‘PANCHAM-RAFI’ Jodi’s Variety Songs – 2

The second song to appear in this series is this wonderful lively ‘middle eastern’ type song (as mentioned in the article which is the basis of this series).
The composition of this song spells magic as we listen to it again and again.
Now, coming to the ‘genre’ of this song, I browse the categories available on the blog to find if any songs of similar types have been categorized separately. But I could not find songs which have categorized as ‘middle eastern type’ or ‘Arabic’ type songs. Though, surely, our Hindi films are having many such songs. In the category ‘desert’ songs also I do not find this type of song. (I would request Atul ji and our members to correct me and or add/list such type of songs).
However listening to this song, reminds me of another composition of Pancham Da, and sung by Asha Bhonsle and on screen performed by Zeenat Aman. This is ‘Khatooba Khatooba’ from the 1980 Film – ‘Alibaba aur Chaalis Chor’. In both the cases the composer-lyricists are the same – R.D.Burman- Anand Bakshi.
Today’s song is duet sung by Rafi Sb and Asha Bhonsle ji, which is lip synced on screen by Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman. Prem Chopra and others are also seen in the picturization of this song.
This is from the 1979 film ‘The Great Gambler’. I remember I liked this movie very much then and I watched it two times on consecutive days. Though I do not remember how ‘hit’ or ‘flop’ it was on the box office. Songs of this movie are special for us ‘the fans of 70’s’ and create nostalgia, though this film came at the end of the decade i.e. in 1979.
Like me our dear Atul ji also has some special feelings about the songs from this film. He has already posted three songs from this film out of a total of five songs. The first song to appear was naturally the most popular – ‘Do Lafzon Ki Hai Dil Ki Kahaani’ (posted in March 2009), while the song ‘Pehle Pehle Pyaar Ki Mulaaqaatein’ followed it in May 2009. The third one ‘Tum Kitne Din Baad Miley’ appeared after a gap of almost four years in 2013. All the three songs posted so far have been presented with lovely ‘nostalgic’ write ups of Atul ji.
Let us now enjoy the today’s song.

ae sahib sabko salaam
aap ki khidmat ke liye main
haazir hoon aaj ki sham
raqqaasa mera naam
ae sahib sabko salaam
