This song from “Holi Aayi re” appeared as a solo as well as a duet in the movie. The solo song sung by Mukesh is the one that became more popular and I too like the solo song more.

Mukesh, as usual, paints a vivid picture of the feelings that the lyrics of indeewar seek to convey. The way his voice can almost make you enter the mind of the character and visualise what is going through there is simply amazing. There were those who said that Mukesh was classically not trained, but such people miss the real fact. The fact is, Mukesh’s ability to express different feelings in all their nuances was simply awesome and that was the reason why majority of his songs struck a chord with the listeners.

Coming to the picturisation, the song is picturised on someone called Premendra. No idea who he was. He looked like a cross between Joy Mukherji and Danny, but unlike them, he was perhaps a one movie wonder. In this song, he is seen wooing Mala Sinha.

Lyrics

meri tamannaaon ki taqdeer tum sanwaar do
meri tamannaaon ki taqdeer tum sanwaar do
pyaasi hai zindagi aur mujhe pyaar do
aur mujhe pyaar do
meri tamannaaon ki taqdeer tum sanwaar do
pyaasi hai zindagii aur mujhe pyaar do
aur mujhe pyaar do

saaraa gagan mandap hai saaraa jag baraati
saaraa jag baraati
saaraa gagan mandap hai saaraa jag baraati
man ke phere sachche sachche hain ham saathi
laaj kaa ye ghoonghat pat aaj to utaar do
pyaasi hai zindagi aur mujhe pyaar do
aur mujhe pyaar do

dharti karwat badle, badle har mausam
badle har mausam
dharati karwat badle, badle har mausam
preet ke pujaari hain badlenge naheen ham
patjhad saa jeewan hai, pyaar ki bahaar do
pyaasi hai zindagi aur mujhe pyaar do
aur mujhe pyaar do
meri tamannaaon ki taqdeer tum sanwaar do
pyaasi hai zindagi aur mujhe pyaar do
aur mujhe pyaar do
