There are hundreds of gems of hindi film songs which I have not heard yet. I am talking about only the songs of Mohammad Rafi sahab here. It is obvious nobody can claim to have heard all the songs which include scores of wonderful songs of the golden era.
When I heard this song for the first time recently, it was a divine experience for me. I will never forget the feeling I got while it started in the ear-phones, after the first two lines , that alaap, followed by the notes of sitaar. Immediately, I thought this is a Madan Mohan composition. This occurred to me before the sitaar music started. Half way through the song I had read the description in the link and the informative comments. As it turns, this is one of those many Madan Mohan songs from unreleased films. It is a solo song written by Rajendra Krishan. The combination of Madan Mohan and Rajendra Krishan instantly reminds of songs of “Jahaan Ara”. Having heard a few of those songs today, one is left wondering, where have all these creative people have gone and the legacy that is left behind for us lesser mortals. To appreciate such a wealth, we need a few more lives. One lifetime is not enough, whatever is left of it, mujhe to aisa hi lagta hai.
That is the reason I have decided to go on with routine posts whenever I find an inspiring song alongside my ongoing series of “Chandni Raaten”.
The song was recorded for a film called “Salma”, and by the recording it must have been in the 70’s. The film either remained unreleased or unmade even, because there is no reference for this film on ‘myswar.com’. The name is fairly common considering it is a proper noun, as there are two films by this name, one in 1943 and another is 1985.
This song is a bit like non-film songs and must have been a part of ‘Tere bagair’ which had all unreleased song by Madan Mohan. I sincerely hope all are able to appreciate the graciousness of this rendition. Subscribing to a philosophy or otherwise is one’s own business, but the manner in which the ‘paigham is delivered is praiseworthy.

Song-Mera paigham muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin(Salma)(UR)(1970) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Madan Mohan
Lyrics
Aaj kuchh kehna hai
mujh ko jo ijaazat hogi
baat chhoti si hai
sun lo to inaayat hogi
aa aaa aa aa
aa aaaa
aaaa aaa aaa
aaaa aaaa aa
aaa aaaa aaa aaa
mera paighaam
mera paighaam
paighaaaam
paighaam a a
mera paigham muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
mera paigham muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
zindagi pyaar ki raahat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
mera paigham muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
ek beemaar-e-muhabbat se yeh poochha maine
ek beemaar-e-muhabbat se yeh poochha maine
ishq mein tu ne ye kya haal banaa rakkhaa hai
wo dar-e-yaar ki chilman ko dikhaa kar bola
mere mehboob ko
mere mehboob ko
pardon mein chhupaa rakkhaa hai
kya zamaane mein ae ae
kya zamaane mein a’daawat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin ee
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
be-wajah duniya ne neendon mein khalal daal diye
be-wajah duniya ne neendon mein khalal daal diye
chaahne waalon ne jab khwaab sunehre dekhe
dekhne waalon ne inn pyaar ki raahon mein sadaa
ya to deewaaren ae
ya to deewaren hi dekhi hain ya pehre dekhe
ye muhabbat ae ji ae ji haan
ye muhobbat to i’baadat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin ee
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
yeh bhi dastoor muhabbat ka niraala dekhaa
yeh bhi dastoor muhabbat ka niraala dekhaa
ek pardon mein jale doosra baazaaron mein
iss tarah tanha tadapne se to achcha hogaa
zinda chunwa de koyee ee ee
zinda chunwa de koyee donon ko deewaaron mein
ishq mein maut bhi ae ji haan
ishq mein maut bhi raahat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin ee
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
zindagi pyaar ki raahat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
haay
mera paighaam muhabbat ke siwaa kuchh bhi nahin
