LYRICIST : ANJAAN
BAPPI LAHIRI
POONAM DHILLON
KAVITA  KRISHNAMURTHY

This is a raagmala presented in the form of a competition between the supremacy of POETRY(गीत)AND DANCE(नृत्य) in the universe .On the screen Poonam Dhillon is portraying as a singer and Shridevi as a dancer.The music maestro BHAPPI and LAHIRI have composed this raagmala, in which the raagas included are in this sequence:कलिंगडा ,बहार ,मेघ मल्हार ,दीपक,सोहिनी ,दरबारी कान्हड़ा and पीलू .It has been masterly sung by KAVITA KRISHNAMURTHY, mostly using तार सप्तक .In between the singing of song,timely use of सरगम in choral voices, has given a beauty and गति in its presentation.With the sun rising on the screen singing starts with a morning melody राग कलिंगडा "सूरज नाचे सागर नाचे ,सारा जग गीतों पर नाचे, गीत बिना ज़िन्दगी क्या ?सूरज नाचे सागर नाचे ....| नृत्य कला ने यौवन मद में गीतों को ललकारा .चाल के बल पर ताल के बल पर दिया जो काला को सहारा | मेघ मल्हार मैं छेड़ूँ जिस पल,उमड़ घुमड़ कर आओ बादल |गरजो रे बरसो रे ..सा सा नि ध .... पानी अभिमानी बह जाए ,सागर भी सूखे रह जाये |सारा जग गीतों पर नाचे,गीत बिना ज़िन्दगी क्या ?सूरज नाचे... नर्तकी हो या अप्सरा कोई ,राग को किसने हराया |राग के अन्दर आग छुपी है आग को किसने हराया || दीपक राग सुनाती हूँ मैं ,अग्नि देवता जागो |गीतों की है अग्नि परीक्षा ,गीतों की लाज बचाओ || नैन तीसरा खोलो शंकर जग में आग लगा दो |अग्नि देवता जागो ,अग्नि देवता जागो || दिया जलाओ ,दिया जलाओ ....... During the singing of this part, in extreme excitement,singer Poonam Dhillon's taanpura's string tears off and she finds herself defaeted.Then in a winning mood dancer Shridevi jumps into the singer's arena and dances on this song: नट नाचे नटराजा नाचे नाच बिना ज़िन्दगी क्या ? बिजुरी नाचे, बदरा नाचे , नट नाचे नटराजा नाचे ,नाच बिना ज़िन्दगी क्या ,नाच बिना जिन्दगी क्या ...?

The above competitive lyrics are penned by आनंद  बख्शी .I am really thankful to my dear friend श्री के .एल .पाण्डेय  जी , for searching this raagmala and providing its audio track for publication.


The present Ragmala was created by music director Bappi Lahiri for film 'PATTHAR KE INSAAN'(1991) selecting the ragas:Deepak, Bahaar, Malhaar, Sohini, Darbari Kanhda and Piloo.The lyrics were written by poet Anjaan( real name: Lalji Pandey).The song is picturized as a competition between a singer and a dancer.The sets are grand and beautiful which make the music more impressive.Both try to prove that their art is supreme.Actress Poonam Dhillon plays as the singer and Shree Devi plays as the dancer.The song follows:
                   
sooraj nache sagar nache
sara jug geeton par nache
geet bina zindagi kya
sara jug geeton par nache
geet bina zindagi kya
sooraj nache sagar nache

nritya kala ne yauvan
mad mein geeton ko lalkara
taal ke bal par chaal ke bal par
naach bhala kab hara
megh malhar main chhedun jis pal
ghumad ghumad kar aaye badal
garjo re barso re garjo re barso re

pani khud pani ban jaye
khwab ruke to kya rah jaye
sara jug geeton par nache
geet bina zindagi kya
sara jug geeton par nache
geet bina zindagi kya
suraj nache sagar nache

deepak rag sunati hun main
agni dev tum jago
geeton ki hai agni pareeksha
geeton ki laj bachao
nain teesra kholo shankar
jug me aag laga do
agni devta jago
agni devta jago
diya jalao diya jalao
diya jalao diya jalao diya jalao

nat naache nat raja naache
naach bina zindagi kya
nat naache nat raja naache
naach bina zindagi kya
bijuri naache badra naache
bijuri naache badra naache
nat naache nat raja naache
naach bina zindagi kya
naach bina zindagi kya
