About this blog
I am Atul, an India based male in my 40s.My interests are similar to the interests of a typical Indian- Bollywood, cricket, politics etc.
I already have two blogs under my belt- squarecutsblog.blogspot.com is where I discuss music in general, and I used atulblog.wordpress.com for humour. Now I felt the need for a blog where I could express my admiration of certain bollywood songs that I simply love.
In this blog I will discuss some wonderful songs that I have had the privilege of listening to, over the years.Here I will discuss the songs, (including its lyrics and its translation into English), and my reasons why I like the song.I hope that there are many like minded people who will find these discussions interesting.
Your comments are welcome. Or you may email me at squarecut.atul@gmail.com
Now you can email me at contact@atulsongaday.me
Update ( on 3 october 2008 )
I thank all the visitors of this blog for their encouragement. This blog has been regularly clocking more than 300 visits daily ( best being 506 visits a day). The home page now has a google page rank of 4. Many individual posts ( posted before 14 septeber 2008 ) now have google page ranks of 3 and some even 4. All this is entirely because of the readers of this blog.
I take this opportunity to thank all my visitors and I assure you all that I will try to live up to your expectations in future also. Please give your suggestions so that I may be able to improve this blog, which is a labour of love for me.
Update on 1 January 2009
I wish all my readers and their near and dear ones a happy new year. May this new year be the best ever for you.
I thank all my readers for patronising this blog and encouraging me by their visits, comments, and farmaishes.
Thanks to your encouragement, this labour of love now has as many as 480 outstanding Bollywood songs ( as on 1 january 2009) and growing at a good pace. This blog is clocking over 500 visits daily ( maximum being 995 in one day).
I thank all my visitors once again and assure you all that I will continue to bring more such songs regularly for your reading, listening and viewing pleasures.
Update on 12 november 2009
Now, the blog has over 2150 songs as on now. The traffic has also increased. Now the blog gets over 1500 hits a day on an average and the highest hit in a day has been 2301. The blog does very well on search engines for relevant searches. It is heartening to see the blog growing so nicely. Hopefully we will have exciting days ahead of us.
Update on 28 march 2010
Since november 2009, when I posted my last update, I have slowed down in my rate of posting. Still, 2365 number of songs as of now is quite a lot of songs.
I find that the number of visitors to this blog has stabilised to an average figure of around 1500 visits daily (2320 being the highest number of visits in a day), which works out to just under 50,000 visitors per month. This blog has received nearly 7,00,000 visits since it was started.
I may have slowed down, but Hopefully it is just the lull before the storm. There are still tens of thousands of great songs yet to be covered which will take a lifetime. In other words, I will be kept busy posting songs for a long long time and there is no possibility that I will be running out of songs to post any time soon.
Acknowledgements:
In this blog, I embed audio/video links from sites like youtube and dailymotion etc. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts and contributions that the uploaders of these songs make in making these songs available to us for our pleasure and enjoyment. Without these links, this blog would not be what it is.
I also provide information about songs that is culled from different sources, mostly by googling. I acknowledge their contributions too, which helps me provide some useful information about the songs that I discuss.
PS- Sometimes I get comments where new visitors ask me to send them various songs. I will like to point it out that this blog is a place to discuss songs and I am not in a position to send links to songs or the songs themselves. As can be seen, this blog is a labour of love where I discuss songs with people (many of them becoming good internet friends with me), and not a place to share download links.
Disclaimer– I would like to believe that I have a sense of humour. Raja in fact has coined a term “Atulism” for this kind of humour. I often love to make light hearted comments about movies, songs, actors etc in my discussion of the songs. They are needed to be taken as such and should not be misconstrued as anything serious. I love to make light hearted observations and those observations need to be treated as such.
It has been made amply clear that this blog is a labour of love where we value the oldtime virtues of honesty and transparancy. By now we have a core group of regulars who are making invaluable contributions voluntarily through various means, viz sending lyrics, writeups, informations etc. Music lovers who are willing to join this music bandwagon are welcome.
Music lovers who are willing to contribute lyrics should ensure that their contributions are original in the sense that they should have listened to the lyrics themselves and noted them down. Please do not send incorrect/ incomplete lyrics copied from elsewhere on internet calling them your contributions. We in this blog are very particular about the completeness and accuracy of lyrics that are being posted.

Here are a couple more Shammi songs.
1. “Main gaoon tum so jao…” from Brahmachari
2. “Aawaz deke hamen tum bulao …” from Professor
3. “Akele akele kahan ja rahe ho …” from An Evening in Paris, and the unforgettable “Yahooo, chahe koi mujhe …” from Junglee.
Somehow Shammi Kapoor got the best songs, always, regardless of who the music director was, and they were always top performers in Binaca Geet Mala.
Keep up the good work. I love this site.

I hope I am not bothering you, but I do have a farmaish for a mother song:

I think it was from a movie called Daadi maa, I could be mistaken though. I think it is sung by Rafi and someone else, maybe Mahendra Kapoor.
Yes, I also realized that “Akele akele kahan …” has already been posted. Thanks for the great job you are doing.

Hi Atul,
I was searching for something and came across this awesome site – what a wonderful collection of songs. I did not know there were people blogging about good old Hindi songs.
I am attempting to understand these genuine artists better by looking at different criteria. I would like to get your input. I wouldn’t talk about songs in the same vein and at the same frequency as you :); but maybe talk about songs as I practice them and look forward to exchanging views.
Thank you for providing such an excellent service.

I have been meaning to post these farmaishes for some time now, but somehow I just listen to the songs daily and forget all about the farmaishes because the songs transport me to another world and another time and everything else gets forgotten!
These are songs from the movie Anubhav:
1. Phir kahin koi phool khila … by Manna Dey
2. Meri jaan mujhe jaan na kaho … by Geeta Dutt
3. Koi chupke se aake … by Geeta Dutt
I think Geeta Dutt passed away around that time, so these may well be her last songs, and I just vaguely remember the songs, but they were all her usual quality – smooth, soft and lilting.
Thanks, Atul.

Atul mian,
Jhumri Tilaiyya se asalam aleikum.
Aap ye na samjhen ki itne din ho gaye aur humne aapke blog ke is zarre ki taraf tavajju hi nahin kiya.
Chaliye, muddatton baad sahi, pesh-e-khidmat hai hamare is chhote se gaon se phir se chand farmaishen.
Kuchh mili-juli nagmon ka guldasta hai, kahin jawaan josh ka leher to kahin zehen ko chhoo lene waali mayoosi.
Jawaan josh ka zikr kahin ho to film Umang se behtar iski numaish milni mushquil hai. Is film ko dekhna ka mauka mujhe bachpan mein mila aur tab ki kuchh yaadein ab bhi inse judi hui hain.
Inke alaawa kuchh mayoosi ke gaanon ka bhi yahan farmaish karne ki jurrat kar raha hoon. Iraada to logon ko mayoos karne ka nahin hain, bairhaal inko bhi aapke blog ke kaabil samajh ke pesh kar raha hoon. In mein dard ka kucch alag hi ehsaas hai.
Aur in mein ek aisa bhi nagma hai jisko agar “nagma-e-dard ka baadshah” ka khitaab diya jaaye to beshaque galat nahin hoga.
Ummeed karta hoon ki aap apne blog mein inhen shaamil karenge… bahut meherbaani hogi…
Aadaab, Raja
1) Sacha pyar ye jhuk nahin sakta (Umang)
2) Pyar pe koi bas to nahin hai (Umang)

2. Tora man darpan kehlaaye … Asha Bhonsle
3. Tora man bada paapi sanwariya re …Asha Bhonsle
I am not sure about the first song, but the second one is from Kaajal and the last one is from Gunga Jumna.
At the current rate of posting, I am sure you will hit your 1000th song before the end of March, and I am the one who hasn’t been able to sit and listen to each song slowly and enjoy them! Keep up the great work.

The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me
The earth has stopped moving, the sky is silent
O my dear, O my dear
You have been kind enough to look at me

And one of my favourites..from Professor…khuli palak mein…
Hold on a bit, hold on a bit
Just listen to the call from my heart before you go
With one eye open you feign anger, with the other closed you show love
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
From the day I have seen you, you have felt like my own
And you have resided in my eyes
And you have resided in my eyes, as a much-loved dream
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
You have tried to hide your love – and failed
I have tried to show my love – and failed
By now the whole world knows about our condition
Now, having come this far, there is no point in going back
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
Don’t think this is due to me, what is achieved by making a big fuss
My heart just wanted to tell you something
My heart just wanted to tell you something, and having said it, I will leave
If you don’t believe me, just read it in my eyes
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
I wonder what I have won and what I have lost
There is a glimpse of acceptance in your eyes, but denial on your lips
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
With one eye open you feign anger, with the other closed you show love
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die
For me it is difficult to live, it is difficult to die

OK, here is another one…another of my favourite songs…Dil ke jharoke mein (from Brahmachari)…
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
Tomorrow your beauty will be someone else’s
But there will still be flashes in my dreams
You will be married off in a palanquin of flowers
But the fragrance of those flowers will remain in my senses
Tomorrow your beauty will be someone else’s
But there will still be flashes in my dreams
You will be married off in a palanquin of flowers
But the fragrance of those flowers will remain in my senses
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
Even now the glasses of wine formed by your sharp lips
Are in my imagination as intoxicating
Even now the shadows formed by your beautiful tresses
Are my companion in the barren, scorching heat/sunshine
Even now the glasses of wine formed by your sharp lips
Are in my imagination as intoxicating
Even now the shadows formed by your beautiful tresses
Are my companion in the barren, scorching heat/sunshine
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved
You may choose to reject my love
I have no complaint against you
There is and will always be a picture of you in my eyes
I will always worship you
You may choose to reject my love
I have no complaint against you
There is and will always be a picture of you in my eyes
I will always worship you
I will place you in the window of my heart
And decorating your memories as a bride
I will always keep them in my heart
Don’t worry, my beloved

Atul,
you might enjoy these songs to see how beautifully Rafi, Asha or Lata sung in other languages. These were very popular also.
Rafi-Lata in this romantic number, film: Guddi
Lata’s emotional rendering of this “missing” someone song
Rafi-Asha giving this lively romantic number
or this gentler teasing from Posti, again Rafi-Asha
In fact, Asha was the main female playback singer in this film.

Atul, here is another song “Badan Pe Sitaare” from Prince. Lovely song. Shammi in his element.
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
When I myself will not be there
Who will you look at bashfully
You will never look at a mirror again
You will worry yourself every day without me
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
There is some fun in getting all dressed up and decked up
Only when there is somebody to admire all this
Otherwise all this beauty is just like fading lamps
There needs to be some lover to die for you
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
The climax of my love for you
Is that I have referred to you as God in all my ecstasy
Let the world now judge
Whether I was wrong or right in calling you so
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace
All decked and adorned in stars
O my beloved, where are you headed
Just come here to me, so that I may be at peace

2. Zara saamne to aaja chhaliye – Rafi
3. Chhup gaya koi re door se pukarke – Lata?
4. Tu chhupi hai kahan main tadapta yahan – Manna De (Navrang)
Thanks for all your efforts.
