Meri pyaari Bindu

Mere bhole balam, mere pyaare re balam
Mera jeevan tere bina, o mere piya
Hain woh diya, ki jiss mein tel na ho, ki jiss mein tel na ho
Mera jeevan tere bina woh ek baag hain
Bahaar jiss se hatkar guzre, door door se guzre

Mujhe apna bana le, O bhole apna bana le
Hai re bhole apna bana le, Aye…
Tere kadmon mein mera pyaar, mera sansaar, meri kismat hain,
Mujhe apna bana le
Tere kadmon mein mera pyaar, mera sansaar, meri kismat hain,
Mujhe apna bana le

Achcha guru jab who aisa kahegi na toh main jawab kya doonga
Jawab? Arre bangdu pyaar mein, pyaar mein jawab apnea ap soojh jata hain. Kehna, Anuradha…
Arre guru, guru, guru, Anuradha nahin, Bindu, Bindu
Dhat teri ki, bhoola… Kehna, kehna…
Kya?

Meri pyaari bindu, meri bholiri bindu
Meri maatheri bindu, meri sinduri bindu
Meri binduri bindu

Meri prem ki naiya beech bhanwar mein
Gudgud gothe khaaye jhatpat paar laga de
Jhatpat paar laga de
Apni baiyaan gale mein daar
Ban ja mere gale ka haar
Jhoole prem hindole, o jhoole prem hindole

Mere jeevan ki asha
Padh le meri nainon ki bhaasha
Mujhe mann mein bassa le
Pal pal palkon mein chhupa le
Tu jhatpat aakar jhatpat mere andhe kouen mein deep jalaake
Kar de ujaala, o zara kar de ujaala

Bindu re... O Bindu re... Bindu re...

I couldn’t type the lyrics for this without a smile. And watching it made me giggle.

Kishore Kumar having fun, that’s what this song is, both on screen and in the recording studio. How could I not include it in a comedy selection? There is much that is problematic in this movie, but this song is a delight. Its beats, its silly lyrics, its picturization, I enjoyed all of it. While Kishore Kumar and Sunil Dutt seem to steal the show, the song would probably not be as much fun without the presence of Mukri, Keshto Mukherjee and Raj Kishore. Enjoy! ~ R
