Lyrics of Ketaki Gulaab Juhi Champakaban Phule - केतकी गुलाब जूही चम्पकबन फूले
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ritu basant apano kant godi garawa lagaye
jhulana me baith aaj pi ke sang jhule
ketaki gulaab juhi champakaban phule
gal-gal kunj-kunj gun-gun bhanwaro ki gunj
raag-rag ang-ang chhedat rasiya anag
kuyal ki pacham sun duniya dukh
bhule bhule bhule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ritu basant apano kant godi garawa lagaye
jhulana me baith aaj pi ke sang jhule
pi ke sang jhule
ketaki gulaab juhi champakaban phule
madhur-madhur thori-thori mithi batiyo se gori
madhur-madhur thori-thori
madhur-madhur thori-thori mithi batiyo se gori
chit churaye hansat jaaye chit churaye hansat jaaye
chori kar sir jhukaye shish jhukaye chachal lat
galan ko chhu le galan ko chhu le
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi ketaki gulab juhi
ketaki gulab juhi ketaki ketaki ketaki
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ritu basant apano kant godi garawa lagaye
jhulana me baith aaj pi ke sang jhule
ketaki gulaab juhi champakaban phule
gal-gal kunj-kunj gun-gun bhanwaro ki gunj
raag-rag ang-ang chhedat rasiya anag
kuyal ki pacham sun duniya dukh
bhule bhule bhule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ritu basant apano kant godi garawa lagaye
jhulana me baith aaj pi ke sang jhule
pi ke sang jhule
ketaki gulaab juhi champakaban phule
madhur-madhur thori-thori mithi batiyo se gori
madhur-madhur thori-thori
madhur-madhur thori-thori mithi batiyo se gori
chit churaye hansat jaaye chit churaye hansat jaaye
chori kar sir jhukaye shish jhukaye chachal lat
galan ko chhu le galan ko chhu le
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi champakaban phule
ketaki gulab juhi ketaki gulab juhi
ketaki gulab juhi ketaki ketaki ketaki

An anecdote of the narration of the great maestro Manna Dey is in order:
the maestro was chided by his beloved wife for seeking to hide away on a
holiday, as the prospect was imminent that he would have to match with
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi on this very song. But, Pandit Joshi was his greatest
help, however, for this song, like a guru, I believe. Now, aside, the story
line is my predicament: a disciple does not defeat his guru in public;
rather glorifies his art.

आज इतकी वर्षं झाली पण 'केतकी गुलाब'ची, संगीत-प्रेमींच्या मनावरची मोहिनी
अद्याप टिकून आहे! वसंतांतल्या दवण्याइतकाच त्या गाण्याचा सुगंधही अजून ताजा,
टवटवीत वाटतो!!

टवटवीत वाटतो!!

After several years Manna Dey also accepted one thing.when Padosan was released, Manna Dey was asked to sing aginst Kishore Kumar and was defeated by Kishore...Manna Dey argued "these Directors, Producers and sometimes Music directors also don't understand...they made him lose aginst Kishore Kumar and win against Pt Bhimsen Joshi"...that is so funny...

@dams0001 Actually Bhimsen Joshi is down playing is capabilities. He is a
great singer, and Manna Dey, as good as he is, is no where near Bhim ji. I
heard Bhimsen Joshi's live concert, and they are amazing. He has a
beautiful voice and singing abilities. Personally I love his voice above
any artist.

Pt Bhimsen is Bharat Ratna, so it's unfair to compare him with the judges
on Indian Idol. I do agree because some of those guys act as if they are
the greatest gift to mankind. BTW, give a listen to this years saregamapa,
specially Mohd Aman - I don't know who he has learned from but some of his
taans are like Ustad Salamat Ali Khan; he sings pure classical and most of
the bandishes are from Agra Gharana. Not sure how long he is there but
might as well savor his singing while it lasts.
