“Laaj”(1946) was directed by Shahzada Ayyaz, Saiyyad Munawwar H Qasim for Ayyaz Productions, Bombay. This social movie had Shamim, Radharani, Ramesh, H Prakash, Rajan, Rehana, Gadagkar, Master Nisar, Madhurika, Mumtaz, Moti etc in it.

The movie had ten extremely rare songs in it. So any song from this movie that we bring on board is a minor achievement for us. Only one song from the movie has been covered in the blog so far.

Here is the second song from “Laaj”(1946) to appear in the blog. HFGK is silent as far as name of singers for seven songs are concerned, including this song. For other three songs Radharani is mentioned as the singer. The first song from this movie to be covered in the blog was one such song, but on listening to the song, it turned out that the song was sung not by Radha Rani but by Shamshad Begam.

This second song is sung by S D Batish as mentioned by the uploader, and the voice does sound like S D Batish.

Saghar Nizami is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ramchandra Pal.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.

I have not been able to note down a few words to my satisfaction. I request our knowledgeable readers with keener ears to help fill in the missing words/ suggest corrections in the lyrics wherever applicable.

PS-Now we know thanks to Sadanand Kamath jee and Girdharilal Vishwakarma jee, that the singer is not S D Batish, but Ramesh, who was an actor-singer and he has acted in this movie. Thanks are also due to Avadh Lal jee for providing the correct word “samt” thus helping fill up the gap in the lyrics.

With all these new information, we have unearthed a new actor-singer Ramesh that we were unaware of till now.


Song-Wo humse jo roothhe hain (Laaj)(1946) Singer-Ramesh, Lyrics-Saaghar Nizami, MD-Ramchandra Pal

Lyrics

wo humse jo roothhe hain
wo humse jo roothhe hain
naaraaz zamaana hai
naaraaz zamaana hai
ek un ko manaana kya
ek un ko manaana kya
duniya ko manaana hai
duniya ko manaana hai
wo humse jo roothhe hain

dekhen wo kidhar jaayen
ulfat ke doraahe pe
ek samt muhobbat hai
ek samt muhobbat hai
ek samt zamaana hai
ek samt zamaana hai
wo humse jo roothhe hain

toofaan ka bharosa kya
kashti ki shikaayat kya
maujon se kinaare tak
maujon se kinaare tak
khud doob ke jaana hai
khud doob ke jaana hai
wo humse jo roothhe hain

duniya to meri tum ho
tum ho o o o o o
kismat to meri ee tum ho o o o o o
kismat ka gila tum ho
kismat to bahaana hai
wo humse jo roothhe hain
naaraaz zamaana hai
wo humse jo roothhe hain aen aen

Atul ji,
The voice does sounds like that of S D Batish. But it is not. In fact, the website of S D Batish has not included this film in his filmography. Ref:http://batish.com/sd/filmography/

Then I felt that the voice may be of Ramchandra Pal, the music director who has rendered another song in this fim. Even this was contested.

Finally, I wrote to Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji who promptly responded by identifying the voice in the song as that of Ramesh, one of the actors in the film. He said the Ramesh was an actor-singer.

Thanks Atulji for bringing to us this rare but nice song.
To me, the words in the second stanza are “Samt“. It means towards a direction in Urdu. Our most knowledgeable Kamath ji and Deshmukh saheb will confirm that.
Once again, thanks and regards,
Avadh Lal
