Koi ummeed bar nahin aati
Posted on: August 23, 2012
I am aware of a 1971 movie called “Apna Desh”. It turns out that there was another movie of the same name. “Apna Desh” (1949) was a Rajkamal Kala Mandir production. It was produced and directed by V Shantaram. The movie had Pushpa Hans, Umesh Sharma, Manmohan Krishna, Chnadrashekhar, Sudha Apte, Keshavrao Date, Krishna Goyal, Satish Vyas etc in it.
Here is a ghazal from this movie. It is sung by Pushpa Hans. Seeing that Pushpa Hans also acted in this movie, it follows that the song was picturised on her as well.
This ghazal was written by Ghalib who lived in the previous century and who would have have imagined that some day his writings will be used in movie songs. This song is in fact the 20th Ghalib creation in Hindi movies that is appearing in the blog. It will be really interesting if Ghalib (and also Meera Bai) someday reach their centuries in this blog. This could well be possible.
Music is composed by Purushottam.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Mr Sadanand Kamath.

koi ummeed bar nahin aati
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
koi soorat nazar nahin aati
koi soorat nazar nahin aati
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
maut ka ek din
maut ka ek din muayyan hai
neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati
neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati
haay
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
aagey aati thhi haal-e-dil pe hansi
aagey aati thhi haal-e-dil pe hansi
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
koi umeed bar nahin aati
hum wahaan hain
hum wahaan hain jaahan se hum ko bhi
ee ee ee
hum wahaan hain jahaan se hum ko bhi
kuchh hamaari khabar nahin aati
kuchh hamaari khabar nahin aati
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
marte hain aarzoo mein marne ki
marte hain aarzoo mein marne ki
maut aati hai
maut aati hai par nahin aati
haay
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
koi ummeed bar nahin aati
aaa aaa aaa
