Tora mann darpan kehlaaye...

HFM has some ultra talented people who have been contributing to it, especially when it comes to the music department. And some of them were truly blessed souls who actually did so much good for the mankind via that music that it's hard to even imagine. This number being one of those. The lyricists, the musicians, the singers, and to add to that the beautiful actors and film makers who actually decided to make it all happen. It is songs like these that makes me happy beyond words and make me feel grateful that I was born on the Indian subcontinent and understand and appreciate this beautiful language and music.

This one reminds me of so many other prayer songs. Stumbled upon the youtube video of it while listening to another one. Truly a mind-blowing song!!

aa aa aa...
prani apne prabhu se poochhe
kis bidhi pau tohe
prabhu kahe tu mann ko paa le
paa jaayega mohe

tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)
bhale boore saare karmon ko
dekhe aur dikhaaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)

(mann hi devtaa mann hi ishwar
mann se badaa na koi) (2)
mann ujiyaara jab jab khole
jug ujiyaara hoye
is ujale darpan par praani (2)
dhool na jamne paaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)
bhale boore saare karmon ko
dekhe aur dikhaaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)

(sukh ki kaliyaan dukh ke kaante
mann sab ka aadhaar) (2)
mann se koyi baat chhupe na
mann ke nain hazaar
jug se chaahe bhaag le koyi (2)
mann se bhaag na paaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)
bhale boore saare karmon ko
dekhe aur dikhaaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)

(tann ki daulat dhalti chhaaya
mann ka dhan anmol (2)
tann ke kaaran mann ke dhan ko
mat maati mein rol
mann ki kadar bhulaane wala (2)
heera janam ganvaaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)
bhale boore saare karmon ko
dekhe aur dikhaaye
tora mann darpan kehlaaye (2)
