Thanks for posting this song, Atul! You see, I was fortunate enough (??) to have heard this song when it was broadcast as a filmi song, so I was actually surprised to find it being sung as a regular bhajan in our local temple when we moved here. I had not been attending temple bhajans during the intervening years, either because I was too busy having fun, or we lived in places where there were only South Indian bhajans.

Ravi got his first ‘ Best Music Director Award ‘ in Filmfare Award Function in 1961 for this movie ‘Gharana’.His second was in 1965 for ‘Khandan’.
Hats off to Shakeel Badayuni for his pure Hindi wordings.His other great work in this field of Bhajan/Hindi is from Baiju Bawara(1952)

I like to second the appreciation for Shakeel Badayuni expressed by sethveena. He mostly worked with naushad, and used quite a bit of Urdu shayaree (sp?) in his songs. Here, he stayed with regular and normal hindi.
I am thinking this movie ‘Gharana’ is from some South Indian production house (as Chori-Chori is from AVM). I came across the name Moppet Raja in quite a few Telugu films. I think the appearance of Devika also adds to this notion.

Since 61 when this film was released and I watched it, I am a devoted fan of this filmi bhajan and a regular listner.
Rafi Sb is superb and so is Ashaji.

Atul,
The elderly man singing the song is “Bipin gupta”(the famous character artiste and the lady`s name is “Devika”, who is a famous actress down south(mainly acted in Telugu and Tamil Films)(and also appeared in 1968 hindi film Izzat alongwith Dharmendra and jayalalita).
Further the name of child artistes are Moppet raja and master sandeep. I always get confused regarding the name Moppet raja,like you I always think it is Baby daisy irani or honey irani, but the credit of the film shows as Moppet raja. This time also I am confused. May be baby daisy irani got another name as “Moppet raja”?
regards
prakash
