“Shalimar” (1946) was directed by Roop K Shorey. The by now obscure movie had Chandramohan, Begam Para, Manorama, Nisar, Pramila, Manju etc in it.
One song from this movie has been discussed in the past.
Here is the second song from the movie. It is sung by Zeenat Begam. Aziz Kashmiri is the lyricist.
This movie had three music directors in it, viz. Pt Amarnath, Anupam Ghatak and Pt Lachchiram. The distribution of songs among the three is not known. Most YT uploders tend to mention the name of Pt Aamrnath for all the songs of the movie. I request our knowledgeable raeders to throw light on the music director of this song.
The lyrics of the song are superb. It is surprising that this wonderful penmanship on the part of Aziz Kashmiri has been forgotten with the passage of time.
Only the audio of this song is available. It appears that Zeenat Begam was the main female singer of this song and it means that she sang for the laeding lady of the movie which appears to be Begam para. I request our knowledgeable readers to confirm/ refute my guess on this matter.
Song-Unka khayaal chhod de (Shalimar)(1946) Singer-Zeenat Begam, Lyrics-Aziz Kashmiri
Lyrics
unka khayaal chhod de
apni khata ko bhool ke
unka khayaal chhod de
apni khata ko bhool ke
ae dil e beqaraar sun
rasm e wafa ko bhool ja
ae dil e beqaraar sun
rasm e wafa ko bhool ja
tera chaman ujad gaya
tera chaman ujad gaya
teri khizaan bahaar kya
teri khizaan bahaar kya
haal mein apne mast rah
abr o hawa (?) ko bhool ja
haal mein apne mast rah
abr o hawa (?) ko bhool ja
ham bhi hai kyun khuda uthhe
ham bhi hai kyun khuda uthhe
tera khuda koi nahin
tera khuda koi nahin
jisne tujhe bhula diya
aise khuda ko bhool ja
jisne tujhe bhula diya
aise khuda ko bhool ja
unka khayaal chhod de
apni khata ko bhool ke
ae dil e beqaraar sun
rasm e wafa ko bhool ja
