Man darpan hai
Posted on: March 28, 2009
Here is an interesting song from “Dushman” (1939) sung by K L Saigal.
This must be the oldest known Radio song in which an actor goes to a radio station and sings a song. In this song, K L Saigal, the designanted singer, reaches the studio late and finds someone else already singing in his place. K L Saigal wrestles wit that person, throws him out and then sings his song, preceded by an announcement from him to the effect that he was a bit late in arriving.
It is an interesting song in the sense K L Saigal for the first time is seen using his fists like an action hero, or making a radio annoucement like say how Ameen Sayani would do much later.
Coming to the song, it was written by Aarzoo Lucknowi and composed by Pankaj Mullick.

Lyrics
sitam the zulm the aafat the intazaar ke din
hazaar shukr ke dekhenge ab bahaar ke din
hazaar shukr ke dekhenge ab bahaar ke din
aawaaz ki duniyaa ke doston
mujhe der ho gayi
iske liye mujhe afsos hai
aur main aapse maafi maangta hoon
lekin aaj main behad khush hoon
isliye aapko ek aisa geet sunaaoongaa
ready
aa ha aaha haa haa haa haa
man darapan hai jag saaraa
ye jag saaraa
man darapan hai jag saaraa
man andhiyaaraa
jag andhiyaaraa
man darapan hai jag saaraa
aa ha aaha haa haa haa haa
ulti hai ye gyaani duniyaa
dukh kaa sukh kaisaa
ulti hai ye gyaani duniyaa
dukh kaa sukh kaisaa
dukh kaa sukh kaisaa
aisaa
aankhon mein til jaise kaalaa
aankhon mein til jaise kaalaa
roop andheraa
roop andheraa kaam ujaaraa
man darpan hai jag saaraa

In the record version of this song, there is an additional stanza.
Lyrics of additional stanza :
beri gaaye kaise soyen
beri gaaye kaise soyen
kaam kiye din naahin hoye
neeras
dukh ki naiyaa aur khevaiyaa
aap ki naiyaa apni naiyaa
jaal uthaa le maajhi ban jaa
jaal uthaa le maajhi ban jaa
wo hai kinaaraa ye hai dhaaraa
wo hai kinaaraa aa aa aa
ye hai dhaaraa aaa aaa aaa

Not only the radio song is picturised in a light-hearted manner, even the scene preceding the song is comical. Check out in this video clip :
