Revisiting "Mile Sur mera tumhara"
Everytime Doordarshan played this song,my eyes would lit up and I would recite the song alongside.First I was fascinated by the video,then it was the Celebreities,then the music and lastly it was the lyrics.Atleast I know I can say one sentence in languages I donot know!
It was brodcasted on Independence day of 1988 on Doordarshan by Lok seva Sanchar Parishad.
This truly is the National Integration song,showcasing India's geographical features with a blend of culture and hint of diversified people.celebrities from the North and South were shown along with sportsperson.
Nearly in 8 languages it was sung upon,namely Hindi,oriya,kashmiri,kannada,telugu,tamil,gujarati,marathi,punjabi,etc
These are the lyrics of the song-
"Mile sur mera tumharaa, Thoo sur bane hamaraa
sur kee nadhiyaan har disha se behkee saagar mein milee.
Baadalon ka roop leiker bharse halke halke...
Mile sur mera tumharaa.. thoo... sur bane
hamaara.. Mile sur mera tumhara...(hindi)
Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj
ek but baniye saayen taraj(kashmiri)
Tera sur mile mere sur de naal
milke bane ek nava surtaal(punjabi)
Mile sur mera tumharaa....tho sur bane hamaara..
Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara mile jadein geet ashaanjo madhur tarano
bane tadein(sindhi)
Sur ka dariya bahte saagar me mile badlaan da roop leike barasan
holle haule(urdu)
Isaindhal namm iruvarin suramum namadhakum.. Dhisai veru aanalum
aazi ser aarugal Mugilai mazaiyai pozivadu pol isai ...Namm
isssaiiii.... Thik thakida thathikakidA....thaka thimi thaka junu(tamil)
Nanna dhwanige ninna dhwani-ya, seridante namma dhwaniya..(kannada)
Naa swaramu nee swaramu sangammamai, mana swaram ga avatarinchey (telugu)
yende swaramum ningalude swaramum otthucheiyum Namudeya swaramai....(malayalam)
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti koroor koi ekshoor[2]...
Sriishti karoon woi katha (bengali)
Toma mora swarer milan srishti kare chalbochatano
male sur jo taro maro, bane aapno sur niralo (gujarati)
majhya tumchya julta tara madhur suranchya barasti dhara(marathi)
Sur ki nadiya har disha se behke saagar mein mile...
Baadlo ka roop leke barse halke halke..
Oh...Mile sur mera tumhara tho....sur bane hamara...
Mile Sur mera tumhara
tho sur bane hamara tho sur bane hamara
tho sur bane hamara"
I hope we all remeber our roots and strive for unity in diversity
