Nadiya se dariya, dariya se saagar
Posted on: January 21, 2009
This song is a festival song, a “holi” song to be precise. Everyone is seen with some gulaal applied on their faces, and Rajesh Khanna is seated with Asrani. Rekha, with gulaal applied on her cheeks as well, comes with a lota full of bhang and pours Asrani some of it. Rajesh Khanna also proffers his glass forward. Rekha, not interested in pouring him the intoxicant, thrusts the lota on Rajesh Khanna’s hands and departs on a huff, only to be stopped on her tracks when a song begins.
“Nadiya se dariya, dariya se saagar” is a song that is sung on the screen by Rajesh Khanna. Now that I have watched the picturisation of this song as well, only now I have realised that it was a holi-cum-drunk song.
This Kishore Kumar song is written by Anand Bakshi and R D Burman is the music director.

Lyrics
nadiyaa se dariyaa, dariyaa se saagar
saagar se gahraa jaam
saagar se gahraa jaam
ho ho ho jaam mein doob gayi yaaron mere,
jeewan ki har shaam
nadiyaa se dariyaa, dariyaa se saagar
saagar se gahraa jaam
saagar se gahraa jaam
ho ho ho jaam mein doob gayi yaaron mere,
jeewan ki har shaam
jo na piye wo kya jaane,
peete hai kyon ham deewaane yaar ahaa
jab se hamne peenaa seekhaa,
jeenaa seekhaa marnaa seekhaa yaar ahaa
jo na piye wo kya jaane,
peete hai kyon ham deewaane yaar ahaa
jab se hamne peenaa seekhaa,
jeenaa seekhaa marnaa seekhaa yaar ahaa
ho ham jab yoon nashe mein dagmagaane lag gaye
ho ho ho dil ki bechaini ko aayaa thodaa saa aaraam
nadiyaa se dariyaa, dariyaa se saagar
saagar se gahraa jaam
saagar se gahraa jaam
meraa kya main gham ka maaraa, nashe mein aalam hai saaraa yaar ahaa
kisi ko daulat ka nashaa, kahin muhabbat ka nashaa yaar ahaa
o kahkar ai sharaabi sab pukaaren ab mujhe
ho ho ho aur koyi thaa ye to nahin thaa pahle meraa naam
nadiyaa se dariyaa, dariyaa se saagar
saagar se gahraa jaam
saagar se gahraa jaam
ho ho ho jaam mein doob gayi yaaron mere,
jeewan ki har shaam
jaam mein doob gayi yaaron mere,
jeewan ki har shaam

I dont know why, but I just love this song. I find it very addictive. The way Kishore has sung this song is just amazing.
