Mukesh and his Composers – 24
LTNS is an unofficial Internet expression in vogue so much so that there is a wiki page too on it.
Well, its “Long Time No See” as far as my posts on the blog are concerned.
My honest excuses are detailed below.
Apart from the work routine, it was some sort of dejection that kept me away from writing. Dejection of meeting almost dead ends as far as search for rare Mukesh songs are concerned. It was my want of concentrating my efforts to try and trace rare songs that kept me away from adding new posts.
In the last couple of months, I pursued my efforts with renewed vigor by directly contacting some uploaders and collectors with my queries. A few responded, but there has been no communication or any hints regarding the sample rare list of elusive Mukesh songs. In fact, I have nearly half a dozen lists of untraceable songs.
Following is a brief gist of what I am frantically searching,
• The very first two private songs that Mukesh sang in Delhi before he came to Bombay are pressed on a disc with number N 14504. This particular disc and the two NFS therein does not seem to be available. Here is a post on the details of these total 6 NFS.
• The famous Rafi number from Do Badan (1966) “Raha gardishon mein hardam” was in fact sung by Mukesh for Ravi himself in the film Ghunghat (1960) but was not used in the said film. I sent an email to Gemini Studios also with no response from the other end. According to some sources, spool recording of Mukesh version was available with composer Ravi, who unfortunately lost it in 2005 Mumbai floods.
• Sangam (1964) has an unused song with the title “Kabhie na kabhi, koi na koi”. This could be available somewhere but is elusive as of now.
• Bebus (1950) with S K Pal as one of the composers has two fantastic solos and a great duet with Geeta Roy. However, one more solo “Do dil ho do dilon ka” does not seem to have been released on records. Needless to say, the film is lost in all probabilities and hence the question of film soundtrack version does not arise.
• Raat ki Rani (1949) had a Mukesh duet recorded by Hansraj Behl with Geeta Dutt. However, the same was re-recorded in the voices of Rafi and Lata and retained in the film. The Mukesh Geeta Dutt version has not surfaced anywhere.
Unfortunately, my efforts over the last couple of months to have some leads on the above have come to a naught. Well, the endeavor will continue for sure. And, as I said earlier there are many more untraceable songs in my lists.
Coming to today’s post, I tried to pull Avinash ji’s leg by reminding him that the month is ending soon, and the three-figure tally is yet to be achieved. In return, he pulled both my legs and reminded me of my LTNS on the blog. 😊
Further, in our direct messages on whatsapp, I sent him proof that I was indeed on the job. During this conversation, he reminded me for the second or third time that the lyrics of a Mukesh’s song from a 1971 film Sri Krishna Anjun Yudhh are pending with him for a long time. I was thus sort of compelled to take up this post.
One song from this film is already represented on the blog.
I have included today’s song in this series to have some sort of continuity. The composers are rather unknown, and it seems to be their only film. There are 5 songs in the film and the one sung by Mukesh is sung at the beginning of the film as the titles roll.
The title of the film is rather unusual as we all know the friendship of Krishna and Arjun in Mahabharata. However, there are several accounts stating the battle amongst the two to have indeed occurred. Whilst I was trying to find some lead regarding the story and circumstances of this battle, I came across another film of the same title released earlier in 1945. Naturally, the next step was to see if any songs from this 1945 film have been covered on the blog.
Lo and behold, there was indeed a debut representation of this film authored by our Sadanand Kamath ji. What is even more satisfying is the detailed story of this battle which Kamath ji has explained in full detail in his post.
I reiterate that the wealth of information available on this blog is simply matchless.
Again, coming back to today’s post, I have not included any table in this post as this is the only song sung by Mukesh in what was probably the only film of the composers Nandu-Pyaare.
Now, lets listen to this highly philosophical song sung by Mukesh.

kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
subah ko dekha bante shaam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
subah ko dekha bante shaam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
har hriday paashaan hai
ghar ghar mein shamshaan hai
kuchh badlaa insaan hai
kuchh badlaa bhagwaan hai
kaun banaaye bigde kaam
kaun banaaye bigde kaam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
bhaai bhaai mein phoot yahaan
mitr mitr mein loot yahaan
maar kaat ki chhoot yahaan
baat baat mein jhoothh yahaan
door huaa jag se aaraam
door huaa jag se aaraam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
raam raajya ka raag kahaan
lachhman sa anuraag kahaan
bharat saa wo vairaag kahaan
seeta jaisaa tyaag(?) kahaan
seeta jaisaa tyaag(?) kahaan
kahaan ayodhya saa wo dhaam
kahaan ayodhya saa wo dhaam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam
subah ko dekha bante shaam
aanewaalon ko raam raam
jaanewaalon ko raam raam
kiski dharti kiskaa gaam

AK ji,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, that would be an interesting find. I believe the gusto of Rafi saab will be missing in the Mukesh version.
I am counting on N 14504 as we get two important songs in one disc and the one from Sangam as it is relatively new.
Whatever is available in digital will remain as we now have multiples modes and storage facilities. Its only the gems available in other formats that need to unearthed and brought to the fore.
I wonder if there is any other singer with so many HFM songs which are unavailable/unreleased/missing or lost forever.

Thanks for this post Mahesh ji. I think that till the elusive songs are discovered and found the Mukesh ‘geetmala’ should continue on the blog in between if not regularly. There are still many songs from lesser known movies also to be covered on the blog.
I hope you will give a thought to this proposal. And I insist that it would be more enjoying if you would present these Mukesh songs since you already have done and doing a lot work on Mukesh songs.
Regards,
Avinash.

Greetings
Among the songs missing in my Mukesh collection is the duet ‘Hazar Dil Me Ho To Aise Nikle Wo Armaan’ sung along with Hemlata. The film is Bhima Mera Haathi and both the lyrics and music are Vedpal Verma. Any help and share would be helpful.
Thanks and regards

Ramanan ji,
We are drawing a blank in search of this song. Have you heard it earlier ?
If you are in possession of other rare songs of Mukesh and would like to share, please contact the editors.
Its Mukesh’s birth centenary year and any rare additions to the blog would be most exciting.
Thanks
mahesh

Mahesh,
I am impressed by your dedication in your search. I find ‘Raha gardishon mein’ very interesting. If you are able to locate it, it would be an eye-opener. Ravi did have some very nice songs for Mukesh, such as in ‘Pyar Ka Sagar’.
