Chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
Posted on: September 12, 2009
“Jeet” (1949) was an idealistic movie released just after India had become an independent nation. Its idealism may look naive today, but at that time, people actiually had high hopes and big aspirations. This movie “Jeet” (1949) must have struck the right chords with its audience at that time, I am sure.
I have posted a song from this movie in the past. Here is another song from this movie. This is a duet sung by Suraiyya and Shankar Dasgupta and picturised on Suraiyya and Dev Anand. Prem Dhawan wrote this song and Anil Biswas composed the music.
In this movie, Suraiyya was called “Jeet” and so the movie was named after her character. Dev Anand is named “Vijay”. Both these names mean the same, viz victory.
It is interesting to listen to (and watch) this song from 60 yeras ago. Shankar Dasgupta, a new singer for me, tries to sing Sehgal style, but who can blame him. Most male singers those days tried to sing that way. And his voice is nice to listen to.
Dev Anand and Suraiyya make for a happy couple. They had a real life romance going at that time and so their on screen chemistry makes for a pleasant viewing.

Lyrics
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
ham qadam badhaate jaayenge
qadam badhaate hanste-gaate
dhoom machaate jaayenge
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
ham qadam badhaate jaayenge
qadam badhaate hanste-gaate
dhoom machaate jaayenge
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
jis path par tum charan dharoge
jis path par tum charan dharoge
apne nain bichhaaungi
tumre path ke kaanton ko
palkon se uthaati jaaungi
tumre path ke kaanton ko
palkon se uthaati jaaungi
jab lag praan rahenge
jab lag praan rahenge
ik-dooje kaa saath nibhaayenge
qadam badhaate jaayenge
qadam badhaate hanste-gaate
dhoom machaate jaayenge
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
is dukhiyaare jag mein tum hi
nainan kaa ujiyaaraa ho
soone-lambe jeewan-path kaa
tum hi ek sahaaraa ho
soone-lambe jeewan-path kaa
tum hi ek sahaaraa ho
tum sang ho to paanv mere
kabhi na thokar khaayenge
qadam badhaate jaayenge
qadam badhaate hanste-gaate
dhoom machaate jaayenge
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho
hamko mil kar is dukhiyaare
jag ko swarg banaanaa hai
hamko mil kar is dukhiyaare
jag ko swarg banaanaa hai
sab apne hain sabko
maanawtaa kaa pyaar sikhaanaa hai
sab apne hain sabko
maanawtaa kaa pyaar sikhaanaa hai
jo sabko ujiyaaraa de
jo sabko ujiyaaraa de
ek aisi jyot jalaayenge
qadam badhaate jaayenge
qadam badhaate hanste-gaate
dhoom machaate jaayenge
chaahe kitni kathin dagar ho

Very nice song. Interesting, seeing Dev Anand in a dhoti, instead of his usual suave appearance.
