Posted on: June 20, 2013
We all are aware of the movie called “Ghar” (1978). It turns out that anotther movie with the same title was released as far back as in 1945. It was a Sunrise Production movie. It was directed by V M Vyas. The movie had Jamuna, Nawab, Molina, Yakub, Kalyani, Dulari, Iftikar, W. M. Khan, Mohan, Mirza Musharaff etc in it.
Here is a song from this movie. It is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewaali. Roopbani is the lyricist. Music is composed by A R Qureshy. Only the audio of this song is available and so it is difficult to make guesses about the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by nahm.

Lyrics(Provided by nahm)
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
itni badi duniyaa mein
teri kaun sunegaa
itni badi duniyaa mein
teri kaun sunegaa
kaun sunegaa
kaun sunegaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
qismat ne tere seene pe jo
teer hai maaraa
teer hai maaraa
qismat ne tere seene pe jo
teer hai maaraa
hai dhoor(?)mitaaya teraa
ghar baar ujaadaa
hai dhoor(?) mitaaya teraa
ghar baar ujaadaa
chheen ke tujh se tere
jeewan ka sahaara
chheen ke tujh se tere
jeewan ka sahaara
o pal ki suhaagan
o tujhe kehte hain vidhwaa
kehte hai vidhwaa
o pal ki suhaagan
o tujhe kehte hain vidhwaa
kehte hai vidhwaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na baha
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
kaanton bharaa rastaa
tere jeewan ka saheli
kaanton bharaa rastaa
tere jeewan ka saheli
jeena hi padegaa tujhe
duniyaa mein akeli
jeena hi padegaa tujhe
duniyaa mein akeli
bigdi huyi taqdeer pe
ab ronaa yeh kaisa
bigdi huyi taqdeer pe
ab ronaa yeh kaisa
bedard zamaana teri
haalat pe hansegaa
haalat pe hansegaa
bedard zamaana teri
haalat pe hansegaa
haalat pe hansegaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
fariyaad na kar
aansoo na bahaa
Ajeeb hai zindagi ki manzil

hain aur bhi duniyaa mein sukhanwar bahut achchhe
kahte hain ki Ghalib kaa hai andaaz-e-bayaan aur
Whenever I remember this maqta of Ghalib’s ghazal, Majrooh Sultanpuri’s name props up in my mind. I always felt how apt it would be if words ‘duniyaa’ and ‘Ghalib’ from the maqta she’r were replaced with ‘filmi jahaan’ and ‘Majrooh’. During Majrooh Sultanpuri’s time, there were renowned poet-lyricists like Sahir Ludhianvi, Shakeel Badayuni, Shailendra, Kaifi Azmi, Jan Nisar Akhtar and later, Gulzar, Javed Akhtar etc. but Majrooh’s andaaz-e-bayaan , the sophistication even in his teasing, racy and light hearted lyrics in Hindi film songs was something which became the hallmark of his style of song writings. He wrote songs trending with the time. Perhaps this explains why Majrooh Sultanpuri had one of the longest innings of over five decades in the Hindi film industry, penning songs for most of the well known music directors – from Naushad in 1946 to A R Rehman in 2000.

In Hindi film industry, there were many artists – actors, playback singers, lyricists and music directors who after starting their careers soon faded into oblivion as they could not get on a firm footing in the industry. But there were some who remained with the film industry for a long time even though success eluded them. One of such artists was Shankar Dasgupta, playback singer and music director.

Shamshad Begam (14 april 1919- 23 april 2013) is no more. She was the seniormost among all the survivors from the earliest days of Hindi movie music. She in fact was senior to all the legends of the golden era of Hindi movie music. She was more or less a contemporary of the likes of K L Saigal, Khursheed, Amirbai Karnataki etc.

If I were to ask the question ‘what was the common between Shailendra, Jaan Nisar Akhtar and Nyay Sharma’, the obvious answer is that they were lyricists for Hindi film songs during the golden era of Hindi film music. There is one more commonality between them. All of them tried their hands in producing a Hindi film in the 1960s which resulted in great financial strains on them from which they did not fully recover. In fact, after the release of their films, their careers as lyricist was on the downhill and in case of Shailendra, it ended with his untimely death.
