Duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyya duniyaa ek kahaani
Posted on: July 26, 2010
In Bollywood movies,”Mela” (Fair) plays a very important role in the progress of the story. Family members go to a “Mela” and enjoy themselves and then they get separated, only to meet at the last reel of the movie.
“Afsaanaa” (1951) was one of the first Hindi movies to adopt this formula. The formula was quite a success and it continued to get repeated for the next three decades.
Here is a song from “Afsaanaa” (1951). This shows three kids-two brothers and a girl going to a mela with an elder. The elder advises the three kids to go enjoy themselves while cautioning them to take care not to get separated in the crowd. Famous last words, of course.:D
The kids visit various stalls in the mela and amuse themselves. And a song commences. Here is this lovely “mela” song. This song is sung by Rafi. I have no idea about the actor who lip syncs this song on screen. Can anyone identify him ?
The lyrics are simply outstanding and one must appreciate Saraswati Kumar “Deepak”, the lyricist of this song. And Husnlal Bhagatram could be relied upon to come up with wonderful music.
I listened to this song for the first time only a few hours ago, and I was highly impressed.
Here is this lovely song from “Afsaanaa” (1951).

Lyrics
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
toone kah di maine kah di
duniyaa ek kahaani
is duniyaa ke mele mein
koyi raajaa hai koyi raani
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
is mele mein haar jeet hai
aur mele kaa mel
is mele mein udan khatole
haathi ghode rail
kahin hindole kahin tamaashe
tarah tarah ke khel
is mele mein paanaa khonaa
jeewan bahtaa paani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
hariyal le lo
pariyal le lo
le lo chandaa taaraa
aao chunnu
aao munnu
aao chunnu
aao munnu
le lo nayaa gubbaaraa
muniyaa raani
muniyaa raani hamen bataa do
kyaa hai naam tumhaaraa
kas kar dor pakadnaa bitiyaa
mat karnaa naadaani
is dhaage mein bandhi rahegi
teri preet puraani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
aaj yahaan kal kahaan hamen
le jaayegi taqdeer
kaun kahe kiski aankhon mein
kab bhar aaye neer
ek baar jo khinchi preet ki
mitati nahin lakeer
ek baar jo khinchi preet ki
mitati nahin lakeer
bhool na jaanaa bhatak na jaanaa
maayaa aani jaani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
re bhaiyaa duniyaa ek kahaani
duniyaa ek kahaani re bhaiyaa
duniyaa ek kahaani
