“Naatak” (1947) was produced by AR Kardar and directed by S U Sunny under the banner of Kardar Productions. The movie had Suraiyaa, Amar, Sofia, Kanwar, Sham Kumar, Pratima Devi, Nazir Bedi, Amir Ali, Suleiman, Murtaza, Nazir Ahmed, Nawab etc. in it.
The movie as well as its songs are more or less forgotten. Here is one of the more obscure songs from this movie. It is sung by Suraiyya. Khumar Barabankwi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad.
Only the audio of this song is aavailable. It is evident though that the song was picturised on Suraiyya herself.
Song-Jabse chale gaye hain wo (Naatak)(1947) Singer-Suraiyya, Lyrics-Khumar Barabankwi, MD-Naushad
Lyrics
jabse chale gaye hain wo
zindagi zindagi nahin
saaz hai aur sada nahin
shama hai raushni nahin
chhod ke mujhko chal diye
ye bhi nahin kiya khayaal
unke siwa jahaan mein
aur mera koi nahin
jabse chale gaye hain wo
zindagi zindagi nahin
saare jahaan ki raunaqein
jaise kisi ne loot lin
phool hai taazgi nahin
chaand hai chaandni nahin
jabse chale gaye hain wo
zindagi zindagi nahin
jeene ko jee rahi hoon main
unke baghair bhi magar
zingadi keh sakoon jise
aisi to zindagi nahin
jabse chale gaye hain wo
zindagi zindagi nahin
saaz hai aur sada nahin
shama hai raushni nahin

saare jahaan ki ‘ raunaqein ‘
jaise kisi ne loot lin
phool hai taazgi nahin
‘ chaand ‘ hai chaandni nahin
Missing word :
jeene ko jee rahi hoon main
unke baghair ‘ bhi ‘ magar

Atul, this is one of my great favourites of Suraiya. Thanks a lot, though the audio quality is somewhat poor. If you listen carefully, you would see Naushad has copied his own tune from Aye bhi wo gaye bhi wo ab to fasana ho gaya by Parul Ghosh from Namaste (1943)
