Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer

If one makes a list of actors for whom Rafi has sung, the list of names will run into hundreds of names. In addition to singing for well known legendary actors, Rafi has sung for lesser actors too.
Often, Rafi would sing songs for more than one actor in the same movie, viz for the hero (typically Dev Anand/ Dilip Kumar/ Guru Dutt) as well as for the comedian (typically Johny Walker). Then there were B and C grade movies where Rafi would sing for lesser known actors. Rafi did not refuse to sing for any music director, even if they did not have the money to pay him. Of course, the music directors of these so called B and C grade movies were themselves no mean music directors.
Kalyanji began his career as a music director with such lesser movies. In his earlier movies he gave music alone,before he was joined by his younger brother Anandji to form the by now legendary duo of Kalyanji Anandji.
“Ghar Ghar Ki Baat” (1959) is one of the earlier movies for Kalyanji and here he was the solo music director.
Here is a light hearted song from this movie. This song is picturised on a man whom I do not recognise (is he Jamal ?) and Minu Mumtaz. The lyrics of the song (written by Gulshan Baawraa) are highly amusing. The picturisation itself is fun to watch. Throughout the song,the guy manages to dogde Minu Mumtaz, but in the end Minu Mumtaz manages to get even with him by making him trip on the floor, much to her glee.
Here is this light hearted song from “Ghar Ghar Ki Baat” (1959) which is a song that I discovered only recently.
Song-Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer (Ghar Ghar Ki Baat) (1959) Singer-Rafi,Lyrics-Gulshan Baawra, MD-Kalyanji
Lyrics
haay
Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
haay re haay
bad mera luck
badaa hai sad mera luck
haay re haay
bad mera luck
badaa hai sad mera luck
Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer
arre bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
Damdimal ki ladki ho
ya Daulatram ki saali
Damdimal ki ladki ho
ya Daulatram ki saali
apne ghar mein bhej de maalik koi choodiyon waali
apne ghar mein bhej de maalik koi choodiyon waali
hoy
gore gore haathon se jo mujhe khilaaye kheer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
Uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
arre dayaa kare koi ladki waalaa
rahoon na kahin kanwaaraa
ik pahiye ki gaadi par
phiroon kab tak maaraa maaraa
ik pahiye ki gaadi par
phiroon kab tak maaraa maaraa
jhoothaa prem hai khaali koi
ban jaaye tasweer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
haay re haay
bad mera luck
badaa hai sad mera luck
uparwaale ne jaldi mein likhi meri taqdeer
bhool gayaa mere haath mein dena joroo ki lakeer
