Allah tero naam Ishwar tero naam
Posted on: September 16, 2009
There are many people who may think that this is a non filmy prayer. That is how well known this song is.
In reality, this is a song from a movie called “Hum Dono” (1961). This song is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Nanda and others who are praying in a temple for their near and dear ones who have gone to the battle field.
This poignant song is written by Sahir Ludhianvi and its music is composed by Jaidev.
This song is easily a timeless classic.

Sahir Ludhianvi wrote some amazing lyrics in this movie, which were composed wonderfully well by Jaidev. And the singer (Lata, Rafi, Asha Bhonsle) did a grand job. This movie has some of the most memorable songs that one can imagine.
And ironically, Jaidev as a music director continued to be a struggler despite creating such music.

This movie contained songs that must be regarded as some of the finest feathers in the caps of their creaters.

I’ve heard another stanza once in a farmaish on Vividhbharathi:
Is Dharthi ka roop na ujhde,
Pyaar ki Thandi dhoop na ujhde,
Sabko mile dhata sabko mile,
Iska Vardaan, sabko sanmathi de Vhagwaan.
Awesome lyrics – awesome Sahir.
Lots and lots and thanks for the lovely job you are doing Atul.

The audio versions are often different and longer than the video versions of the same song. Since you listened to the audio version in Vividh Bharati so you listened to the full song. The picturisation of the song of course does not include this para.

Sahir Ludhianvi was a great Urdu poet but surprisingly he has penned a lot of pure Hindi songs and bhajans as well in films which were very popular in its time and will continue to be so till infinity to the filmy bhajan lovers. Few of his bhajans come to mind are :- Tora man darpan kahlaye, Man re tu Kahe na dheer dhare, Tora manwa kyon ghavraye re, Ganga Tera pani amrit, Prabhu tero man, Aanmilo aanmilo shyam savre, Sukh ke sab sathi and many more.

Lyrics are so good Sahirji needs admiration . Great poets like Sahirji is secular in a real sense .
Lyrics written by him has a flavour of Gandhiji’s favourite bhajan , ‘ Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram ”, especially the line ” Sab Ko Sanmati De Bhagwaan “

This is the song that taught me what a bhajan is 🙂 For that, I am ever grateful, plus it’s still possibly the most beautiful ones ever written (and I only say possibly because of “O Paalanhaare” from Lagaan)…
