Na ummeed hoke bhi duniya mein jiye jaate hain
Posted on: September 7, 2012
Today (7 september) is the death anniversary of P L Santoshi (7 august 1916- 7 september 1978). His actual name was Pyarelal Srivastava and he was born in Jabalpur, the same place that Premnath came from.
In Hindi movies, he made his mark as a director and lyricist. Some of his notable movies as director are Hum Ek Hain (1946), Khidki (1948), Shin Shinaaki Boobla Boo (1952), Chham Chhamaa Chham (1952), Chaalis Bab Ek Chor (1953), Sabse Bada Rupaiyya (1955), Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke (1957), Barsaat Ki Raat (1960), Opera House (1961), Dil Hi To Hai (1963), Qawwali Ki Raat (1964) etc.
P L Santoshi was one of the leading lyricists of 1940s and 1950s. He has penned some well known songs viz. Aa teri tasweer banaa loon (Naadaan) , Wo hamse chup hain ham unse chup hain (Sargam) , Ham panchhi ek daal ke (Ham Panchhi ek daal ke ) , Tum kyaa jaano tumhaari yaad me ham kitna roye (Shin Shinaki Bubbla Boo) , Aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday (Shehnaayi)(1947), Maar kataari mar jaana (Shehnaayi) etc.
This song is P L Santoshi’s 60th song as a lyricist in this blog. He is one lyricist who richly deserves to reach his century of songs in the blog and he will definitely do so in due course.
This song is from “Sangeeta” (1950). This movie was a Sudha Pictures Production. It was directed by Ramanlal Desai. The movie had Shyam, Suraiya, Nigar Sultana, Pran, Mumtaz Ali, Radhakrishna etc in it.
This song is sung by Lata. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only the audio of this song is available. One can guess that this song was picturised on Nigar Sultana.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Mr Sadanand Kamath.
Song-Na ummeed ho ke bhi duniya mein jiye jaate hain (Sangeeta)(1950) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-P L Santoshi, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
naa umeed ho ke bhi
duniyaa mein jiye jaate hain
dil toot gayaa phir bhi
ham pyaar kiye jaate hain
naa umeed ho ke bhi
jin aankhon mein rehti thhi
ek pyaar bhari masti
un aankhon mein aansoo hain
barbaad huyi basti
jin aankhon mein rehti thhi
ek pyaar bhari masti
un aankhon mein aansoo hain
barbaad huyi basti
aansoo bhi ham apne
ro ro ke piye jaate hain
aansoo bhi ham apne
ro ro ke piye jaate hain
dil toot gayaa phir bhi
ham pyaar kiye jaate hain
naa umeed ho ke bhi
bedard zamaane ne
rehne na diyaa mil ke
sab toot gaye sapne
armaan bhare dil ke
bedard zamaane ne
rehne na diyaa mil ke
sab toot gaye sapne
armaan bhare dil ke
roothi huyi kismat se
fariyaad kiye jaate hain
roothi huyi kismat se
fariyaad kiye jaate hain
dil toot gayaa phir bhi
ham pyaar kiye jaate hain
naa umeed ho ke bhi
duniyaa mein jiye jaate hain
dil toot gayaa phir bhi
ham pyaar kiye jaate hain
naa umeed ho ke bhi

This is a beautiful song.C.Ramachandra is a true genuis and some of his songs,especially the soulful ones that Lata sang, brings tears to my eyes.It is a pity that many today remember him mainly for Albela and Anarkali but to my mind he is as great a composer as we have ever had.
