#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
—————————————————————————
Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.
Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.
Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.
This song is from the film ‘Hamaari Kahaanee-1973’. This movie was directed by B.V. Algikar for Navprakash Chitra, Bombay. It had Master Shripad, Baby Ragini, Master Vinayak, Master Kiran, Sulochana, Abhi Bhattacharya, Dhoomal and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists three songs for this movie, leaving space for possibility of more songs in this movie. Two songs are written by Asad Bhopali, and one song is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar. Music for this movie is composed by C. Arjun. The singers for this movie are Usha Mangeshar, Manna Dey and Mohd Rafi.
The lyricist for the today’s song is Asad Bhopali and what a wonderful lyrics he has come up with. This composition is by C. Arjun the underrated music composer of Hindi Films who has given us many unforgetteble songs. I think this song fits very much for today’s occasion when we remember Manna Da on his Remembrance Day here.
Let us listen to this song now…
Song-Nekee ke kaam kar zindagee yahee hai (Hamaari Kahaaani)(UR)(1973) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Asad Bhopali, MD-C Arjun
Lyrics
nekee ke kaam kar r r r r
r r r r
nekee ke kaam kar
zindagee yahee hai
bandon se pyaar kar
bandagee yahee hai
nekee ke kaam kar
zindagee yahee hai
bandon se pyaar kar
bandagee yahee hai
nekee ke kaam kar
bujhte dilon ko
jo raushnee de
jo pyaar baante
jo zindagee de
bujhte dilon ko
jo raushnee de
jo pyaar baante
jo zindagee de
wo aadmee hai
wo devtaa hai
tu farz apnaa kyun
bhoolaa huaa hai
nekee ke kaam kar
zindagee yahee hai
bandon se pyaar kar
bandagee yahee hai
nekee ke kaam kar
duniyaa hai sangam
nekee badee kaa
aayeenaa hai dil
har aadmee kaa◦◦
duniyaa hai sangam
nekee badee kaa
aayeenaa hai dil
har aadmee kaa
koyee naheen hai
dushman kisee kaa
tu khud hee dushman hai
apnee khushee kaa
nekee ke kaam kar
zindagee yahee hai
bandon se pyaar kar
bandagee yahee hai
nekee ke kaam kar r r r
