A few days back, I came across a song ‘taqdeer ne hansa ke hamen phir rulaa diyaa’ from the film ‘SHAHNAAZ (1948). The song was composed and sung by Ameerbai Karnataki. Until now, I had not heard the name of the film. In fact, except for Ameerbai Karnataki and Mohammed Rafi, most of other names associated with this film are new to me.
As per http://www.myswar.com, there were in all 12 songs shared between Amirbai Karnataki and Mohammed Rafi. There were five lyricists for the film – Dukhi Premnagri, Akhtar Pilibhiti, Fiza Kausari Bangalori, Ameer Usmani Deobandi and Arsi Ajmeri and except for Arsi Ajmeri, I was not aware of other lyricists. I have listened to four songs of the film which have already been covered in the blog and another two songs on the internet and I can say that lyrics are beautiful. Probably, this was the only film for which Ammerbai Karnataki composed music.
The film must have failed miserably on the box office and went into oblivion. With it, all the dozen songs of the film lost in the whirlpool of time until internet made it possible to rediscover them. The song under discussion is a poignant one sung in Ameerbai Karnataki’s typical full-throated voice emoting the sombre mood in the lyrics of Dukhi Premnagri.
The prelude music of this song reminds me of the music preceding ‘hamaare dil se na jaana’ from ‘Udan Khatola’ (1955)

Lyrics
taqdeer ne hansa ke hamen phir rulaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
khushiyan hamaari chheen li
dil ko jalaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
hamko gale ka haar diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
bedard dil pe waar kiyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
tumne mohabbaton ka ye achchaa silaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
taqdeer ne hansa ke hamen phir rulaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
dil ka mere sahaara
ab dard hai tumhaara
dil ka mere sahaara
ab dard hai tumhaara
is ko na chheen lenaa
karnaa karam khudaara
karnaa karam khudaara
gham ne musarraton ka janaaza uthhaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
taqdeer ne hansa ke hamen phir rulaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
toofaan hans rahaa hai kashti ki bekasi par
toofaan hans rahaa hai kashti ki bekasi par
saahil laraj uthha hai
kismat ki is hansi par
barbaadiyon ne naqsh-e-mohobbat mitaa diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa
taqdeer ne hansa ke hamen phir rula diyaa
haay kyaa kiyaa aa
haay kyaa kiyaa
