Ae mere watan ke logon
Posted on: January 26, 2011
I have discussed many patriotic songs from Hindi movies in this blog. But one of the most popular of all Hindi patriotic songs in a non movie song. This song , “ae mere watan ke logon” was created by C Ramchandra to boost the morale of the Indian Army who were then fighting external aggression against heavy odds.
This song was famously sung in front of the then India Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and it brought tears to his eyes.
This song still has that effect. Indians, who listen to this song can still be moved into tears on listening to this patriotic song. The lyrics of this song is written by that poet par excellence Pradeep, and his nationalistic fervour is in full view in this song.
And the rendering of this song by Lata is simply out of this world.
On the occasion of Indian Republic day, here is this patriotic song par excellence.
Song-Ae mere watan ke logon zara aankh mein bhar lo paani (Non movie patriotic song ) (1962) Singer-Lata,Lyrics-Pradeep,MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
aaaa aaaa aaaa
ae mere watan ke logon
tum khoob laga lo naara
ye shubh din hai ham sab ka
lahra lo tiranga pyaara
par mat bhoolo seema par
veeron ne hai praan ganwaaye
kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo
kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo
jo laut ke ghar na aaye
jo laut ke ghar na aaye
ae mere watan ke logon
zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
ae mere watan ke logon
zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
jab ghayal hua Himaalay
khatre mein padi aazadi
jab tak thhi saans lade wo
jab tak thhi saans lade wo
phir apni laash bichha di
sangeen pe dhar kar maatha
so gaye amar balidaani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
jab desh mein thhi diwali
wo khel rahe thhe holi
jab ham baithe the gharon mein
jab ham baithe the gharon mein
vo jhel rahe thhe goli
thhe dhanya javaan wo aapne
thhi dhanya wo unki javaani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
koi Sikh koi Jaat Maraatha
koi Sikh koi Jaat Maraatha
koi Gurkha koi Madraasi
koi Gurkha koi Madraasi
sarhad par marnewaala
sarhad par marnewaala
har veer thha Bhaaratvaasi
jo khoon gira parwat par
wo khoon thha Hindustaani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
thhi khoon se lath-path kaaya
phir bhi bandook uthaake
das-das ko ek ne maara
phir gir gaye hosh ganwa ke
jab ant-samay aaya to
jab ant-samay aaya to
kah gaye ke ab marte hain
jab ant-samay aaya to
kah gaye ke ab marte hain
khush rahna desh ke pyaaron
khush rahna desh ke pyaaron
ab ham to safar karte hain
ab ham to safar karte hain
kya log thhey wo deewaane
kya log thhey wo abhimaani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
tum bhool na jaao unko
is liye kahi ye kahaani
jo shaheed huye hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
jai Hind jai Hind ki sena
jai Hind jai Hind ki sena
jai Hind, jai Hind, jai Hind
