Raj Kapoor's Soul

The course of the musical history did change thanks to another opportunity which soon came his way. In ""Aag""(1948), he sang Zinda hoon is tarah for Raj Kapoor - another superstar of that era and a lifelong partnership came into being. Mukesh's was a voice tailor-made for Raj Kapoor's screen image of 'Raju'- a happy-go-lucky tragic-comic tramp - an Indian impersonation of the great Charlie Chaplin. So perfect was their chemistry that when they toured Russia, the audiences just refused to believe that the song Aawara hoon was not sung by Raj himself! So after an on-stage performance where he stood behind Mukesh at the mike, Raj Kapoor made his now immortal statement, "" I am just a body, Mukesh is my soul!""

Who could doubt this statement after hearing such gems like the light-hearted philosophical Kisi ki muskurahton pe ho nisaar, the ever optimistic Haale dil hamara jaane na , the delightfully naughty Tum kisi aur ko chahogi to mushkil hogi, the 'spirited' Main nashe mein hoon or the heart-tugging Dost dost dost na raha!

Suhani Chandni Raaten

Hindi Song Title: Suhani chandni raatein
Hindi Movie/Album Name: MUKTI
Singer(s): MUKESH


Hindi Lyrics:

suhaanee chaandanee raaten
pleasant moonlit nights
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep
tumhaare pyaar kee baaten
things relating to your love
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep

tumhaaree reshamee julfon mein
in your silken tresses
dil ke fool khilate the
flowers of my heart would bloom
kahee foolon ke mausam me
and in seasons of flowers
kabhee hum tum bhee milate the
once you and I used to meet
puraanee wo mulaakaaten
those old assignations
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep
tumhaare pyaar kee baaten
things relating to your love
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep


kahee ayesaa na ho lag jaaye
let it not be so that it lights
dil mein aag paanee se
in my heart, a fire from this water
badal le raasataa apanaa
let them change their route
ghataayen meharabaanee se
the rain clouds may please be so kind
ke yaadon kee wo barasaaten
for those rainy seasons of memories
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep
tumhaare pyaar kee baaten
things relating to your love
humein sone naheen detee
do not let me sleep

Romantic as they come ... lovely chords on the ivory ... so Mukesh !!

I hope it doesnt closes with this one


Bhaiya asj, i was able to play it (#31)
but many others closes the thread...

gotto say that these songs are very nostalgic and reminds me fondly of a young man with whom i was very smitten in high school....he loved the Mighty Muka and with some of his friends would sing many of the songs when they had a drink or so...(after high sch. days of courseWink )


So Dids do you still have that special feelings at least sometimes for that young man? O course I do remember my likkle tete a tete, till one day I reach up with an old spark, married happily, as she saw me, came up and give me a hug, and a kiss (not on the lips ofcourse) and I mentioned "so long I was waiting for this"........smiles from both party, still have a soft spot for her.
