautiful lyrics from Bharat Vyas, absolutely top-notch) – I could find the original picturisation on youtube some days back but cannot find it now ; maybe you find it somewhere)
Ye hawa ye raat ye chandni (Talat Mahmood from Sangdil) : The most unknown yet possibly one of the greatest music directors of all-time, Sajjad Hussain. His standards were
so high that he dismissed both Lata and Kishore as being below his standard !
Aane se uske aaye bahar (Jeene ki raah) : there are different versions of this song…they are all good…I find this song very uplifting.
jaate ho, jaane jaana (from Parvarish) (one of the best timepass songs of all-time, for lyrics alone…just too good !!!)
Hope you find them suitable to squeeze in somewhere.
I will think of more songs in the meantime. You know me.
My appetite for songs is like the Don’s was for runs.
September 14, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Certainly, Raja. Look for this blog in the coming days.
September 15, 2008 at 7:21 am
There you are, Raja. Four of your farmaishes find their way in today’s songs, including that difficult to find “rona kabhi nahin rona” .
September 15, 2008 at 7:55 am
Hi Atul, another farmaish from me.
Two songs from the film Barsaat Ki Raat
The fantastic classical song “Garjat Barsat Sawan aayo re” and the superb Qawwali – “Ishq Ishq”.
September 15, 2008 at 11:56 am
Shalini, I am unable to locate “garjat barsat ” link, but have no worry, you will have your farmaish for this song fulfilled soon. Consider “Ishq Ishq ” done tomorrow.
September 15, 2008 at 9:52 pm
OK, ye dil maange more :
- After listening to the Rafi-Asha classic “abhi na jaao”, here is farmaish for another Rafi-Asha beauty “Deewana mastana hua dil” from Bambai ka Babu.
- Hemant da’s “ya dil ki suno duniya waalon” (I know this is one of Shalini’s favourites too.
- another Hemant da song which I really love “tum pukaar lo, tumhara intezaar hai” (Khamoshi)
- moving to Lata (I have not been fair to her) how about “wo bhooli dastaan, lo phir yaad aa gayi” – what a beautiful song this is.
- and “tum na jaane kis jahan mein kho gaye”
- and again Lata with “jo humne dastaan apni sunayee, aap kyon roye” (no prizes for guessing the music director for this one)
- and the same MD and talking of dastaans, Rafi this time “aap ke pehloo mein aakar ro diye”
- let me throw a Kishore song also into the mix “teri duniya se hoke majboor chala”
Just realised my farmaishes are all sad / serious songs…so how about a change with :
- O meri, o meri, o meri sharmilee
- akele akele kahan ja rahe ho
- aaja sanam madhur chandni mein hum tum
Rounding it off with a bhajan
“sukh ke sab saathi” from Gopi.
Atul, if I have gone Bradmanesque in my farmaishes, don’t get psyched please
Just putting them out there….if you can, and totally at your convenience, please see if you can accommodate them. No hurry at all. I am sure you have your own preference of songs also, plus other farmaishes. So please take your time…if I find even one of my farmaishes every few days, I will be thankful.
September 15, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I don’t believe this…the first time I gave a farmaish of 12 songs….this time, without counting at first, I find it is another farmaish of 12….almost like a cricket match (with 12th man included)
October 13, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Fun blog for a lot of songs I’ve never heard in my life and a whole bunch of others I enjoy listening to.
Thanks Atul!
October 17, 2008 at 2:51 am

October 31, 2008 at 10:05 pm
A few more farmaishes from me, Atul.
-Oye chali chali kaisi hawa yeh chali (Bluffmaster)
- Husn chala kuchh aisi chaal (Bluffmaster)
- Ni main yaar manaana ni (Daag) – Unfortunately I can only find the remix version on youtube now, maybe you can find the original.
Thanks.
October 31, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I managed to find “Ni main yaar” – searched on “Daag ni main”.
Not the best of video quality but still definitely worth watching and listening. Please consider posting this sometime.
October 31, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Some more….I know I am flooding you with farmaishes but feel free to consider them totally at your convenience…
- tum ko piya dil diya (Shikari) (This will count in one of my top-10 ALLTIME favourite songs of ALL music composers) My tribute to GS Kohli.
- hansta hua noorani chehra (have you already done this ?)
- le de saiyan odhni punjabi (Pavitra Paapi) – nice song.
November 1, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Hi Atul….I am going to keep sending farmaishes your way…Please look at them at your convenience…and, if you feel like, include them….totally upto you of course…
How about
- nainon mein darpan hai (Aarop) – lovely “cycle” song
- aao tumhen main pyar (Upasna)
- Darpan ko dekha (Upasna) – I think you already put this up ?
- hey maine kasam li (Tere Mere Sapne) another “cycle” song
- jeevan ki bagiya (Tere Mere Sapne) – maybe you can have a category “expectant parents” (Sharmilee, Anand Ashram)
- jaise Radha ne mala japi (Tere Mere Sapne)
- do panchhi do tinke (Tapasya) – you already put this up ?
- aasmaan ke neeche (Jewel Thief)
- main to chala jidhar chale rasta (Dharkan)
Thanks.
November 1, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Atul…I just learnt that using the “tags” I can quickly analyse all the songs you have posted till now..stupid me…I should have known this earlier.
Just saw that you have already posted “darpan ko dekha”.
Fine.
Btw, congrats again on getting to 200 songs. What an achievement !!! Like you say, it is a labour of love for you. You have put so much energy into this, it is amazing.
Am sure it will go from strength to strength.
I will not be surprised if it becomes the site of choice for many Indian music lovers to get their video, lyrics, some stats (year, MD, singer etc) and a nice background about the movie and the song.
Hope I am not bothering you with my farmaishes. Of course I can listen to them separately on youtube but there is something nice about finding them on your blog, especially reading the intro. Of course, you should also like the song. I would not want you to post a song which you yourself do not like much. Remember, it is YOUR blog.
November 1, 2008 at 5:10 pm
And I keep coming up with more
Manna Dey please…
- Lapak jhapak (Boot Polish) – what a fantastic song, in every sense)
- Laaga chunri mein daag (Dil hi to hai)
- Jhanak jhanak tori baaje paayaliya (Mere Huzoor)
November 1, 2008 at 5:22 pm
I am almost not able to muster the courage to throw in another farmaish – throwing one quickly in there and disappearing for the rest of the day
Manna Dey – Naache man mora
November 4, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Naache man mora is sung by Rafi, and not Manna Dey, unless there is another song with this lyrics sung by Manna Dey.
November 5, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Sorry, my mistake. Of course it is Rafi.
I hope you are singing
Rafi ho ya Manna Dey ho
Aakhir post karna hai
Post karna hai
Post karna hai
November 12, 2008 at 12:37 am
Atul, a few more songs if you do not mind.
Itni haseen itni jawan raat kya karen (Aaj Aur Kal)
Mera pyar bhi tu hai (Saathi)
Chala jaata hoon kisi ke dhun mein (Mere Jeevan Saathi)
Dilbar jaani (Haathi Mere Saathi)

Raja, kya mausam hai ( Doosra Aadmi) is already posted.
http://atulsongaday.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/kya-mausam-hai/
Tauba ye matwali chal (Pathar ke sanam) is already posted too. 
http://atulsongaday.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/tauba-ye-matwaali-chal/
November 12, 2008 at 7:15 pm
oh, ok…is there a quick way of seeing, alphabetically, all the songs posted so far ? There probably is but I am not smart enough to figure it out. I tried the tags but that is just a selection.
Anyway, since my previous farmaish has 2 null cases, I can come up with 2 more.
November 13, 2008 at 1:44 am
On the right hand top corner, there is search box. If you type the first few words of the song, there is good chance that the song, if posted will appear in the search.
Below the search box, there are three tabs (top posts, latest comments, and tags). By default, top posts is selected. Click tags.You will see popular tags. If you click say Mukesh, you can see all the Mukesh songs in the blog.
I will see if an alphabetical list of songs can also be provided somewhere.
November 13, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Some more farmaishes, Atul. I am getting greedier by the day.
It is a long list…as usual, please pick whichever you feel like and that too at your convenience of course. Aaraam se….

2)Har dil jo pyaar karega (Sangam)
3)O mere sanam (Sangam)
4) Aanchal mein saja lena kaliyan (Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon)
5) O mere shah-e khooba (Love in Tokyo)
6) Aankhon se jo utri hai dil mein (Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon)
7) Jis ke liye (Saajan ki saheli)
8) ye hawa ye raat ye chandni (Sangdil) – my favourite Talat song (lovely lyrics too)
and its “twin” song
9) tujhe kya sunaoon main dilruba (Aakhi Daao) – Nutan looks sooooooooooooooo beautiful in this song
10) Nutan in “nigaahen milaney” (Dil Hi To Hai) – remember !!!
11) Deewana Mastana hua dil (Bambai ka babu)
12) Hum chhod chale hain mehfil ko (Jeevan Saathi)
13) Itni naazuk na bano (Vaasna)
14) Ponch kar ashq (Naya Rasta)

18) Jab chali thandi hawa (Do Badan) – what a beautiful voice Asha has.
That’s it for now.
I hope you also like these songs. You have to post songs that YOU like…this is your blog.
November 16, 2008 at 12:49 pm
A few more, Atul. For a change, female voice.

Mera dil ab tera o sajna – same movie (lovely song)
Hum intezar karenge – Bahu Begum (evergreen song)

November 23, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Atul, a couple of farmaishes if you don’t mind.
2 songs which I like very much – similar in theme. Heroine’s friends teasing her. What innocent times those were.
- akhiyan bhool gayi hain sona (Goonj Uthi Shehnai). One of my all-time favourite songs.
- jaanu jaanu re (Insaan Jaag Utha). Beautiful song.
November 29, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Hi Atul, what a great blog this is. Am going to make it a regular stopping place (and translations will make it even better!!!!!) I look forward to greatly expanding my Hindi filmi music knowledge and song library!
November 29, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I am honoured by your visits, Greta. As you can see, I had provided translations in the beginning, before I stopped doing that. I will now start to provide translations for my earlier songs too, starting with Shammi Kapoor songs.
November 29, 2008 at 4:43 pm
The translations must be a lot of work, it’s not easy to do I know. Take your time (but do start with Shammi!!!) . As I said somewhere, I am even just happy to have transliterated Hindi lyrics that I can sing along to.
November 29, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Translation is hard work, and that is why I stopped doing that because I thought my readers did not need that.
But I have realised by now it that there are readers who need the translations, and decent translations are not available. So I will be filling that gap if I take up such translation.
November 29, 2008 at 5:45 pm
I have to leave now on some work. I will be back tomorrow, hopefully by this time. So bye for now, and take care.
December 2, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Thanks to Memsaab, here I am! What a wonderful site!
Some of my fav songs have already been requested by Rajawaminathan!
My farmaish: from Barsaat ki Raat, if you can, I’ve had no luck:
“Mayus toh hun waade se tere, Kuchh aas bhi hai aur aas nahin”
December 3, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Thanks for your kind remarks, gilga. Keep visiting this blog. The song of your farmaish will appear in the blog soon.
December 6, 2008 at 12:18 am
Hi Atul,
I am back…as you can see from your comments overload.
Just realised that there is another Shammi fan here.
And a massive one at that !!!
Great…
Here are some Shammi requests from me, Atul.
- husn chala kuchh aisi chaal (Bluffmaster). Already requested this but no success. You don’t like it ? If you like, I will even do the English translation for you. Actually, I just found a youtube video which has the English transliteration already.
- dheere chal dheere chal (Boy Friend) : Shammi is in his element here…and Madhubala’s smile is to kill for…the song is really catchy…I just love it.
- na rutho na rutho (Jawan Mohabbat)
- main chali main chali (Professor) (I find a youtube posting already with transliteration)
- khuli palak mein (Professor)
That’s a start….
Hey, if you would like any help with transliteration, I would be glad to help. It is a lot of work for one person. I can take up one song at a time and e-mail it to you…you edit it as you like and put it up here. Just let me know, ok ?
I may not be very good or fast at it but every song done is one more “completed” song.
-
December 6, 2008 at 2:40 am
Great to see you back, Raja. Like you and me, Greta (Memsaab) is a great fan of bollywood and she has watched over 700 Bollywood movies in last 5 years when she started watching these movies.
Unlike us, she is of non Indian background. She is an American, but she by now has become an expert Bollywood movie reviewer, despite being unfamiliar with the language. Visit her site memsaabstory.wordpress.com and see for yourself. You will be stunned !
Greta, meet Raja, an Indian fan based in Holland,who is just as much interested in Bollywood as me, perhaps more.
Raja, thanks for your offer in transliteration. I think transliteration is no problem for me at the moment. It is in translation of the songs where you can certainly help, at your own pace of course.
December 6, 2008 at 8:53 am
yes, that is what I meant…I just got confused between transliteration and translation.
Like you said, I think the essence of the song makes more sense than just a verbatim translation. I will start with your backlog of Shammi songs.
December 6, 2008 at 8:57 am
One small comment, Atul.
I see that comments are not allowed for “door door tum rahe” ? Any particular reason ?
I just wanted to say that this song brought back a lot of memories. And this is Simi’s attempt to seduce Vishal – not in the capacity of the heroine (she is not the heroine of the movie, Nazneen is). Simi has a role similar to Glenn Close in that movie of the late 80s where she is obsessed with the hero and wants to have him at any cost. Simi sees signs of the man she loved in Vishal and therefore this obsession.
December 7, 2008 at 9:06 am
The comment got disallowed accidentally.Now I have allowed it.
December 13, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Atul, you are doind such wonderful work which is no less than tribute to those who created this wealth. They are immortal but you are making them lifetime beyond centuries. Keep it up buddy. I hope this the best way we can value their work.
December 14, 2008 at 1:37 am
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words, Devendra.
December 14, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I am not sure what brought me to your blog; what I am sure is that I have enjoyed your posts. Keep up the good work.
December 14, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Thanks for your encouragement. Hopefully I will be able to sustain this labour of love for as long as possible.
December 15, 2008 at 1:47 am
I just found out that this is the place to make farmaishes! I love your site and visit it daily to find out which ones of my favorites have made their way there.
Here are my farmaishes: (mostly Rafi)
Mili khaaq mein mohabbat – Chaudhvin ka chand
Daaman mein daag laga baithe – Dhool ka phool
Chahunga mein tujhe saanjh savere – Dosti
Pyar par bas to nahin hai -sone ki chidiya
December 15, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Atul, here are a few more farmaishes from me for your consideration :
- Aasmaan pe hai khuda (phir subah hogi)
- Wo subah kabhi to aayegi (phir subah hogi)
- Mera pyar bhi tu hai (Saathi) – happy or sad version
- Mere jeevan saathi (Saathi)
- Ye kaun aaya (Saathi)
- chale they saath mil kar (Haseena Maan Jaayegi) – Rafi version please
- tum kitni khoobsoorat ho (Jungle Mein Mangal)
- Wo hain zara khafa khafa (Shagird)
- Rangat teri surat ki (Tumse Achha Kaun Hai)
- Is rang badalti duniya mein (Raj kumar)
- koi pyar hamen bhi karta hai , a.k.a mohabbat ke khuda(Brahmachari) – I just love this song
- dil ke jharoke mein (Brahmachari) – fantastic lyrics
Thanks.
December 16, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I have a few more farmaishes to add. You can call these the hide-and-seek variety.
1. Oh chhupne wale saamne aa – Rafi (Tumsa Nahin Dekha)
2. Zara saamne to aaja chhaliye – Rafi
3. Chhup gaya koi re door se pukarke – Lata?
4. Tu chhupi hai kahan main tadapta yahan – Manna De (Navrang)
Thanks for all your efforts.
December 19, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Here are a couple more Shammi songs.
1. “Main gaoon tum so jao…” from Brahmachari
2. “Aawaz deke hamen tum bulao …” from Professor
3. “Akele akele kahan ja rahe ho …” from An Evening in Paris, and the unforgettable “Yahooo, chahe koi mujhe …” from Junglee.
Somehow Shammi Kapoor got the best songs, always, regardless of who the music director was, and they were always top performers in Binaca Geet Mala.
Keep up the good work. I love this site.
December 19, 2008 at 2:35 pm
“Akele akele kahan jaa rahe ho” is already posted on 16 october. Other songs are very much in the pipeline.
December 19, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I hope I am not bothering you, but I do have a farmaish for a mother song:
Uske nahin dekha hamne kabhi par uski zaroorat kya hogi …
I think it was from a movie called Daadi maa, I could be mistaken though. I think it is sung by Rafi and someone else, maybe Mahendra Kapoor.
Yes, I also realized that “Akele akele kahan …” has already been posted. Thanks for the great job you are doing.
December 20, 2008 at 1:08 am
The song “usko nahin dekha hamne” is indeed from “Daadi maa”.
December 23, 2008 at 12:15 am
Atul,
Some more farmaishes from me.
(I will keep coming up with them, feel free to put them in (or not) – entirely at your convenience.

Hi Atul,
I was searching for something and came across this awesome site – what a wonderful collection of songs. I did not know there were people blogging about good old Hindi songs.
I am attempting to understand these genuine artists better by looking at different criteria. I would like to get your input. I wouldn’t talk about songs in the same vein and at the same frequency as you ; but maybe talk about songs as I practice them and look forward to exchanging views.
Thank you for providing such an excellent service.
Look forward to your visit at

Dear Atul,
I visited your site for the first time today and already I feel I will be a regular visitor. I’m trying to catalog some music that I have and I find this site extremely useful.
All the best.
regards
Manish
December 25, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Thanks for your comments, Manish. Here is hoping that you will regularly offer your views and remarks too.
December 29, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Hi Atul,
while trying to figure out how wordpress works, I came across your page. Wow! So much work and dedication you put in finding all these songs and lyrics.
I have a song request! If I may. I was looking for a video of this song, but couldn’t find it. The Title is: ‘O mere hamrahi kyun tera mann ghabraye’, by Mukesh.
I hope you will find it and reply me with an answer.
Greetings from Amsterdam…

I will try to find this song (I already tried), but I am stumped at the name of the movie. “The right and the wrong” is supposed to be the name of this movie. I am sure the actual title in Hindi is different. Unless I can get the real title, searching about the song is difficult.
December 30, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Hi,
I think the English title is the real title. I found a vocal. Maybe it will help you find more about the movie.
This is a link about the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066299/
More details:http://www.belizefilmfestival.com/presentations.htm
The name Rohit Jagessar is mentioned in this link. He has made a movie and is to be found via: http://www.rbcradio.com/guiana1838.html
You can reach me at http://ushamarhe.wordpress.com or send me an e-mail I look forward to any news about the search.

Hi Atul,
A very Happy New Year to you! and thanks for your excellent work on this blog with the superb song selections. A song for every mood!
You cannot possibly have a Piano Songs category without Pyar Diwaana Hota Hai Mastana Hota Hai by Kishore Kumar. Dont you remember Rajesh Khanna with all his head-tilting and hand-raising gestures? If you can post this song, that would be great.
thanks
January 1, 2009 at 12:14 pm

Atul,
I know I am bombarding you with farmaishes but I have no intention of putting any pressure on you. I just drop the farmaishes here – and leave it completely to you to choose, if and when you want to, to take them up. It is YOUR blog, so feel free to handle each request on your own terms.
Here goes :

Arrey Sanjay bhai, where were you all these days ? The more appropriate song for the occasion is “kab ke bicchde huye ham aaj yahan aa ke mile ” (Laawaaris).
January 9, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Arey Sanjay bhai, itney dinon baad…sab khairiyat to hai…jahan tak farmaish ka sawaal hai. bas….wo kali kali hi kya jispe bhanwra na mandraaye…shama to jalti hi isliye hai ki uspe parwaana baar baar mitey…bas, bandey ki kuchh aisi hi haalat samjhiye…roz yahan aatey hain…chand nagmaon ko jee bhar ke sun letey hain….aur dil khush ho jaata hai…in gaanon ke farmaish ka silsila, inshallah, chalta rahega…aur Atul bhai aise hi hum par karam karte rahenge…bas yahi dua hai…

Some more songs, Atul.

January 13, 2009 at 11:25 pm
And I can’t help myself, Atul. What a maestro Roshan was….Listen to these gems…all from just one movie. How can so much magic be packed into ONE movie ? The guy was very very special. And I think very under-rated. This is all from “Aarti” (very nice story also – famous combo of Meena K, Pradeep K, Ashok K and Roshan saab’s music)
- Aap ne yaad dilaaya to mujhe yaad aaya
- Ab kya misaal doon
- Baar baar tohe kya samjhaaye
- Kabhi to milegi

I have been meaning to post these farmaishes for some time now, but somehow I just listen to the songs daily and forget all about the farmaishes because the songs transport me to another world and another time and everything else gets forgotten!
These are songs from the movie Anubhav:
1. Phir kahin koi phool khila … by Manna Dey
2. Meri jaan mujhe jaan na kaho … by Geeta Dutt
3. Koi chupke se aake … by Geeta Dutt
I think Geeta Dutt passed away around that time, so these may well be her last songs, and I just vaguely remember the songs, but they were all her usual quality – smooth, soft and lilting.
Thanks, Atul.
January 23, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I just love this site! Too bad I have to work and can’t spend the day on it. I will be back. I’ve added you to my blogroll and look forward to seeing more of your great work here. I really appreciate your efforts! All the best!
January 30, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Atul mian,
Jhumri Tilaiyya se asalam aleikum.
Aap ye na samjhen ki itne din ho gaye aur humne aapke blog ke is zarre ki taraf tavajju hi nahin kiya.
Chaliye, muddatton baad sahi, pesh-e-khidmat hai hamare is chhote se gaon se phir se chand farmaishen.
Kuchh mili-juli nagmon ka guldasta hai, kahin jawaan josh ka leher to kahin zehen ko chhoo lene waali mayoosi.
Jawaan josh ka zikr kahin ho to film Umang se behtar iski numaish milni mushquil hai. Is film ko dekhna ka mauka mujhe bachpan mein mila aur tab ki kuchh yaadein ab bhi inse judi hui hain.
Inke alaawa kuchh mayoosi ke gaanon ka bhi yahan farmaish karne ki jurrat kar raha hoon. Iraada to logon ko mayoos karne ka nahin hain, bairhaal inko bhi aapke blog ke kaabil samajh ke pesh kar raha hoon. In mein dard ka kucch alag hi ehsaas hai.
Aur in mein ek aisa bhi nagma hai jisko agar “nagma-e-dard ka baadshah” ka khitaab diya jaaye to beshaque galat nahin hoga.
Ummeed karta hoon ki aap apne blog mein inhen shaamil karenge… bahut meherbaani hogi…
Aadaab, Raja
1) Sacha pyar ye jhuk nahin sakta (Umang)
2) Pyar pe koi bas to nahin hai (Umang)
3) Hum log hain aise deewane (Umang)
4) Babul kaun ghadi (Umang)
5) Jaane kya dhoondhi rehti hain (Shola Aur Shabnam)
6) Caravan guzar gaya (Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal) – „nagma-e-dard ka baadshah“
7) Aye dil mujhe aisi jagah le chal (Arzoo)
8) Mujhe raat din ye khayal hai (Umar Qaid)
9) Teri duniya mein dil (Banwre Nain)
10) Ye zindagi ke mele (Mela)
February 6, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Atul, I have one request. I saw this song donkey’s years ago in Chitrahaar. I don’t know from what movie, who are the actors, or singers.
The setting is a typical 50s club show, and the song goes
Tum ne kya dekha bhalaa
Agar na dekha Africa
Tanganika, Tanganika
Hope you can find it!
February 9, 2009 at 7:26 pm
HI Atul,
Yesterday I saw a movie called Patang. Normally I like Mala Sinha but she was insufferable in this movie. Anyway there were some pretty nice songs which I was hearing for the first time. Maybe you like them when you listen to them – in that case, maybe you choose to post them here.
- Ye duniya patang (Rafi saab)
- ye duniya badi luteri (Rafi saab)
rang dil ki dhadkan bhi laati to hogi (Lata)
February 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm
And Atul, after watching “kajra mohabbat waala” today, I could not resist putting a farmaish for another Shamshad-Asha classic, one of my favourites.
Sharma ke ye kyun sab parda nasheen (Chaudhvin Ka Chand)
THanks. Hope you don’t mind my farmaishes. Totally at your convenience, as usual.
February 9, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Atul, after listening to “bigdi banaanewaale” , I got into the mood for other songs of that period. Like
ankhiyan mila ke (Ratan)
- chup chup baithe ho zaroor koi baat hai (Badi bahen)
- chale jaana nahin (Badi bahen)
If and when you can, could you put these up too ? Classics from the 40s.

As promised, here is a translation.
Deewana mujh sa nahin
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow
From the time I have found my adversary worthy of love
From that time I have lost all track of route or destination
Like a person sleep-walking
Walking with eyes shut
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow
I have also left tomorrow’s matters for tomorrow
All you get in life is a few moments to talk
You get just a few moments of togetherness
What is the point in living alone
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
There is no one crazier than me under this sky
In front of me walks my killer, and I just follow
February 14, 2009 at 4:26 pm
and Another
Na rootho , rootho na
Don’t get upset, don’t get upset, my dear
At least this way, we get to know each other
I will get upset, I will get upset with you
You feign ignorance knowing fully well you have stolen my heart
If you get upset, everything will get upset
We will not have such beautiful surroundings or luck again
Why do you make a fuss of such a small thing
These are just secrets of the heart, treat them as such, my dear
Don’t get upset, don’t get upset, my dear
At least this way, we get to know each other
I will get upset, I will get upset with you
You feign ignorance knowing fully well you have stolen my heart
My complaint is that you kept your love for me a secret
You have no idea what the state of my heart is
Your ignoring me is killing me
With great difficulty I am handling my innocent heart
With great difficulty I am handling my innocent heart
Don’t get upset, don’t get upset, my dear
At least this way, we get to know each other
I will get upset, I will get upset with you
You feign ignorance knowing fully well you have stolen my heart
At least it is good the dilemma has blossomed into something colourful
There is sparkle of happiness in the eyes, and laughter on the lips
There is nothing wrong in a tiff that finally ends up in love
And a pledge to live together for ever
And a pledge to live together for ever
Don’t get upset, don’t get upset, my dear
At least this way, we get to know each other
I will get upset, I will get upset with you
You feign ignorance knowing fully well you have stolen my heart

Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
insaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Man’s intentions cannot be trusted
nikla na karo tum sajdhaj kar
You don’t go out there all decked up
imaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Even decency cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
insaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Man’s intentions cannot be trusted
nikla na karo tum sajdhaj kar
You don’t go out there all decked up
imaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Even decency cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
ye di hai bada hi deewana
This heart is quite crazy
cheda na karo iss paagal ko
Don’t play with this this mad heart
ye di hai bada hi deewana
This heart is quite crazy
cheda na karo iss paagal ko
Don’t play with this mad heart
tumse na shararat kar baithe
It may just tease you back
nadan ki neeyat theek nahin
Can’t quite trust this innoncent heart
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
insaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Man’s intentions cannot be trusted
nikla na karo tum sajdhaj kar
You don’t go out there all decked up
imaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Even decency cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
Kandhe se hataalo sar apna
Get that head off your shoulder
ye pyaar mohabbat rahne do
Let this love be
Kandhe se hataalo sar apna
Get this head off you shoulder
ye pyaar mohabbat rahne do
Let this love be
kashti ko sambhalo maujon se
Steer the boat from the waves
toofaan ki neeyat theek nahin
The storm cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
insaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Man’s intentions cannot be trusted
nikla na karo tum sajdhaj kar
You don’t go out there all decked up

Even decency cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
main kaise Khuda haafiz kah doon
How can I say goodbye
mujhko to kisi ka yakeen nahin
I just don’t trust anybody
main kaise Khuda haafiz kah doon
How can I say goodbye
mujhko to kisi ka yakeen nahin
I just don’t trust anybody
chup jaao hamari ankhon me
Hide yourself in my eyes
Bhagwan ki neeyat theek nahin
Even God cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me
In this world of changing colours
insaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Man’s intentions cannot be trusted
nikla na karo tum sajdhaj kar
You don’t go out there all decked up
imaan ki neeyat theek nahin
Even decency cannot be trusted
Iss rang badalti duniya me

February 14, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Thanks, Raja. I am sure quite a few people will be so thankful to you for your translations. i will include these translations in the relevant songs.
February 14, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Here are a couple of “Tora man …” farmaishes, Atul. I should probably have checked first to see if they have already been posted, but I don’t think I have seen them here. They are:
1. Tora manwa kyun ghabraye re … Geeta Dutt
2. Tora man darpan kehlaaye … Asha Bhonsle
3. Tora man bada paapi sanwariya re …Asha Bhonsle
I am not sure about the first song, but the second one is from Kaajal and the last one is from Gunga Jumna.
At the current rate of posting, I am sure you will hit your 1000th song before the end of March, and I am the one who hasn’t been able to sit and listen to each song slowly and enjoy them! Keep up the great work.
February 15, 2009 at 11:55 am
Another one…tumne mujhe dekha (Teesri Manzil) – feel free to correct.
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
O, somewhere in the procession of pain,
I would have been trudging along
In the hope and desire for these lips
I would have been quivering and burning
But your tresses (symbolic : glances) have become kind towards me
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
O, with this beauty and grace, you have gone far
Finally your footsteps found their way only to my heart
It is like all roads have now reached their end
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
February 15, 2009 at 12:13 pm
And one of my favourites..from Professor…khuli palak mein…
Hold on a bit, hold on a bit
Just listen to the call from my heart before you go
With one eye open you feign anger, with the other closed you show love
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
From the day I have seen you, you have felt like my own
And you have resided in my eyes
And you have resided in my eyes, as a much-loved dream
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
You have tried to hide your love – and failed
I have tried to show my love – and failed
By now the whole world knows about our condition
Now, having come this far, there is no point in going back
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
Don’t think this is due to me, what is achieved by making a big fuss
My heart just wanted to tell you something
My heart just wanted to tell you something, and having said it, I will leave
If you don’t believe me, just read it in my eyes
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
With one eye open you feign anger, with the other closed you show love
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
February 15, 2009 at 12:43 pm
OK, here is another one…another of my favourite songs…Dil ke jharoke mein (from Brahmachari)…
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
Tomorrow your beauty will be someone else’s
But there will still be flashes in my dreams
You will be married off in a palanquin of flowers
But the fragrance of those flowers will remain in my senses
Tomorrow your beauty will be someone else’s
But there will still be flashes in my dreams
You will be married off in a palanquin of flowers
But the fragrance of those flowers will remain in my senses
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
Even now the glasses of wine formed by your sharp lips
Are in my imagination as intoxicating
Even now the shadows formed by your beautiful tresses
Are my companion in the barren, scorching heat/sunshine
Even now the glasses of wine formed by your sharp lips
Are in my imagination as intoxicating
Even now the shadows formed by your beautiful tresses
Are my companion in the barren, scorching heat/sunshine
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
You may choose to reject my love
I have no complaint against you
There is and will always be a picture of you in my eyes
I will always worship you
You may choose to reject my love
I have no complaint against you
There is and will always be a picture of you in my eyes
I will always worship you
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
February 18, 2009 at 11:42 am
Atul,
you might enjoy these songs to see how beautifully Rafi, Asha or Lata sung in other languages. These were very popular also.
Rafi-Lata in this romantic number, film: Guddi
Lata’s emotional rendering of this “missing” someone song
Rafi-Asha giving this lively romantic number
or this gentler teasing from Posti, again Rafi-Asha
In fact, Asha was the main female playback singer in this film.
February 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Atul, here is another song “Badan Pe Sitaare” from Prince. Lovely song. Shammi in his element.
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
When I myself will not be there
Who will you look at bashfully
You will never look at a mirror again
You will worry yourself every day without me
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
There is some fun in getting all dressed up and decked up
Only when there is somebody to admire all this
Otherwise all this beauty is just like fading lamps
There needs to be some lover to die for you
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
The climax of my love for you
Is that I have referred to you as God in all my ecstasy
Let the world now judge
Whether I was wrong or right in calling you so
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace

And here is translation for “Baar baar dekho” from Chinatown.
Look at her, look at her again

For she is worth looking at, my beloved is
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Look at her, look at her again
Keep looking at her a thousand times

Yes Sir yes, there must be many young at heart here
Loads of hearts here
But no one quite like her
Yes Sir yes, there must be many young at heart here
Loads of hearts here
But no one quite like her
This incomparable beauty and exceptional style
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Look at her, look at her again
Keep looking at her a thousand times
For she is worth looking at, my beloved is
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Our hearts met, the desired stage was set
Friends, we reached our destination
Don’t ask me where it is
Our hearts met, the desired stage was set
Friends, we reached our destination
Don’t ask me where it is
This is the secret of my new-found love
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Look at her, look at her again
Keep looking at her a thousand times
For she is worth looking at, my beloved is
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Balle Balle, Where are you off to Mister
Why are you jealous of my love ?
Just sit down please
Balle Balle, Where are you off to Mister
Why are you jealous of my love ?
Just sit down please
Pray that you too get a sweetheart like mine
Tally Ho, Tally Ho
Look at her, look at her again
Keep looking at her a thousand times
For she is worth looking at, my beloved is
Tally Ho, Tally Ho

Another one …Oye chali chali kaisi hawa (Bluff Master)..
O what sort of wind is this blowing
O what sort of wind is this blowing
That the flower is now falling for the bee
That the flower is now falling for the bee
O is this now the fate of the flower
O is this now the fate of the flower
That even the bee has started looking attractive
That even the bee has started looking attractive
On their lips these people have denial
But it is clear that they actually love me
On their lips these people have denial
But it is clear that they actually love me
You cannot hide a blemish
It will only get more visible if you try to suppress it
And if this heart gets more excited
I know how to handle it
And if this heart gets more excited
I know how to handle it
For I know how to bring back on track somebody gone astray
O what sort of wind is this blowing
O what sort of wind is this blowing
That the flower is now falling for the bee
That the flower is now falling for the bee
O is this now the fate of the flower
O is this now the fate of the flower
That even the bee has started looking attractive
That even the bee has started looking attractive
You call this matter of love just a game
In which world do you live my lord
You call this matter of love just a game
In which world do you live my lord
The matter of love is something entirely different
The heart pounds wildly, there are tears in the eyes
O what do you think of me
I am not one to shed tears
O what do you think of me
I am not one to shed tears
I am one who falls in love
And then seeks happiness in that love
O what sort of wind is this blowing
O what sort of wind is this blowing
That the flower is now falling for the bee
That the flower is now falling for the bee
O is this now the fate of the flower
O is this now the fate of the flower
That even the bee has started looking attractive
That even the bee has started looking attractive
I have made you a killer
I have shown you the way to love
I have made you a killer
I have shown you the way to love
You are teaching me love
You are daring to look me in the eye
If love is indeed true
Then there is only silence on the lips
If love is indeed true
Then there is only silence on the lips
This is that flame
That burns away in silence
O what sort of wind is this blowing
O what sort of wind is this blowing
That the flower is now falling for the bee
That the flower is now falling for the bee
O is this now the fate of the flower
O is this now the fate of the flower
That even the bee has started looking attractive
That even the bee has started looking attractive

And here is “Subhan Allah, haseen chehra” from Kashmir Ki Kali (I posted this by mistake as a comment in the song itself ).
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
This bewitching style
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
When I set eyes on you, my heart said
When I set eyes on you, my heart said
That I should only bless you
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
I wonder in whose fortune is this moon-like face bestowed
I wonder in whose home a piece of this moon will shine
I wonder in whose home a piece of this moon will shine
If I am permitted, may I also
If I am permitted, may I also
Chance my luck
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
This bewitching style
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
This world looks at you with a lot of expectation
Everybody wants to narrate his tale to you
Everybody wants to narrate his tale to you
There is a heart(mood)
There is an atmosphere
Wherever you go
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
Glorious is the Lord, such a beautiful face
This bewitching style
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
When I set eyes on you, my heart said
When I set eyes on you, my heart said
That I should only bless you
May the Lord protect you from every evil, from every evil
February 21, 2009 at 9:28 am
Thanks, Raja. I am sure many Shammi Kapoor fans will be eternally thankful for your translations. I do not think such high quality translations of these songs are available anywhere else.
February 25, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Atul,
I heard in a Lata interview that her first Hindi film song was a duet with Kishore Kumar in a film called Majboor by Khemchand Prakash something like ek? angrezi chhora chala gaya.
Have you ever come across this?
would love to hear this one!
February 25, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I have read about that. But I have yet to come across this song.
February 27, 2009 at 12:22 pm
I may not be able to post too many new songs in the first week of March 2009. So it is good news for those who complained that I post far too many songs for them to catch up.
But who knows, I may still be able to post atleast a few songs during this lean period. I just thought I should keep the readers informed.
March 1, 2009 at 4:59 am
As mentioned earlier, I am away for one week. So bear with me for that time, in case you find the lyrics of the songs not full and accurate.
March 7, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I have a few more farmaishes, Atul. I noticed that Mughal-e-azam had some great songs, and I found only the iconic Pyar kiya to darna kya here. Here are some of my favorites:
Mohe panghat pe … by Lata
Mohabbat ki jhooti kahani pe … by Lata
Jab raat hai aisi matwaali … Lata and Shamshad?
Khuda nigahbaan ho tumhaara … Lata again, and
Ae mohabbat zindabad … by Rafi
Thanks, Atul.
March 8, 2009 at 3:06 am
Okay, I know you are not there now, but I was remembering some old Talat songs that I would love to hear again, so here they are:
Bechain nazar betaab jigar …
Main dil hoon ek armaan bhara …
raat ne kya kya khwab dikhaye …
maine chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki hai ….
aankhon mein masti sharab ki …
ashkon mein jo paaya hai …
Teri chamakti ankhon ke aage yeh sitaare kuch bhi nahin … talat and lata
Gham ki andheri raat mein … talat and rafi
I think I had asked for the song “Pyar par bas to nahin hai …” earlier, from Sone ki Chidiya, in which Talat himself has acted, possibly as a hero.
Thanks for somehow finding all these oldies.
March 9, 2009 at 2:08 am
Here are a few more Geeta Dutt favorites of mine:
Mujhko tum jo mile … G D and Hemant
Maane na maane naa
Aaj sajan mohe ang laga le
Yaad karoge yaad karoge ek din humko yaad karoge
and some songs from the movie Mamta
Vikal mora manwa
chhupa lo yun dil mein
in baharon mein akele na phiro
chahe to mora jiya leile sanwariya
and the hits, rahen na rahen hum (this may already have been posted, I haven’t checked) and rehte the kabhi jinke dil mein
I am trying to keep you from getting bored when you get back, Atul saab!
March 9, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Hey, I liked your song postings everyday. You and your readers might like this video that a friend sent me. It’s a Bollywood version of an iTunes spot. Keep up the good work sharing music with everyone!
– Kiran
March 11, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Just another farmaish to keep you busy, Atul! This is a song by Manna Dey – Kisne chilman se maara nazaara mujhe. I just found out that it is from the movie Baat ek raat ki, which seems to have some more nice songs, other than the usual Na tum hamen jano.
Thanks.
March 14, 2009 at 7:01 am
I don’t know if you have done this already but can you do these two sonf
“Chupoke se mile pyaase pyaase” Its a dev anand song
“Kuch dil ne kaha…kuch bhi nahi” its from Anupama picturised on Dharmendra.
btw i am getting my whole family addicted to this blog including my grandfather. And yes….I am only 16
March 14, 2009 at 8:14 am
Kuch dil ne kaha has been posted in the past. Let me search for the Dev Anand song. Any idea which movie it is from ? Wait, I got it, it is from “Manzil”.
Your entire family getting addicted to this blog ? Thank you, thank you. It is just the kind of support and encouragement that I would make me keep going on adding more and more songs.
March 25, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Okay, just to keep you busy, Atul, here is another farmaish from me. This is an old favorite of mine:
Jaa tose nahin bolun kanhaiya … Lata and Manna Dey
I haven’t checked on the movie, but it is based on Raag Hamsadhwani, and it is a beauty of a song.
March 28, 2009 at 11:10 am
Atul,
Some afarmaishes from me after a long time.
Songs from my very young days (they are in my sub-conscious)
- Na sun sun sun bura (Priya)
Pretty pretty Priya (Priya)
Ruby o Rruby (Chaahat)
Aaye baithe khaaye piye khiske (Ek Shriman Ek Shrimati)
I don’t claim that these are very good songs but I remember them fondly from that time.
March 28, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Can I get your direct e-mail address, because the blog name is not easy to remember. I have sent the query to Radio SLBC for the song “Din hai suhana…”. Hopefully I will get the response. Now a days Ms. Padmini Pareira And Ms. Jyoti Parmar are anchoring the morning transmission between 5.50 AM and 8.30 AM.
I again request to listen the song on April 1, 2009 at 7.30 AM.
I am sending emails frequently to Radio SLBC so that the station can be kept alive & ask my friends to do the same. Through your blog I request all the like minded people to do the same.
The person incharge of website and his email address is:

March 28, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Hi Atul
What a pleasant surprise to chance upon this site, while googling for ‘Khizaan Ke phool’.
I have been collecting Old Hindi Film Songs MP3, and tagging them for my personal use.
But your work is really great.
Keep it up.
Girish
March 28, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Mr Sharma, I have mentioned my e mail id at the top of this page.
It is squarecut.atul@gmail.com
March 28, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Mr Girish Bhatnagar, nice to read your comments. Like you, I too am collecting old Hindi movie songs and sharing them through this blog. I hope to read more from you in this connection, seeing that you are also doing the same.
March 29, 2009 at 5:38 am
Dear Atul
I am searching for a song probably sung by Raj Kumari (I may be wrong) “Chhota Sa Balma More Aangna Maan Gilli Khele”.
Another one composed by “Sajjad” Dil Mein Sama Gaye Sajan” Sung by Lata & Male Voice is probably of Talat.
Please help if you have them.
Have you heard “Geetmala Ki Chhaon Mein” recently launched by “Shri Ameen Sayani”.
Ashwani Sharma
March 29, 2009 at 9:09 am
I will look for these songs. The second song under Sajaad’s music direction is from ‘sangdil” and it is indeed sung by Lata and Talat Mahmood. Let me locate its audio or video.
March 29, 2009 at 9:21 am
Second song is from “Sangdil”.
First one I donot know. I heard this one in Ameen Sayani’s Program “Sangeet Ke Sitaron Ki Mehfil” which was being aired on Red FM 98.3MHz about two years back.
March 30, 2009 at 10:43 am
The song “Chhota Sa Balma Mora Angna Ma Gilli Khele” is probably from Film “Shehnai” released in 1947. MD is C. Ramchandra.
March 30, 2009 at 11:39 am
I have managed to locate the “sangdil” song and I will post it soon. The other song is proving far too elusive.
March 31, 2009 at 9:06 am
Dear Atul
I give you another job. The song from Film “Prince” Starring “Shammi Kapoor” “Madhosh Hawa Matwali Fiza Sansar Suhana Lagta Hai”.
Hope you remeber my request. Tomorrow is “Din Hai Suhana”. Do listen at Radio Ceylon.
April 1, 2009 at 11:34 am
Now I recalled another song from Movie: SHADI (1961) Music Director: Chitragupta, KHEMCHAND PRAKASH sung by “Mohd. Rafi” – “Tere Pujan Ko Bhagwan Banaoon Bank”.
Please try if available somewhere.
April 1, 2009 at 3:12 pm
One more Farmayish please. The song is infrequently played on FM Gold (AIR) 106.4 MHz Delhi.
“Chhoti si kahani se Baarishon Key Pani se Saari Waadi Bhar Gayee
Na Jaane Kyon Dil Bhar Gaya Na Jaane Kyon Aankh Bhar Gayee”
Sung By “Asha Bhosle”. Film “Izzazat” Lyricist – “Gulzar”
April 2, 2009 at 12:42 am
Atul, here are a few more of my favorite duets:
Chand jaane kahan kho gaya … Rafi and lata in Main chup rahungi
Tum to pyar ho sajna … Rafi and Lata in Sehra
Tumhen paake humne jahan paa liyaa hai … Rafi and Lata in Gehra Daag
Jhukti ghata gaati hawa sapnen jagaaye … Asha and Mahendra Kapoor in Dhool ka Phool
Bheegi chandni chhaayi bekhudi … Manna Dey and Lata in Suhagan
Thanks, Atul
April 2, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Atul, a few more farmaishes from me
Yeh khamoshiyan yeh tanhaiyaan (I think I requested this earlier, am not sure it is posted. Even with the tags, I find it difficult to search for a paticualr song…just stupid me !). Anyway this song is from “Yeh Raaste Hain Pyar Ke” (with Sunil Dutt and the beautiful Leela Naidu).
And songs of Anuradha (music composed by Ravi Shankar). Every song of this movie is really nice to listen to.
Thanks.
April 3, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Now I have two versions of same song for you.
“Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan”
By “Rafi Saheb” and “Kishore Da”
Thanks with profound regards
April 4, 2009 at 1:32 am
I was looking for this song, Jo dhaye phal paaye sukh laaye tero naam … by Lata, but it doesn’t look like it is here. I think it is from Hum Dono, but I could be wrong. So if it hasn’t already been uploaded, I guess this is my farmaish.
Thanks, Atul.
April 4, 2009 at 6:41 am
Two Songs from the film “Hum Dono” in the name of God are
1. Jo Dhyaye Phak Paye Sukh Laye Tero Naam
2. Allah Tero Naam Ishwar Tero Naam
Ms. Lalitha your guess is correct. I endorse your farmayish too.
April 4, 2009 at 7:24 am
I could not find “Muttu Kodi Kawadi Hadaa” under “Fun Time Pass” category.
Please upload if it has not been donw yet.
April 4, 2009 at 7:43 am
Dear Atul
We belong to Punjab and have a true faith in Maa Vaishno Devi.
I request you to put some original videos of Shri Narender Chanchal and Shri Sardool Sikander under devotional category.
Today is our weekly off therefore I have gone through the whole blog.
With this I am shutting down my PC with full praise for your efforts.
April 4, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Mr. Raja, You are great. After going through your comments I cannot make out whether you belong to South India. Your vocabulary (or Glossary) of songs is marvellous. Your comments for “Tumhari Nazar Kyon Khafa Ho Gai”reminded me of one more famous song from “Night in London”.
“Nazar Na Lag Jaye” Sung by “Mohd. Rafi”.
Now it is your turn Mr. Atul (my farmayish) to put it ASAP.
The song was also the favourite of Milan Singh (Lady Singer) usually singing “Rafi Saheb’s” songs.
April 4, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Dear Atul
The song from “Do Kaliyan” reminded me of my childhood. At that time we were in Lucknow. I was just 8-9 years old. The mode of advertisement was a rickshaw coming with large banners of Film posted over it.
We used to run after the rickshaw to had handouts etc. of the film. Sometimes these were air-dropped.
The most favourite song of that time, also played by the advertisers, was “Bachche Mann Key Sachche”. At that time I did not know the name of Neetu Singh. I knew it only when she became heroine.
The song, as goes on, following lines are touching one’s heart:
“Bachche Baron Se Behtar Hain …..”
I think I must view the video ASAP on your blog.
April 4, 2009 at 1:12 pm
You are very right that movies playing on movie halls those days were advertised on rickshaw and leaflets were thrown for kids to catch.
I think I have mentioned it on one of my posts here.
April 4, 2009 at 1:14 pm
And yes, Raja, my good internet friend is a South Indian but brought up in Eastern parts of India, and he shares the same passion for Bollywood movie songs as you and I.
April 5, 2009 at 6:50 am
That is true. Lived my early life in Eastern India.
That song from Night in London (“nazar na lag jaaye”) is very good. I remember seeing this movie as a young boy. It was around the same time as “Evening in Paris” (I don’t want to compare Shammi and Biswajeet ).
THere was a good Helen song in the movie – “mera naam hai jameela”.
ANother song I remember from my early days is Sharada’s “titli udi, ud jo chali” from Suraj. Could you post that one too please, Atul ? For old times’ sake.
Thanks.
April 5, 2009 at 7:24 am
Atul, here are a few “timeless classics” farmaishes from me. Not obscurer songs like I sometimes come up with. Mainly Lata-centered, this time. You may have posted some of them already, but in case you havce not.
- mera dil ye pukaare aa ja (Nagin) : one of my Lata favourites
- Jaadugar saiyaaan (Nagin)
- terri jaad mein jalkar dekh liya (Nagin)
- tere dwaar khada ek jogi (Nagin) – Hemant Kumar
- ghar aaya mera pardesi (Awaara)
- aa jaao tadapte hain armaan (Awaara) – what a beautiful song
- jabse balam ghar aaye (Awaara)
- dhoondo dhoondo re sajna (Ganga Jamuna)
- do hanson ka joda (Ganga Jamuna) (maybe already posted ?)
- O chaliya re chaliya re man mein hamaar (Ganga Jamuna) – Lata/Rafi
April 5, 2009 at 8:48 am
Mr. Raja; you have posted a lot of translations of hindi songs. May I request you (if you understand Tamil) to post the Tamil version of Lyrics from the film “Kottai Marriaman”.
The music of song is really wonderful. I have a glimpse of Tamil version “Sri Rang Nather Ni Tangchchee Amman, Andman ni purver Mirachi Amman, Kanchi Kamakshi Amma” (Please forgive me for misspelt words). I downloaded the video from web.
Moreover, again you reminded of Sharda. Her songs from “Suraj” one mentioned by you and another “Dekho Mera Dil Machal Gaya” are really classics.
Her songs in “Arround the World”,
1. Chale Jana Jara Thehro
2. Jane Bhi De-e-Sanam Mujhe
3. Kauwa Chale Hansh Ki Chal
4. Yeh Munh Aur Masoor Ki Daal (Duet with another Female singer)
are entertaining.
Mr. Atul, Please post them if they are not posted.
I think I have made a volley of farmyish(es). But after going through the standard of your blog I cannot resist myself.
Once again for Mr. Raja a request. Do you have any idea of songs sung by Lata in Tamil. Your Lata-Centered request remided me this.
April 5, 2009 at 9:18 am
May I take liberty to tell you about myself.
I had been a fan of Dharmendra & Hema Malini and did not have interest in watching movies. Though collecting songs of all ages is my hobby. TV is only to watch Cricket, for me. Listening Radio (especially Ceylon) and FM Gold, Delhi is my passion. Basically I am Electronics Engineer but at present I am working as Software Developer and Trainer in a Govt. Department and used to travel the whole Southern India, Maharashtra, Northern India in connection with training programs. Another obsession is for Instrumentals. I used to collect them also.
Today I am running high fever but believe me the lust for quality material on your blog could not stop me from sitting on the computer.
This is all for today. Thanks
April 6, 2009 at 7:10 am
hi
i managed to find the meaning of the word mushtakil—
it means a tenant.
i just realised that listening to these songs over and over again will make us proficient in urdu. think we shd have more of the older songs of majrooh. what say we might learn chaste hindi and hindustani as it used to be called
April 6, 2009 at 1:39 pm
i have a few farmaishes
“Bolna Halke halke” – Jhoom barabar jhoom
Arziyan – Delhi 6
katra katra mehki hai – ijazzat
saare niyam tod do – Khoobsurat
kayda kayda – khoobsrat
“Genda phool” – Delhi 6
April 6, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Ashwaniji, I do not know any Lata songs in Tamil unfortunately. That song you mention is also not familiar to me. In fact, I am not familiar with Tamil songs at all.
April 6, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Atul, a few more farmaishes from me (songs with Helen dances in Biswajeet movies) :
- Merra naam hai Jameela (Night in London) – already requested
- Kamar Patli (Kahin Din Kahin Raat) – I remember this from my early days
- One two three baby ya ya ya (Kismat) – Biswajeet’s dance is quite funny in this.
April 6, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Atul, here are some morer farmaishes (coming thick and fast now )
- Aaj suhani raat re (a.k.a “tu aaja re”) – Naya Andaz
- Hey babu, ye hai zamana tera – Bhaagam Bhag (1956) – old one
- Gore gore, bankey chhore (Samadhi)
- Saiyan dil mein aana re (Bahaar)
April 7, 2009 at 2:16 am
I have a few more farmaishes. I just realized that I could not find any of the songs from the movie Lajwanti. That movie had some great songs, such as
1. Kuch din pehle ek taal mein kamal kunj ke andar … Asha and chorus. This would also qualify as a children’s song.
2. Koi aaya dhadkan kehti hai … Asha
3. Aaja chhaaye kare kare …. Geeta Dutt and chorus
4. chanda re chanda re … Asha. This is a very soothing lori.
5. Gaa mere man gaa tu gaa … Asha
6. chanda mama mere dwar aana … Asha and Manna Dey
I just couldn’t believe it when I found that all these songs, which are all great ones, are from the same movie.
At this rate, you will probably do your 5000th song before this year is over.
April 7, 2009 at 4:16 am
No Problem Mr. Raja I am sending this link. Please view the video you will like the music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCGziDNC9No
Thanks
April 8, 2009 at 3:58 am
I have a farmayish, not from oldies. It is from Zameen Aasmaan probably released in 1983. The beautiful song was sung by “Lata Mangeshkar & Chorus”. Music was given by our beloved Pancham Da.
And the song is “Aisa Samaa Na Hota”.
April 8, 2009 at 6:40 am
Mr. Atul I have created “List of songs by Year Then by Film Name – blog post” & “List of songs by Name of Film – blog post” for you and sent at your e-mail. All the hyperlinks are maintained hence it can be ready for put to web. Please check your email.

April 8, 2009 at 10:04 am
Mr. Atul
I have one more request to put these two versions of same video from the film
“Kottai Marriaman (2001) – Tamil” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCGziDNC9No
and
“jai Maa Durga Shakti – Hindi” –
under devotional category.
Thanks
April 9, 2009 at 4:37 am
Dear Atul
Today I tuned my radio (Ceylon) late. It was towards the end of morning transmission. But to my surprise the two classic songs played during the short period are: -
1. Naina Barse (Woh KAun Thi) – Marvellous composition from Madan Mohan Saheb.
2. Raina Beeti Jaye (Amar Prem) – Songs of this film are also “AMAR”.
I opened your page and now listening to Naina Barse while waiting for the Raina Beeti Jaye to be uploaded soon.
Thanks
April 10, 2009 at 3:45 am
Atul
You have done a great job. Our immortal stars maybe no more, but we will keep them alive forever.
Here is my contribution to a nice Rafi song from the forgettable film “Adventures of Robin Hood”
April 10, 2009 at 5:07 am
Dear Atul
Last night I was surfing the net and incidentally came across your previous blog “Binaca Geetmala….”. I went through the contents and found the year of program on the blog was 1959. It could have been aired when I was only 16 or 17 days old.
But I can appreciate the contents now which in addition to Singing also show Dancing Geetmala. Comments from your internet friends were also read by me, who are still actively participating on this blog.
With this I went to bed and after a sound sleep when I woke up today morning I had another sweet memory of the past (between 1976 and 1981).
Many people donot know even those days about another program being aired, soon after “Binaca Geetmala (on Radio Ceylon)”, by Radio Australia. The presentor was Mr. V.L.Chakrapani. This was available immediately after the completion of Binaca Geet Mala program. It was aired on 25m band as well as 19m band. The Fifteen minutes program, though compered in English by Mr. V.L.Chakrapani, broadcasting Hindi songs. And to everybody’s surprise the most played song was “Dekha Hai Sabhi Ne Chand Ko” from film “Dil Ne Pukara(1967)”. Other songs I cannot recall (if I could I will share them too).
The last line from Mr. Chakrapani at the end of program still plays in my memory. “This is V.L.Chkrapani signing off from Radio Australia”. Like we have the voice of Sir Ameen Syani’s “Bahnon Aur Bhaiyo, Main hoon apka radio dost….”.
Now, since I have a pleasent part of memory refreshed I request you to put on your blog these two songs by Rafi Saheb from Dil Ne Pukara(1967)
1. Dekha Hai Sabhi Ne Chand Ko – Sanjay Khan & Rajshri
2. Humko Hone Laga Hai Pyar Tumse – South Indian touch in music.
Many many Thanks
April 10, 2009 at 11:46 am
I could find the video links of the songs on internet
1. Dekha Hai Sabhi Ne Chand Ko – Sanjay Khan & Rajshri –

2. Humko Hone Laga Hai Pyar Tumse (Ooi Amma) – South Indian touch in music – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aea3UuSRi9I
Enjoy the variety
Thanks

Hi
There are some gems that we do not hear often: Do you have anything on:
Anuradha (1960) – with Balraaj Sahni, Abhi Bhattacharya and Leela Naidu
Another one – Alaap – With Amitabh and Rekha (don’t know which year)
Both have lovely touching songs.
April 17, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Here are a few more of my favorite Lata songs, Atul
Tera mera pyar amar … from Asli Naqli
Pawan deewani na maane … from Dr. Vidya
Woh jo milte the kabhi hamse deewanon ki tarah … from Akeli mat jaiyo
Tadpaoge tadpa lo hum tadap tadapkar bhi … from Barkha
Meethi meethi baaton se bachna zara … from Qaidi no 911
Jhanan jhanjhanake apni paayal … from Aashiq
Main tumhise poochhti hoon … from Black Cat (never heard of this movie!)
Banke panchhi gaayen pyar ka taraana … from Anari
That’s all for now! I am trying to help you get to 1100 soon!
Thanks for the wonderful time I have every night after my family goes to bed, listening to old favorites.
April 17, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Atul
you took my idea I had been thinking about starting this type of blog for a long time …& what a great job you have done -congratulations!
I just spent a wonderful hour reading through the song listings & listening to nostalgic memories – definitely plan to come back regularly
let me know if you need help moving this forward. I am going to spend some time thinking about how to build on what you have in place
–Manish
April 25, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Here are a couple more of my favorite chand songs:
Chand ko dekho ji … Lata and Rafi
Dekho woh chand chhupke karta hai kya ishaare … Hemant and Lata
Chanda jaa chanda jaa re jaa re kahe aaya hai akela … Lata in Manmauji
This has become my favorite site these days. Keep it up, Atul!
April 28, 2009 at 2:22 am
I was just going through the list of movies and I am surprised to find that Mere Mehboob is missing. I thought you had included the song “Mere mehboob tujhe …” by Rafi at some point last year, so maybe the movie was dropped from the list by accident. There were a couple of other good songs too in that movie:
Mere mehboob mein kya nahin … Lata and Asha?
Allah bachaye naujawanon se … Lata
Yaad mein teri jaag jaagke hum … Rafi and Lata
Ai husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaaye … Rafi
Tumse izhaare haal kar baithe … Rafi
Thanks, Atul!
April 28, 2009 at 2:24 am
I have posted “mere mehboob qayaamat hogi ” (Mr X in Bombay) and “Mere mehboob na jaa” (Noormahal) so far.
May 5, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Hi Atul, here are some more songs to help you reach 1300 soon!
1. Mere man ka bawra panchhi … Lata in Amar Deep
2. Balma anaadi man bhaye … Lata in Bahurani
3. Banwari re jeene ka sahara tera naam re … Lata in Ek Phool char kante
4. Mere ae dil bata … Lata in Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje
5. Jo tum todo piya … Lata in Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje
6. Piya te kahan … Lata in Toofan aur Diya
7. Juhi ki kali meri ladli … Lata in Dil ek Mandir
8. Chahe to mora jiya lele … Lata in Mamta
We were eating at an Indian restaurant over the weekend and they were playing an old Lata CD with some of these songs, which prompted this request. Thanks for the great work, Atul!
May 9, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Dear Atul, I am sandeep agarwal from hyderabad, your blog is very helpful for deaf people like me, because text lyrics people who cannot hear the song can enjoy the lyrics. really very great job. I wish i can save all your songs in my harddisk, i request you for some songs which encourage disable peoples
thanks
May 10, 2009 at 1:04 am
Dear Sandeep. It is nice to know that my blog is useful for you.
I post entire lyrics of the songs, and that should be useful for you to enjoy the song.
May 12, 2009 at 12:21 am
I remember seeing a movie called Ghunghat which was based on a Tagore story “The Wreck” and had some very nice songs:
1. Laage na mora jiyaa … by Lata, easily the best song in the movie
2. Mori cham cham baaje paayaliyaa … Lata
3. Haye re insaan ki majbooriyan … Rafi
4. Do nain mile do phool khile … Rafi and Lata or Asha
If you wonder how I happened to see this movie, my mother was responsible! She had heard that this movie was based on a Tagore novel, so we saw this movie, which was not bad, from what I remember. The song Laage na mora jiyaa is a beautiful song and it sounds like a MM song, but apparently Ravi was the music director.
May 14, 2009 at 12:46 pm
I was looking through last night’s songs and I saw a song which starts with “Ae mere dil teri manzil …” and I was reminded of another song “Ae dil kahan teri manzil …” sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata. The female voice is basically just a chorus so it could even be Suman Kalyanpur, I will have to check this, but it sounds so great. It reminds me of birds taking off in flight, looking for a suitable resting place. So here is my next farmaish!
I was also noticing that the movie Ayee Milan Ki Bela has some great songs and they are all missing! I guess they are on the waiting list! Here are some of them:
Tum kamsin ho … Rafi as well as Lata, but I prefer the Rafi version.
Bura maan gaye … Rafi
Tumhe aur kya doon main dil ke siwa … Lata
I am sure some of these songs have already been requested before by Raja and others. I am usually a Late Lateef!
Thanks for all the wonderful songs, some known, some unknown to me, that you have been showcasing on this site.
May 15, 2009 at 1:52 am
I just remembered another one of my Hemant Kumar favorites –
chup hai dharti chup hai chand sitare … House no. 44
and another
Nai manzil nayi rahen naya hai karavan apna … with Lata in Hill Station
and
zindagi pyar ki do char ghadi hoti hai … from Anarkali
This is becoming a habit, to remember some old song and then to come here and see if you have already written about it, and if not, to include in my farmaish list! A new addiction, indeed!
May 20, 2009 at 11:54 am
Atul,
Sometime in the 70s there were some very “tongue-in-cheek” quawalis, in films that would be considered B-grade. One that used to be played on Chitrahaar on Doordarshan was “Kaise besharam aashiq hain aaj ke”.
Do you think you could gather some information on this and other similar and post some? I really have no other clues. Thank you.
May 20, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I have remembered one of the films, it was Putli Bai (1972).
There was another nice song by Kishore Kumar (and perhaps Asha?) first line was like this
Mere Meet Bata Tujhe Mujhse Kab Pyar Hua Aur Kaise
But cannot find any other info.
May 20, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Yes, the qawwaali “Aise besharm ashiq” is indeed from “Putlibai”.
And I will post it as soon as I can get its lyrics right. This qawwali is over 10 minutes long and its lyrics contain more than 1000 words.
May 21, 2009 at 8:54 am
Atul, I see i had the first word wrong so good of you to be able to dig it up so quickly and with a video too!
Thanks to this I have remembered another quawali by these quawals, also in another Z-grade film, I presume, but which was also played on the radio a lot.
Suno ji bada lutf tha jab kunware the hum tum…
May 22, 2009 at 11:01 am
I now found the Mere Meet Bata song from Putlibai on youtube. Really an A-class song for such a movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhmDQt44XSw
May 22, 2009 at 3:34 pm
I never knew that this song is from “Putlibai”. The qawwali overshadowed all other songs from the movie, that is how overwhelming was the influence of that qawwali.
May 24, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Atul, I just noticed that you had only two songs posted from the wonderful music of Bandini.
I have a farmaish for the Asha Bhonsle song from the movie
Ab Ke Baras Bhej Bhaiya Ko Babul
I think it should be rated among her best works ever, my heart breaks every time I hear it (I don’t know why) and yet it gets overshadowed by all the wonderful Lata/SD Burman numbers from the movie.
May 25, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Atul, I was making tea on a gloomy, dark, rainy day and I remembered one of Mukesh’s sad, gloomy songs:
Do roz mein woh pyar ka aalam ujad gaya (Pyar ki raahen ? never heard of that one!)
and one of his happy songs
suno ji suno hamari bhi suno aji mehrban hamari bhi suno (Ek dil sau afsane)
So here are my next two farmaishes!
Thanks, Atul!
May 28, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Atul–could you please review and upload SD Burman’s last album Tyaag (1977) starring Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna? There are some gems in there. Thanks!
May 29, 2009 at 9:29 am
One things leads to another and a post by Richard in Dances of the Footpath made me realise that Pakeezah’s music did not get a single award in 1972, which were hogged by a film called Beimaan, both in acting and music categories.
For the life of me I can’t remember this film or its music, and Wikipedia says Pran refused his supporting actor award for this film because Ghulam Mohammad was not given a posthumous award for his Pakeezah work.
I find it incredible and I have been looking at the songs list of Beimaan, and not one of them rings a bell from the lyrics. I will have to listen to them to see if any of those have lasted as well as Pakeezah’s music.
I hope you can post some and dig us up some lesser known tales (as you usually manage to do!)
May 29, 2009 at 10:06 am
Atul, a quick look at your year by year page brings us some other fine music from 1971:
Amar Prem, Mehboob Ki Mehndi, Anubhav, Caravan, Tere Mere Sapne.
I have listened to Beimaan songs…well, I await your verdict. I did not recognise a single one.
Shankar Jaikishen or the producers must have had one big “safarish” that year. And kudos to Pran for being ethical!
May 29, 2009 at 10:12 am
Beimaan was a Manoj Kumar movie. Its songs were of chaalu nature which appealed to the aam janta at that time.
Its title song was “na izzat ki chinta na fikr koi apmaan ki jai bolo beimaan ki jai bolo”. This song was 6th in Binaca geetmala finals of 1972.
If Pakeja did not get any awards, then at least those awards should have gone to “Hara Rama Hare Krishna” whose song stood number 1 in Binaca geetmala, whereas two paakeja songs were at number 2 and 3 in Binaca geetmala finals.
I agree, Beimaan getting these awards speaks poorly about the taste of the people who voted for these awards. I was just over 10 or 11 years old at that time, but even I had better taste than that. I personally did not like the songs of Beimaan.
May 30, 2009 at 8:51 am
There chalu songs that are much better than others. Time puts everything in its place.
I just realised that Pakeezah and Beimaan were competing in 1972, not 1971.
So the competition would have been Piya Ka Ghar, Parichay, Ek Nazar, Samadhi (Jab Tak rahe, Bangle ke peechhe, Jaane Jana)..are some of the ones I can recognise.
All of them had some enduring numbers but Pakeezah really should have swept away with it.
I don’t how the Binaca geet mala was worked out: I remember Pakeezah songs being played day and night on the radio, and the elders remarking on that fact (esp Inhi Logon Ne, Chalte chalte, and chalo dildar chalo….but all the others too)
Now, reading more, I realise the Jaiksihen part of Shankar- Jaikishen passed away from cirrhosis of the liver around that time, so this was maybe a “sentimental” award for some true rubbish.
May 30, 2009 at 11:20 am
Yes, Jaikishan had passed away at that time. But recognising Beimaan as a masterclass of Shankar Jaikishan is a big disservice to them since Shankar Jaikishan were the greatest and most successful music directors of all time when Jaikishan died. Shankar Jaikishan had composed hundreds of better and all time classic songs than this “Beimaan” song.
This award, filmfare award was an award based on votes by readers of the magazine. If the readers voted that way, then who are we to question their wisdom ? And in fact “Beimaan” swept the awards that year. So what ? Who remembers this movie today ?
May 31, 2009 at 8:18 am
Yes, they produced such an enormous amount of excellent songs over the years that I agree that this must have been almost an insult.
And yes, time puts everything in its place.
Madan Mohan’s son remembers this in an article
“It was not getting the Filmfare Award that really bothered my father. In the year when Mera Saaya was in the reckoning, he told us that all the issues of Filmfare had been bought. I’m not saying there was any cheating but when consumers had to fill in the coupons about their choices, it was so easy to manipulate the awards.”
I remember reading an interview by Laxmikant Pyarelal, where they said something similar about a producer, that this was the way to break into the awards for some people. Sounds like very hard (and not cheap) work to me!
June 3, 2009 at 11:05 am
I will be away for a couple of days. So there may not be new songs posted on 4 and 5 june, 2009. Hopefully, normalcy will be resumed after that.
June 4, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Atul, while you are away, a dustedoff post on Sujata brought up a host of posts with loris that people remembered.
So here some farmaishes:
1- Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye,
baaki jo bachaa tha kale chor le gaye” (film, prob Masoom, from 1960 or so)
2- Kabuliwallah aaya (2) kabul kubalse
Pista badaam laya (2) kabul kubalse (Kabuliwallah)
3- Chhun chhun karti aaye chidhiya
Dal ka daana laaye chidhiya (don’t know film, singer Rafi)
Thank you!
June 11, 2009 at 7:37 pm
You asked about the actors for the film Badmash, I found that one of them was Jalal Agha.
That reminded of a very fine movie with him and Simi Garewal called
Do Boond Pani, which had few, but lovely songs: it was well-made movie (though I didn’t enjoy the ending).
Hope you can find some of them and post them soon.
June 12, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Hi Atul, I have quoted your blog in one of my posts today here: http://musicwizard.livejournal.com/19619.html
I just thought you would like to know that. Thanks for the amazing songs you are sharing, although I have been visiting your blog only from past few months.
June 15, 2009 at 6:14 am
Atul, here is a list of songs from Do Boond Pani which I requested earlier- it may help you to find them faster
Music: Jaidev Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi, Bal Kavi Bairagi
1. Ja ja ri pawaniya piya ke des ja (Asha) ..the best-known song
2. Peetal ki mori gaagri dilli se mol mangwaayi (Parveen Sultana?)
3. Apne watan mein aaj do boond pani bhi nahin (Mukesh)
4. Baaj rahi jis samaye shehnai
5. Banni teri bindiya kim le loon re balaiyyan
June 16, 2009 at 11:50 am
Today is June 16, 2009 in Atlanta, USA. It’s the first time I have visited your blog for the song “Main Khush Naseeb Hoon”. I am impressed with the details on your blog. You are truly doing a great service for fans like me. Even after being in USA for 33 years, the only songs I listen to and sing are Indian songs. Thank you for your contribution.
June 16, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Thanks for your kind words, Mr Thakkar. it is encouragement like yours that keeps this blog going.
June 22, 2009 at 2:24 am
Atul,
Could you please include the song “Panghat na jao” from
the film “Hamara Ghar”?
Roy
June 30, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I was walking in my garden yesterday and … I remembered some songs about gardens and bees, and here they are:
1. Baagon mein baharon mein ithlaatha gaata aaya koi … Lata from Choti Bahen?
2. Baagh mein kali khili bhanwara … Asha in Chand aur suraj
3. Bhanwara bada naadaan haye … Asha in Sahib bibi aur ghulam
4. Gunguna rahen hain bhanware … Rafi, Asha in Aradhana
5. Bikhra ke zulfein chaman mein na jaana … Mukesh, Lata in nazrana
So here are some farmaishes from me, Atul!
This is such a nice site to come to and listen to some old songs from the past, some of which I barely remember, yet are so soothing and melodious to the ear. Thanks for a great job, Atul!
July 4, 2009 at 9:26 am
dear sir,
The video for BHARKHA rani was just just superb i enjoy it a lot i wud like to see the lata version for the same sog kindly let me know if u have in ur blog.
July 4, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Having an artistic inclination V. Shantaram movies had quite a big impact on me. The music, dance and narrative style stood out from the rest. You have already posted few incredible songs from his movies. One “farmaish” that I have is for video of the song “Bindiya lagake” from Jal bin machli nritya bin bijli. I remember being spell bound by this song as a kid as it had the right quotient of story and dance that could keep any child on his seat for a while. All my attempts to search the video of that song have so far been futile. I am hopeful. Thanks!!!
July 5, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I found myself humming this song today and looked it up on your site and it is not there! The song is
Yeh raaten nayi puraani … by Lata from Julie
In fact, the songs of Julie are all missing! I don’t remember all of them, but the title song, Bhool gaya sab kuch … by Kishore Kumar is a haunting melody.
So here are two more farmaishes from me. Thanks, Atul!
July 6, 2009 at 6:21 am
Hi Atul,
Many months back I invited you to my site bobbytalkscinema.com
and got a reply that you will soon mail me how you feel about it.
Still wating for your mail.
July 12, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Atul–a farmaish please. SD Burman’s last release “Tyaag” which was a home production of Sharmila Tagore’s starring her, Kaka (Rajesh Khanna), Prem Chopra, Sulochana et al. It’s a forgotten gem. Would be very grateful.
July 24, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I may be a bit off and on in posting songs for the next couple of weeks, as I will be travelling. So please bear with me in case I am not in a position to post as prolifically as usual during this period
August 6, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I remembered a song last night and when I checked this morning, I found that you have not yet posted this one. This is
sajan sang kahe neha lagaye … by Lata from Main Nashe mein hoon.
It is an absolutely beautiful song.
Thanks for the great job you are doing, Atul.
August 8, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Atul, here are a few more songs which I remembered:
1. sunoji suno hamari bhi suno … Mukesh in Ek Dil Sau Afsane
2. ek sawal main karoon ek sawal tum karo … Rafi, Lata in Sasural
3. tere pyar ka aasra chaahta hoon … Mahendra Kapoor, Lata (?) in Dhool ka phool
Thanks, Atul!
August 10, 2009 at 3:01 am
As mentioned in my earlier post above, I was away for a couple of weeks and as such I was not able to devote much time to the blog. As a result I posted songs at a lower rate and I was not able to respond to comments.
Now I am back, and hopefully normal service will be resumed from tomorrow.
August 24, 2009 at 12:37 am
Hello Atul: Did you know that in June this year Madan Mohan’s son Sanjeev Kohli released a new audio CD (Tere Bagair) of 16 Madan Mohan composed songs that were either not released or were released on a Polydor issued album that had very limited distribution? Some of the songs are true gems. I have posted 3 of them and others have posted more. Here is a link to one of them:
August 24, 2009 at 1:48 am
I just remembered another old favorite of mine and discovered that it had not made it to your blog. The song is
Sapne suhane ladakpan ke mere nainon mein dole … Lata in Bees Saal Baad
I guess I am remembering my own ladakpan these days!
Thanks, Atul!
August 24, 2009 at 1:59 am
This is great information, bemused321.
Lalitha, “Bees Saal baad” has so many great songs that it is easy to confuse among songs that have been posted and that have not been posted. Now that you have pointed it out,I will certainly post this song.
August 26, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Here are two more songs about “bachpan”:
1. Bachpan ke din bhula na dena … Lata and Shamshad in Deedar
2. Bachpan ke din bhi kya din the … Asha in Sujata
I know you have probably noticed this already, but I spend a lot of time at this site daily! Thanks for the great work, Atul.
August 27, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Hi, very nice blog (I was exploring it after I just commented on another post). I reached here through google search.. I wished to follow it or keep in touch in some way. No such Option here ???
August 28, 2009 at 4:54 am
In blogspot blogs, there is the option of “follow my blog.” There is no such option in wordpress.com I think.
August 28, 2009 at 7:21 am
yeah thats true indeed.. I thought there would be some other option like an email subscription or so…. [:)]
September 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Looks like I have a lot of songs to catch up on, since I have not been able to do much surfing for some time now. However, I did remember one song today, and guess what, it still hasn’t made it to your blog. It is from the movie Mere Huzoor.
Kya kya na sahe humne sitam aapke khatir … Lata and Rafi
You are doing a great job, Atul!
September 12, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Atul – Your blog makes me feel like am back in high school – college – you know, I used to know the lyrics of practically every song – however obscure. At home we are obsessed with ‘yesteryears’ songs and big fans of ‘bhoole bisre geet’. I grew up with Binaca geet mala … what can I say? Am thrilled I found your blog. Now I know where to link to when I refer to a song on my blog!
September 12, 2009 at 6:44 pm
wow! truely a find for me… atul your interest in bollywood songs, singlemindedness for blogging and great comments about songs are really inspiring. Keep it up!
September 19, 2009 at 12:03 am
want to know, who has sung “chale jana jara thehro kisika dum nikalta hai”
September 19, 2009 at 12:22 am
This is a song from “Around the world”. It had two versions. Male version was sung by Mukesh. Female version was sung by Sharda.
September 19, 2009 at 2:24 pm
very nice blog
i came in search of lyrics – thanks for doing service by providing lyrics
September 26, 2009 at 11:52 am
Here’s another farmaish, Atul:
Chali re chali re gori paniya bharan ko … Lata and Kishore in Mr. X in Bombay (??)
It looks like listening to all these old beauties makes me remember more and more old songs. Thanks, Atul.
September 28, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Atul, I just realized that there are no songs from the movie Saaz aur Awaaz, which had Joy Mukherji and Saira banu, and some really great songs and dances.
1. Saaz ho tum aur awaaz hoon main …
2. Paayaliya banwari …
3. Dil ki mehfil saji hai chale aayiye …
4. Tum ishq ki mehfil ho …
So here is my next list of farmaishes!
Congratulations on achieving the 2000th song! This is a fantastic site.
October 1, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Here are some more songs I remembered:
Cham cham ghunghroo bole … by Asha Bhonsle in Phagun (the old one with Madhubala and Bharat Bhushan)
Gudiya hamse roothi rahogi kab tak … by Lata in Dosti
Thanks, Atul!
October 2, 2009 at 1:51 am
Another movie which hasn’t made it here:
Pooja ke phool
Songs: Meow meow meri sakhi … by Lata
Ab do dilon ki mushkil … by Rafi and Lata
Dil todna kisika yeh zindagi nahin hai … by Lata
Strange, how I seem to remember these old songs out of the blue these days!
October 5, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Another old song which hasn’t been posted:
Ek dil ke tukde hazaar huye … by Rafi from Pyar ki Jeet
Actually, I remembered this song when I opened your site this morning, because the first song reminded me of this song. I am amazed by your dedication to this project, and grateful that someone is doing such a wonderful service to lovers of old-fashioned music. Thanks, Atul!
October 6, 2009 at 10:30 pm
I have two more farmaishes:
Tim tim tim taron ke deep jale … Lata and Talat – Mausi
Tim tim karte taare – Lata – Chirag kahan roshni kahan
Thanks, Atul!
October 13, 2009 at 12:38 pm
It looks like I am filling this section with my farmaishes! Raja, please add your farmaishes so that I can feel less guilty!
I remembered these two songs and found that they have not yet found a place here:
Din ho ya raat hum rahen tere saath … from Miss Bombay
Yeh nayi nayi preet hai … from Pocketmaar
Thanks, Atul!
October 13, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Looking at your farmaishes gives me so much food for thought and so many songs that I have noyt yet posted. Keep your farmaishes coming. I keep all these farmaishes noted down , and sooner or later all of them are bound to appear in the blog. There are many great songs that have not yet been covered.
Incidentally, the song “ye nayi nayi preet hai ” is already posted.
Ye nayi nayi preet hai (Pocketmaar)
October 14, 2009 at 1:26 am
Yes, you are right, Atul! Yeh nayi nayi preet hai … has already been posted, but I found another one that hasn’t been posted:
Dil mein chhupake pyar ka toofan … by Rafi in Aan, picturized on a very young Dilip Kumar and Nadira
Thanks, Atul!
October 17, 2009 at 6:29 am
Happy Diwali, everyone! Just remembered yet another old favorite for you to add to your spreadsheet of farmaishes:
Jaane kahan mera jigar gaya ji – Rafi and Geeta Dutt from Mr. and Mrs. 55
Thanks, Atul!
October 20, 2009 at 2:22 am
Atul, I was listening to O jaane wale ho sake to laut ke aana and decided to listen to some happy songs instead and looked for the songs of Tere Ghar ke samne, and guess what? There was only one song from that movie there. That movie is bursting with great songs, like
Tu kahan yeh bataa … Rafi
Dekho rootha na karo … Rafi and Lata
Ek ghar banaunga … Rafi and Lata
Sun le tu dil ki sada … Rafi
Yeh tanhaai haye re haye … lata
All great songs, thanks to Burmanda, and of course, Dev Anand!
October 20, 2009 at 8:31 am
Another old favorite which came to my mind just now:
Dil ki tamanna thi masti mein … by Rafi and Asha in Gyarah Hazar ladkiyan
Thanks for bearing with me, Atul!
October 22, 2009 at 12:30 am
Since you are so patient with me, Atul, here are a few more farmaishes:
1. Tum jo huye mere humsafar … Rafi and Geeta Dutt in Twelve o’clock (never heard of that movie!)
2. Chandni aaye banke pyar o saajna … Shamshad Begum in Dulari
3. Piya tose naina laage re … Lata from Guide
Thanks, Atul!
October 24, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Here are a few more farmaishes from me, since Raja doesn’t seem to be sending you any these days!
1. Qaid mein hai bulbul … by Lata in Bedard Zamana kya Jaane
2. Naina hain jadoo bhare … by Mukesh in Bedard Zamana kya Jaane
3. Mujhe mil gaya bahana teri …. Lata in Barsaat ki Raat
4. Humsafar saath apna chhod chale … Rafi (?) and Lata in Aakhri Dao
If I have already requested these songs, just blame it on my poor memory (and laziness to check!).
Thanks, Atul, for being so patient.
October 24, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Indeed I have not given Atul any farmaishes for a long time !!!
Bahut na-insaafi hai
Here is one farmaish, Atul.
I was listening to it only yesterday after a long time – and was amazed at how powerful the simple lyrics are. We know Rafi saab has sung some really good rona-dhona songs but listening to this yesterday made me realise what a gem this is in that category.
The song is :
Kal chaman tha aaj ek sehra hua from Khandaan
October 24, 2009 at 5:04 pm
where did you listen to this rona dhona song, Raja ?
October 24, 2009 at 5:11 pm
I was listening to it on my mp3 player while travelling by bus.
Listened to a lot of lovely songs (mix of various singers) – thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
Btw, now that my “farmaish” mood has been ignited again (blame it on Lalitha ), here are a few more.
Just noticed that you have not posted ANY of Rafi saab’s rona-dhona songs from Do Badan. He has 3 very famous ones in this movie.
Bhari duniya mein aakhir dil
Naseen mein jiski jo likha tha
Raha gardishon mein har dam
And, staying with Rafi saab, I see that you have posted only 1 song (din dhal jaaye) from Guide. He has two other gems too.
Kya se kya ho gaya
Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hain
Of course, as usual these are only farmaishes. Totally upto you to decide if you want to post them – and when.
October 24, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I just noticed that you have only one song from Jab Jab Phool Khile. I know you do not like Shashi Kapoor much – and you would rather post obscure songs than better-known ones – but how about “yahan main ajnabi hoon” from this movie ? Again a Rafi saab song with strong lyrics. He seems to have sung this in a subdued style but the emotion comes through strongly. Rafi saab was in a class of his own, no doubt about that !!!
October 24, 2009 at 6:09 pm
A few more farmaishes from me, Atul (definitely the last ones for today ).
- Dil bekaraar sa hai (Ishaara) – there are 2 versions, male & female (both are good)
- Maine shaayad tumhen pehle bhi (Barsaat ki Raat)
- Ek musafir ko duniya mein kya chaahiye (Door Ki Awaaz)
- Ek haseen shaam ko (Dulhan Ek Raat Ki) – I think I have already sent a farmaish for this a while ago…khair no harm in sending it again.
October 28, 2009 at 1:01 am
Good to see Raja back in action again! Now I don’t have to feel guilty about sending in farmaishes, I have some great company! So here is another song that I just remembered:
Yeh vaada karen jahan bhi rahen … Mukesh and Lata in Dil bhi tera hum bhi tere
Thanks, Atul, and congratulations on reaching 2100! Now we just have to keep supplying farmaishes to help you to reach 5000!
October 31, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Two more farmaishes, Atul!
1. Yeh chanda roos ka na yeh japan ka … Rafi in Insaan jaag utha
2. Din ho ya raat hum rahen tere saath … Rafi and Lata in Miss Bombay
Thanks!
November 5, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Great job, Atul! Now we can search by music directors also! I used it to search for a song and didn’t find it –
Udhar tum haseen ho idhar main jawan … Rafi and Geeta Dutt in Mr. and Mrs. 55
The music was so typical of O.P.Nayyar that I just looked under O.P’s name and sure enough, the movie was there with two other songs, but this one wasn’t! So here’s another farmaish from me.
Thanks, Atul!
November 12, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Wow! I have no words to describe such an effort. Atul, let me start by saying that u are truly a huge fan of Hindi Bollywood Music. Let me also add that I too am one. I stumbled upon your blog while searching for some songs for my vodpod. And what I came across was a huge treasure trove of music. Your effort and patience is amazing. Hats off to you!
Thank you so much for giving music lovers like myself such an insight into old Bollywood music which is unparallelled and immortal.
November 16, 2009 at 1:42 am
Listening to Subir Sen’s song today reminded me of another one of his songs:
Main rangeela pyar ka rahi … Subir Sen and Lata from Chhoti Bahen
So there’s my next farmaish!
Thanks for going thru the farmaishi list so patiently and playing them!
December 31, 2009 at 4:07 am
I was out of town for a few days and haven’t been going thru this site regularly. Thanks for having included my farmaishes and even mentioning that these obscure songs were my farmaishes! Well, then, naturally, it follows that I must think of at least one more obscure song for you -
Laagi tumse lagan kabhi toote na – Lata and Mukesh – Saaranga
Happy New Year, and may you reach your 5000th song this year!
January 3, 2010 at 3:27 am
Wishing you too a Very Happy and a Prosperous New Year, Atul…!!!!
January 4, 2010 at 5:43 am
Thanks…!!!!
Wonderful blog, Atul…I can see a lot of hardwork and passion…Congratulations…!!!!
January 11, 2010 at 10:39 am
Atul, have you been able to locate any of the songs of “Do Boond Pani”?
I put in a request some time ago, but I know you get lots so maybe it got lost in the crowd.
The film starred Jalal Agha and Simi Garewal, and one song that I liked in particular is
“Ja ja ri pavaniya piya ke des ja”
February 5, 2010 at 2:24 am
I know it has been some time since I came here, but I find that you have also not been as active as you used to be, so I don’t feel so guilty any more. I remembered a song by Mukesh that I used to like in my younger days (aah, those were the days!) and I came here to find that it was not here, either, so here is my request:
Nain ka chain churakar le gayi … by Mukesh from Chandramukhi
Thanks!
February 7, 2010 at 1:36 am
I hope you are not sick or something, Atul, as this is almost uncharacteristic of you to not post songs for this long a period! Just in case you don’t have any good songs to post, here are two more:
Chandan ka palna resham ki dori … Hemant and Lata in Shabab
Teri chamakti aankhon ke aage … Talat and Lata in Chhote Babu
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Lalitha
February 7, 2010 at 2:08 am

What an amazing blog, Atul. Heartiest congratulations, mubaraq, kudos. Am recommending this to everyone I know.
February 20, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Hi Atul. Need to contact you. I too am in my 40′s and a Hindi film music buff. May I have your email ID, please. Could not locate your ID on your blog. My ID is santoshojha @ gmail.com.
March 19, 2010 at 8:56 am
Atul, I just realized one of my all-time favorite songs is missing –
Humsafar saath apna chhod chale – Aakhri Dao – Talat? and Asha
March 22, 2010 at 7:30 am
Atul, another one of my favorite songs is missing -
Hum aur tum aur yeh samaa – Rafi in Dil Deke Dekho
This has surely got to be one of the most romantic songs ever.
Thanks for writing about so many of my favorite songs.
March 24, 2010 at 12:10 am
Atulji I have been following your blog for quite some time now and you are doing a fabulous work. Your blog is amazing. One information : Can you or any of your friends tell me the name of the movie for this song by Lata : MA TU APNE PONCHLE AANSOO RONE KI KOI BAAT NAHI, JAB TAK HUN MAIN SAATH TERE MAT SOCH KE KOI SAATH NAHI. This is urgent Sir.
March 24, 2010 at 1:09 pm
This song is from “Sansaar” (1971). It has been sung not by Lata but by Usha Mangeshkar. Chitragupta is the music director and Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist.
March 24, 2010 at 12:16 am
Ref post 262. The song Humsafar Saath apna chhod chale is by Rafi Sahab and Asha and not Talat Mahmood.
March 24, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Atulji many thanks for the full information and that too so quickly. I will check up youtube for the song.
March 28, 2010 at 3:22 am
Here’s another farmaish from me, Atul:
Do dil dhadak rahen hain aur aawaaz ek hai … Lata and Talat
No idea how these songs seem to pop up suddenly in my head!
Thanks, Atul!
March 28, 2010 at 9:22 am
Atulji and other friends. The song from Sansar 1971 – MA TU AANSOO PONCHLE APNE RONE KI KOI BAAT NAHI, sung by Usha Mangeshkar is unfortunately not available anywhere on the net. Or is it ? Can someone please send the link ? In the alternative, if someone can send the song in mp3 format I will be highly obliged. My email id is rafimurty@gmail.com
April 13, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Atul, after a long time some farmaishes from me :
1) Ek musafir ko duniya mein kya chaahiye – Door ki Awaaz (1964). (Already requested in Oct 2009 but not posted yet). Film picturisation video may be difficult to get but it is a total timepass song, so I think any video for the moment will do.
2) Muqaddar Aazmana chahta hoon (same movie)
3) Hain sab se madhur wo geet (Patita) – Talat Mahmood.
4) Dil-e-Nadaan tujhe hua kya hai (Mirza Ghalib) – Talat & Suraiya.
Thanks.
April 13, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Well, like Gareeb Rath trains starting from eastern part of India, I am too running late as far as posting old farmaishes are concerned. You are of course free to keep pulling alarm chain.:)
April 13, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Ha ha..it is important to add “the inconvenience is deeply regretted”..in a tone that does not show the slightest bit of interest.
Take your time, Atul. I will just put the farmaishes out there. Ab aagey aapki marzi. If I ask “post kab karenge ?” you should say “karenge bhai, karenge” and give me one of those looks.
April 15, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Hi Atul, I am back to farmaish mode again. Will be sending you a lot of farmaishes but as usual please post only if you feel like, totally at your convenience.
1) Agar mujhse mohabbat hai – Aap Ki Parchhaiyan
2) Chandi ki deewar na todi – Vishwaas
3) Tujhe dekha tujhe chaaha – Chhoti Si Mulaqat
4) Na jhatko zulf se paani – Shehnai
5) Hui shaam unka khayal – Mere Humdum Mere Dost
April 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm
A couple more farmaishes, Atul.
1) Wo jo milte they kabhi (Akeli Mat Jaiyo)
2) Agar bewafa tujhko pehchan jaate (Raat Ke Andhere Mein) – both versions (Rafi and Lata).
Thanks. These are lovely songs.
April 28, 2010 at 6:06 am
Another Hemant Kumar song that I just remembered:
Raah bani khud manzil … from Kohraa
Thanks for patiently looking up and finding all these old songs which are all but forgotten by most people.
May 2, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Hey
the other day i was watching late night movies and heard this absolutely fantastic Madhuri-Govinda song. its goes like this, “Ek rasgulla kahin phat gaya re.. re baba re.. phat ke jilebi se lipat gaya re” Its from inaamdar or izzatdar or something like that
It reminded me of other wacky madhuri songs like, “Mujhe achi lagti hai” and the parody from Jamai Raja, “yoodli doo” from khel, etc. She and probably Sridevi were the only ones who could get away with such utter nonsense. This was proven to me from the another song I hear last week from the mithun starrer Guru with Sridevi going, “I’m a bad girl”.
It would be a pleasure to see these songs here, as especially the first one as I couldn’t hear it fully the other night.
thanks

Great effort by one man! You know if you go to
you can get more than 10,000 lyrics and would not need to duplicate the effort.
May 10, 2010 at 7:24 am
Thanks for your comments. I am privileged to have your comments in this blog.
The lyrics in that site (as well as other sites) are not complete. Moreover, once the lyrics are available in one site, other sites copy the same (incomplete) lyrics instead of coming up with their own lyrics. Also,lyrics for several of the songs posted in this site are not available anywhere else, at least on the date when these songs were posted here.
May 10, 2010 at 7:59 am
Thanks. Again, excellent effort. Two more comments. Lots of people are working hard to get the movie, extract the video, post in youtube and elsewhere. I think you should acknowledge their efforts, if not individually, at least as a general comment somewhere on your blog. Of course, if you are using Geet Kosh or another source to get song info that should be acknowledged too.
May 10, 2010 at 8:21 am
I acknowledge the efforts of youtube uploader sometimes in the individual post, but yes, it will be a good idea if I can aknowlegde it in the about page. I will do that.
May 22, 2010 at 7:20 am
Another farmaish from me:
Abhi kamsin ho naadaan ho … Rafi in Aaya Toofan
I was just watching it on Youtube and discovered that it was not filmed on Rajendra Kumar as I had thought, but on Ajit. Good for you, Ajit!
Thanks, Atul, for your patience in finding and writing about these old songs which mean so much to people like me.
January 30, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Lalitha ji,
Just browsing thru old posts .
You are not very much off the mark to think about Rajendra Kumar and the words “kamsin” and “nadaan”.
Rajendra Kumar has sung a similar sounding song in “Aayee Milan Ki Bela”, a 1964 film starring Rajendra, Dharamendra, and Saira Banu. The first lines are
“tum kamsin ho, nadaan ho
naazuk ho, bholi ho
sochta hoon mein
ke tumhen pyaar na karun
ke tumhen pyaar na karun”
Lyrics by Hasrat and music by SJ.

Hi Atul,
I see that my farmaish for “is duniya mein pyare…from Shreemanji” has not yet been posted. (see post # 77 here). It is a song I remember from my childhood – timepass song. Could you pls consider posting it ?
Also, on the “off-beat” songs thread at CF, I am putting up videos that maybe you could consider for posting ? Thanks.
Raja
May 23, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Atul, one song which I remember from my younger days and which has a lot of meaning and philosophy is :
“mujhe nahin poochni tumse beeti baatein” from Anjan Raahen.
Could you pls post this one ? Thanks. It is a BEAUTIFUL song.
May 23, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Atul, since my above request, I got all enthu about this song (I really chanced upon it today) and have written about it on my blog. If you like, you can of course take the lyrics (and the translation) – but they may not meet your high standards.

May 24, 2010 at 5:04 am
Hi Atul, just noticed that so far no songs of Ganga Ki Lehren have been posted.
Therefore my farmaish for the following 2 lovely songs :
- machalti hui hawa mein chham chham
- chhedo na meri zulfen
Thanks.
May 24, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Atul, farmaish for this song – I am sure you have heard it in your childhood also. It was a popular song. I heard it today after about 35 years !!!
May 24, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Indeed I have listened to this song. But I was not aware about its movie. So this song was from “Ek Mutthi Aasmaan” ? That makes it a Madan Mohan composition. So Madan Mohan came up with two great songs in this movie (other being the title song). And unfortunately for him, the movie flopped, as usual.
May 24, 2010 at 2:45 pm
They keep coming, Atul. Let me know when you want me to stop.
- Aankh milaye na, muskuraya na (Milan Ki Raat)
- Maine pehli hi baar dekha gussa haseenon ka (Dhadkan)
May 25, 2010 at 12:22 am
Atul, for that song on CF, I have written it up myself. I heard it for the first time today and have heard it like a zillion times already.

May 25, 2010 at 3:45 am
Another Madan Mohan beauty which I just remembered:
Woh jo milte the kabhi hamse deewanon ki tarah … Lata from Akeli Mat Jaiyo
This movie had some good songs in it, including the title song which could be noted down as another farmaish from me!
Thanks, Atul!
May 28, 2010 at 9:23 am
Another farmaish from me:
Jhoome meri beliya preet re … Lata and Manna Dey from Amar Shaheed.
It is a beautiful song, another one from my childhood days.
Thanks for patiently finding all these songs, Atul!
June 4, 2010 at 1:08 am
Hello Atul,
A farmaish after a long time. I suddenly remembered this popular comic song from my childhood (the 70s I should think),
“Aamdani athani kharcha rupaiya, bhaiya, na puchho na puchho haal, natija than than gopal”.
Don’t know singer or song but I would guess Kishore Kumar.
When I tried searching for it, it comes with a film of this name from 2001, of whose existence I did not have a clue.
Thanks in advance.
June 4, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I have tried to search for this song, but the movie by this name seems to have totally overshadowed the old song. All searches lead only to the movie of this name starring Johny Lever.
January 30, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Atul ji,
This song is from the movie “Teen Bahuraniyaan”, released in 1968. Main actors are Prithviraj Kapur, Ramesh Deo, Rajendra Nath, Agha, Shahsikala, Kanchan, Dhumal, Janki and a number of child artists.
The movie is a social comedy about a joint family, trying to make its ends meet in the face of rising inflation and the desires of family members to raise their life style trying to keep up with their neighbors.
Prithviraj Kapur is the patriarch. He has 3 sons, Ramesh Deo, Agha, and Rajendranath, all married. All of them stay together in the same household.
The mentioned song is in this context. It is a fun group song in which the entire family, including the children, participate.

June 6, 2010 at 4:29 pm
I thank you for the farmaish of this lovely song. I will post it as soon as possible.
December 3, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I came across your blog recently, and I must admire your hard work and dedication. I can see it becoming a comprehensive site of the best songs from the Golden (1950s and 60s) and the Vintage Era (1931-49). If I may give a suggestion to enrich your blog – now that it has reached a fairly large size, rather than adding songs randomly, it is best to proceed systematically either year-wise or music director-wise and fill up obvious omissions of the best or the most representative/defining songs that are left out. For example, in Purnima (Kalyanji Anandji) Mukesh’s Tumhein zindagi ke ujale mubarak; in Bazaar (1949, Shaym Sundar) Lata Mangeshkar’s Saajan ki galiyan chhod chale and Rafi-Lata duet Ae mohabbat unse milne ka bahana ban gaya; in Patang (Chitragupta) Lata’s Rang dil ki dhadkan laati to hogi are missing. These are the defining songs of these movies, there are several other such instances. I am sure they would be there on your radar screen also and would come in the due course. But I just thought proceeding systematically would achieve the objective more efficiently. At least you make sure you don’t spend your effort and energy on uploading mediocre songs at the cost of real gems.
I invite you to also browse my blog http://www.songsofyore.com. I do not intend it to be a survey blog like yours, but I off and on post more analytical articles on some features or patterns which strke my fancy. In the vast ocean of our music you never cease to be surprised and come across something new.
May I again compliment you on the wonderful service you are doing for millions of music lovers.
December 3, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Thanks a lot for your encouraging words as well as suggestions. I will see what I can do to improve the site. There are still so many great songs left that one’s eyes keep wandering instead of staying on the songs that one originally thought of discussing.
I think discussing songs yearwise or music directorwise will become monotonous and that way I will be stuck up with one year or one music director for a long time. But I often try to fill up the missing songs of movies. You will find that I have discussed almost all the songs of a few movies. Most music directors have hundreds and even thousands of songs under their belt, so it will take me ages before I can cover those songs. But I have made a beginning. For instance, I have posted nearly half the songs of Sajjad Hussain, nearly one fourth of all Naushad songs etc. Among singers, I have posted nearly 30 % of all Mukesh songs. That way, I am gradually filling up the blanks, and simultanouesly discoveting songs and movies that I never knew existed.
I have visited your site and I liked what I saw. I am sure I will get lots and lots of valuable information from your site. It is nice to have another music lover of the golden era of Hindi movies. Welcome to the bandwagon.
January 29, 2011 at 6:08 pm
hello Atul, I am putting together a post about Indian movie songs on Indian railways, see here

and here

If there’s anything that you think we’ve missed (must have Indian railways, not European or American) please let me know.
January 29, 2011 at 7:46 pm
Your post is quite comprehensive and contains lots of songs on Indian Railways. Some time back I had posted my own post on Rail songs in my other blog Bollywood songs featuring Indian Railways.
Almost all the songs of my post figures in your article. After that I have discovered a few more songs picturised on Indian Railways that I have discussed in my song blog viz.
Gaya Andhera Hua ujaaraa (Subah ka Taara), Ye rang bhare baadal (Tu Nahin Aur Sahi) , Apni nazar se door wo (Baazaar), Jeewan hai ik sapnaa (Honeymoon) ,
ab mohabbat mein jo pahle thhi (Banarasi Thug) , auraton ke dabbe mein mard aa gayaa (Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh) , Hello hello gentleman (Actress) , Dhak dhak karti chali jeewan ki rail re (Dilruba) , badal jaaye agar maali (Bahaarein Phir Bhi Aayengi),Jawaani ki rail chali jaaye re (Shehnaayi) , Raahi matwaale (Waaris) , Rukh se zara naqaab hataa do (Mere Huzoor) , Logon ka dil agar (Manpasand) , Dekh tere sansaar ki haalat (Naastik) , Main chali main chali (Professor), Mujhe apna yaar banaa lo (Boyfriend), Pyaar baantte chalo (Hum Sab ustaad Hain) .
January 30, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Atul ji,
Another very good rail song is from the movie China Town (1962).
“dekho ji ik bala jogi
matwala jogi
dwaar tere aayo ri”
Sung in a first class compartment of the narrow gauge track to Darjeeling, Shammi Kapur is disguised as a sadhu with an ektara, singing to Shakila and SN Bannerjee (playing the role of Shakila’s father in the movie).
Lyrics – Majrooh, Music – Ravi
A gem of a song.

wow. thanks a lot Atul, I’ll start working through them.
Amazing site anyway, well done!
January 30, 2011 at 12:06 am
Wonderful site, Atul. A very useful & handy reference tool, too. I browse it regularly for my dose of golden oldies, rare gems, lyrics, song info or just to surprise myself. The days of yore studded with glittering jewels such as Radio Ceylon/SLBC & Vividh are sorely missed.
One thing that I notice & love about your blog is the painstaking indexing & categorisation of the content & the accuracy of material, esp. lyrics. Generally, the lyrics are free from errors, authentic and spelled brilliantly. Only a person of language can do such justice to transliterating hindi into english with admirable precision & exactness.
I’m sure you devote a considerable amount of time to build up and maintain this blog. As I do consult this blog from time to time, to repay the favour and as a token of my gratitude, I would like to offer my assistance in keeping this blog ticking over. What I can do for this blog is to submit a song’s lyrics & youtube link directly to you. After your approval & review, you may post it on to the blog alongwith your usual valuable & insightful comments.
Thank you indeed.
January 30, 2011 at 7:27 am
Thanks for your kind words, Atif. It is indeed encouragements like yours that keeps this blog going. Your encouraging words made my day.
January 30, 2011 at 2:07 am
Well, I’ll now go through my entire list and sticking links in to your awesome and definitive pages for all of them.
I’ve just posted on the IRFCA board to get some added value.
One of your youtubes didnt work, but there was a working one, not sure now which one it was but I’ll tell you when I find it again.
It would of course been much quicker if I;d located you first, but not as much fun.
I think most peoples all time favourite is Mere Sapnon Ki Rani, closely followed by rail gaadi rail.
The two subjects, movie songs and railways, are of course all part of Indian DNA, many people are really interested in this, so we shoudl make a definitive page somewhere.
February 7, 2011 at 12:11 am
Mr. Atul,
I do realise the huge u have put in for creating and maintaining this blog. My post in the farmaish section failed to convey my real intentions. Like every body else in this country i also have my own personal favourites. In your turn you may have started this blog with your personal favourites, as mentioned in the first page of “about this blog” (rightly so).
It is because i realised the massive proportions of this mammoth task, that i wish to e-mail lyrics and some narration, whenever possible. You may appprov/edit them as u see fit before posting.
Regards.

All music directors of the golden era (well known as well as lesser known) are my favourites. In fact, I have written articles about several music directors in my other blog, before I started this blog.
Indeed, please send your lyrics and narrations to me by e mail.

Atul,
Appreciate if you can post following Rafi song from Shimla Road,
Pajama tung hai kurta dhila
Ghazab hai uspe dupatta nila
Dilip
March 9, 2011 at 12:22 am
Hi Atul: Madan Mohan’s film Dil Ki Rahen (1973) has one of the most beautiful ghazals featuring Lata Mangeshkar’s enchanting voice and very captivating sitar passages. It is “Rasme Ulfat Ko Nibhaye.” There is no original video available, but I tried to combine some lovely dance clips with the audio track; you may want to take a look at it:
August 29, 2011 at 10:49 am
Just saw the video. It is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
December 9, 2011 at 8:22 pm
Hi, I am shearing this video on facebook with lots of thanks.
With regards

Atul, congratulations on the change of template for the site. It looks a little different from what we are used to, but I am sure we will get used to it .
April 10, 2011 at 10:57 pm
The same theme was in use for more than two years, so change was needed. At the same time, I have chosen a theme that keeps most features of the earlier theme intact.
April 10, 2011 at 10:57 pm
Atul, I just realized that I am not able to see the tags that we have for the songs in the new template. Could you please look into it? They add so much meaning to every post .
April 10, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Tags are there at the bottom of each post. Let me see if it can be brought up to the top.
April 12, 2011 at 1:52 pm

April 12, 2011 at 2:00 pm
I have received them all and I will discuss all these songs soon.
May 17, 2011 at 11:06 am
Hi
Nice blog. I wonder if you can present something on the line of version songs. These are the songs which were recorded in the voice of different singers but only one was used in the film. e.g. “Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi” from “Bhabhi” that we have been listening to is the Rafi version, but the song was also recorded in Talat’s voice. There are many such songs. If someone can come up with these it would be very interesting and different.
While reading R D Burman’s biography I came to learn that there were quite a few songs he recorded that were not used in the film for which the recording was done. Does anyone have these songs? I would definitely like to hear these.
May 17, 2011 at 12:28 pm
This blog is meant for original songs, not the version songs. The version song of Talat Mehmood (Chal Ud Ja Re panchhi) was not recorded for the movie “Bhabhi” rather it was a version song created by a competing recording company to take advantage of the popularity of the original Rafi song. Fortunately, such version sining failed to get sustained those days.
I am quite enthusiastic about posting unreleased /excluded songs from movies and one can find many such songs in this blog.
May 31, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Dear Shri Atul,
Your blog is simply great. Your efforts are admirable. The comments given by music lovers are wonderful. To summarise (after going through all the coments, quiries asked, your replies etc) , it is said that upto 70s it was a golden era of music.
I am going through your blog first time and am surprised to see the wonderful collection of film songs. In this regards, I have sent a saperate e-mail to you, asking you some videos of songs. Hope that you might have gone through the same.
Wish you every sucess.
May 31, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Thanks for your kind words. At present I am in a place where even electricity is a luxury, and so is internet. I hope to be back to my prolific best in a weeks time and then I will go through your e mail.
May 31, 2011 at 10:33 pm
Thanks for quick reply. I am hopeful that you will go through my e-mail as soon as you find time.
I will be very much thankful to anybody who contact me on my phone or mobile to share some melodious songs. My contact nos are given here.

Atul ji,
When I try to reach the song “dheere dheere aa re badal….’ from Kismat,I am getting a message ” Error 404″ and not the song.This is happening since about 15 days.
I request you to kindly look into it.
For any other song,there is no problem.
-AD
September 2, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Thanks for pointing it out . Now I have rectified the problem, and you should be able to watch it.
September 3, 2011 at 6:58 am
I had come across such instances a few times but I thought those were temporary glitches.
September 3, 2011 at 7:22 am
Please inform me anytime you notice such things so that I may be able to rectify them.
September 9, 2011 at 7:13 pm
Atul ji,
The film Amaanat is shown in your blog’s movie listings as being released in the year 1977 whereas in the write up for the individual songs its 1965. I think there is some confusion here since even in the IMDb site, its listed as 1977. However without knowing all this, from the feel of the songs I had imagined that these did sound like the 60′s kind of songs. Hence I was surprised when the 1977 figure came up. Does anybody know more and would like to share it ?
September 9, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Even I am surprised at the release year of 1977. The songs sound like 1960s song and I clearly recall listening to the songs of this movie in early 1970s or may be earlier. Based on my guess, I have put the year as 1965. But I am not sure about the exact date. Perhaps the movie was not released for years because of financial troubles and got released only in 1977. But the songs were doing the rounds much earlier than 1977.
September 9, 2011 at 11:19 pm
1)I just checked the censor certificate shown in youtube(of the movie amaanat)The censor certificate date has been mentioned as 31-12-1975.
Below that some guy who uploaded the video written its release date as 01.01.1977.
2)I know another movie namely ULFAT KI NAYEE MANZILEIN, which was produced in the year of 1968 and released by the hero of the film Raj kumar in 1994.Starcast of the film :Waheeda Rehmaan,Sadhana:music-Kalyanji anandji
3)Another movie comes to my mind is LOVE AND GOD produced in 1960`s and released in 1986(starring jayant,sanjeevkumar,nimmi,pran,simmi garewal,polson,katana,
amjad khan,agha,samson,murad
directed by K.asif, completed and released by his wife
September 10, 2011 at 1:38 am
Atul ji, Subhash ji, Prakash ji,
The release date of the film is correctly stated by Prakash ji as 31.12.75.
The HMV web site (www.saregama.com) lists the release of records for this film as 31.12.1970.
This is one of the films that was delayed by many years on account of poor health of Sadhna, the heroine. Sadhna had serious thyroid problems and she traveled to US for treatment.

September 10, 2011 at 10:17 am
Prakash ji,
Since you have mentioned the name “Love and God”,here is some trivia.
To start with, the film started with Nalini Jayawant and Bharat Bhushan.Later the team changed(after shooting 1 reel),to Nimmi and Dilipkumar.After another 1 reel shooting Dilip kumar(when he started giving trouble for dates-despite K.Asif being his fast friend)was replaced with Guru dutt and due to the death of Guru dutt,Sanjeev Kumar was taken.

September 10, 2011 at 4:37 am
Atul ji,Prakashchandra ji, sudhir ji
Thank you for your well researched responses.
Films done in one era and getting released in another era sounds unbelievable but deliciously true. Almost like Dinosaurs being found but in a pleasant way.

I clicked on “Sapan suhaane” song “chaand kabhi tha baahon mein”, but one message ” Error 404 – not found” comes

Hi Atul,
Thanks for the wonderful collection. Its a treasure trove!
Can you pl. consider adding following 2 songs which I love:
1. He re kanaiya, kis ko kahega tu maiya?
2. Kahe ko bulaya muje baar baar, pyar mein naam se.
Thanks.
October 21, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Welcome to this blog !
These two songs have been added long back
He re Kanhaiyya kisko kahega tu maiyya(Chhoti Bahu)
Kaahe ko bulaaya mujhe baalmaa pyaar ke naam se (Hamshakal)
October 22, 2011 at 8:29 am
I visited your blog just yesterday only and I was highly impressed.
I have also made a collection of over seven hundred bolywood songs (only audios) based on different RAAGAs and could imagine the enjoyment in getting involved in such type of work.
Wish you all the best
-diwakar
October 22, 2011 at 8:56 am
Thanks a lot for your encouraging words. Yes, getting involved in projects like this gives creative satisfaction. This blog has by now become a teamwork of a few likeminded individuals.
April 18, 2012 at 11:35 am
Diwakar ji, it might be a good idea to have a section on this blog with the RAAG the song is based on. You might want to discuss this with Atul ji to implement it in this blog.
April 18, 2012 at 12:36 pm
If someone volunteers to tell me about the raags of various songs, I will include that fact with the songs.
April 18, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Yippee!! Diwakar Ji, please get in touch with Atul Ji.
October 28, 2011 at 4:52 pm
I came across this blog today…. I have gone through few of the posts and have decided to follow regularly.
Great collection of songs and related information!!!
For people like me who love old Hindi music, this is such a treat!!
November 2, 2011 at 2:38 am

No one has responded to your query. With very little clue to go by, the only way to find this song is to accidentally stumble upon it.
November 6, 2011 at 10:08 pm
Hi,
I stumbled upon this website by chance..
My dad and me are great followers of Old Hindi songs..this site is indeed a treasure trove..
Our hearty congratulations for this monumental effort of yours..keep up the good work sir!!!
Looking forward to your future posts sir..

December 23, 2011 at 6:17 am
You are right Atulji,
If I had that opportunity, I would have taken that degree, not my mathematics/statistics. Lekin koi baat nahin. Ab to aap ka yeh blog with yours and Arunji, Prakashji, Shdhirji, Nahmji, Mem Didi, and all other contributors’ detailed info, I am getting everything that I always had wanted. Thanks for that.

April 18, 2012 at 11:32 am
If these courses were offered back then, I am sure at least 10 contributors of this blog would have come out with flying colors .
December 26, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Atul please delete category of songs. As it serves no purpose because there are glaring omissions. Instead give this space to recent comments.
December 27, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Hi Atul,
I stumbled upon this blog when searching for surprisingly unheard song of “meri duniya hain maa” by SD coming in the ads recently.
This blog has brought me back my childhood memories. Radio, vividh bharati and old hindi songs used to be our favourite time during school vacations. Later the chhayageet and chitrahar.. we used to collect lyrics from friends/relatives and even trying to write them down while songs were being played on radio/tv. I am almost reliving my childhood days while going through your blog and recollecting many gems which I had almost forgotten. It is great to read your experiences and thoughts about the songs too. Hadn’t known much about pre-1950 era except that it was dominated be K L Saigal. good to know about that period more through your blog.
Thanks for bringing back my childhood memories and hats off to your love and dedication towards the old songs and the blog!! Amazing work !!!
December 28, 2011 at 5:47 am
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I too have learnt a lot, especially about songs of the earlier era,while searching for them.
December 28, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Atul ji,
There seems to be a change in the URL of this blog.
This is much better one.Short and sweet.
atulsongaday.me instead of

Good.

Good to see you here Manobala. I have watched and enjoyed quite a few of your on screen acting. It is nice to see that you are a die hard old hindi songs fan. If you are in Chennai, we could meet up sometime, and maybe even start a Atul’s Blog offline chapter for Chennai .
January 30, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Dear Atul, hopefully you can provide me full lyrics with an english translation for this song.
“Tera Naam Lene Ki”
from film : Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ki.
I already search for it in internet, but no result. Hopefully you can assist me. Thanks a lot.

January 30, 2012 at 7:15 pm
What movie is this ? If it is an old movie (before 1990), then we in this blog may be interested in searching for this song.
February 21, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Hi,
I am subscribed to this blog & as much as I love it, I just think to be inundated with 5-6 emails each containing a different song is a bit too much. It clutters my inbox & inevitably many a times I end of quick deleting emails without looking at the song & its details. That really takes the fun out it & actually is a waste of all hard work that contributors are putting in. I hop there are others who feel the same way. Can we have a daily subscription of just one song or may a summary email of all songs in one email that points out to link or something. Please consider there are people who will have varied interests & are subscribed to daily emails for news, finance, religious etc. Most of them are one email a day.
Hope this can be changed.
Regards

I am checking because I had sent you a write up on a Ram Rajya (1943) number “Bhaarat ki ek sannari ki hum katha sunaate hei.n” on 02 April 2012 … and am not sure if you have seen it.
I am sure you are very busy – and there is no hurry on my side either – I just wanted to make sure that my e-mail has reached you.

Visited your blog for the first time today.
I am looking for complete song TUM JO HUMARE MEET NA HOTE Movie AASHIQ (1962) sung by MUKESH
The original song has three stanzas but I find only two stanzas on you tube.Third stanza
Sooni dagar ka ek sitara, jhilmil jhilmil roop tumhara.
I have not found anywhere. could you please help.
DK Sharma
I was not even aware of the fact that this song has an additional stanza. Now that you have made us aware of this fact, we will look for this song with full lyrics.
June 21, 2012 at 8:35 pm
The missing stanza ‘sooni dagar ka ek sitara’ is the second stanza followed by third stanza ‘ji karta hai ud kar aaoon’. The record version has all the three stanzas.

Atulji ka likhaa huaa alternate connection ka idea mann mein aayaa aur Friday shaam ko jhat se jaake airtel broadband ka conneciton ke liye apply kiyaa aur monday afternoon ko jaake Airtel broadband dwaaraa connection paake,dopahar ke 4 baje blog mein enter karke, message karke,RAAHAT ki saans liyaa.
Ab bhi main comments sab paas karne ke liye raat aur jaldi subah ghar ka ye broad band hi use kar saktaa hoon.
Dinn ke waqt mein comments pass nahin kar saktaa hoon.
Dinn ke waqt,Office waala Tata photon connection se sirf main blog ka cache file(text only)version dekh saktaa hoon.
Bhagwaan karein phir iss tarhaa mujhe blog se koyee door nahin kar sake.
Aap sab logon se itne dinn door rehke main main achchi tarhaa se jaan gayaa hoon, ke aap log mere liye kitnaa maayne rakhthe hain.
Again I want to tell you, I MISSED you people like anything.
Thanks for so much of LOVE and affection.
Regards
Prakash

Welcome back.We missed you here.
August 27, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Thank you Arunji
Kuchch maine galat kaam kyaa hogaa, issee liye bhagwaan ne mujhe ye punishment diyaa hogaa, yehi soch rahaa tha main pichchle week bhar.
August 27, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Ab mujhe pata chala ki ye blog mein itna andhera kyun thha. 
“Arun” (suraj) ka “Prakash” nahin aur “chanda” ki chaandi nahin thi itne din ke liye. “Blackout Days”. Now we can sing, “gaya andhere hua ujala…..” 
Welcome back.
BTW, when we were in India last time, my boys got Tata photon for our tour to Southern India, but worked only sometimes. They called, went to the store, complained, but nothing worked. You can imagine, how miserable, frustrated, 
they were without internet!!!
August 27, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Thank you Khyati ji for the affectionate words.
Main sabhi internet ka kaam kar paa rahaa tha, par mere favourite sites ko jaa hi nahin paa raha thaa.
Meraa bhi aapke bachchon jaisaa hi haal thaa, teek se khaana bhi hazam nahin ho rahaa tha.
Main abhi Madanmohan ji aur Lataji ka “Maharajaa” walaa gaanaa gaa rahaa hoon
“Tumse (Aap logon se) bichchdkar chain kahaan hum paayenge, socho toh…..tum(aap log hi hamaari manzil”
I hope phir se mujhe woh dinn dekhnaa na pade

Last weekend, i was also in Karnataka. I had the same issues with Tata photon. Everything else was available, but this blog, only cached copy was opening.
Another problem i had, with subscription. I was not getting mailers of new posts for almost two weeks. Today the mailers have started coming.
August 30, 2012 at 12:18 am
O Thank you nahmji for responding,
Toh main akelaa nahin thaa,hamdard aap bhi the, mere saath saath.
Kal main phir se jaake photonwaalon se jhagdaa karke connection cancel karne ki baat ki, aaj raat ko phir se photon dwaaraa mujhe blog ka connectivity mil rahaa hai.
Thank you Tata Photonwaalon Mera jeevan phir se haraabharaa kiyaa aap logon ne.
Thank God for this mercy.

If we click the cursor on the song from

Atul ji,
A song ‘Pyar milege na jab kahin’ was posted by Sudhirjee on 25-9-2011.It was a song from film “Woh koi aur hoga”-1967.I had written comments on the film.
This film is not featuring either in the movie list nor yeawise list.
This was brought to my notice by Khyati ji.
Kindly do the needful.

Dear Atul ji,
And all dear friends on this blog,
What is needed today is a thunderous applause — 
YAAHOO, YIPPEE, YANKAA . . . .
Yesterday,the visitor’s ticker hit the FOUR MILLION mark. And today morning we are already more than 2,500 number beyond that.
It is an absolutely fantastically incredibly tremendously marvellously superbly terrifically wonderfully excellently fabulously great milestone to hit.
This milestone says how important and how popular this blog has become on the internet, and how important it is in the lives of so many people around the world.
Hearty and loving congratulations to the entire team. The dogged (pun intended ) consistency of Atul ji, and the relentless support of the entire group of contributors has made it possible.
Reaching this milestone established that our blog is the number 1 destination on the internet for Hindi film music.
Cheers and celebrations
Sudhir
December 12, 2012 at 10:39 am
Dear Sudhir,
I have been keeping a watch over the visitors’ ticker for the last few days wanting to see the changing the figure to 4 million mark. But I failed to notice when the time was ripe to see the figure changing.
Thank you for bringing this to the notice of the readers.
I share your sentiments expressed in your comments.
December 12, 2012 at 10:53 am
Sudhir ji,
Just like Kamath ji,I was also keeping an eye on the tickler,but missed THE moment.
Thanks for giving us this news.
Atul Ji, CONGRATULATIONS.
WE are wholely,fully,completely,entirely,wholeheartedly and wilingly with you ,while feeling Proud for being a part of the Team.

December 12, 2012 at 11:00 am
Sadanand ji, Arun ji,
I was closely watching it yesterday, and when it hit the 4 million in the evening, I immediately called up Atul ji and congratulated him. Vijaylaxmi ji, the ex-announcer from Radio Ceylon was with me at home at that time, and we both talked with Atul ji. (I am going to write it up in a post maybe later today).

Kudos to Atul Ji, Sudhir Ji, Arun Ji, Sadanand Ji, Khyati Ji, Nahm Ji, Derubala Ji, Peevsies Mom Ji, Raja Ji, Nitin Ji (I am sure I am missing lot more contributors). All of you need a BIG pat on your backs. I cannot think of more adjectives than mentioned by Sudhir Ji above.
I know I use Yippeeee! when all songs from a movie are covered, but this milestone calls for a Yippeeee! too. . I am so happy and proud to be part of this blog. Love it!

Oh, I missed the “turn of the counter” that day but I am no less thrilled for the stupendous achievement of this 4 million milestone! Like every drop makes up an ocean, every hit makes up this milestone. It doesn’t come by magic!
It also shows how much loved this blog is – all around the world. Sure, there are other song blogs/sites out there but this place has earned a reputation for itself. A reputation of reliability for what’s put out here, a reputation for covering long-forgotten yesteryear songs, a reputation for being a place where ALL are welcome to share their thoughts and passion for old Hindi songs.
All this is thanks primarily to Atul and his dedication. Day in and day out. And of course others who’ve joined the “caravan”. It is a moment to celebrate, no doubt.
I’ll try to keep an eye out for the 5-million number. I don’t think it will be a very long wait.

You posted “Kaun veerane mein dekhega bahar,” by K L Saigal, only yesterday on Dec 21, 2012, and the search facility provided on the blog does NOT show it! Can we not look for the songs posted, datewise?
December 23, 2012 at 10:36 am
This song was posted on 6 august 2011 and not on dec 21 , 2012. It is a Non Film Song and it can be seen in moviewise list under “Non Movie Songs”.
December 23, 2012 at 11:39 pm
Atulji,
Please ref to #305 above.It dates a year back. I was not aware that correspondence is going there also. Just the other day I happened to go thru’ it. I feel so sorry as I could not be of any use to you earlier. But better late than never.
More than 700 songs (audio) from bollywood films I have classified under 81 raagaas, and they recorded on a DVD. I can send this DVD to an address suggested by you.I do not know whether they are available on YT.
On your suggestion I shall send it to you by courier. If it interests you I may add that I have prepared a CD of 50 ASHA-LATA (only) duets.
I know you are very prompt in leaving a reply.

i wanted to ask you the process by which the song counter is updated. as also how you add a movie or song to the “list of songs- moviewise” as also to the list of year wise etc. do you do it manually.?
if its manually then it is a lot of work. gr8 job by you

“Morni ne seekhaa, hamse hi seekha”Iss gaane ke tag mein movie kaa naam “Jaag utha insaan” Ke badle wrongly “Insaan jaag uthaa” aisaa likhaa hai.
Issee wajah se ye gaanaa “list of songs movie wise” mein wrongly “Insaan jaag uthaa” movie kaa hai, aisaa dikhthaa hai,
Please, whenever you find time Correct keejiye.
January 9, 2013 at 11:40 am
Atul ji,
please tell me what steps are to be taken if I want to see and read songs posted on say,14th march 2012 ?
January 10, 2013 at 1:31 am
Arunji,
On the right side, after the “Category of Songs” and just above the Blogroll, there is a category called “Archives”. I use that, as it is by month, so very easy to search song of a particular day. Atulji may show you the easiest way better than this.
January 10, 2013 at 8:40 am
Go to the archives section on the right column (as described by Khyati jee). Select the month and click. You will get the songs for that month in descending order (ten songs in a page). If there are say 200 songs in that month, then there will be twenty such pages and you can reach these pages by clicking the “older entiries” or “newer entries” link. It sounds confusing at first, but it is easy once you learn how to do it.
January 10, 2013 at 10:10 am
Atul ji,
I used to do that for last 2 years now,but these days the “older entries’ or ‘Newer Entries” does not appear,that is why I asked you.
Anyway,i will keep on trying the same way….

Another long pending correction:
Now the music director`s name of Arth(1982) songs has to be credited with the name of Music duo Jagjit Singh & chitra singh (and NOT as a creation of kuldeep singh)
Again while we run the option list of movies alphabetically, the name in front of 3 songs of Arth is displayed as creations of Kuldeep singh, Which has to be corrected as Jagjit singh & chira Singh
