Main kismat ka maaraa Bhagwan
Posted on: June 7, 2011
While looking for K L Saigal songs, I came across this quintessentially K L Saigal song from “Tadbeer” (1945). It is a movie that I know little about, though.
Here is this song, sung by K L Saigal with his characteristic style. Swami Ramanand is the lyricist. Music is composed by Lal Mohammad. This is the first song of the lyricist and the music director in this blog. That is how rare this song is, as far as I am concerned.
Song-Main kismat ka maaraa Bhagwan (Tadbeer) (1945) Singer-K L Saigal, Lyrics-Swami Ramanand, MD-Lal Mohammad
Lyrics
main kismat kaa maaraa Bhagwan,
main kismat kaa maaraa
jag mein bhatak-bhatak ke haaraa
jag mein bhatak-bhatak ke haaraa
Bhagwan
main kismat kaa maaraa Bhagwan,
main kismat kaa maaraa
kismat ke jab phool tu baante
kismat ke jab phool tu baante
jholi mein meri bhar diye kaante
jholi mein meri bhar diye kaante
in kaanton ko chunte chunte
in kaanton ko chunte chunte
guzraa jeewan saaraa,
Bhagwan
main kismat kaa maaraa
jag mein bhatak-bhatak ke haaraa, Bhagwan
main kismat kaa maaraa
beeti umariyaa jalte jalte
beeti umariyaa jalte jalte
jalte angaaron pe chal ke
jalte angaaron pe chal ke
maut ki manzil mil jaaye to
maut ki manzil mil jaaye to
ho jaaye chhutkaaraa
ho jaaye chhutkaaraa Bhagwan
main kismat kaa maaraa Bhagwan
main kismat kaa maaraa

Atul ji,
Tadbir(which means advise or counsel),was directed by Jayant Desai and had Saigal, Suraiya,Mubarak,Jilloo,Rehana Sultan,Shalini etc. in the cast.
The story of the film was unusual.When young,a prediction about Kanhaiyalal(saigal) says that he will go to a prostitute,weild a knife and get sentenced to gallows.
Due to family troubles,saigal and his mother stay with a kind and beautiful prosttute Saguna(Suraiya).Saigal becomes a Surgeon and his step brother Jwalaprasad(Mubarak) traps him in a murder to get saigal a punishment of death.However the good prostitute sacrifices her life and saves saigal at the end.
Music Director Lal Mohammed (from Hyderabad Dn.),gave music to Tadbir,Sohni Mahiwal,Rehana,Omer Khayyam,Mitti etc from 1945 to 1947,when he migrated to Pakistan and continued as a small time Mus.Dir.
His luck opened up when Ahmed Rashdi(also from Hyderabad Deccan),the famous singer of Pakistan started recommending him to producers from 1954 and Lal Mohd. soon became a big time Music Director in Pakistan.
