#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
———————————————————————
(Debutant Movie – Bedard-1982 – Lyricist – Naqsh Lyallpuri-1)
———————————————————
Today’s song is a gem of song which remained a lesser heard and lesser known song, which might be because it is from a movie few people are aware of. The title of the film is ‘Bedard’ which seems to be an obscure movie of its time. I like this song very much for its poetic value and the overall composition. it is sung by Bhupinder Singh and the song is composed by Kanti Kiran.
Hardly any information is available about the music composer Kanti Kiran, except that he had also composed music for the Hindi movie ‘Jhoom Uthhaa Aakaash-1973’. I had shared a few songs from this movie earlier here on the blog and liked them too.
Lyricist for the song is Naqsh Lyallpuri (24.02.1928-22.01.2017). He is well known for penning many unforgetteble songs. He was born as Jaswant Rai in Lyallpur (now in Pakistan) and later his family migrated to India after partition. When he started writing poetry he took his pen name as Naqsh and since he belonged to Lyallpur (now known as Faisalabad in Pakistan) it got added as ‘suffix’ to his pen name as was customary during those times.
The life story of Naqsh Lyallpuri can be considered a perfect example of how destiny and luck plays its role in one’s life to help become a person successful as well and allow him to follow one’s passion and do things what one like to do in his life.
He had to struggle a lot to achieve his success. Naqsh’s father was an Engineer by profession in Lyallpur. However his job was a transferrable job. So they had to spend few years in Rawalpindi before coming back to Lyallpur again. Naqsh’s father wanted him to be an Engineer while Naqsh’s Uncle who was a Doctor wanted him to be a Doctor. However Naqsh himself was interested in literature and poetry. His teacher Ramlal spotted the literary talent in him and advised him to continue learning literature. Naqsh also learned Urdu, Persian and Arabic from his teacher. At home they generally used Urdu or Hindi. Naqsh was later shifted to a hostel in Lahore where he found his way to the ‘adabee mehfils’ (meeting of littérateurs’) where budding poets and established poets met regularly and presented their works. Naqsh got an opportunity to present his poetry here in around ‘1945’ when he was seventeen years old. Comments and advices from the seniors there helped him to improve further.
After partition of the country the family of Naqsh Lyallpuri came to Lucknow. From here started the struggle for the family to earn and sustain living. Naqsh was under pressure to join some job and start earning. Since he was not getting any suitable opportunities in Lucknow he decided to go to Bombay. He left Lucknow without telling his family members, with only two rupees in his pocket, and reached Bombay. He had a ‘pen-friend’ Pradeep Naiyyar in Bombay whom he thought of meeting in order to seek his help for some job. However, when he reached his friend’s place he found that he had gone out of station to Poona for two weeks. Naqsh was on the road looking for some shelter as he had already spent the money he had. He saw one Sardar ji near the place, whom he enquired with about some ‘shelter’ near-by. This Sardar ji helped him to get accommodation in Sarai – Gurudwara Matunga. The Sardarji also told him that he could stay at the Gurudwara for eight days with food two times in the langar. At the Gurudwara another generous Sardar ji who was from Ludhiana, helped him with some money when the later was returning back to Punjab.
Once it so happened that Naqsh set out to have a ‘paan’ after his meal at a ‘paan shop’ near ‘Citylight cinema’. At the ‘paan shop’a gentleman alighted from a car. It turned out that he was Deepak Ashaa friend of Naqsh from his Lahore days. He had become a film actor in Bombay. Deepak Asha (also known as film director Dharam Kumar who directed ‘Ghamand-1955’, etc.) took Naqsh to his home in Bombay and arranged for his stay and food in Bombay.
Naqsh got his first job in Bombay in the Post & Telegraph department at Mandvi post office in Bombay.
Naqsh never thought of writing for films. He came to Bombay in 1951 to get whatever work he could get to have a decent living. In his P&T job his job was to allocate staff based on requirement. People coming in his contacts loved him since he was a poet. This first job gave him earning of Rs.122.00 to 125.00 per month. However he quit his job as the job was not giving his the creative satisfaction that he craved for.
By this time he had earned some reputation as a’ poet-writer’ among his contacts who used to visit him regularly. Some of them suggested him to write a ‘play’ which they would arrange to stage. The title of this play was ‘Tadap’. Ram Mohan who was a well-known actor then was the lead actor of this play. Naqsh had also written five songs for this play. Ram Mohan was quite impressed with his works and he introduced Naqsh Lyallpuri to director Jagdish Sethi who was the director of the movie ‘Jaggu-1952’. Thus Naqsh Lyallpuri got his entry into the ‘Hindi Film World’.
After writing some songs for stunt films (which Naqsh was reluctant earlier, as he want to write for ‘social films’ only) he finally ‘rose to fame’ with the song ‘main to har mod par’ from the movie ‘Chetna-1970’. In between Naqsh Lyallpuri also wrote songs for many Punjabi films. In Hindi films most of his collaborations were with music director Sapan-Jagmohan, Jaidev and Khayyam.
We will be exploring his filmography and his collaborations with other music directors in future posts under this series. We will also discuss his most popular songs and songs that remained lesser known but had his ‘trademark’ ‘soft, tender and meaningful’ poetry in them.
Let us start this journey of ‘songs’ written by Naqsh Lyallpuri with a song from the movie ‘Bedard-1982’ in this post.
“Bedard-1982” (passed by Censor Board on 29.06.1982) was directed by Rajdeep for ‘R.K. International, Bombay’. It was jointly produced by Qadeer Khan & Rajdeep. The director Rajdeep had also written Story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie. He had also done the editing of this movie. The cast of this movie included Neeta Mehta, Vikram, Rajdeep, Rehana Sultana, Kanan Kaushal, Master Shiboo, Bharat Bhushan, Jairaj, B.M. Vyas, Kamalakar Date, Padmashree, Ajay Chaddha, Ashok Nag, Mohan Choti, Montu, Baldev Kalsi, Amul Sen, Yunus Bihari, Javed Khan, Sonu, Baby Haseena, Baby Anita, Dilip, Jabbar, Pushpa Singh, Rashid, Tuntun and others.
‘Bedard-1982’ has three songs written by Naqsh Lyallpuri and composed to music by Kanti Kiran. Bhupinder Singh and Asha Bhonsle had given their voices to the songs in this movie where Bhupinder Singh has one solo (with chorus) and Asha Bhonsle has sung two solo songs for this movie.
The director of this movie Rajdeep who also acted in this movie seems to be a multifaceted personality who has done acting, lyrics writing, direction, producing films and writing for Hindi Films. As a director he has the following movies to his credit.
1) Iraadaa – 1971
2) Basti Aur Baazaar – 1973
3) Hazaar Haath – 1978
4) Sister – 1980
5) Bedard – 1982
I could not find more information about director the Rajdeep (like his biographical information etc) except that he has done acting, writing, singing in films other than direction of films. He has been a producer of few movies too.
Coming to the movie ‘Bedard-1982’, I guess that this movie is not available online. I had never watched this movie earlier and I was not aware of this movie till recently. ‘Cinemaazi’ mentions the story of this movie in brief here which they mention has been taken from the ‘official press booklet’ of this movie. The story of the movie is of ‘love and sacrifice’. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and picturisation of its songs.
Let us now listen to this song which is written by Naqsh Lyallpuri and composed by Kanti Kiran. From the sources available we can conclude that this is the only movie where they worked together. Bhupinder, my favourite singer has sung this song. Over to the song now…
With this song this movie ‘Bedard-1982’ makes its debut on the blog.
