What a song. Thank you amitajai. What lilting music. Excellent rendering.
The present day so called Star Singers must listen this to benchmark
themselves.

mutinyvizier on July 26, 2009
One of the most difficult songs ever recorded in Hindi playback music -
Manna Da makes it look absurdly easy and cuts through it like soft butter -
that is just testimony to his extraordinary technique, breath control, and
vocal timber.

ntstatic on September 02, 2009
yes the gods themselves would appear, to enjoy this wonderfull song
incomparable... so called star singers do not dare benchmark with this
.

Arindam Sengupta on September 12, 2009
I don't think that is correct - some of the present-day star singers (like
Sonu Nigam) are well-trained and can definitely do justice to songs like
this too.

Aryak Chatterjee on September 30, 2009
Sonu Nigam is not even 1/10 of Manna Dey. Manna Dey is a trained classical
singer. It is an insult of Manna Dey to compare him with any Tom,Dick or
Harry. I think a person who has a minimum musical knowledge would not dare
to compare this great singer with Sonu, even Sonu Nigam himself.

Arindam Sengupta on September 30, 2009
cool down man - this particular song doesn't have anything greatly
"classical" about it other than being based on a raga; besides, "classical"
music has to do with the same 12 notes as any other kind of music, right?
what is your opinion of Kishore, for instance, whose "classical" songs can
be counted on the fingers of one and? many of Manna Dey's "classical" songs
were really used comically in the films; go figure. this is not to say i
don't respect him or disagree he was underutilized.

Arindam Sengupta on September 30, 2009
besides, who told you today's singers are none of them classically trained?
your "maximum" musical knowledge, perhaps? to repeat, i too hold Manna Dey
in high regard, but refuse to live in the past. if there is predominantly
bad music in fllms today it is NOT the singers' fault; given good songs
they too can deliver. my example of Sonu was precisely that; just an
example. you missed the point altogether and unnecessarily flew into a
rage; better chill out. peace...

BhuvaneshB on September 30, 2009
As much as I like the song (and Manna da), I'm not sure about it being one
of the most difficult. It does need some breath control, but breath control
is an essential thing for a singer anyway -- if you don't have breath
control, you can't sing (at least not classical). The song is based on Miya
Malhar, btw. I don't see that mentioned yet. Of course, since it's a film
song, it doesn't really do much with the mandra saptak.

Aryak Chatterjee on October 01, 2009
KK is a natural singer and everybody knows he had no classical
background.But nobody has a voice quality like him.Even greats like
Md.Rafi,Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey,Lataji have expressed their surprise, how he
sings without any formal training.There is only one KK.Yes Dey has a few
comedy songs.But he also has many immortal songs(not only classical or semi
classical).You rightly said there is no use to live in the past.But I
believe the word 'PAST' is not applicable for any timeless classic.Thanx.

ntstatic on October 23, 2009
it is hopeless to measure a piece of art as being classical or as being not
the most difficult or anything else. just enjoy the bliss it brings... (
and that is subjective depending upon your taste )

adityavpratap on June 22, 2010
waah, waah! Gem of a song! Touches your heart and brings tears of joy.

Mohan Udiavar on November 05, 2010

directors.

Great Song! Ram

Mohan Udiavar on April 03, 2011
very melodious emotion charged bhajan. There is another similar beautiful
bhajan by Manna da in film Narsi Bhagat 1957 " Aaj faisla tere dwar par
mere jeet hai tere har par..darshan do ghanashyam .." could someone
kindly upload the song. Thanks

pistachioguy on August 13, 2011
One of the most difficult songs in Hindi film playback music repertoire.
Manna Day makes it look absurdly simple, cutting through it like butter. It
demands an almost a 2 octave range - low nishadha (flat 7th, C) on "gehra
pujari" and high pancham (fifth, A) on the aakar. Since Manna Dey (like
Rafi in Duniya ke Rakhwale) sings this song in the Key of D, the fifth or
high A should not sound like a yell, which it doesn't to MD's credit. Manna
Dey executes it beautifully with ridiculous ease.

pistachioguy on August 18, 2011
@amitajai - thank you sir. It is low nishada (flat 7th, C) on "tera pujari"
not "gehra" - I was thinking in several minds when I wrote the comment, and
the "deep" idea overtook me (since it is a low note), hence "gehra" instead
of "tera". LOL!

Tara chhetri on March 27, 2012
Manna De is great. For his classical songs especially. Thank you for your
contribution.

pnimmi Chaudhary on May 08, 2012

The Creator on July 21, 2012
Can somebody knowledgeable tell me the Raag on which this is set to?

CAROLINE8086 on December 29, 2012
MUSIC IS A REVELATION FROM PARAMATMA9THE LORD WITH AND WITHOUT NAME, WITH
AND WITHOUT FORM).A RELIGION WHICH HAS NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC IS AS DRY AS THE
DESERT OF AFRICA AND AS FALSE AS A MIRAGE.

hrshenoy1 on February 19, 2013
Great song. Great appreciation.

DR ARTI SAHAI on March 13, 2013
we were not there when these songs were created .yet they are
just heart rending .adore such melodies

Baishali Kanjilal on March 22, 2013
wonderful upload, this is the first time i heard this song and it just
swept me off my feet Oh my God

Swarup Kshirsagar on April 14, 2013
great song

Vijay Soni on April 28, 2013
Sorry, Mohd. Rafi never sounded yelling.

gopal sinha on May 04, 2013
A great composition sung by who else than the Manna De.

Shripad Dharmadhikari on July 28, 2013
What a soulful, melodious rendering of a bhajan that is sure to touch heart
of even an atheist! Swami Vivekanada wanted us to be fearless. This prayer
addresses Him as "Bhaya bhanjana " I.e the one who liberates from fear. The
lyrics and the composition are undoubtedly superb and above all, Manna De's
rendering makes this song a connects our heart to His! Let's pray to the
almighty to give Manna De a healthy and longer life.

Shripad Dharmadhikari on August 04, 2013
The lyricist, Shailendra, also deserves full credits.

Rajeev Mathur on August 30, 2013
Outstanding

aarenya on October 22, 2013
Can you please tell me what raag this song is based on ?

Mahendra Paralkar on October 24, 2013
..and that too in Zhaptaal, which is not one of the easiest taals to
sing or play a composition.

Jayanthi Nadig on October 24, 2013
This is one of my personal favorites... RIP Manna Da - miss you :(

In old days of bollywood, the song writer, music director and singer sit
together and spend many weeks to compose one song. And the result is quite
evident that even today people listen to such songs as this one. Listen to
the lyrics of this song, it's so poetic and music is full of melody. People
don't get bored even after listening such songs for 65years. On the
contrary, the present day Bollywood, like Annu Malik in one of DID episode
was blowing his own trumpet said that he wrote and composed a song in 15
minutes. LOL. Today's Bollywood music directors copies or imitate western
musics, you listen to that music once or twice, sounds good or ok and after
that nobody listens because it gets boring and then nobody remembers. Such
is the quality and fate of today's Bollywood music.

Latha Baradwaj on August 09, 2014
A lovely song based on Raag Miya malhaar, a raag invented by Miya Taansen.
Another song in this raag is "Bolere papihara"
