Kishore Da- my 2nd favourite singer in hindi cinema, after Mukesh. It can be said that the songs Kishore sung, no one else could sung.To choose 20 best songs of Kishore is a Herculean task, looking at the variety of songs he sung. While Kishore is more popular for his light or funny songs, and stuff like odlee odleee oooo, I found that after Mukesh, his voice was best to convey sadness of words .
Well before I go with the list, want to make some points: -
While choosing my favourite songs of kishore, I feel following factors determined the songs that I selected:
(i) I like sad songs more, so although Kishore is more famous for his light numbers, sad ones will dominate this list.
(ii) The selection depends on the songs I?ve heard and the songs I remember RIGHT now, so later I may feel need to change the same.
(iii) Also I feel that we tend to like those songs more, which we think, were made for us. The songs, which convey our feelings, are related to events of our life.
Love letter written by heart
20 Phoolon ke rang se, dil ki kalam se, tujhko likhi roj paati
kya kya batoon kis kis tarah se sapnon main hain tu satati
tere hi sapne le kar ke soya teri hi yaad main jaaga
tere khyaalon main uljha raha jaise ki maala main dhaaga.
Never found someone'Mine'
19 Jane Anjaane log mile, magar koi mila na apna
kya kya hamne socha tha reh gaya banke sapna
mila no koi aisa insaan dil ka dard mitata
kam se kam do baat to kar dil ki pyaas bujhata
dard bhara hai afsana, bhag main likha taraphana
Selfish World
18 Nadaan nasamajh, paagal diwana
sabko apna mana tune magar ye na jaana
*matlabi hain log yahan par, matlabi zamana
socha saaya saath dega, nikla wo begana*
. Jinda hain laashen murda zameen hai
jeene ke kaabil duniya nahin hai
duniya ko thokar kyon na laga doon
khud apni hasti kyon na mita doon
*jeeke yahan ji bhar gaya,
dil ab to marne ka dhoondhe bahana*
Note:It is one of the most negative songs I've heard, So negative are the words that once when I was listening to it my mom got worried and asked why you like such songs
No value of heart
17 Sheeshe ki umar pyaale ki akhir bisaat kya
toota jo dil kisi ka to hairat ki baat kya
Note: While most of sad songs are sung on a slow track, this one has been sung on a fast track.
You will also not enjoy after betraying me
16 **Meri bheegi bheegi si palkon main reh gaye
jaise mere sapne bikhar ke
jale man tera bhi kisi ke milan ko,
anamika tu bhi tarse*
Everything including love, is temporary
15 Khilte hain gul yahaan, khil ke bikharne ko
Milte hain dil yahaan, mil ke bichharne ko
Oh Dreamgirl, when will you come?
14 Mere sapno ki rani kab aayegi tu
aayi rut mastani kab aayegi tu
beeti jayi jindagani kab ayegi tu
chali aaa, aaa tu chali aaa
I will win you again
13 Aaj tu gair sahi Pyar se bair sahi
teri nazroon main koi pyaar ka paigaam nahin
tujhko apna na banaya to mera naam nahin
Love changed life
12 Chookar mere man ko kiya tumne kya ishaara
badla ye mausam lage pyaar jag sara
Two legends in best comic song of cinema history
11 Ek chatur naar barhi hoshiyaar
Revenge of Love
10 Mere Mehboob qyamat hogi
aaj ruswa teri galiyon main mohabbat hogi
meri nazren to gila karti hain
tere dil ko bhi e sanam tujhse shikaya hogi
Madness of love
9 Pyaar diwana hota hai mastana hota ha
har khushi se har gham se begana hota hai
What is journey of life?
8 Zindagi ka safar hai ye kaisa safar
koi samjha nahin koi jaana nahin
Journey of life is beautiful
7 **Zindagai ek safar hai suhana
yahan kal kya ho kisne jana*
You are always near my heart
6 Pal pal dil ke paas tum rehti ho
jeevan meethi pyaas ye kehti ho
Time never comes back
5 Zindagi ke safar main guzar jata hain jo mukaam
wo fir nahin aate, wo fir nahin aate
Don't care about hypocrite people
4 Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna
chorho bekaar ki baaton main, kahin beet na jaye raina
humko jo taane dete hain hum khoye hain in rangraliyon main
hamne unko bhi chhip chhip ke aate dekha in galiyon main
ye scah hai jhoothi baat nahin, tum bolo ye sach hain na.
Love is just a part of life
3 **Jeevan mitaana hai diwanapan
koi pyaar jiwan se pyaara nahin*
sare jahana ki amanat hai ye
ye jeevan tumhara tumhara nahin
kisi ke iraadon ke khatir jiyo
kisi ki muradon ki khatir jiyo
hai yaadon main jeena bhi to jindagi
jeena tumhe kyon gawara nahin
Note:A great song which inspires people to live their life even if their love have betrayed them. When I knew that I won't meet her again{Hope that noone from home read this}, was feeling very down those days, and this song helped me in moving forward
Poetry of love
2 **Dil Aaj Shair hain gam aaj nagma hai
shabd ek nazam hain sanam*
gairon ke sheron ko o sunane wale
ho is taraf bhi karam
Note: I have to say that lyrics of this song are perhaps the best lyrics i've ever heard.
Haven't found my soulamate
1 Meet na mila re man ka, koi to milan ka karo re upaaye
Chain nahin bahar, chain nahin ghar main
Man mera dharti par or kjabhi ambar main
usko doondha har nagar main har dagar pe
gali gali dekha nayan uthaye
Note:On a list dominated by sad songs, it is a romantic song which comes on top!I've always loved this song and feel like it is made for me.It is greatness of writers that they write such songs which people tend to relate with their life.
So that was my list of 20 of my Favourite, not Best songs of Kishore. It is obvious that I have missed some great and more popular songs but I feel that any Kishore fan will enjoy all these songs. And your comments are welcome on any song that didn't deserved to be on list or any song that have been missed. *
