Today (1 october 2015) is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri(1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000). He is easily the most prolific lyricist during the golden era of HFM before Anand Bakshi. Maintaining quality and quantity as well as great rapport with all music directors was the secret of his long and successful career.
Here is a song from “Pehli Raat”(1959) on this occasion. This movie was produced by A A Nadiadwala and directed by P L Santoshi. The movie had Sohrab Modi, Nimmi,Rehman, Nanda, Sudesh Kumar,Sheela Kashimiri, Raj Prakash, Manorama,Jeevan, Amir Bai Karnataki, Johny Walker, Lalita Pawar, Munshi Munaqqa, Adeeb, Daraz, Ratna, Maqbool, Paro etc in it.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Music is composed by Ravi.
The song is picturised as a melancholic song on Nimmi. Some people may argue that lip syncing melancholic songs was Nimmi’s way of expressing her joy. 🙂

Lyrics(Provided by Prakashchandra)
bataa ae aasmaan
main ab jaaoon kahaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaan
main ab jaaoon kahaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaan
khushi ki chhaaon maangi
gham kaa deraa hi milaa mujhko
khushi ki chhaaon maangi
gham kaa deraa hi milaa mujhko
ujaale ki tamanna ki
andheraa hi milaa mujhko
bhataktaa hi rahegaa kya
ye meraa kaarwaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaan
main ab jaaoon kahaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaa aan
hazaaron dukh utthhaa daalein
nahin shikwe kiye maine
hazaaron dukh utthhaa daalein
nahin shikwe kiye maine
bahut aahon ko rokaa hai
bahut aansoo piye maine
sitam laakhon sahe phir bhi
nahin kholi zabaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaan
main ab jaaoon kahaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaa aan
barasti hai ghataa gham ki
mere armaan jalte hain
barasti hai ghataa gham ki
mere armaan jalte hain
teri rehmat ke saaye mein
tere insaan jalte hain
kahin aandhi kahin toofaan
kahin par bijliyaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaan
main ab jaaoon kahaan
mujhe jeene nahin detaa
teraa zaalim jahaan
bataa ae aasmaa aan
