Badal jaaye duniya na badlenge ham
Posted on: November 16, 2011
It was on 16th november 1917 that Chitragupta Srivastava was born in Bihar. He went to Bombay and earned fame as music director Chitragupta. He preferred to keep a low profile and was happy to compose for B grade movies, where he composed absolutely A grade music. A grade movie makers would have happily worked with Chitragupta if only Chitragupta had gone and met them. For instance, the first time that Chitragupta met with Raj Kapoor was in 1980s, when his music director sons Anand and Milind introduced him to raj Kapoor at a function. And Raj Kapoor told him that he would have definitely used him as a music director in his movies if only he had met him.
We in this blog have discovered and discussed lots and lots of gems created by Chitragupta and we continue to discover such songs on a regular basis.
On the occasion of his birthday today, here is a song from a forgotten movie called “Captain Kishore ” (1957). The song is sung by Talat Mehmood. Lyrics are written by Tanveer Naqvi.
This movie was a Wadia Movietone presentation and it was directed by J B H Wadia. The cast included names like Roopmala, Shashikala, Suresh, Anwar ,Mirza Musharaf, Sheikh, Tuntun, Vijaya Choudhry. From the cast, one can guess that this song was picturised on Suresh.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Mr Sadanand Kamath. Translation of the song has been provided by Sudhir jee.

Lyrics(Provided by Sadanand Kamath)
badal jaaye duniyaa na badlenge ham
tumhaari qasam
badal jaaye duniyaa na badlenge ham
tumhaari qasam
tumhaare hain jab tak ke dam mein hain dam
tumhaari qasam
kaho naam ulfat kaa badnaam kyun hai
hamaari wafaaon pe ilzaam kyun hai
kaho naam ulfat kaa badnaam kyun hai
hamaari wafaaon pe ilzaam kyun hai
bataao to hogaa tumhaaraa karam
tumhaari qasam
badal jaaye duniyaan na badalenge ham
tumhaari qasam
ye maanaa hai mushqil muhabbat ki raahen
agar daal din tumne baahaon mein baahein
ye maanaa hai mushqil mohabbat ki raahein
agar daal din tumne baahaon mein baahein
khushi se sahenge tumhaare sitam
tumhaari qasam
badal jaaye duniyaan na badlenge ham
tumhaari qasam
jahaan tak jahaan ke nazaare rahenge
tumhaare rahe hain tumhaare rahenge
jahaan tak jahaan ke nazaare rahenge
tumhaare rahe hain tumhaare rahenge
na dolenge ulfat mein apne qadam
tumhaari qasam
badal jaaye duniyaa na badlenge ham
tumahaari qasam

badal jaaye duniyaa na badlenge hum, tumhaari qasam
tumhaare hain jab tak ke dam mein hain dam, tumhaari qasam
Let the world change, as it does
I will not change, I vow upon you
I will remain true to you
Till there is life breath in my being, I vow upon you
kaho naam ulfat kaa badnaam kyun hai
hamaari wafaaon pe ilzaam kyun hai
bataao to hogaa tumhaaraa karam, tumhaari qasam
Pray tell me why are love and affection infamous as so
Pray why our promises of love stand accused
Share with me, it will be your benevolence
I vow upon you
ye maanaa hai mushqil mohabbat ki raahein
agar daal din tumne baahaon mein baahein
khushi se sahenge tumhaare sitam, tumhaari qasam
Yes, the path of love is strewn with troubles
But if you are with me, arm in arm
I will happily face all harshness in life
I vow upon you
jahaan tak jahaan ke nazaare rahenge
tumhaare rahe hain tumhaare rahenge
na dolenge ulfat mein apne qadam, tumhaari qasam
As far as eyes can see the extended landscape of this world
I have been true to you, and will remain so forever
My feet will never waver from the path of your love
I vow upon you

since my childhood I’ve heard this song. I still can hear my brothers singing, every time they were in love with some girl in the neighbourhood.
