Kaun samjhe meri aankho ki
nami ka matlab
nami ka matlab
Zindagi geet thee par jild
bandhne men kati
bandhne men kati
कौन समझे मेरी आँखों की नमी का मतलब
ज़िन्दगी गीत थी पर जिल्द बंधाने में कटी…

The song
from Prem Pujari written with most beautiful lyrics ever. The way Kavi Neeraj
symbolizes love using colors of flower, the pen of heart just keeps me in
awe. Again he uses the symbolism of clouds and rain (things which go hand in
hand) and chandan and water (yet again essential to each other); conveying the
fact that how much the protagonist’s female love is essential to him. The use
of words like madir, madhur, veena, gitanjali ring lovely music to my ears.

Kavi Gopal Das “Neeraj” in Exhibition of Aligarh-2018 |
Gopal Das Neeraj was a people’s poet; Neeraj says his
poetry was shaped by his broken heart, desire and years of suffering. “Mera tan
rogi, man bhogi, meri aatma rahi yogi.” It is this contradiction that makes his
poetry tangible.
It reflects in its pure form in “Kal Ka Pahiya” (“Chanda Aur
Bijli”) which won him Filmfare award and in popular mode in “Bas Yahi Apradh
Main har Baar Karta Hoon, Aadmi Hoon Aadmi Se Pyaar Karta Hoon” (“Pehchan”).

Phoolon Ke Rang
Se dil ki qalam se
This evergreen song is a true masterpiece.
Every word of Neeraj is extremely beautiful.The best ever lyrics, the
best ever poetry one can write for a loved one and what a superb
composition by S.D. Burman. Dev Anand priceless expression and Kishore da. What
we can say about him. You are really great.

| Phoolon Ke Rang Se -Film Prem Pujari Lyric by Kavi Neeraj |
Poetry is the soul of this song; Neeraj
defined love in such delicate expression and words so simple, it leaves the
listener spell-bound.
Phoolon
Ke Rang Se, Dil Ki Qalam Se Tujh ko Likhi Roz Paati
Ke Rang Se, Dil Ki Qalam Se Tujh ko Likhi Roz Paati
Kaise
Bataun, Kis Kis Tarah Se
Pal Pal Mujhe Tu Satati
Tere Hi Sapane, Lekar Ke Soyaa
Teri Hi Yaadon Men Jaaga
Tere Khayalon Men Ulajha Raha Yun
Jaise Ke Malaa Men Dhaagaa Haan, Badal Bijali Chandan Pani Jaisa Apna Pyar
Lena Hoga Janam Hame, Kae Kae Bar
Han, Itana adir BarSaanson Ki Saragam, Dhadakan Ki Vinaa,
Sapanon Ki Gitanjali Tuu
Man Ki Gali Men, Mahake Jo Haradam,
Aisi Juhi Ki Kali Tuu
Chota Safar Ho, Lamba Safar Ho,
Suni Dagar Ho Yaa Mela
Yaad Tu Aae, Man Ho Jaae, Bhid Ke Bich Akelaa
Haan, Badal Bijalii, Chandan Paani Jaisa Apana Pyaar
Lena Hoga Janam Hame, Kae Kae Bar
Puurab Ho Pachchim, Uttar Ho Dakkhin,
Tuu Har Jagah Muskurae
Jitana Bhi Jauun, Main Duur Tujhse,
Utani Hii Tuu Paas Aae
Aandhi Ne Roka, Paanii Ne Toka,
Duniyaa Ne Hans Kar Pukara
Tasavir Teri, Lekin Liye Main, Kar Aaya Sabase Kinara
Haan, Baadal Bijali, Chandan Paani Jaisaa Apanaa Pyaar
Lena Hoga Janam Hame, Kae Kae Bar
Han, Itana Madir, Itana Madhur Tera Mera Pyar
Lena Hoga Janam Hame, Kae Kae Bar
Kai, Kai Bar Kai, Kai Baar

He worked the whole
night and came up with “Rangeela Re Tere Rang Main Yun Ranga Hai Mera Mann,
Chhaliya Re…”
Next day he went to Dev Anand’s office and showed what
he had written. After reading it, he embraced Neeraj and exclaimed how he could
do it in one night. “He immediately took me to Burman da’s home and proudly
presented me to him and said: See, I told you, Neeraj has done it. When Burman
da listened to it he said ‘Dev you go, now we will sit together.’ After he
left, Burman da admitted that he gave me this complex situation to make me give
up.

on life but Dev Anand wanted it to be changed according to the requirement of
the film. “I changed the antara completely.

I have no words to praise his poetry. He had penned a number of popular
songs for Hindi films and worked with great music composers like S D Burman,
Jaidev and Shankar Jaikishan.

Karvan guzar Gaya gubar dekhte rahe...
छिप-छिप अश्रु बहाने वालों, मोती व्यर्थ बहाने वालों
कुछ सपनों के मर जाने से, जीवन नहीं मरा करता है।
