The Voice of Mukesh #72
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
I am sure the regulars will remember. Reviving this series after a gap of almost seven years. When I paused working on this series, I had already posted 71 of some of the most rare, less heard and not easily available songs of Mukesh. The songs posted were mainly from the decades of 1940s and 1950s. Although I had clicked on the pause button back in 2016, the work to bring on board more of Mukesh songs did continue. And it still does, with the tireless research effort of our resident Mukesh expert and mureed (मुरीद), dear Mahesh ji.
Mukesh songs continue to get posted with an occasional regularity. But the fact is that not many of his renditions now remain to be posted. The calculations vary, as we keep encountering the occasional surprise find of new Mukesh songs, or known songs heretofore unavailable, that suddenly become available. And Mahesh ji is doing a good job of keeping track. Harish Raghuvanshi ji, who has earlier published the Mukesh Geet Kosh, has recently in 2020, published the second edition of that compilation which is updated with numerous new identifications and additions to the list of known songs of Mukesh. It has given a new life and a new impetus to the search efforts.
Given all that additional information, however, the total number of songs by this singer with such a soulful voice, continues to hover around the thousand mark. When I encountered this awareness some years back, as I worked on the ‘Voice of Mukesh’ series, it made me wonder initially. Listening to Mukesh and remembering his songs, one always carried an impression that his total portfolio must be much larger. But no. From a active career that lasted a little over three decades, we have what we have in his voice. But the impression carried tells otherwise. At that time, I had wondered as to why. Then the realization slowly came
As we listen to a singer, our memory unconsciously builds a list of songs of that singer, that we are aware of. And the general impression is that the amount of songs of a singer that we have heard and retain in our memory, is but a part of the larger body of work of that singer. So an expectation is built that there are or may be, many more songs of that singer which we have not heard or which we do not remember. Part of that is to do with the fact that, one – not all songs of a singer become popular with the public, rather a good percentage does not. And two, the availability of majority of the body of work of a singer is generally never complete.
By this measure, in my opinion, Mukesh scores much above all other singers, as the percentage of his songs that are popular and that one is familiar with, is much higher in comparison. And that is what gives the impression that maybe there are many more that we have not heard.
There is something so uniquely attractive about his voice that practically all his songs have become popular, and are retained in the collective memory of the listeners. There is such a simplicity of expression in his voice, and there is a depth in the tonal quality, that makes one feel his voice as coming from deep inside his soul and reaching into the depth of the listener’s soul. I believe this is a quality of rendition that is unique to him. In my humble opinion, yes there are other voices that are simply great, especially from the Golden Era, but this quality, this trait is very unique and very personal with Mukesh.
I bring on board a song today which is not really a rare song. It is from the era most familiar to us, and just a wonder that it has waited so long in the wings to get posted. The song is from an unreleased film from the 1970s titled ‘Sweetheart’. This was supposed to be a big production with Shashi Kapoor and Asha Parekh in lead roles. For reasons that we are not aware of, this film never did take off. However, some songs of this film were created and recorded. Geet Kosh lists four songs, along with the indication that there could have been more. All songs are penned by Anand Bakshi. The music came from the mind of the duo Kalyanji Anandji. One song of this film is already showcased on our blog – a lovely Rafi-Lata duet – “Ban Ke Saathi Pyaar Ki Raahon Mein”. That song was posted way back in 2014. The second follows now after almost nine years.
This solo by Mukesh is an enchanting rendition that will just steal into your heart. I remember from the radio listening days that this song was quite popular and was heard often, if not frequently. Then it got lost for some time, and now with online availability, we have the good fortune to hear it again.
The lyrics attempt to describe the state of mind of a person who probably will never find love in his fortunes. The poet terms him as a ‘deewaana’, but this ‘deewaana’ is of a different category than the regular ‘deewaana’ we are familiar with. The one we are familiar with has a trait of being mad in love. However, this ‘deewaana’ that is being described does not have love in his life because his preoccupations are different. It is very difficult to coach and teach such a person. The stories that interest him are different, and he is not familiar with ups and downs in the passages of love. The poet says that such a person may not find love in life. Quite a different and peculiar thesis about the fortunes of love.
As always, it is such pleasure to listen to unposted and less heard songs. In search of unposted songs of Mukesh, we are trying to bring on board few of his remaining songs, as part of the centenary celebrations for this singer with such unique and soulful voice. Working towards the date – 22nd July, Mahesh ji and I plan to bring on board a few more songs of Mukesh.
Happy listening.
Song – Koi Koi Aadmi Deewaana Hota Hai (Sweetheart) (UR) (1970s) Singer – Mukesh, Lyrics – Anand Bakshi, MD – Kalyanji Anandji
Lyrics
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
mushkil is nadaan ko samjhaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
dil ki bezubaanian kuchh aur hoti hain
dil ki bezubaanian kuchh aur hoti hain
aankhon mein kahaaniaan kuchh aur hoti hain
hothon pe afsaana kuchh aur hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
toofaan kya hota hai saahil kisko kehte hain
toofaan kya hota hai saahil kisko kehte hain
tanhaai kya hai aur mehfil kisko kehte hain
wo in saari baaton se begaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
aise insaan ki qismat mein pyaar nahin hota
aise insaan ki qismat mein pyaar nahin hota
uske seene mein dil hi dildaar nahin hota
toota sa sheeshe ka ik paimaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai
koi koi aadmi deewaana hota hai

कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
मुश्किल इस नादान को समझाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
दिल की बेज़ुबानीयां कुछ और होती हैं
दिल की बेज़ुबानीयां कुछ और होती हैं
आँखों में कहानियाँ कुछ और होती हैं
होठों पे अफसाना कुछ और होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
तूफाँ क्या होता है साहिल किसको कहते हैं
तूफाँ क्या होता है साहिल किसको कहते हैं
तन्हाई क्या है और महफिल किसको कहते हैं
वो इन सारी बातों से बेगाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
ऐसे इंसां की क़िस्मत में प्यार नहीं होता
ऐसे इंसां की क़िस्मत में प्यार नहीं होता
उसके सीने में दिल ही दिलदार नहीं होता
टूटा सा इक शीशे का पैमाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है
कोई कोई आदमी दीवाना होता है

Just heard the song with this post.
The opening tune, before the mukhda i.e., feels like the opening for the song:-
“do rang jeevan ke aur do raaste”
Doesn’t it?

After all the lyrics are by Anand Bakshi and its singing by Mukesh make it not only more meaningful but also gives the feelings a different dimension and built up the image of the subject in front of us.
Thanks for introducing us to this song. Like the post and this song very much. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier.

Sudhir ji,
Many Thanks for this post.
I had a KA-Mukesh compilation cassette wherein almost all songs were melancholic in nature including this particular song.
But, what stood out in the album was this particular song with its atypical lyrics. I wonder what the situation would have been in the film.
Needless to say, a great rendition by Mukesh.
