Likho padhoge to aage badhoge

Posted by: on: June 25, 2009


In olden days, Indians subscribed to very simplistic philosophies. One such philosophy was “Likhoge padhoge banoge nawab, khologe koodege hoge kharaab” ( Rough translation-Studies will make your life, sports will mar it) .

Such songs may sound like preaching or moralising in today’s world, but the messages carried in such idealistic songs were actually taken seriously those days.

This song is written by Hasrat Jaipuri and composed by Khayyam.This song is sung by Rafi and Lata and picturised on Honey Irani and Sheikh Mukhtar and these actors get to utter a few words too, and thus they become eligible to be described as singers of this song. This song is from a movie called “Barood” (1960)

song- likho padhoge to aage badhoge (Barood) (1960) Singers-Lata, Rafi, Sheikh Mukhtar, Honey Irani, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Khayyam

Lyrics

b se bolo kyaa hotaa hai
bahaadur

likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam
samjhe naa

chhutti mile to khilaunon se khelo
chhutti mile to khilaunon se khelo
jaldi se phir tum kitaabon ko le lo
jaldi se phir tum kitaabon ko le lo
ji naa churaao
baaten naa banaao
jaahil rahoge to hoge badnaam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

alif se bolo kyaa hotaa hai
ullu
o imaan
duniyaa mein dekho imaandaar rahnaa
duniyaa mein dekho imaandaar rahnaa
jhooth nahin achchhaa sadaa sach kahnaa
jhooth nahin achchhaa sadaa sach kahnaa
dil ko kisi ke tum na dukhaanaa
aisi hi neki karo subah-shaam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

achchhaa bolo b se kyaa hotaa hai
bandar
hmm bahaadur
banke bahaadur tum apne watan ke
banke bahaadur tum apne watan ke
nigehbaan haan rahnaa tum apne chaman ke
nigehbaan haan rahnaa tum apne chaman ke
isko sambhaalo gale se lagaa lo
ho aazaad ab to na honaa phir ghulaam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

achchhaa munnaa bolo te se kyaa hotaa hai
teetar
taqdeer
taqdeer kyaa hai tum isko bhulaa do
taqdeer kyaa hai tum isko bhulaa do
ilm hunar se andhere mitaa do
ilm hunar se andhere mitaa do
badhte chalo tum qadam ko milaa ke
phir aayegi manzil karegi salaam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

m se bolo kyaa hotaa hai
murgaa
mazdoor
mazdoor nikle hain taan ke seenaa
ye mazdoor nikle hain taan ke seenaa
tum bhi karo kuchh aur seekh lo jeenaa
tum bhi karo kuchh aur seekh lo jeenaa
mehnat karoge samjhe haan
to phal bhi milegaa
badon ne kahaa hai aaraam hai haraam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

While searching for the link of the above song, which was not working, i found this part -2 of this song, wherein Sudhir and Kumkum are lip syncing to Rafi & Lata’s voice respectively, while searching for Honey Irani (hope I am correct),
This part-2 has a repeat of stanza 3- ban ke bahadur … of part -1 and one extra stanza which is given below the link ;
part-2

banke bahaadur tum apne watan ke
banke bahaadur tum apne watan ke
nigehbaan haan rahnaa tum apne chaman ke
nigehbaan haan rahnaa tum apne chaman ke
isko sambhaalo gale se lagaa lo
ho aazaad ab to na honaa phir ghulaam
likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

likho-padhoge to aage badhoge
sitaaron se uunchaa tumhaaraa hogaa naam

kuchh to bataao
kahaan kho gaye ho
kuchh to bataao
kahaan kho gaye ho
baat kya huyi jo
khafaa ho gaye ho
baat kya huyi jo
khafaa ho gaye ho

munh na chhuppao
surtiyaa dikhaao

sun lo hamaare ye dil ka
payaam

sha se bolo kya hota hai

munna jawaab do o

sher …..

With this multiple version the total no of songs of this film should be Eight.
I think correction is required in HFGK which mentions ‘aise na munh chhupaao..’ , wrongly as part-2 (of the song likho padhoge) , whereas ‘aise na munh chhupaao’ is totally a different song.
( Kindly review and advice please)
