Teri sharan padaa hoon daataa…tere pujan ko Bhagwaan
Posted on: June 8, 2009
In Indian thinking, pursuit of money was considered bad and people who had too much money were considered evil. In fact, that stereotyping can be seen very much in older Bollywood movies, where the grocer aka lala ( often played by Kanhaiyalal, Jeewan etc) is always shown as an evil character.
Being a villainous character, this character obviously would not get an opportunity to sing in movies. Here is a rare song which is sung by a lala. Here this role is played by Om Prakash, and he is seen singing a prayer addressed to money, and thus proving his evilness, since good characters are shown singing prayers of Gods , and not of money.
By desi thinking of that time, this was a lighthearted comedy song. This song was written by Rajinder Krishan and its music was composed by Chitragupta. This song was sung by Rafi. This song was from a movie called “Shaadi” (1962).
Song-Teri sharan padaa hoon daata (Shaadi ) (1962) Singer-Rafi , Lyrics- Rajinder Krishan, MD- Chitragupta
Lyrics
teri sharan padaa hoon daata
tu hi pita hai tu hi maata
ham sab tere bachche baale
tu saari duniyaa ko paale
daas bhagat kaa hai ye kahna
darshan nishdin dete rahna
tere pujan ko bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
tere pujan ko bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
chhoti si iss almaari mein jab se tere charan paden
chhoti si iss almaari mein jab se tere charan paden
teri bhakti ki hai maine jaag ke raaten khade khade
chaudi ho jaaye ye almaarih
chaudi ho jaaye ye almaarih de aisaa vardaan
tere pujan ko Bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
tere pujan ko Bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
iss bhookhe ki bhookh mitaa de
iss pyaase ki pyaas bujhaa
iss bhookhe ki bhookh mitaa de
iss pyaase ki pyaas bujhaa
bhar jaaye pet tere darshan se
chakkar aisa koi chalaa
kharach karoon to nagad narayan
kharach karoon to nagad narayan
hai teraa apmaan
tere pujan ko Bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
tere pujan ko Bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
buri hawaa hai iss duniyaa ki
Bhagwan baahar mat jaana
buri hawaa hai iss duniyaa ki
Bhagwan baahar mat jaana
bhoole se kabhi chale gaye to sood ke saath palat aana
saath hamesha lekar jaana
saath hamesha lekar jaana
ye apna darbaan
tere pujan ko bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan
tere pujan ko bhagwaan banaaun bank main aalishaan

Very funny!
Reminds me of a Telugu song from a 1958 movie Appu Chesi Pappu Kudu (not sure if you know Telugu). It is about a guy who fakes being a Sanyasi who had gone to Kaasi and had seen God. While his beau counter attacks him proving every minute that he is a fake.
Here it is:
