अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठा कर
अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठा कर
घूँट चांदनी पी है हमने
बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने
अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठा कर

कैसे इसका कर्ज़ चुकाएं
माँग के अपनी मौत के हाथों
कैसे इसका कर्ज़ चुकाएं
माँग के अपनी मौत के हाथों
उम्र की सूनी सी है
हमने बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने
अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठा कर

अपना इसमे कुछ भी नहीं है
अपना इसमे कुछ भी नहीं है
कुछ भी नहीं है
दो दिल जैसे दो दिल जैसे
उसकी अमानत
उसको वही
तो दी है
हमने बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने





अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही
बादल का एक जाम उठा कर

Overall Meaning

The song "Ambar Ki Ek Pak Surahi" by Asha Bhosle describes the beauty of a clear sky and the simplicity of life. The lyrics suggest that just like the pure and clear sky, a person's life should also be devoid of any negativity or impurities. The first two lines talk about a pitcher filled with the essence of clouds, which is to be enjoyed by humans. The singer has taken a sip from this pitcher and feels rejuvenated by the purity of it.


The third and fourth lines further elaborate on the purity of the sky, by saying that the singer has consumed the moonlight in the same way as the clouds. The next lines suggest that the singer has no inheritance, like a debt, from this pure sky, and he also owes nothing to this pure sky. The sky is pure, and so should be the life of humans. The song concludes by reiterating that the world is beautiful and simple, just like this clear sky, and with such purity, one can find peace and tranquility.


Overall, the song is a reminder to people that simplicity and purity in life are important, and one should strive towards achieving it. The sky is a beautiful and natural metaphor to demonstrate this message.

Masterpiece !
Masterpiece !!
MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get what's wrong with we Indian listeners.

WHY NOT LISTEN SUCH MASTERPIECES AND MAKE THEM RARE SONGS ??????

Ustad Vilayat Khan's song composition and my dearest Asha Bhosle's divine soul-stirring voice is making me cry infinitely !!!

WHAT A SONG !!!!!!!!!!

I'm feeling like listening this song forever.

For me, the divine voices of Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar definitely bring lot of tears to my eyes. Their voices are so effective to soul that it's raining tears automatically. To me, Lata Ji Rafi Ji Asha Tai and Kishore Da are as precious as my heart, which is not very much the case with other singers for me.

How can anyone dislike this masterpiece song creation?? God knows what's wrong with such dislikers (as I'm pretty sure there are many such people) !!!

The new generation nowadays has no sense of choices especially in music. Don't they know that Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar, Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, R D Burman and many other pioneers are eternal and can't be represented or remembered by their nonsense recreations???

All those who haven't listened these once-in-a-lifetime Asha Bhosle's ORIGINAL masterpiece songs, do listen them -
(NO OTHER, I REPEAT, NO OTHER LIVING OR DEAD PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE COULD SING ASHA BHOSLE SONGS AS GOOD AS DEAR ASHA BHOSLE HERSELF !)

1. Ambar Ki Ek Paak Surahi & Chain Se Humko Kabhi
2. Ghar Jaayegi, Bechaara Dil Kya Kare & Sajna Hai Mujhe
3. Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja, Duniya Mein Logon Ko & Dum Maaro Dum
4. Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba & Yeh Mera Dil Yaar Ka Deewana
5. Kar Le Pyaar Karne Ke Din Hain Yahi & Hungama Ho Gaya
6. Nigahein Milaane Ko
7. Aao Na Gale Lagaao Na
8. Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfo Ka Andhera
9. Deewana Mastaana Hua Dil
10. Shehron Ki Galiyon Mein
11. Bheegi Bheegi Fiza, Kyun Mujhe Itni Khushi De Di, Baag Mein Kali Khili & Raat Akeli Hai
12. Aao Huzoor Tumko Sitaron Mein Le Chalu
13. Aaiye Meherbaan
14. Acchha Ji Mai Haari
15. Chhoti Si Kahaani Se & Katra Katra Milti Hai
16. Jhumka Gira Re
17. Bhavra Bada Naadaan Hai
18. Tora Man Darpan
19. O Mere Sona Re
20. O Haseena Zulfo Waali

Many other Asha Bhosle songs are simply eternal like Chura Liya Hai Tumne, Pehle Pehle Pyaar Ki Mulaakaatein Yaad Hain, Aapke Kamre Mein Koi Rehta Hai, Aa Dekhen Zara, Ek Hasina Thi Ek Deewana Tha, all Parichay songs, Jawaani Deewani songs, Khushboo songs, Khoobsurat songs, Umraao Jaan songs, all Asha Bhosle peppy cheerful songs and cabaret songs, ghazals and many more.

Many more Asha Bhosle touch songs can be listed but I'd like to stop here.
(Note that the songs are not ranked from 1 to 20 as every song is so priceless that ranking them is just impossible.)

There are such innumerable songs of Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Rafi that I won't stop if I start listing those.

My favorite Kishore Kumar song (if I were to select only one) will be Roop Tera Mastaana. 'God' Kishore Kumar has literally poured in every atom of his heart, body and soul into that song to make it the all-time best song in history.

All dear YouTube viewers and friends, do listen to all above songs and reply the opinion on the same.

Do enjoy the above songs and fall in love with the miracle named Asha Bhosle.

My heart and heartbeat is all yours, (FIRSTLY FOR OUR MAA SARASWATI Lata Ji Mangeshkar and VOICE OF GOD Rafi Ji, and also) Asha Tai and Kishore Da !!!
😙😙😙😙😙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏


NOTE :

My choice of another couple of Asha Tai songs which are must-listen and actually are her best songs ever (Even Lata Mangeshkar can't sing these with such finesse...) -

Aage Bhi Jaane Naa Tu (Waqt) and Daiyya Yeh Mai Kahaan Aa Phasee (Caravan)


All dear readers, do reply your thoughts.

Ambar ki ek paak suraahi
Baadal ka ek jaam uthhaakar
Ghunt chaandani pi hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane

Kaise isaka krj chukaaye
Maang ke apani maut ke haathon
Umr ki suli si hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane

Apna is men kuchh bhi nahin hai
Roj-e-ajl se usaki amaanat
Usako wahi to di hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane

Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar
Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar
Ghunt chadani pi hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane
Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar

Kaise iss ka karz chukaye
Mang ke apani maut ke hatho
Kaise iss ka karz chukaye
Mang ke apani maut ke hatho
Amar ki suni si hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane
Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar

Apna isame kuchh bhi nahi hai
Apna isame kuchh bhi nahi hai
Kuchh bhi nahi hai
Do dil jalate
Do dil jalate uski amanat
Usko nahi to di hai hamane
Baat kufr ki ki hai hamane
Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar
Ambar ki ek pak surahi
Badal ka ek jaam utha kar.

Ambar Ki Ek Paak Surahi Lyrics

अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही Lyrics

अम्बर की एक पाक सुराही

बादल का एक जाम उठाकर

घूंट चांदनी पी है हमने

बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने

कैसे इसका क़र्ज़ चुकाये

मांग के अपनी मौत के हाथों

उम्र की सूली सी है हमने

बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने

अपना इस में कुछ भी नहीं है

रोज़-ए-अज़ल से उसकी अमानत

उसको वही तो दी है हमने

बात कुफ़्र की की है हमने

आशाजी को हृदय से नमन, अमृता प्रीतमजी की एक बेहद सुंदर कविता उन्होने बेमिसाल और बेजोड तरीके से पेश की है! जब संगीतकार ने अमृताजी से ये कविता माँगी, तब उन्होने शर्त रखी थी की उनकी कविता केवल आशाजी से ही गँवायी जाए! परिणाम आपके सामने है!!!
