#the Decade of Fourties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
In this post I present a song from the movie ‘Aaj Aur Kal-1947’.
Readers would have noted my growing interest in the songs of ‘1947’. After knowing (from Shri Arunkumar ji’s comment) that the year ‘1947’ still holds the record for maximum Hindi movies released, I have developed an interest to try and bring all the songs available from this year ‘1947’ on the blog.
Secondly this year ‘1947’ is an important year for all of us as it was in this year that we got our freedom. So I am keen to know more about the movies and songs of ‘1947’.
In case of today’s movie, not much information is available in HFGK as also mentioned by Shri Arunkumar ji while presenting the earlier two songs from this movie on the blog.
Here is this brief mentioned about this movie in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950).
“Aaj Aur Kal-1947” alias ‘Today or Tomorrow’ was directed by K.A. Abbas for ‘Chitra Productions Ltd, Lahore’.
It had Neeta, Rashid Ahmed, Aarif and others.
Music for this movie was composed by Khursheed Anwar.
Respected Arunkumar ji has gathered some information about this movie after lot of efforts and he has given this information in one of his posts with a song of this movie on the blog. I am reproducing this information below.
I had to strive very hard to collect information on this film from various sources and I learnt that the producers of this film were CR Gwalani and RK Parasher. Actors Shyam and Nayantara were the lead actors and singers Zeenat Begum, Imdad Hussain and Naseem Akhtar sang some of the songs of this film. The most important information I got was that the story of this film was a science fiction story. It portrayed life in an imaginary city called Gandhi Nagar in the year 2048 (100 years later in future).
The cast of the film ‘Aaj Aur Kal’ aka ‘Today Or Tomorrow’ (1947) was Neeta, Rashid Ahmed and Arif as per HFGK. I do not know who Neeta or Arif, but I certainly know who Rashid Ahmed was. He was popularly known as Rashid Khan in later films.
( I have collated two separate paragraphs (second one not in full but partial only) from Shri Arunkumar ji’s post and given it above).
“Aaj Aur Kal-1947” has six songs and as specifically mentioned by Shri Arunkumar ji all the six songs are ‘sweet’ songs.
Though HFGK mentions the list of ‘song-titles’ of this movie it doesn’t mention the name of the lyricist and name of the singer/s for the individual songs.
Here is the list of these six songs.
| SNo | Song Title | Singer | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Khuli hawaa mein udney waale | ||
| 02 | Is khat khat ne, is dhad dhad ne | ||
| 03 | Aao saathi aao, saathi tum kis ore chali,/a> | Zeenat Begum, Imdad Hussain | 22.08.2022 |
| 04 | Pade ishq mein jaan ke hamko laale | Zeenat Begum | 28.08.2019 |
| 05 | Jaam uthhaa le o peenewaale | ||
| 06 | Kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain |
(Note*- the singer’s names mentioned in above table are as mentioned in the posts with this song on the blog).
As mentioned above two songs from this movie have been posted earlier on the blog.
Today’s song is the third song from this movie. The links for the song mentions the name of the singer as Naseem Akhtar. However the name of the lyricist is not known.
Let us now listen to this ‘poetical’ beauty song. I hope readers will enjoy this song.
If someone comes across a lovely song like this it is difficult to hold the temptation to share it here on the blog 🙂 I am a big fan of such songs.
Let us now listen to this song, the third song from ‘Aaj Aur Kal-1947’ to appear on the blog.

Song-Kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain (Aaj aur Kal)(1947) Singer-Naseem Akhtar, Lyrics-Unknown, MD-Khursheed Anwar
Lyrics
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain aen
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain
phoolon ko jalaane aaye hain
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain
phoolon ko jalaane aaye hain
is baagh ki daali daali mein
is baagh ki daali daali mein
wo aag lagaane aaye hain
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain aen
mehmaan banaayaa thhaa unko
aankhon pe bithhaayaa thha unko o
mehmaan banaayaa thhaa unko
aankhon pe bithhaayaa thha unko o
maaloom na thhaa
wo is ghar ko o
maaloom na thhaa
wo is ghar ko
veeraan banaane aaye hain aen
maaloom na thhaa
wo is ghar ko
veeraan banaane aaye hain aen
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain aen
wo apne geeton ke tohfe ae
le jaayen hamaari mahfil se ae ae ae
wo apne geeton ke tohfe
le jaayen hamaari mahfil se
ham amrit ke matwaalon ko o
ham amrit ke matwaalon ko
wo zahar pilaane aaye hain
ham amrit ke matwaalon ko
wo zahar pilaane aaye hain
kaliyon ko masalne aaye hain aen
