MUKESH CHAND MATHUR:

Mukesh Chand Mathur (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976) was noted playback singer of Bollywood. He, alongside Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar, left such an impact on the Hindi film industry that they are still remembered to date.

Mukesh was born in a Kayastha family in Ludhiana   Mukesh left school after the 10th grade and worked briefly for the Department of Public Works. He experimented with voice recordings during his employment in Delhi and gradually developed his singing abilities. Some of his famous songs were recorded in the movie Anand in 1970, such as Kahin door jab din dhal jaye and Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune.

Mukesh was offered a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (1941). His first song was Dil hi bujha hua ho to as an actor-singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for actor Motilal in 1945 with the film Pehli nazar with music by Anil Biswas & lyrics by Aah Sitapuri. The first song that he sang for a Hindi film was Dil jalta hai to jalne de, which was picturised on Motilal.

He was such a fan of K. L. Saigal that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol. In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal first heard the song Dil jalta hai to jalne de, he remarked, "That's strange, I don't recall singing that song".

1) JIS DESH MEIN GANGA BEHTI HAI

http://www.indiamp3.com/music/...ad.php?song_id=16668

Hothon pe sachchaai rahati hai

Truth lives on the lips

Jahaan dil men safaai rahati hai

Where cleanliness (purity) lives in the heart.

(Ham us desh ke vaasi hain,)2

We are the residents of that country

Jis desh men gangaa bahati hai

That country in which the Ganges flows.

(Mehamaan jo hamaara hota hai

Vo jaan se pyaara hota hai)2

Our guests are dearer to us than life

Zyaada ki nahin laalach ham ko

We are not greedy for much

(Thode me guzaara hota hai)2

A little is enough for our livelihood

Bachchon ke liye jo dharati maan

For her children, mother earth

Sadiyon se sabhi kuchh sahati hai

Has tolerated everything for generations

(Ham us desh ke vaasi hain,)2
We are the residents of that country

Jis desh men ganga bahati hai

That country in which the Ganges flows.

(Kuchh log jo zyaada jaanate hain

Some people who know a lot,
Insaan ko kam pahachaanate hain)2

Understand people very little.

Ye purab hai, purabvaale

This is the east, and Easterners
(Har jaan ki kimat jaanate hain)2

Know the value of every life

Mil jul ke raho aur pyaar karo

Live together and love

Ek chiz yahi jo rahati hai

This one thing is here

(Ham us desh ke vaasi hain,)2
We are the residents of that country

Jis desh men ganga bahati hai

That country in which the Ganges flows.

Jo jisase mila sikha hamane

We have taught all we meet
Gairon ko bhi apanaaya hamane)2

We have accepted outsiders as our own

Matalab ke liye andhe hokar

Not blinded by selfishness,

(Roti ko nahi puja hamane)2

We have not worshipped bread

Ab ham to kya saari duniya

Not just us now, the whole world,

Saari duniya se kahatii hai

To the whole world we say

(Ham us desh ke vaasi hain,)2
We are the residents of that country

Jis desh men ganga bahati hai

That country in which the Ganges flows.

Hothon pe sachchaai rahati hai

Truth lives on the lips

Jahaan dil men safaai rahati hai

Where cleanliness (purity) lives in the heart.

(Ham us desh ke vaasi hain,)2

We are the residents of that country

Jis desh men gangaa bahati hai

That country in which the Ganges flows.

Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma

Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin

Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho

Any path that doesn't lead to your door,
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin

Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma.
Any street that your house is not on

Zindagi mein kaii rangraliyan sahi

In life, I have had many colorful celebrations
Har taraf muskurati ye kaliyan sahi

Everywhere I look, I see smiling flower buds

Khoobsurat bahaaron ki galiyan sahi

And many beautiful views of springtime.

Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe

But that garden in which a thorn pricks your feet

Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe

Any garden in which a thorn pricks your feet,
Us chaman se hame phool chunana nahin

Is not a garden that I will pick any flower from.

Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma
That street that your house is not on

Haan ye rasame, ye kasame sabhi tod ke

Yes, these traditions, these promises... break them all
Tu chali aa chunar pyar ki odh ke

And run to me, flying the shawl of love in the air
Ya chala jaaonga, main ye jag chhod ke

Or else I will leave this world behind
(Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage)2

And that place where your memories torment me
Us jagah ye ek pal bhi thhaharana nahin

I will not linger there for one second.

Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma

Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin

Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho

Any path that doesn't lead to your door,
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin

Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma.
Any street that your house is not on

(Jeena yahan marna yahan

You live here, you die here

Iske siwa jaana kahan

Where else can one go but here?

Jee chaahe jab humko awaaz do

Call out for me whenever you wish

Hum hain wahin hum the jahan

I am still at the place I was before

Apne yahin dono jahan

These two worlds are here for me

Iske siwa jaana kahan)2

Where else can one go but here?

Yeh mera geet jeevan sangeet

These songs of mine are the music of my life
Kal bhi koi dohraayega

Tomorrow will be sung by someone else
Jag ko hasane behroopiya

The world will laugh as the clown
Roop badal phir aayega

Will return with a changed face
Swarg yahin nark yahan

Heaven is here so is hell
Iske siwa jaana kahan

Where else can one go but here?

Kal khel mein hum ho na ho

In tomorrow's game, wether I am here or not
Gardish mein taare rehenge sada

The star will forever be in the sky
Bhoolonge tum bhoolenge woh

You will forget and so will they
Par hum tumhaare rehenge sada

But I will forever be yours
Rehenge yahin apne nishan

My memories will remain here
Iske siwa jaana kahan

Where else can one go but here

Jee chaahe jab humko awaaz do

Call out for me whenever you wish

Hum hain wahin hum the jahan

I am still at the place I was before

Apne yahin dono jahan

These two worlds are here for me

Iske siwa jaana kahan

Jeena yahan marna yahan

Don't let my love be maligned.

Mukesh:
maut merii taraf aane lagii
Death has begun to creep toward me;
jaan terii taraf jaane lagii
life has gone in your direction.
(bol shaam-e-judaa'ii kya karein.)2
Tell me, on this night of separation, what can I do?
aas milne kii taRapne lagii
The hope of a meeting torments me.

aa jaa re ab mera dil pukaara
Come, my heart calls out to you.
ro roke gam bhii haaraa
With tears, even my sorrows were defeated.
badnaam na ho pyaar mera
Don't let my love be maligned.

Come to me.

This heart is torn with worry...

Come into my dreams and meet me some time.

aa jaa re ab mera dil pukaara
Come, my heart calls out to you.
ro roke gam bhii haaraa
With tears, even my sorrows were defeated.
badnaam na ho pyaar mera
Don't let my love be maligned.
aa jaa re

Mukesh:
apne biimaar-e-gam ko dekh le
Behold my illness and grief.
ho sake to tuu hamko dekh le
If it's possible, look upon me.
(tuu ne dekha na hoga yeh samaa)2
You will never have seen such a sight...
kaise jaata hai dam ko dekh le
How the breath departs; watch!

aa jaa re ab mera dil pukaara
Come, my heart calls out to you.
ro roke gam bhii haaraa
With tears, even my sorrows were defeated.
badnaam na ho pyaar mera
Don't let my love be maligned.

http://link.songspk.info/india.../download.php?id=495

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de, tadapta huwa jab koyi chhod de
When someone breaks your heart, and leaves you suffering in pain

Tab tum mere paas aana priye, mera dar khula hai khula hi rahega tumhaare liye
Then you can come to me my dear, my door is open/will always be open to you

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de.
When someone breaks your heart,

Abhi tumko meri zaroorat nahi, bahot chaahne waale mil jaayenge
Today you don't have any need for me, as you will find many that will like you 
Abhi roop ka ek saagar ho tum, kanwal jitne chaahogi khil jaayenge
You are an ocean of beauty, as many lotus flowers as you want will bloom in it.
Darpan tumhein jab daraane lage, jawaani bhi daaman chhudaane lage
When the mirror starts scaring you, when your youth starts leaving you
Tab tum mere paas aana priye, mera sar jhuka hai jhuka hi rahega tumhaare liye
Then, you come to me, my dear my head is bowed and will always bow to you.

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de
When someone breaks your heart,

Koyi shart hoti nahi pyaar mein, magar pyaar sharto pe tumne kiya
There are no conditions in love, but you loved on conditions.
Nazar mein sitaare jo chamke zara, bujhaane lagi aarti ka diya
When stars shine a little in your sight you began to extinguish that lamp's flame.
Jab apni nazar mein hi girne lago, andhero mein apne hi ghirne lago
When you start falling from yourself, you start falling into darkness.
Tab tum mere paas aana priye, ye deepak jala hai jalta hi rahega, tumhaare liye
Then, you can come to me, my dear, this light has burned and will continue to burn for you.

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de...
When someone breaks your heart,
