Chahe Pandit Ho Chahe Kazi Song Lyrics in English
Chahe pandit ho chahe kazi
Rah ek hai dawar ek hai sun jara
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Koi bhi hai wo yaar yaar hai sun jara
Kar na gustakhiya akal se kam le
Lena hai agar tujhe allah ka nam le
Badh ke baho me tu yaar ko tham le
Dosti ke liye yaar ka jam le
Sab kuch bhulke chal hum
Masti me jhum le
Wo diwana hai kisne jana hai
Jurm to nahi pyar karta hai bawra
Kya khrabi hai wo sarabi hai
Bad pine ke sach to kahta hai bawra
Jo gunehgar hai sabse darte hai wo
Apne karmo ka fal roke bharte hai wo
Jisme sachayi hai haske marte hai wo
Atma jo kahe ham to karte hai wo
Sab kuch bhul ke kal hum masti me jhume
Ye dosti hai bandagi ispe fida ye jindgi
Karti nahi beimaniya ye chahat ki kurbaniya
Kya hai bhala kya hai bura
Ye hai yaha kisko pata
Mandir me ga mszid me ga
Ishwar khuda koi bana
(Chahe pandit ho chahe kazi ho
Rah ek hai dwar ek hai sun jara
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Koi bhi hai wo yar yar hai sun jara
Kar na gustakhiya akal se kam le
Lena hai agar tujhe allah ka nam le
Badh ke baho me tu yar ko tham le
Dosti ke liye yaar ka jam le
Sab kuch bhulke chal hum
Masti me jhum le) – (2)
Chahe Pandit Ho Chahe Kazi Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
चेहा पंडित हो चहे काजी
राह एक है दवार एक है सन जरा
Ya pujari ho ya namaji हो
कोई भी है वू यार यार है सन जारा
कर Na GustAkhiya Akal Se Kam Le
लेना है agar tujhe अल्लाह का नाम ले
Badh Ke Baho Me Tu Yaar Ko Tham Le
डोस्टी के ली यार का जाम ले
सब कुच भुल्के चाल हम
Masti Me Jhum Le
वो दीवाना है किसने जन है
नाहि प्यार कर्ता है बाहरा को जुराम
के ख्रबी है वो सरबी है
बेड पाइन के सच से काता है बावर
Jo gunhegar hai sabse darte hai wo
Apne Karmo Ka Fal Roke भारती है वाह
Jisme Sachayi है Haske मार्टे है वाह
Atma jo kahe ham to karte hai wo
सब कुच भुल के कल हम मस्त मुझे झूम
तुम दोस्ती है बांदागी इस्पे फिडा ये जिंदगी
Karti Nahi Beimaniya Ye Chahat Ki Kururbaniya
के है भाला के है भारा
ये है याहा किस्को पटा
मंदिर मैं गा mszid me ga
ईश्वर खुदा कोई बाना
(चाहे पंडित हो चाहे काजी हो
राह एक है द्वार एक है सन जरा
Ya pujari ho ya namaji हो
कोई भी है वू यार यार है सन जारा
कर Na GustAkhiya Akal Se Kam Le
लेना है agar tujhe अल्लाह का नाम ले
Badh Ke Baho Me Tu Yar Ko Tham Le
डोस्टी के ली यार का जाम ले
सब कुच भुल्के चाल हम
Masti Me Jhum Le) – (2)
About the movie – Hey Ram
The film starts with Saketh Ram as a very old man and almost immediately goes into flashback. As a young man he is among his friends, in conviviality. He has taken a Bengali wife, Aparna, and everything is wonderful in his life, However the year is 1946, and the imminent independence of India from British suzerainty is complicated by religious antagonism between the Hindu majority and the large Muslim minority, who demand their own independent state. Saketh and Aparna visit Calcutta; rioting is reported, but Saketh goes out to get some food, and he soon encounters a Hindu woman being chased by Muslim rioters. He rescues her, but the rioters later come to his house, and brutally rape and then kill his wife. Saketh is devastated and takes to the streets, determined personally to kill as many Muslims as he can find. He meets up with Sriram Abhiyankar, who is leading a group of Hindu extremists, and Saketh becomes temporarily taken with the cause himself. At the same time, he is persuaded to take a new wife, Mythili, and life begins to stabilize for Saketh after all. However he then falls in with an eminent Maharajah who is leading an underground group with the intention of assassination. Travelling with the Maharajah, Saketh meets one of his old friends from younger days, who has fallen on hard times. Reminiscing, and getting his old friend back on his feet deflect the process of recruiting Saketh, but only temporarily, and soon he is manipulated into committing himself to renouncing his family and his new wife, in the interests of the cause which now is disclosed as the assassination of Gandhi. Although a fellow Hindu, Gandhi was felt by some to be too conciliatory to Muslims and in the logic of extremists, Gandhi became the prime target. Soon Saketh is informed that Gandhi will be in Delhi for some weeks, and that Saketh is to take the opportunity to do “his duty”. However, hiding from a snap search by the police, he has to hide his pistol on a delivery lorry, and it is driven away to a factory owned by Muslims. Going there hoping to retrieve the gun, he becomes engulfed in a shoot-out between some Hindu attackers and the Muslims, and finds that his loyalties are not so clear cut as he had imagined. Finally he escapes after the death of another of his old friends in the crossfire. The next day, January 30th 1948, he contrives to be near Gandhi in a public prayer ground, his appointment with destiny. But the film still has 20 minutes to run, and the ending is not what you expect.
