Chaah karni thi chaah kar baithe

It is amazing to find just how many hidden gems are lying undiscovered out there. Not just well known music directors, even lesser known music directors have left a wealth of music that deserve to be much better known. The sheer class of their compositions demand that.
Here is a superb song from “Punarmilan”. It is a ghazal sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mubarak Begum. Raja Mehdi Ali wrote this ghazal and it was composed by C Arjan.
As I mentioned earlier, what a nice ghazal it is. It is picturised on Shashikala and Ameeta.

Lyrics
chaah karni thi chaah kar baithe
zindagi ham tabaah kar baithe
ishq kyun khaam khaah kar baithe
zindagi ham tabaah kar baithe
ishq kyun khaam khaah kar baithe
na asar aansuon na aahon me
na asar aansuon na aahon me
lut gaye ham wafa ki raahon me
lut gaye ham wafa ki raahon me
ek patthar se chaah kar baithe
zindagi ham tabaah kar baithe
chaah karni thi chaah kar baithe
ho gaye ham gali gali ruswaa
ho gaye ham gali gali ruswaa
ishq gar hai gunaah ai duniya
ishq gar hai gunaah ai duniya
ab to ham ye gunaah kar baithe
zindagi ham tabaah kar baithe
ishq kyun khaam khaah kar baithe

This is not a gazal. Its simply a Geet. Gazal always has sher’s comprising 2 misra’s. This one obviously doesn’t fulfill that conddition.

Today is 87th birth anniversary of music director, C Arjun.
Two additional stanzas of the song:
ab na duniya main kuchh raha apna
ab na duniya main kuchh raha apna
maut kar degi faisla apna
maut kar degi faisla apna
zindagi se nibaah kar baithe
zindagi hum tabaah kar baithe
chaah karni thhi chaah kar baithe
hum na kaabil thhe unki hasti ke
hum na kaabil thhe unki hasti ke
hum thhe waasi garib basti ke
hum thhe waasi garib basti ke
chaand par kyun nigaah kar baithe
zindagi hum tabaah kar baithe
ishq kyun khaam khaah kar baithe
Audio clip of the song has only additional stanza whereas the Video clip of the song has two additional stanzas:

जब भी फिल्मी गजलों की बात होती है तो मदन मोहन, बुलो सी रानी, नौशाद, खय्याम, रोशन, एन दत्ता जैसे महारथियों के ही चर्चे होते हैं, ( जिन्होने अधिकतर गजलों की पारंपरिक शैली का ही सहारा लिया ) और हमेशा उस शख्सियत को भूल जाते हैं जिसने फिल्मी गजलों में आधुनिक संयंत्रों के साथ मेलोडी का जो संतुलन पेश किया और गजलों की एक अलग खूबसूरत और काबिले तारीफ अदायगी विकसित की और वो हैं ”सी अर्जुन” ।
इस गजल में मुबारक और आशा से बेहद लयपूर्ण अंदाज मे और आधुनिक साजों के साथ गवा कर ‘सी अर्जुन’ इसी तथ्य की बखूबी पुष्टि करते हुए सुनाई देते हैं ।
