Mere Jeevan Mein Kiran Ban Ke Bikharne Waale
27 Mar 2013

Year: 1958
Movie: Talaq
Singer: Asha Bhosle & Manna De
Lyricist: Pradeep
Music Director: C Ramachandra
Lyrics: here

A simple composition showcasing mutual admiration by a couple falling in love. Delightful! The music interleaves western and traditional Indian instruments very smoothly.

The song reminds me of other beautiful songs on togetherness:

  1. Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha (1962, Anpadh)
  2. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain (1976, Balika Badhu)
  3. Yu Hi Kat Jayega Safar (1993, Ham Hain Rahi Pyar Ke)
  4. Rajnigandha Phool Tumhare (1974, Rajnigandha)
  5. Tum Gagan Ke Chandrama Ho (1964, Sati Savitri)

Roman Script

Mere Jeevan Mein Kiran Ban Ke Bikharne Waale
Bolo Tum Kaun Ho, Bolo Tum Kaun Ho
Aankho Aankho Se Man Mein Utarnewaale
Bolo Tum Kaun Ho, Bolo Tum Kaun Ho

Hindi

मेरे जीवन मे किरण बन के बिखरनेवाले
बोलो तुम कौन हो बोलो तुम कौन हो
आँखों आँखों से मन मे उतरनेवाले
बोलो तुम कौन हो बोलो तुम कौन हो

Translation

You have illumined my life like sunshine,
Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are.
Through eyes, you have settled into my heart,
Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are.

Roman Script

(Kya Kisi Dev Ke Bheje Hue Vardaan Ho Tum) - 2
Kya Mere Pichhle Janam Ki Koi Pehchaan Ho Tum
(Dhoondhta Tha Jise Dil Kya Wohi Mehmaan Ho Tum) - 2
Apni Muskaan Se Paagal Mujhe Karnewali
Bolo Tum Kaun Ho, Bolo Tum Kaun Ho

Hindi

(क्या किसी देव के भेजे हुए वरदान हो तुम) -२
क्या मेरे पिछले जनम की कोई पहचान हो तुम
(ढूँढता था जिसे दिल क्या वोही महमान हो तुम) -२
अपनी मुसकान से पागल मुझे करनेवाली
बोलो तुम कौन हो बोलो तुम कौन हो
मेरे जीवन मे ...

Translation

Are you a blessing sent by some god?
Are you a connection from my past life?
Are you the guest (love) whom my heart was seeking?
You make me crazy with your smiles,
Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are.

Roman Script

(Is Tarah Aaj Kyu Lalchaa Rahe Ho Tum Mujhko) - 2
Kidhar Udaake Liye Ja Rahe Ho Tum Mujhko
(Baat Wo Kya Hai Jo Samjhaa Rahe Ho Tum Mujhko) - 2
Chupke Chupke Mere Duniya Ko Badalne Wale
Bolo Tum Kaun Ho, Bolo Tum Kaun Ho

Hindi

(इस तरह आज क्यूँ ललचा रहे हो तुम मुझको) -२
किधर उड़ाके लिए जा रहे हो तुम मुझको
(बात वो क्या है जो समझा रहे हो तुम मुझको) -२
छुपके छुपके मेरे दुनिया को बदलनेवाले
बोलो तुम कौन हो बोलो तुम कौन हो
मेरे जीवन मे ...

Translation

Why are you luring me like this today?
Where are you making me fly today?
What are you helping me understand?
You have quietly changed my world.
Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are.
