O Sajna
Lyrics & Chords
Timeless classic composed by Salil Chowdhury for the movie Parakh and sung ever so beautifully by Lata Mangeshkar.
This song was originally written and sung in Bengali “Na Jeeo Na”.
I see fabulous renditions by great Muziboo singers here. I’ve also sung this at many occasions – here is my version for Muziboo. Hope it is passable…
Thanks Kumar Srinivasan for helping me mix this.

Sudha – very nice pick . Knowing you from your other songs, felt that the flow could have been better .you got most of the twists and turns right, but felt it could flow smoother. But then, its a tough song :) . Feel wise, you could bring in some more happiness. Overall, a very good attempt -Sudha.

Radhika,
Thanks for your constructive comments – albeit truthful…. here’s my take – I lowered the scale since this pitch suits my voice better. Also, I tried to sing it as much feel and precision as possible, so this was one of my better attempts.
Its hard to please on this song since Lataji has set such a high standard on it…

Hi Sudha….
Loved it very much…Excellent voice and great modulations and expressions. Above all very confident singing.
Some harkats like ‘BahAAR aayi’, ‘man KA papeehara’ …‘jale mora JEEYARA’. ankhiyon mein RAINA’ could be better. Felt some landing notes not too perfect…
Overall a nice one…Keep them coming…

Nandita said
Very nice singing Sudha. Others have already pointed out areas of improvement. Thought would share something Suresh Wadkar said about this song to a contestant in a reality show. When Lata ji sang “pyaase pyaase mere nayan…… kho gaye” she sang it in one breath and that gave it that soft feel.

Sudha,
I just love this rendition for the seeming effortlessness. Gives the feeling that you are just humming this song to yourself while looking out of the window. That’s the best way I can describe it.
Please do try a Lata-Madan Mohan composition.

Rahul,
Thanks for visiting this song – Its one of my favorites and a special song in my life – I’m thrilled that I got 90% right acc. to you – this song is one of Salilda’s loveliest creations – he has a signature style in his music, and Lataji rates this as one of her toughest songs (atleast from what I’ve read…)
Will definitely work to do better in this song next time…
-Sudha

Hi, I am pretty new here, still, let me tell you, this is a very, very soft and peaceful voice…… 1 can find that calm and feeling with the music. Technique…. is not bad at all, and, somehow one can feel you sang it with the…. heart. Thanks

One more of my favourites. Loved the song and enjoyed.
Would like to hear Lataji’s song ‘Jaari jaari o kaari badariya’ from the hindi movie Azad (1955) in your voice :-)
Asim Ghosh said
Great rendition SudhaJi. You are a capable singer, and know your stuff well. Your ability to grasp and executing the murkhiyan are awesome.
What I thought missing in this evergreen SalilDa cover is energy, and little bit more confidence. Some words (“ras ki puuhar”, a couple “O sajna”s, for example) sounded casual.
Main to aap ki fan ban gaya. Would like to do a duet sometime, if that’s OK with you. Although, my singing is not at your level yet. Par, koshish karenge!
“Gaa-Ke Jiyo Toh …. Geet Hai Yeh Zindagi”

said
Thank you so much friends.
@Prashantji – Thank you. Yes, will try that song sometime. :-)
@AzimJi – Thank you so much. I agree, this cover is not at all upto the mark, imo as well. I think the problem you state is coz I used a lower scale as meri awaaz baithi hui thi, and that compromised the happy brightness in the song. Bilkul, we can do a duet sometime. :-)

Sudha Kumar ji, kia baat hae! You have sung with great expressions and your rendition was pure honey. I was enjoying your melodious song with my eyes closed but suddenly it finished so quickly. I have to download to listen to it again and again.
Please be assured that you are an accomplished singer and you are gifted with sur and melodious voice quality. Very few, among us have that capability, specially me as I have no control over my voice frequency. LOL.
Thank you for sharing and all your time and effort in uploading this evergreen classic.
God Bless.
