Aa Chal Ke tujhe... DOOR GAGAN KI CHAO MEIN

This is a beautiful song about hope... it talks about this place where there is loads and loads of happiness and love. My daughter loves it for her nap time.

LYRICS

Aa chal ke tujhe mein le ke chaloon, ek aise gagan ke talee... Jahan ghum bhi na ho aansu bhi na ho, bas pyar hi pyar palee. (2)

Ek aise gagan ke tale

 Sooraj ki pehli kiran se, aasha ka savera jaage (2)

Chandaa ki kiran se dhul kar, ghanghor andhera bhage - (2)

Kabhi dhup khile kabhi chhav mile, lambi si dagar na khale

 Jahan ghum bhi na bhi na ho, aasu bhi na ho bas pyaar hi pyaar pale.

Ek aise gagan ke tale

Jahan door nazar daud aaye, aazaad gagan laheraye... laheraaye (echo)

Jahan door nazar daud aaye, aazaad gagan laheraye.

Jahan rang birange panchhee, aasha ka sandesa laaye - (2)

Sapno mein palee hansatee ho kali, jahan sham suhanee dhale

Jahan ghum bhi na ho aansu bhi naa ho, bas pyaar hi pyaar pale

Ek aise gagan ke talee

Sapno ke aise jahan mein jahan pyaar hi pyaar khila ho

Hum jaa ke vahan kho jaye shikuvaa naa koyee ghila ho

Kahi bhair na ho koyi ghair na ho, sab milke yoon chalte chale

Jahan ghum bhi na ho aansu bhi na ho, bas pyaar hi pyaar pale

Aa chal ke tujhe mein leke chaloon, Ek aise gagan ke tale

Jahan ghum bhi na ho aansu bhi na ho, bas pyaar hi pyaar pale

Ek aise gagan ke tale (2)

INTERESTING TRIVIA ABOUT THE MOVIE

Kishore da said this in an interview.. "Door Gagan ki Chhaon Mein started to an audience of 10 people in Alankar. I know because I was in the hall myself. There were only ten people who had come to watch the first show! Even its release was peculiar. Subhodh Mukherjee, the brother of my brother-in-law, had booked Alankar (the hall) for 8 weeks for his film April Fool- which everyone knew was going to be a block- buster. My film, everyone was sure, was going to be a thundering flop. So he offered to give me a week of his booking. Take the first week, he said flamboyantly, and I'll manage within seven. After all, the movie can't run beyond a week. It can't run beyond two days, I reassured him. When 10 people came for the first show, he tried to console me. Don't worry, he said, it happens at times. But who was worried? Then, the word spread. Like wildfire. And within a few days the hall began to fill. It ran for all 8 weeks at Alankar, house full! Subodh Mukherjee kept screaming at me but how could I let go the hall? After 8 weeks when the booking ran out, the movie shifted to Super, where it ran for another 21 weeks! That's the anatomy of a hit of mine. How does one explain it? Can anyone explain it? Can Subodh Mukherjee, whose April Fool went on to become a thundering flop?"

This is one of my most favourite of all songs... that is why I am starting my blog with this one. Some of the stanzas of the song I can identify with. The lyrics are beautiful.

LYRICS

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupake se aaye

mere khayalo ke aangan me 

koi sapano ke deep jalaye, deep jalaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye 

chupake se aaye

kabhi yunhi, jab hui, bojhal saanse 

bhar aai baithe baithe, jab yunhi aankhe 

tabhi machal ke, pyaar se chhal ke

chhue koi mujhe par nazar na aaye, nazar na aaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupake se aaye

kahi to ye, dil kabhi, mil nahi paate

kahi pe nikal aaye, janmo ke naate

thani si ulajhan, bairi apana man

apana hi hoke sahe dard paraye, dard paraye

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupake se aaye

mere khayalo ke aagan me 

koi sapano ke deep jalaye, deep jalaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupake se aaye

Dil jaane mere saare bhedh yeh gehere

Kho gaye kaise mere sapne sunehere

Yeh mere sapne yeh hi ho toh hai apne, 

Mujh se juda na honge inke yeh saaye, inke yeh saaye.

Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye, 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupke se aaye

mere khayalo ke aagan me 

koi sapano ke deep jalaye, deep jalaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaye 

saanjh ki dulhan badan churaye, chupake se aaye

IF... Rudyard Kipling

the words are very inspiring... read on!!!

IF 

Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

  Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

  But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

  Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

  And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

  If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

  And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

  Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

  And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

  And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

  To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

  Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

  Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

  If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

  With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

  And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
