Today (25 october 2015) is the 35th death anniversary of Sahir Ludhianvi (8 march 1921- 25 october 1980).
Sahir Ludhianvi made his debut as a lyricist in Hindi movies with “Aazaadi Ki Raah Par”(1948). This movie was directed by Lalit Mehta for Hindustan Kala Mandir, Bombay. The movie had Prithviraj Kapoor, Vanmala, Jairaj, Jagdeesh Sethi, Sunalini Devi, Jawahar Kaul, Narmada Shankar, Hamid Akhtar, Jamshedji, Avtar Singh, Ramniklal Dave etc in it.
There were six songs in this movie. Four out of these songs were penned by debutant lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.
The very first song that Sahir Ludhianvi wrote in this Hindi film career was this song under discussion. This song was sung by Bahadur S Nanji and chorus. Music was composed by G D Kapoor.

ज़मीन पे सरसराहटें,
फलक पे थरथराहटें
फिजां में गूँजतीं है एक
नए जहां की आहटें
फिजां में गूँजतीं है एक

I met Bahadur Nanji, a Parsi singer, Arranger, Musician (Age 94+) of the yester-years at our ‘Sargam’s’ program, where he used to come, whenever his health permitted, and whenever he was picked and dropped from his home by our regular member Tarachand Sawla. He was a regular Arranger for many MDs (Assistant MD to Roshan in ‘Malhar’). He was an instrumentalist for many film songs. (He played Harmonium for the song ‘Chalat Musafir Moh Liya Re Pinjare Wali Muniya’ from film ‘Teesari Kasam’). While talking to him I came to know that it was he singing a duet with Mubarak Begam, from the 1950 film ‘Basera’ -‘Dekhoji Baat Suno’, which I had in my ‘Khajana’, On our next meet, he was delighted when I gave him that song and other ‘Basera’ songs on an audio cassette.

What a rare treat!
The first song written by the great Sahir Ludhianvi, sui generis.
Thanks a lot, Atul ji, and, also to Shah saheb & Upadhyaya saheb.
I think this song was like the other gem by Khan Mastana in “Shaheed”.
Regards,
Avadh Lal
