चलो मन गंगा यमुना तीर....

"Chalo man Ganga-Yamuna teer". 

'Have been seeing this tag line since long during
Kumbh  Mela at Prayagraj but never knew before
that it is a bhajan by the saint poetess Meera Bai.

Please enjoy this famous bhajan in the voice of 
renowned vocalist of the yester era.

चलो मन गंगा यमुना तीर

चलो मन गङ्गा-जमुना तीर ।
गङ्गा-जमुना निर्मल पानी । शीतल होत शरीर ।। बंसी बजावत गावत कान्हा । संग लिये बलबीर ।। मोर-मुकुट पीताम्बर सोहे । कुण्डल झलकत हीर ।। मीरा के प्रभु गिरिधर नागर । चरण कमल पर सीर ।।

D.V. Paluskar :- Pandit Dattatreya Vishnu Paluskar (May 28, 1921 - October 26, 1955), was a Hindustani classical vocalist. He was considered a child prodigy. D.V. Paluskar was born in Nasik, Maharashtra to well-known Hindustani musician the legendary Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. His original surname was Gadgil, but as they hailed from the village Palus (near Sangli), they came to be known as the "Paluskar" family. He was only ten years old when his father died, and was subsequently trained by Pandit Vinayakrao Patwardhan and Pandit Narayanrao Vyas. He was also trained by Pandit Chintamanrao Paluskar and Pandit Mirashi Buwa. D.V. Paluskar gave his debut performance at the Harvallabh Sangeet Sammelan in Punjab at the age of fourteen. He inherited the Gwalior gharana and the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, but he was always open to adopting aesthetic features of other gharanas and styles. He had a very sweet and melodious voice. His alap clearly outlined the raga he sang; this was followed by the bandish embellished by beautiful taans in an effortless enchanting style. He was a master at presenting an attractive and comprehensive picture of a raga in a very short duration. Besides pure classical music, he was also a great bhajan singer. He cut his first disc in 1944 and visited China as a member of the Indian cultural delegation in 1955. He is also famous for an unforgettable duet with Amir Khan in the film Baiju Bawra.

मधु-रजनी



मधु-रजनी 
-अरुण मिश्र.

आज     सुहानी    रात,    सुन्दरी,
सिहर   रहे   तरु   पात,   सुन्दरी |
फूली     आशाओं   की     बगिया ,
फलती   मन  की  बात,   सुन्दरी ||

तुममें    और    प्रकृति   में  देखो 
कैसा   साम्य    सजा   है,    रानी |
जो       मेरे-तेरे     मन    में     है ,
रात     रचाती,      वही     कहानी ||

नभ-गंगा   का   मनहर    पनघट ,
सलज  निशा, लेकर   यौवन-घट |
गूँथ     केश,     तारक-कलिकायें,
नुपुर   से   मुखरित  करती   तट ||

मधुर   चाँद   चेहरा   है  जिसका ,
उमर , उमंगें , सब कुछ, नटखट |
जाने   क्यूँ    डाले   है   फिर   भी ,
झीने    बादल      वाला      घूँघट ??

किन्तु , हवा  क्या कम  शरारती ?
हटा   रही   है    पल-पल   अंचल |
बढ़ी    जा   रही    है   मधु-रजनी ,
धरती डगमग, पग प्रति,  चंचल ||

श्यामल-श्यामल     मेघ-खंड  दो ,
लगा   रहे   हैं ,   काजल     काले |
राका  के   स्वप्निल  नयनों    में ,
जगा   रहे    हैं ,   सपन    निराले ||

चूनर,    धवल    उजास,   सुन्दरी|
तारक,     हीरक-हास ,     सुन्दरी | 
आज   लगा   हो,  ज्यूँ  पूनम  को,
सोलहवाँ      मधुमास      सुन्दरी ||

क्यूँ    इतना    शरमाई   यामिनि?
झिझक-झिझक बढ़ रही ठगी सी|
प्राची   में    प्रीतम   का    घर   है ,
प्रात    मिलेगी,   प्रीति  पगी  सी ||

यह  शायद   अभिसार  प्रथम  है ,
पथ  मुदमंगल,  मृदुल कुसुम हो | 
मेरी  तो  यामिनि,  निशि,  राका ,
रजनी ,   तारक ,  चंदा   तुम  हो ||
                       *
