Voice of Mukesh #17

Ah, finally. I have with me now, the song from the 1946 film ‘Durbaan’ that has been eluding me so far. Graciously and thankfully sent to me by another collector friend. Readers will recall that this is the one song from 1946, still waiting to be posted, as we traverse the early years of Mukesh’s career. As per records, by the end of 1946, Mukesh had sung 21 songs in eleven films (starting from 1941).
‘Durbaan’ is an obscure film from 1946. Produced under the banner of Harishchandra Pictures, it is directed by SM Yusuf. The list actors for this film includes Kumar, Kaushalya, Yakub, Sulochana Chatterjee, Narang and Leela Misra. There is very little information available for film, and I request other knowledgeable readers and friends on the blog to please add more information.
The film has 10 songs, of which 8 are written by M Naseem, and 2 by Tanvir Naqvi. This song is from the pen of Tanvir Naqvi. Music is composed by Gulshan Sufi. This information is as per the Geet Kosh. However, Harish Raguvanshi ji, the compiler of the Mukesh Geet Kosh has informed that the music for this particular song is composed by Shankar Dasgupta. This information is as per the label of the specific record for this song.
This song is a duet sung by Binapani Mukherjee and Mukesh.It appears to be an exchange of the ‘jaadugar sainyyaan’ type. The lady is announcing that she is a snake, very poisonous and the gentleman claims to be a magician, who can change the poison to nectar with the music of his ‘been’, the snake charmer’s musical instrument.
Enjoy this rarest of rare songs, that took some time to trace out.
Song-Main naagan hoon(Durbaan)(1946) Singers-Binapani Mukherji, Mukesh, Lyrics-Tanvir Naqvi, MD-Shankar Dasgupta
Lyrics
main naagan hoon
main naagan hoon
zehreelee badi kateelee
vish hai mera gehnaa
mujhse bach kar rehnaa
main naagan hoon
hoon dekhan mein chamkeelee
hoon dekhan mein chamkeelee
badi kateelee
vish hai mera gehnaa
mujhse bach kar rehnaa
main naagan hoon
jal par mantar padh ke phoonkoon
to jal bhi jal jaaye
jam jaaye akaash mein suraj
chanda aag lagaaye
kaliyaan ban jaaye angaarey
boonden ban ke tapke taare
main aisi been bajaaun
main aisi been bajaaun
vish ko amrit kar deti hai jiski taan raseelee
jiski taan raseelee
vish ko amrit kar deti hai jiski taan raseelee
jiski taan raseelee
mera koi nahin hai saathi
main sabko das jaati
das jaati
mera koi nahin hai saathi
main sabko das jaati
das jaati
dasnaa mera kaam
maut hai mera naam
dasnaa mera kaam
maut hai mera naam
main maut hoon
main maut hoon
main maut hoon
rang rangeeli
badi kateelee
vish hai mera gehnaa
mujhse bach kar rehnaa
main naagan hoon

नागन हूँ
मैं नागन हूँ जहरीली
बड़ी कटीली
विष है मेरा गहना
मुझसे बच कर रहना
मैं नागन हूँ
हूँ देखन में चमकीली
हूँ देखन में चमकीली
बड़ी कटीली
विष है मेरा गहना
मुझसे बच कर रहना
मैं नागन हूँ
जल पर मंत्र पढ़ के फूँकूँ
तो जल भी जल जाये
जम जाये आकाश में सूरज
चंदा आग लगाए
कलियाँ बन जाएँ अंगारे
बूंदें बन कर टपकें तारे
मैं ऐसी बीन बजाऊँ
मैं ऐसी बीन बजाऊँ
विष को भी अमृत कर देती है
जिसकी तान रसीली
जिसकी तान रसीली
विष को भी अमृत कर देती है
जिसकी तान रसीली
जिसकी तान रसीली
मेरा कोई नहीं है साथी
मैं सबको डस जाती
डस जाती
मेरा कोई नहीं है साथी
मैं सबको डस जाती
डस जाती
डसना मेरा काम
मौत है मेरा नाम
डसना मेरा काम
मौत है मेरा नाम
मैं मौत हूँ
मैं मौत हूँ
मैं मौत हूँ
रंग रंगीली
बड़ी कटीली
विष है मेरा गहना
मुझसे बच कर रहना
मैं नागन हूँ
Yahaan bandhu aate ko hai jaana

This delightful and endearing sound of a heart that is finding love for the first time, took me by surprise. And the song seems to be really rare, in that I am not able to locate any published version online so far.

Most of us are aware that a ghazal is a series of couplets (she’rs), each one being independent of others. In fact each she’r is a poem by itself. So theoretically, she’rs written by different poets (shaayars) can be woven to make it a ghazal. This is easier said than done as there are other parameters to make it a traditional ghazal. Normally, there are five essential aspects of a traditional ghazal. They are

With the previous post in this series, we stepped into Mukesh’s world of 1947. His popularity and demand continued to increase. In this year, he has recorded 20 songs for nine films. Compare this with 7 songs for five films in 1946. We do recall that 1945 was good year for him, as he struck a chord of good fortune and popularity with the iconic song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, and had recorded 8 songs for three films, seven of them for ‘Pehli Nazar’ and ‘Moorti’. So, after a slow year in 1946, Mukesh seems to be coming into his own in 1947.

Arshon pe sitaara hai wo

Sadanand Kamath’s writeup

I had not heard the name of the film BEETE DIN (1947). What prompted me to know about this film was a song ‘arshon pe sitaara hai wo’ from this film which is sung by Mukesh and M A Rauf (Osmania), one of the two music directors in the film. The song’s composition is somewhat different than what one usually finds in most of Hindi film songs. There is no repetition of lines of mukhda in the antaras. The tune is more or less the same for both the mukhda and antaras.

The song I have chosen for discussion is a Mukesh-Shamshad duet ‘moti chugne gayi re hansi maansarovar teer’ from the film ‘CHHEEN LE AZAADI (1947) which I have been all along assuming to have already beencovered in the blog. Now I find that this duet is yet to be discussed in the blog. The reason for my erroneous assumption was that some time back our dear Sudhir had taken up the mission of posting Mukesh songs pertaining to 1940s.
