Lyrics :-
rahegi na badariya chhaayi
rahegi na badariya chhaayi
honge ek din surya ke darshan
honge ek din surya ke darshan
wohi ghadi ab aayi
wohi ghadi ab aayi
tankha badh gayi hamaari
chaar sau harek maheene
kaam kiya nahin gaye maheene
kaam kiya nahin gaye maheene
phir bhi tankhaa paayi paayi
phir bhi tankhaa paayi
theek kahte ho
Prakash
kya ye sab theek hai
theek hai
main bilkul theek kahta hoon
Dinu bhai
theek
lo
mere paaon ki mitti lo
paaon ki mitti lo
jiji jiji
tum dekh lena
tum dekh lena
ki ek din saari mill hamaari ho jaayegi
hamaari
aaj agar pitaaji jinda hote
Prakash
Deenu Bhai

ek banglaa bane nyaaraa

rahe kunba jismein saaraa
ek banglaa bane nyaaraa
ek banglaa bane nyaaraa
sone kaa banglaa, chandan kaa janglaa
sone kaa banglaa, chandan kaa janglaa
Vishvakarmaa ke dvaara
Vishvakarmaa ke dvaara
sone kaa banglaa, chandan kaa janglaa
Vishvakarmaa ke dvaara
ati sundar pyaaraa pyaaraa
ek banglaa bane nyaaraa
ek banglaa bane nyaaraa
itnaa oonchaa banglaa hoye
maano gagan kaa taaraa
itnaa oonchaa banglaa hoye
maano gagan kaa taaraa
maano gagan kaa taaraa
maano gagan kaa taaraa
jis pe chadh ke indradhanushh par
jhoolaa jhoole chaand hamaaraa
jis pe chadh ke indradhanushh par
jhoolaa jhoole chaand hamaaraa
bhandaar hoye Lachhmi ke haathon mein saaraa
bhandaar hoye Lachhmi ke haathon mein saaraa
paaye ab ji bhar ke sukh jisne bipat uthaayi
paaye ab ji bhar ke sukh jisne bipat uthaayi..
K L Saigal (1904--1947) is considered as the first superstar of the Hindi film industry. Kundan Lal Saigal was born on 11th April, 1904 at Nawa Shahar in Jammu State. His mother was a deeply religious lady who was very fond of music. She used to take young Kundan to various religious functions where Bhajan, Keertan and Shabad were sung in traditional styles. Kundan Lal often accompanied his father to the interior parts of the State where he would soak into the folk music of Punjab and Kashmir straight from the wandering shepherds.
His formal schooling was brief and uneventful. He started earning by working in the Railways as a timekeeper and later at the Remington Typewriters as a salesman, which allowed him to tour to several places in India. Meanwhile, his passion for singing continued and became more intense with the passage of time. Finally, he landed at Calcutta in early 1930s and met R C Boral, music director of New Theatres. R C Boral took instant liking to his talents and Saigal was employed on a contract basis.
