Today is ‘World Friendship Day’!!! In our culture we have several legends and stories on friendship and the most popular and touching of them is the story of Krishn-Sudama from our mythology. We also have many Hindi Films made on the theme of friendship. We have many songs based on ‘dost’, ‘dostee’, ‘yaar’, ‘yaaree’ etc. etc.
Today’s song is dedicated to the friendship of Lord Krishn and his poor childhood friend Sudama. The song under discussion is penned by Kavi Pradeep. I have listened to it many times while preparing ths writeup. Every time Listening to this song has given me goose pimples every single time. It is a beautiful and touching song describing the visit of Sudama to the palace of his the childhood friend of Lord Krishn visits him in his palace. The two friends are meeting after a long time and as mentioned in the song this meeting is happening after the ‘Mahaabhaarat yuddh’.
Shahu Modak and Nana Palsikar plays Lord Krishn and Sudama respectively. We can see many others present in the picturisation of this song.
This song is from the movie “Balram Shrikrishna-1968”. It was directed Chandrakant for ‘Joy Films’. Chandrakant was also the producer of this movie. Story of this mythological movie was taken from Shrimad Bhagwat Katha. The cast of this movie has Dara Singh, Shahu Modak, Premnath, Nana Palsikar, Randhawa, Azad, Ashish Kumar, Jemini Ganesh, Prithviraj Kapoor, Savitri, Jayshree Gadkar, Geetanjali, Madhumati, Bela Bose, Padma Rani, Sushma, Uma Khosla, Aruna Irani, Sulochana Chatterjee, Babu Raje, Shery, B.M. Vyas, Anand Joshi, Arvind Pandya, Bhalerao, Radheshyam, Pal Sharma and others. Screenplay of this movie was written by Chaturbhuj Doshi and dialogues of this movie were written by Ramesh Pande. Editing of this movie was done by Ram Khade and Vithoba Surve.
“Balram Shrikrishna-1968”has nine songs written by Kavi Pradeep and composed to music by C. Ramchandra. Mahendra Kapoor, Asha Bhonsle, Manna Dey and Kamal Barot had given their voices to the songs in this movie. I do not remember to have watched this movie and neither the songs from this movie seemed familiar to me when I check the list in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970). However I presented a song from this movie last year on 22.02.2023 and another song on 26.08.2024 . While doing so I was introduced to the songs of this movie. So far four songs from this movie have been posted on the blog.
Today we present the fifth song from this movie “Balram Shrikrishna-1968” on the blog. As mentioned above this song is in the voice of Manna Dey. Music is composed by C. Ramchandra. Kavi Pradeep is the lyricist of this song.
Let us now listen to this moving song which gives us a glimpse of a frienship of dwaapar yug.

Lyrics
bahut dinon ke ae
bichhde mitwaa aa
miley hain varshon baad
o o o o
aankhon mein hain
umad padee ee ee
beetey bachpan kee yaaad
beetey…ae bachpan kee yaad
(dialogues not included)
dekho o prabhu kaa
pyaar ye adbhut
swaagat ye abhiraam
aaj banaa hai ae
ik nirdhan kaa
saaraa mahal ghulaam
(dialogues not included)
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
kahaan sudaamaa kahaan ghanshyaam
kahaan sudaamaa kahaan ghanshyaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
bhakt ke paaon prabhu dhotey ae
deen dashaa par hari rotey
jarjar tan pe padey chithhde
talwon mein haaye kaante gadey
prabhu kee aankhon mein saawan …
aansoo ye kitne paawan …
dekh rahee har patraanee ee
sab kee palkon mein paanee
doobee achraj mein duniyaa tamaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
phir bhojan kee ghadee aayee
baithhe donon guru bhaaee
ek hai kutiyaa kaa baasee
ek jagatpati avinaashee
rukmini jee pakwaan dharein aen
satyabhaamaa jee pankhaa karein aen
aisee preet miley sab ko
prabhu saa meet miley sabko o
kitnee hai ye chhavi abhiraam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
raat huyee to bhagat soye ae
sapnon ke lok mein khoye ae
karte dekho sevak ban
nar kee sevaa naraayan
aa aa aa
soch rahe hain yaduraaee ee ee ee
ghar baithhe gangaa aayee
phir lage wo muskaane ae
prabhu kee maayaa aa
prabhu jaanen ae
ho o o o o o
le lee kaakhh se jhat jholee ee
chaawal kee potlee kholee
mitra ke bhaagya ko chamkaane ae
lagey prabhu tandul khaane
phir to sab kuchh hee badlaa aa
bhakt sudaamaa kaa punya phalaa aa
ik waaman ko viraat kiyaa aa
raajaa jaisaa thhaat kiyaa
hain bhagwaan bade daanee
inkaa koyee naheen saanee
chhappar phaadke dete hain
badley mein kuchh naa lete hain
aate sankat mein bas wohee kaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
kahaan sudaamaa
kahaan ghanshyaam
dekho logon ye leelaa lalaam
