घोड़ा था घमंडी पहुंचा सब्ज़ी मंडी



Urmila Matondkar and Jugal Hansraj were child artists in this 1983 movie Masoom. The movie was Shekhar Kapoor's directorial debut (I might be wrong though), and written by Gulzar Sahib. Music for Masoom was written by RD Burman!

लकड़ी की काठी काठी पे घोड़ा
घोड़े की दुम पै जो मारा हथोड़ा
दौड़ा दौड़ा दौड़ा घोड़ा दुम उठा के दौड़ा

घोड़ा पहुंचा चौक में
चौक में था नाई
घोड़े जी की नाई ने हजामत जो बनाई
दौड़ा दौड़ा दौड़ा घोड़ा दुम उठा के दौड़ा

घोड़ा था घमंडी
पहुंचा सब्ज़ी मंडी
सब्ज़ी मंडी बरफ पड़ी थी
बरफ में लग गई ठंडी
तक बक तक बक
दौड़ा दौड़ा दौड़ा घोड़ा दुम उठा के दौड़ा

घोड़ा अपना तगड़ा है
देखो कितनी चर्बी है
चलता है महरौली में पर
घोड़ा अपना अरबी है
बांह छुड़ा के दौड़ा घोड़ा दुम उठा के दौड़ा

लकड़ी की काठी काठी पे घोड़ा
घोड़े की दुम पै जो मारा हथोड़ा
दौड़ा दौड़ा दौड़ा घोड़ा दुम उठा के दौड़ा




This song can make me cry! I don't really know why!

  1. Have very fond memories of this song from my childhood days.. Often end up singing in antakshari and singing nights these days too..

    Must have watched the movie so many times that I have lost count....

    You are doing a nice job of reconnecting with some of the classics of the yesteryears through CKD. Cheers to you !

    Thanks Bro!

  6. Hi,
    I had a question for you and it has got nothing to do with your post.

    I needed driving directions from detroit to Ithaca.. the shortest route. I know the route via ohio which takes like 7 hrs. But is there a shorter route than that via canada>

    Somebody suggested I take 94, take the tunnel to windsor and go thru canada which will take me upstate Ny. I tried googling but it shows 7 hrs and i was wondering if there was anything shorter.(may be like 5to 6 hrs)

    I have to leave around 3.00

    Thanks,

    Vinita

  7. Lovely song!

    I had a friend/classmate Ushma. She used to sing this so beautifully, the teachers would put her on top of their tables (she was like a doll) and she would stand on the table and sing this song. Oh it was the cutest... even as a kid she knew the whole thing by heart. For a very very long time, for me, this was Ushma's song. :) I miss her.
