बडे बढाई ना करे........

I had just started watching Raaz-2; The movie begins with these words from the wise - संत कबीर.....

"बुरा जो देखन मै चला , बुरा ना मिलेया कोय,
देखन मन जो आपना , मुझसे बुरा ना कोय;"


Suddenly in a flash of light I remembered the song
'बडे बढाई ना करे' from the 1978 movie 'अंखियोन के झरोके से'; not only the movie was famous for it being a lovely innocent love story, but also for the beautiful songs composed by Ravindra Jain. There goes Raaz-2, into oblivion!!

The song
'बडे बढाई ना करे' contains couplets from संत कबीर, अब्दुल रहिम खान-ए-खाना (one of the nine gems of King Akbar), and तुल्सीदास.
The song has a lot to say, especially about making simple our already complicated lives.
Listen carefully, for the lyrics are gem, and watch it only for ranjeeta;



बडे बढाई ना करें, बडे ना बोले बोल,
रहीमन हीरा कब बोले, लाख टका मेरो मोल रहीमा,
"The truly great never reveal their worth. Nor do those who are truly worthy of praise, praise themselves. Says Rahim, when does a diamond reveals it's value."

जो बढेन को लघु कहे, नही रहीम घट जाये,
गिरिधर मुरलीधर कहे, कछु दुख् मानत नाये रहीमा;
"As someone calls Shree Krishna (गिरिधर) a mere मुरलीधर, he never makes a grouse of it, in the same way you shouldn't if someone taunts you or tells you that you are small."

ग्यानी से कहिये कहा, केहत कबीर लज्जाये,
अन्धे आगे नाचते, कला अकारत जाये कबीरा;
"When Kabir is asked to teach an intellectual, he feels shy; it's like, What is the use of showing dancing skills to one who is blind."

ऐसी वाणी बोलिये, मन क आपा खोय,
औरन को शीतल करे, आपन शीतल होय कबीरा;
"Speak sweet words such, the woe of your heart is gone; Others hearts are endeared, and your heart of sorrow atone."

रात गवायी सो के, दिवस गवायो खाय,
हीरा जनम अमोल का, कोडी बद्ला जाये कबीरा;
"One wastes night by sleeping, the day goes in eating and frivolous activities; This is how a person who in nature was like diamond by birth wastes and reduces himself to a mere metal worthless in nature."

Ha ha!! This is what I feel like, hah, a graduate student......

तुल्सि भरोसे राम के, निर्भय होकर सोय,
अन्होनी होनी नहीं, होनी हो सो होय रे तुल्सि;
"This couplet by Tulsidas tells to pin your faith upon God. Nothing can go wrong if God is in your favor"

मेरी भाव बाधा हरो, राधा ना गरी सोय,
जा तनु के पर्चाई पर, श्याम हरित द्विति होय बिहारी;
"Hey, Goddess Shri Radha, Who's shadow is enough to make Lord Krishna happy; You take care of my life and of all my troubles."

दुख मे सुमिरन सब करे, सुख मे करें न कोय,
जो सुख मे सुमिरन करे, तो दुख काहे को होय कबीरा;
"Everyone remembers God in troubles, but not in happiness and fulfillment; If one remembers God at all times, then there would be no troubles at all."

आवत ही हर्से नही, नैनन नही सनेह,
तुल्सि कहा ना जाईये, चाहे कंचन बर्से मेघ रे तुल्सि;
" Can someone point out the meaning of this to me, i'm desperate to find out "

And now for the killer.....

"बुरा जो देखन मै चला , बुरा ना मिलेया कोय,
देखन मन जो आपना , मुझसे बुरा ना कोय;"
"I went in search of evil, only to find none; looking into myself, realized there was more evil none."

रहीमन धागा प्रेम का, मत तोडो चट्काय,
टूते से फिर ना जुडे, जुडे गांठ पड जाये रहीमा;

"Says Rahim, do not allow the (delicate) thread of love to snap. Once it snaps, it cannot be rejoined and if you do rejoin it, there would always be complications in it."


बिगडी बात बने नहि, लाख करो किन कोय,

रहीमन बिगडे दूध को, मठे न माखन होय रहीमा; मठे न माखन होय..............

"If a task is not done well (passion here), it is difficult to accomplish results, same way if milk is spoiled, one won't get butter by stirring it."


Huh!!!

Finally after an hour of google and typing, here I am admiring Ranjeeta over and over again, and of course the couplets, they are amazing too. Wonder if people apply every word of this song, in their lives?!!! or would I !!!.....

back to Raaz-2..........

Btw here is another good song from the movie......

आवत ही हर्षे नहीं , नैनन नहीं स्नेह
तुलसी वहां न जाईए चाहे कंचन बरसे मेह....

अपने आगमन पर जिस घरके सदस्योंकी आंखोमें स्नेह न दिखें , हर्षके भाव न दिखें ....
तुलसी कहेतें हैं कि वहां नहीं जाना चाहिए , फीर चाहे उस घरमें सोना ही क्यों न बरसता हो ।
(चाहे कंचन बरसे मेह)
