Now I am wondering about the coincidence. I was going to write about the song called “ja re jare ud ja panchi..” from the film Maaya, sung by none other than our Lata , and simultaneously other sweet song which I heard always on vividhbharti in the morning slot hummed in my head, and the humming was just so much that I had to write about it and get over with it. This song used to usually be towards the end of the vividhbharti ‘playlist’ , when I used to finish a wholesome breakfast and lingering over the tea, before leaving to catch an early train for the 7.50 lecture at Ruparel. (See I have already started to digress )
Hare rama (my cuss word ) I am going to start writing about movies and food next please...sab kuch aa jata hai usme, grating , desiccating or dissecting a song just becomes too much after a while, as no adjectives are perfect enough and the amount of adjectives are complete enough to describe the song. But this song had to be there before I moved on. So I googled this song (as usual) and I found out...wow, this song is from the same movie. Its called “aye dil kahan teri manzil” sung by dwijen mukherji (the voice errily sounded like Hemant kumar), the voice that could have been mistaken for Hemant kumar but yes definitely a bit more finer .The music for this movie was given by Salil Choudhary and song written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. This song is simple, its mature, its what life is decribed all about. I liked the chorus especially ‘ai dil kahan teri manzil...’. the chorus too acts like a filler in between the pauses. The music not too loud but complimenting the song to the right degree. The song itself is sung on high note and only a golden era singer can perform the feat , if it would have been today, first and foremost such a music would not have been created and even if it would be, we would have had two singers sharing the space. No I have nothing against todays music, but yes I would definitely like to say that if we forget todays most songs that easily...and rarely those of earlier generation...what does that indicate...nopes I am not the right person to judge, mainly since I remember a songs once heard, together with film, and at times story of the movie (again digressing). This song for me seems like a rhetorical question , wondering about fickleness of life and kicks and licks life gives us. A wondering of why a thing happens, incomprehensibility and confusion.
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
naa koyi deepak hai naa koyi taaraa hai
gum hai zameen door aasmaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
naa koyi deepak hai naa koyi taaraa hai
gum hai zameen door aasmaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
kis liye mil mil ke dil tootate hain
kis liye ban ban mahal tootate hain
kis liye dil tootate hain
ho kis liye mil mil ke dil tootate hain
kis liye ban ban mahal tootate hain
kis liye dil tootate hain
patthar se poochhaa sheeshe se poochhaa
Khaamosh hai ye sab ki zabaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
dhal gaye naadaan wo aanchal ke saaye
rah gaye raste mein apne paraaye
rah gaye apne paraaye
ho dhal gaye naadaan wo aanchal ke saaye
rah gaye raste mein apne paraaye
rah gaye apne paraaye
aanchal bhi chhoota saathi bhi chootaa
na hamsafar na caarwaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
naa koyi deepak hai naa koyi taaraa hai
gum hai zameen door aasmaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
naa koyi deepak hai naa koyi taaraa hai
gum hai zameen door aasmaan
ai dil kahaan teri manzil
The next song is of course sung by our dear ol Lata Mangeshkar called”Jaa re jaa re ud jaa re panchchi” This song talks about disappointments in love, definitely not a rhetorical question like the ‘aye dil..’ but one that explains why love was not fruitful, of wondering why al dreams crashed but the pain is still lingering.
jaa re, jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
kyun ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re, jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
kyun ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re
naa daali rahi naa kali
ajab gham ki aandhi chali
udi dukh ki dhool raahon mein
naa daali rahi naa kali
ajab gham ki aandhi chali
udi dukh ki dhool raahon mein
jaa re ye gali hai birhan ki
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
kyun ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re
main veenaa uthaa naa saki
tere sang gaa naa saki
dhale mere geet aahon mein
main veenaa uthaa naa saki
tere sang gaa naa saki
dhale mere geet aahon mein
jaa re ye gali hai ansuwan ki
wahaan roke dekh jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
kyun ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re, jaa re ud jaa re panchhi
bahaaron ke des jaa re
yahaan kyaa hai mere pyaare
kyun ujad gayi bagiyaa mere man ki
jaa re
This song was first heard by me on ‘masti’ and never failed to marvel me with the simplicity and complexity of the same voice called Lata Mageshkar. Seemingly simple singing but one that will actually make to search from breaths, especially the start...with “jaa re” and the next “jare jare panchi..” a different mix of sudden slow and sudden fast, the highs and lows of the song strangely in line but no flat lines...wow...
