Mere des mein pawan chale purwaayi
Posted on: January 15, 2009
Till 1960s,when India was in terrible shape on almost all fronts,and Indians depended on foodgrain imports even to feed themselves, it was the Prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri who decided that India needed to be self sufficient in growing food stuffs. He also gave a slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kissan”.
There were quite a few movie makers who made movies on this theme. Manoj Kumar was the most notable and his “Upkaar” was very much a “Jai Jawaan Jai Kissan kind of movie, and its song “mere desh ki dharti sona ugle” was very much a song of this genre.
The song “Mere des me pawan chale purwaayi” from “Jigri Dost” appears to have been inspired from the “Upkaar” song. The lyrics are similar, and the picturistion also seems to be so, except that Manoj “Bharat ” Kumar is replced by Jeetendra “Jumping jack” here.
And this song, sung by Rafi is written by Anand Bakshi and the music is b Laxmikant Pyarelal. It is quite a feel good song by the standards of 1960s, and one that can cheer the listeners even today.

Lyrics
hurr haa
ho ho
Mere des me
ho mere des me
mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
mere des ko dekhne bhai saari duniya aayi
mere des me
ho mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
jhilmil jhilmil taara chamke
dagmag dagmag naiyaa dole
rimjhim baadal barse raama ho
gungun gungun bhanwre ghoome
jharjhar jharjar jharne jhoome
chamcham baaje paayal raama ho
he
gaiyya naache bansuri bajaaye re Kanhaayi
mere des me
ho mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
jeewan apna sundar sapna
kaun paraaya kaun hai apna
pyaar sabhi ka apne dil me ho
har ik rang ke phool hain khilte
har majhab ke log hain milte
is bagiya me is mahfil me ho
he ham saare hain Bharatwaasi
sab hain bhaai bhaai
mere des me
ho mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
ambuwa ki daali pe koyal
geet sunaaye komal komal
mere baag ki kaliyon ke ho
patjhar mast bahaaron jaise
patthatr bhi hain taaron jaise
mere gaaon ki galiyon ke ho
he mere khet ki matti ne sone ki soorat paayi
mere des me
ho mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
mere des ko dekhne bhai saari duniya aayi
mere des me
ho mere des me pawan chale purwaayi
ho mere des me
hurr haha
ho
