BABLA MEHTA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY MASTER: MUKESH CHAND MATHUR
Babla was born to Inderjeet and Raj Rani Mehta, a simple middle-class family with no musical pedigree. His father was a banker who was a fan of Manna Dey. In his early years, Babla developed his passion for music from his father. A quick learner, with a good ear for music, Babla started humming and singing in his teens, but, being shy, he never had the confidence to sing on stage during his school and college days. One day, he corrected a college mate for not hitting right notes while singing a song. The boy took offense and rudely questioned his musical credentials. The incident fueled the resolve in Babla to start singing in public and show the world his capabilities.

That was the beginning. After completing his education, he followed in his fatherâs footsteps to begin a career in banking, though he knew his true calling was music. So he started singing in live music shows. At one such show, music mughal Gulshan Kumar spotted his talent and signed him on to cut a disc. Though he quit his job, he kept the pretense of working until his album was released. Then he broke the news and sought his parentsâ blessings. Thus began his journey.

Due to the close resemblance of his voice to the legendary singer Mukesh (Mukesh Chand Mathur), Babla began his career recording covers of Mukesh songs for T-Series. Then one day, in 1990, seminal Indian film composer R.D. Burman was passing through Khar, Mumbai, when he heard the song âSajan re jhoothmut boloâ blaring from an audio cassette shop. Burman commented on how well Mukesh had sung the song, and was surprised to learn it was not Mukesh, but the voice of Babla coming from the shop. He was so impressed he contacted Babla and asked to meet him the very next day. Then Pancham Da took Babla under his wing, and he became a regular singer in Pancham Daâs live shows.

Unfortunately, Puncham Daâs failing health delayed his film music debut.
Babla's career in film music took off under the guidance of the music director Shiv-Hari in Yash Raj Film's Chandni in 1989, and Babla's duet "Tere Mere Hoton Pe" with Lata Mangeshkar became his debut song in Hindi films. Soon Babla was singing for leading music directors like Nadeem-Shravan, Rakesh Roshan, Bappi Lahri, Anu Malik, etc. Some of the blockbusters in which he sang were Chandani, Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin and Sadak.

The sudden death of Mukesh in 1976 created a vacuum among his countless fans. With Babla's voice resembling the legend closely, Babla Mehta stepped in with his renditions of popular Mukesh numbers in live shows and recordings. He has rendered over 250 songs of Mukesh compiled in 10 solo albums and 6 albums of duets. The success of these albums has established Babla as âthe voice of Mukeshâ in popular imagination.

Why has the springtime, after robbing my garden put the blame on autumn?
Accepted that someone has enmity for me, but why give it the name of friendship?

1) BAHARON NE MERA CHAMAN LOOT KAR
http://newmp3mad.com/128-13943...man%20Loot%20Kar.mp3
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar, khijaa ko ye
iljaam kyo de diyaa
Why has the springtime, after robbing my garden,
put the blame on autumn
Kisee ne chalo dushmanee thee magar,
ise dosatee naam kyo de diyaa
Accepted that someone had enemity for me,
but why give it the name of friendship
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Mai samazaa naheen aye mere humanashee,
(sajaa ye milee hain muze kisaliye)2
I don't understand, my friend,
why I got this punishment
Ke saakee ne lab se mere chhinakar,
kisee aaur ko jaam kyo de diyaa
That **saakee took the cup from my lips
and gave to someone else
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Mujhe kyaa pataa thaa kabhee ishk mein,
(rakeebon ko katib banaate nahee)2
How was I to know that you never
ask rivals to be your letter writer
Khataa ho gayee muz se katib mere,
tere haath paigaam kyo de diyaa
I made a mistake of my letter writer,
in whose hand I gave your message
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Khudaayaa yahaa tere insaaf ke
(bahot maine charche sune hain magar)2
Oh God I have heard so much about your justice
Sajaa kee jagah ek khataawaar ko,
bhalaa toone inaam kyo de diyaa
Instead of punishing one who made a mistake,
why have you rewarded him
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
saakee** is the lady hostess who fills and refills the cups of wine

This poor heart's only fault was being naive.
Oh, every heart makes a mistake sometime or another

2) BHOOLE SE MOHABAT KAR BAITHA
http://newmp3mad.com/128-13943...t%20Kar%20Baitha.mp3
Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai
I unknowingly fell in love.
This poor heart's only fault was being naive.
Oh, every heart makes a mistake sometime or another
Please don't get upset, Oh God, it's just a heart.
After all, it's only a heart
(Is tarah nigahe mat phero)2
(Aisa na ho dhadkan rukh jaaye)2
(Seene mein koi patthar to nahin)2
Ehsaas ka maara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai, dil hi to hai.
Please, do not look away from me like that
For my heart may just happen to stop beating.
Inside my chest lies not a stone,
But a heart with no feeling.
Oh, every heart makes some mistake or another
Please don't get upset, oh God, it's just a heart. It's only a heart.
(Bedaag garon ki tokar se)2
(Sab khwaab suhaane choor hue)2
(Ab dil ka sahaara gam hi to hai)2
(Ab gam ka sahaara (dil hi to hai)2
I've been abused by many people
And all my pleasant dreams have been shattered.
Now, the only solace for my heart is sorrow
And the only support for that sorrow is my heart
Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechaara dil hi to hai
Har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigadon na khudaara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai.
I made the mistake of falling in love.
My heart was innocent and after all, it's just a heart
Every heart makes mistakes
Please don't be angry, o God, it's only a heart
It's just a heart.

3) CHAND KE DEEWAR NA TODI
http://newmp3mad.com/128-13943...war%20Na%20Tordi.mp3
(Chand ki deewaar na todi, pyar bhara dil tod diya)2
Wall of silver wasn't pulled down, but it broke a heart full of love
Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor
Chandi ki Deewar
Wall of silver
Kal tak jisane qasamein khaein, dukh mein sath nibhane ki
Till yesterday the one who vowed to stay true in adversity
Aj vo apane sukh ki khatir, ho gai ik begane ki
Today for the sake of her comforts, she gave herself to another Shahanaiyon ki gunj mein dabake, rah gai Ah divane ki
The echoes of clarinets suppressed the sound of love crazed sighing Dhanavanon ne divane ka, Gam se rishta jod diya
The rich linked the love crazed with grief
Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor
Chandi ki Deewar
Wall of silver
Ye kya samajhe pyar ko jinaka, sab kuchh chandi sona hai
Will they consider love instead of those who care for gold and silver Dhanavanon ki is duniya mein, dil to ek khilauna hai
In this world of the rich the heart is just a plaything
Sadiyon se dil tutata aya, dil ka bas ye rona hai
From centuries the heart keeps getting broken, such is the tragedy Jab tak chaha dil se khela, aur jab chaha tod diya
Toyed with the heart as long as it pleased and broke it on a whim
Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor
Chandi ki Deewar
Wall of silver

Where did those days go
Kehte the teri raah meein
When you said that in my path
Najaron ko hum bichhayenge)2
You will bestow your gaze
Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,
Wherever you are
Chaahenge tum ko umr bhar
I will love you forever
Tum ko naa bhool paayenge

Mere kadam jahaan pade,
Wherever my feet left prints
Sajade kiye the yaar ne
My friend bowed and kissed that ground
Mere kadam jahaan pade,
Wherever my feet left prints
Sajade kiye the yaar ne
My friend bowed and kissed that ground
Mujhko rulaa rulaa diyaa,
Oh how many tears I have shed
Jaatee huyee bahaar ne
Over the last days of spring
Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
Where did those days go
Kehte the teri raah meein
When you said that in my path
Najaron ko hum bichhayenge
You will bestow your gaze
Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,
Wherever you are
Chaahenge tum ko umr bhar
I will love you forever
Tum ko naa bhool paayenge
I will never forget you
Apni nazar mein aaj kal
In my eyes, nowadays
Din bhi andheri raat hai
Even the days are as dark as the night
Apni nazar mein aaj kal
In my eyes, nowadays
Din bhi andheri raat hai
Even the days are as dark as the night
Saayaa hi apane saath thaa,
Shadows were my only comapnions then
Saayaa hi apane saath hai
Shadows are my only companions now.
Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
Where did those days go
Kehte the teri raah meein
When you said that in my path
Najaron ko hum bichhayenge
you will bestow your gaze
Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke
Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion to her
Sajan ghar jaanaa hai
You are heading for your lover's home
Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke
Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her
Sajan ghar jaanaa hai
You are heading for your lover's home
Kaahe chhalake naino ki gagari kaahe barase jal
Why are you crying so much? ???
Tum bin suni saajan ki nagari paradesiyaa ghar chal
Your lover's life is lonely, o traveler go home
Pyaase hai dip gagan ke, tere darshan ke
His eyes are waiting to see you

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke
Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her
Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

Lut na jaae jivan kaa deraa mujhako hai ye gam
I am very sad when I do think of losing her and our home
Ham akele, ye jag luteraa bichhade na milake ham
I am alone in this cruel world, hope for no separation
Bigade nasib na banake ye din jivan ke
Hope that we are not destined to separate after meeting
Sajan ghar jaanaa hai
You are heading for your lover's home
Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke
Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her
Sajan ghar jaanaa hai
You are heading for your lover's home
Dole naina pritam ke dvaare milane ki he dhun
Eyes are searching and my lips are humming tunes of love
Baalam teraa tujhako pukaare yaad aanevaale sun
Listen your lover is remembering and calling for you
Saathi milenge bachapan ke khilege phul mann ke
Childhood friends will happily soon be meeting,
