Atul Song-A-Day 10K Song Milestone Celebrations –41 (Post number 9995)
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Now we know that a chocolate cake happened. In Cochin. Peevesie’s Mom baked the cake to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the setting up of this blog by Atul ji. And she and her husband shared it amongst themselves. Ah well, I am sure it must have tasted good. It is high time now that digital technology should step up and allow for sending chocolate cakes over email. 🙂 And of course, Atul ji is so busy wrapping up the 10K celebration posts and also doing a lot of travel simultaneously, that I am sure he has not yet seen my message of ‘where is the party?’.

However, full marks to him, and full support. The burden he carries and the effort and time he applies across all tasks for this blog, while managing a working life – kudos to him, and more strength and resolve to him.

As we are arriving at the target, I am trying to supplement some required posts with special numbers. I have been thinking about this for a couple of days. When this blog started, as has been described by Raja ji, it was driven by farmaishes that came from him and many other readers. Over the years, the farmaishes page is probably the heaviest page on the blog – it takes a long time to load; hmmm. . . maybe barring the list of songs by movie. And then this thought struck me. Here were at nine thousand nine hundred ninety something today, and for the past six years it has been Atul ji catering to the farmaishes of the large number of readers and followers. And I wondered. What would be Atul ji’s farmaish, if we asked him. And so I decided to do this special post, to be based on a farmaish from him.

He has again been back and forth in travel over the past two days. I sent him an email with my farmaish for his farmaish. He eventually responded after a couple of reminders (I am sure being back and forth in train most of the time, he was not able to timely access his emails). And so comes this song and this write up, specially on the farmaish of Atul ji. 🙂

Today, my mind goes back to March of 2012, when Atul ji wrote to me about his official visit to Delhi, and we had planned to meet. Maybe we both have written about our meeting in earlier posts. He had meetings till about 3.30 pm and I was then supposed to pick him up from the railway guest house he was staying at around 4 pm. I reached there. He said he would be waiting near the main gate of that place. I did not see anyone. So I called him. Actually he was there, but he was also sitting in a car, that had been made available to him for his visit. Soon as I called him and identified my car, he says he is sitting in the car just behind where I had parked. I immediately got down from the car and turned around. I saw a somewhat short person, lean and sprightly, wearing glasses and sporting a moustache, get out of the car behind me. I walked towards him, and really no introductions seemed necessary. Without even asking the question “Is that Atul ji?”, I simply walked over to him and hugged him. I am sure he must have been taken by surprise, because for a moment I could feel he did not know how to respond. 🙂 🙂

Anyway, our first exchange was simply my saying “Lets go in my car”. He leaned over the window of his car and instructed the drive to be off for the day, and then come the next day at the prescribed time. After that we drove home. In the few weeks prior to when Atul ji came to Delhi, I had had the good fortune of hosting Nalin ji Shah, and Harmandir at my home, and through them there had been many new introductions that happened for me. So as they say, my home and my mind was still abuzz with the prior visitors. And then sone-pe-suhaaga, Atul ji also came to visit in the same span of time. It was really great.

Atul ji is a sharp person. I am sure the readers are well aware of that. And I assure you, the ‘Atulisms’ in conversation are equally regaling. Otherwise a quiet person most of the time, he will be energized when we talk about the blog and Hindi film songs. For other discussions, he chooses not to take the lead unless requested, and will quietly sneak in one of his ‘Atulistic’ observations into the conversation in progress. Of course with the desired results 🙂 🙂

There is a lot more that would like to write. A lot of that has been put down in these columns before, and by so many contributors. People those who have met him and even people those who have not. Being in Delhi, I have the good fortune that Atul ji has a regular if not very frequent visit that he needs to make to the headquarters here. And that is always a wonderful opportunity to get together with him, which is always a pleasure.

And so, for a change, here is a song that is on farmaish from Atul ji. This song is from the 1945 film ‘Raagini’. The music is by Pt Amarnath. The songs of this film are penned by three poets – Mela Ram Wafaa, Naazim Panipati, and Zaheer Kashmiri. The specific lyricist for this song is however not identified. The film is production from the banner of Maheshwari Pictures, Punjab. So apparently this would have been produced in Lahore at that time. The cast of actors reads as follows – Smriti, Aruna, Najm, Pran, Gyani, Romesh, Bhaag Singh, Baij Sharma, Nazar, Mumtaz, Shahnaz, Roofi. Only the name of Pran is familiar from this list; I believe the others would be local to the Lahore film industry at that time.

This is a wonderful song, wonderfully composed by Pt Amarnath. The pace is rapid and the rendition has been handled very well by Zohrabai. On special request by our dear Atul ji. A very special song.

Listen and enjoy.


Song-Uthh soye huye husn tujhe ishq jagaaye (Raagini)(1945) Singer-Zeenat Begam, MD-Pt Amarnath

Lyrics

uthh soye huye husn ae
ishq jagaaye
ishq jaga. .aye
dil kehta hai koi mujhe ae
deewaana banaaye
deewaana banaaye

main
hoon
aur tu hai
ik aalam e hu hai
main hoon
aur
haar tu hai
ik aalam e hu hai
phir waqt ye taqdeer dikhaaye
naa dikhaaye
uthh soye huye husn tujhe ae
ishq jagaaye
ishq jaga. .aye
dil kehta hai koi mujhe
deewaana banaaye
deewaana banaaye

maasoom jawaani hai
aur neend ke saaye
aur neend ke saaye
maasoom jawaani hai
aur neend ke saaye
aur neend ke saaye
hadd tak koi
pehlu mein qayaamat ko chhupaaye
uthh soye huye husn tujhe ae
ishq jagaaye
ishq jaga. .aye
dil kehta hai koi mujhe
deewaana banaaye
deewaana banaaye

uthh jaag idhar aa
de dard zaraa saa aa
uthh jaag idhar aa
de dard zaraa saa
wo dard jo
din raat teri yaad dilaaye
uthh soye huye husn tujhe ae
ishq jagaaye
ishq jagaaye
dil kehta hai koi mujhe
deewaana banaaye
deewaana banaaye

उठ सोये हुये हुस्न तुझे
इश्क़ जगाए
इश्क़ जगा॰ ॰ए
दिल कहता है कोई मुझे
दीवाना बनाए
दीवाना बनाए

मैं
हूँ
और तू है
इक आलम ए हू है
मैं
हूँ
और तू है
इक आलम ए हू है
फिर वक़्त ये तक़दीर दिखाये
ना दिखाये
उठ सोये हुये हुस्न तुझे
इश्क़ जगाए
इश्क़ जगा॰ ॰ए
दिल कहता है कोई मुझे
दीवाना बनाए
दीवाना बनाए

मासूम जवानी है
और नींद के साये
और नींद के साये
मासूम जवानी है
और नींद के साये
और नींद के साये
हद तक गयी
पहलू में कयामत को छुपाए
उठ सोये हुये हुस्न तुझे
इश्क़ जगाए
इश्क़ जगा॰ ॰ए
दिल कहता है कोई मुझे
दीवाना बनाए
दीवाना बनाए

उठ जाग इधर आ
दे दर्द ज़रा सा
उठ जाग इधर आ
दे दर्द ज़रा सा
वो दर्द
जो दिन रात तेरी याद दिलाये
उठ सोये हुये हुस्न तुझे
इश्क़ जगाए
इश्क़ जगा॰ ॰ए
दिल कहता है कोई मुझे
दीवाना बनाए
दीवाना बनाए

What an amazing thought, that Atul had to request a song 🙂

Great Post as ever, Sudhirji.

What a wonderful post again, Sudhirji. The way you describe events is just outstanding. You should be a script-writer. 🙂

Reading about your first meeting with Atul has brought back memories of my only meeting with him. Maybe I should write about that sometime. 🙂

I think it was a great idea to ask Atul for his own farmaish. The poor guy has always been trying to cater to others’ farmaishes though the original intent of the blog was to discuss his own favourite songs. I wonder who hijacked that idea? 🙂

And what a lovely song. I love listening to songs of the 1940s – mainly because the voices of the singers (especially female, but also male) were so strong. And I’ve always liked Zohrabai Ambalewaali ever since I first heard “akhiyaan milaake” (Rattan) as a teenager.

Sudhir ji,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience of your first meeting with Atulji, and your observations about him. Thanks for posting Atul ji’s farmaish.
Enjoyed the full throated rendition of this wonderful vintage composition by Zohrabai Ambalewali.

Atull ji, and all readers,

Sincere apologies that an error has gone into this upload. Shri Girdharilal Vishkarma ji has sent me a message telling me that this song is sung by Zeenat Begum and not by Zohrabai. I had originally based my information on a list provided by himself only. After seeing this post, he has sent me a correction, based on information he has taken from the physical 78rpm record itself.

Atul ji,
I have sent you a new link in email, for the same song with corrected information and images.

Apologies one again.

Rgds
Sudhir
