Tum bhi bhulaa do main bhi bhulaa doon
Posted on: September 28, 2010
When I look at the roles of lead actresses of Hindi movies, I find that the ability to cry is an essential quality that they must possess. So I cannot help but feel that most actresses who entertained hopes of a successful careers in Hindi movies needed to have lots of practice of crying. In other words, it always helped if they came from families that offered them lots of opportunities to hone this skill. So does it mean that most actresses in Bollywood had unhappy childhood ? Shudder !
It was worse in the earlier days of Hind movies. In those days, they not only had to cry, then had to sing sad songs themselves too.
We know “Jugnu” (1947) as the movie that launched the career of Dilip Kumar. But let us not forget that this movie also had Noorjahaan opposite Dilip Kumar whose career was already in launched condition and who in fact was easily the biggest female actress of Hindi movies at that time.
I had not heard/seen this song before. I stumbled on to this song just now. What a superb song it is. This song required Noorjahan to act sad and herat broken. And she looks exactly that. And she has sung this song too in a most pathos laden voice. This song has got to be one of the most wonderful “dard bharaa naghmaa”.
There were two lyricists in this movie and it is not clear which one out of them (M G Adeeb/Asghar Sarhadi) wrote this song. Music is composed by Feroz Nizami.
Here is this superb sad song from “Jugnu”(1947). Noorjahaan really shines through in this song in her singing as well as acting.
Song-Tum bhi bhulaa do main bhi bhulaa doon (Jugnu) (1949) Singer-Noorjahaan, Lyrics- M G Adeeb/Asghar Sarhadi, MD-Feroz Nizami
Lyrics
tum bhi bhulaa do
tum bhi bhulaa do main bhi bhulaa doon
tum bhi bhulaa do main bhi bhulaa doon
pyaar puraane guzre zamaane
pyaar puraane guzre zamaane
guzre zamaane
tum bhi bhulaa do
chaandni raaten
chaandni raaten aur nadi kinaaraa
pyaar ki baaten aur pyaar hamaaraa
bhool saken naa phir bhi bhulaa den
bhool saken naa phir bhi bhulaa den
beet chuke hain din jo suhaane
beet chuke hain din jo suhaane
guzre zamaane
tum bhi bhulaa do
gar apnaa tumhen ham banaa na saken
mat samjho ye preet nibhaa naa sake
gar apnaa tumhen ham banaa na saken
mat samjho ye preet nibhaa naa sake
ham duniyaa se majboor huye
ham duniyaa se majboor huye
tum aur bhi ham se door huye
tum aur bhi ham se door huye
dard naa jaanaa reet naa samjhi
dard naa jaanaa reet naa samjhi
kyun lage aur ab tadpaane
kyun lage aur ab tadpaane
guzre zamaane
tum bhi bhulaa do main bhi bhulaa doon

The year of the film needs to be corrected to 1947 in the ‘song title’ below the YT link,

There were more than two lyricists in Jugnu. Besides the two mentioned by you there were Tanweer Naqwi and Quateel Shifai. Naqwi was at the top in 1947 and his lyric ‘yahan badla vafa ka bevafai ke siva kya hai’ was one of the most popular songs of those days. Quateel might be beginning his stunning career. I would not be surprised if Jugnu turns out to be his first movie. Asghar Sarhadi was the main lyricist as he has written the most lyrics of the film, including the most famous ‘hamein to kaatni hai shame-gham mein zindgai apni’. I was overwhelmed by the prowess of his poetry, especially the nazm ‘aaj ki rat saze-dil-e-purdard na chhed’. This might be one of the very few nazms in a film, a media dominated by ghazal. I surfed the net in the hope of getting something on this poet who must rank quite high on the sheer strength of his poetry in Jugnu but was utterly disappointed. I could find nothing at all. Will some knowledgeable reader shed some light on Asghar Sarhadi and oblige?
