Jeevan Dor Tumhi Sang Baandhi

Raag Yaman Kalyan has been one of my favorite ones in recent times and subconsciously or otherwise I keep humming songs that are based on this raag so today as I sat down to listen to all of these songs on youtube, and discovered this beautiful melody by none other than Lata Mangeshkar. Oh how I wish I can go to Mumbai and meet her once. Just once. I'd feel more blessed. The song is out of this world and it's thanks to LP music. Bharat Vyas has penned this one. Wish I also got to see the video of the song... absolutely love everything about this one!


jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)
kya toDenge is bandhan ko
jag toofaan aandhi re aandhi

ho na sake kabhi hum tum nyaare (2)
do tan hai ek praaN hamaare
chaahe mile path mein andhiyaare
chaahe ghire ho baadal saare
phir bhi rahoongi tumhaari tumhaari
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi
jeevan dor

(so love the violins here!)

yoon ghul-mil rehna jeevan mein
jaise rahe kajra akhiyan mein
teri chhabi chhaayi rahe man mein
tera hi naam rahe dhadkan mein
tere daras ki main pyaasi re pyaasi
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)

kaisa mujhe vardaan mila hai (2)
tum kya mile bhagwaan mila hai
ab to janam bhar sang rahega
is mehndi ka rang rahega
tere charaN ki main daasi re daasi
jeevan dor tumhi sang baandhi (2)

Jai Raghunandan Jai Siyaa Raam

It's been a while since I heard a bhajan that sounds so good. Absolutely adore the way the singers have sung this one.

And if it reminds you of other songs such as chandan sa badan that's because they're all based on raag yaman.

I completely adore the woman in this song. I have no idea who that is but she looks gorgeous and I love her jewelry too. If anyone knows who the actors are in this song, please do share. I only know that the youngest kid is Daisy Irani.

I am fascinated with the Ravi music and Shakeel Badayuni lyrics here. Wow! it's just amazing...


M: shri raam chandra aashrit paarijaataha
samast kalyaan gunaabhiraamaha
sitaa mukhaamburuhu chancharikaha
nirantaram mangal maatanotu

aa aa aa... aa aa aa... aa aa aa aa aa...
aa aa aa aa aa aa...

M: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam
Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam

F: hey dukhbhanjan tumhe pranaam
Ch: hey dukhbhanjan tumhe pranaam
jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

F: bhraat bhaat ko hey parameshwar sneh tumhi sikhlaate
aa aa aa
aa aa aa... aa aa aa aa (How sweet does she sound!)
bhraat bhaat ko hey parameshwar sneh tumhi sikhlaate
M: nar naari ke prem ki jyoti jag mein tumhi jalaate
Both: o naiyaa ke khevanhaare japu main tumhro naam

Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

M: tum hi dayaa ke saagar prabhu ji tum hi paalanhaare
F: chain tum hi se paaye bekal manvaa saanjh sakhaare
Both: jo bhi tumhri aas lagaaye (2) bane usi ke kaam
Ch: jai raghunandan jai siyaaraam (2)

Woh Jab Yaad Aaye...

LM: आ आ हो हो...

MR: वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये (२)
घम-ए-जिन्दगी के अँधेरे में हमने
चिराग-ए-मोहब्बत जलाए बुझाये
वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये

आहटें जाग उठी रास्ते हंस दिए
थामकर दील उठे हम किसी के लिए
कई बार ऐसा भी धोखा हुआ है
चले आ रहे है वोह नज़रें झुकाए
वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये

LM: वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये
घम-ए-जिन्दगी के अँधेरे में हमने
चिराग-ए-मोहब्बत जलाए बुझाये
वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये

दील सुलगने लगा अश्क बहने लगे
जाने क्या क्या हमे लोग कहने लगे
मगर रोते-रोते हंसी आ गयी है
ख्यालों में आ के वोह जब मुस्कुराये
वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये

MR: वोह जूदा क्या हुए जिन्दगी खो गयी
शम्मा जलती रही रौशनी खो गयी
बहुत कोशिशे कि मगर दील ना बेहला
कई साज़ छेड़े कई गीत गाये
LM: वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये
MR: वोह जब याद आये बहुत याद आये
