Ravindra Jain

This is an unique raagmalika composed by music director Ravindra Jain in which  he has used various ragas in a sequence.These are: Kaafi, Bilawal,Kaafi,Bhairavi,Yaman Kalyan,Khammaj,Aasawari,Bahaar,Sohini,Darbari,Megh and Kaafi.The lyrics explaining the construction of various ragas when 'Shadaj' is replaced by another swar,is very interesting and this is written by Ravindra Jain himself.Because no lyricist or poet could write this  typical song based fully on the grammer of the ragas of Indian Classical Music.The film is unreleased therefore we do not know on whome this raagmalika is picturised.But as I feel this must be on Tansen himself.

Tansen's Samadhi,Gwalior(M.P.)

The lyrics of this raagmala is as follows:

Shadaj ne paya yeh vardan,

shadaj ne paya yeh vardan.

Koi bhi swar sa thahra kar,

gaa lo chatur sujaan...

shadaj ne paya yeh vardan,.......

Sa se ni tak shuddha swaron mein,

hota raag BILAWAL,ga ma re  ga  pa..

Re ko sa samjho to KAAFI,

ga ni jis mein komal,ni dha pa ma ga re..

Ga ko sa mano to BHAIRAVI ki hoti pehchan,

Shadaj ne paya yeh vardan,....

Aa aa..madhyam ko sa maan chalo to,

YAMAN KALYAN kahaye,ma dha re ni dha ni ma..

Shuddha swaron mein tivra madhyam

kaisi shobha paye,pancham sa ho jaye to aaye,

pa yadi sa ho jaye to aaye raag KHAMMAJ ka dhyan.

Shadaj ne paya yeh vardan...

Sa re pa pa dha re ga....

AASAWARI suhawani bhayee,dha sa dha sa re ga re ni,

gandhar dhaiwat nishad teeno hi komal,

meetha madhur swabhav chalan ke chanchal,

sun sun kar na bhare man pyasa dha sa bana jab dha sa,

sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa.

Ni ni ni..jab ni sa bani,do do madhyam par nahi pancham,

pancham ko tarse abhagini,ni ni....

bin ni ke neeki na BAHAAR.

Kahin komal kahin shuddha ye bankar, karti raagon ka shingar.

Saat swaron mein sabse oopar,

baithi mathey ki bindiya bankar,

suno gunijan phiki ni bin, Tansen ki taan,

shadaj ne paya yeh vardan..

O de ta na ne deem ta da na deem.....

O de ta na na deem ta da na deem....

Suye mana ke tera yaare wafadar manum,

Chakhda na da ke tera yaare kharidar manum.

O de ta na na deem ta na na deem..... 

Bol taal sur gum huye,har sunane wala jhoom uthey,

bol par bol,taan par taan,sargam par sargam,

chha jaaye bus ek masti  hi masti ka aalam.

Aise mein agar koi naar kiye singaar,

liye tan man mein ek jhankaar,

naachna chahe baarambaar,magar baithi ho man ko maar,

to gayak  kare dhoom,daud uthey ragon mein khoon,

bhool aadab,tod kanoon,bhare darbaar kare tatkaar,

bhare darbaar kare tatkaar..aa..aa..aa..aa..
