Mukesh and his NFS – 05
Sometime back, I had written about Mukesh’s collaboration with composer Lachhiram Tomar. Here is the said post.
As detailed in the post a 33 second couplet as a background rendition on a female character was all that Mukesh sang for the composer in films. The rendition remains uncredited in the film.
I have already covered the composer and his works with Mukesh in the abovementioned post. As such, this post is being continued in my other series on NFS. Needless to say, the post has to be read in conjunction with my earlier post on Lachhiram.
I have written about the two NF bhajans that Mukesh sang for Lachhiram and details of the two NFS are presented again in the table below.
| S. No | Name of the song | Lyricist |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chhod jhamela jhoote jag ka | Madhukar Rajasthani |
| 2 | Ram kare so hoy re manvaa | Madhukar Rajasthani |
I take up the first bhajan in this post as for the second I intend to compile a list of all Shri Ram Bhajans that Mukesh sang in the NF category in a separate post.
Chhod jhamela jhoote jag ka, a devotional bhajan made all the more pious in the pure voice of Mukesh.
Song-Chhod jhamela jhhoothhe jag ka (Mukesh NFS)(1960) Singer-Mukesh, Lyricist-Madhukar Rajasthani, MD-Lachchiram
Lyrics
aa aa aa aa haa
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
keh gaye Daas Kabeer
paar lagaayenge ik pal mein
Tulsi ke Raghuveer
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
bhool bhulaiyya jeevan tera
saancho naam Prabhu ko o
bhool bhulaiyya jeevan tera
saancho naam Prabhu ko o
man mein basa le aaj tu bande
le kar naam Guru ko o
le kar naam Guru ko
Soordas ke Shyam harenge
Soordas ke Shyam harenge
janam janam kee peer
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
tera mera din bhar karta
per tera kachhu naaheen
tera mera din bhar karta
per tera kachhu naaheen
maatee ka ye khel hai saaraa
milega maatee maahee
maatee ka ye khel hai saaraa
milega maatee maahee
Meera jee ke geet bulaayen
Meera jee ke geet bulaayen
sab ko Jamuna teer
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
keh gaye Daas Kabeer
paar lagaayenge ik pal mein
Tulsi ke Raghuveer
chhod jhamela jhoothhe jag ka
