‘Na main dhan chahun’- A Devotional Song from the film- 'Kala Bazar' (1960)

‘Na main dhan chahun’  from the film- 'Kala Bazaar’(1960) is one of my vary favorrite song due to its Purity. The way it tells us about the realities of the outer world, about the urge to go back to the Origin. Everything about the song is So Sincere!!! I respect the song from the core of my heart!

The last stanza with its open ending,- ‘ab kidhar jaun’ leaves the impression of the journey which is still continuing…..The repetition of those words keep echoing themselves in our ear even after the song is completed.

Wonderful music, lyrics and beautifully sung by Geeta Dutt and Sudha Malhotra.

Here are the Lyrics-

Na Main Dhan Chahun, Na Ratan Chahun

Na Main Dhan Chahun, Na Ratan Chahun
Tere Charnon Ki Dhul Mil Jaaye

Tere Charnon Ki Dhul Mil Jaaye
To Main Tar Jaun, Shyam Main Tar Jaun
He Raam Tar Jaun...

Moh Mann Mohe, Lobh Lalchaaye

Moh Mann Mohe, Lobh Lalchaaye
Kaise Kaise Ye Naag Leheraaye

Kaise Kaise Ye Naag Leheraaye

Isse Pehle Ki Dil Udhar Jaaye
Main To Mar Jaun, Kyun Na Mar Jaun

Na Main Dhan Chahun, Na Ratan Chahun…

Laaye Kya The Jo Leke Jana Hai

Laaye Kya The Jo Leke Jana Hai
Nek Dil Hi Tera Khazaana Hai

Nek Dil Hi Tera Khazaana Hai

Saanjh Hote Hi Panchhi Aa Jaaye
Ab To Ghar Jaun Apni Ghar Jaun
 

Tere Charnon Ki Dhul Mil Jaaye
To Main Tar Jaun, Shyam Main Tar Jaun
He Raam Tar Jaun...

Tham Gaya Paani, Jam Gayi Kaayi

Tham Gaya Paani, Jam Gayi Kaayi
Behti Nadiya Hi Saaf Kehlaayi

Behti Nadiya Hi Saaf Kehlaayi

Mere Dil Ne Hi Jaal Phailaaye
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun
Ab Kidhar Jaun, Main Kidhar Jaun….
