On the afternoon of August 27, 1976, in Detroit city of America and at Hotel Pontchartrain to be precise, Mukesh had a massive heart attack and passed away on his way to the hospital. Less than a mile away at Ford Auditorium, he was supposed to perform his last concert of his 1976 US tour. But it was not to be.
A copy of his beloved Ramayan and his self-assurance that his son would continue his legacy were with him when he passed away.

On his remembrance day today, we pay tributes to Mukesh who passed away with his boots on.

In Sheesham (1952), Mukesh sang,

sitaare tootne se aasmaan kaa
kyaa bigadtaa hai,
kami kyaa hogi duniyaa mein
agar ik ham nahin honge

Nearly, half a century later, the void created by his passing away remains a void.

For today’s short post, I have taken up a very short song or rather a snippet and that too unreleased on records. It is from the much-acclaimed RK film’s, Sangam (1964). All songs from this film have been covered on the blog and the film apparently yipped. However, the present snippet and one more solo “kabhi na kabhi, koi na koi, kahin na kahin” were not part of the film soundtrack.

Whilst efforts are on to somehow fetch the aforesaid song, I present the one that is available to us. It has very few uploaders on youtube with the present one having been uploaded by Nikhil Iyer ji.

A much longer version of the same song seems to have been earlier sung by Zohrabai Agrewali (1868–1913). I request readers to throw more light on this aspect as my knowledge on the same is quite limited.

It would be interesting to know under what circumstances and at what stage Raj Kapoor would have rendered these lines in the film. I remember watching this movie on the net but do not remember this snippet being rendered on the screen. Or perhaps it was part of some unedited version of the film or would have been cut and was never part of any released versions. In this context, I also request influential readers to suggest possibilities as to where the other unused solo can be sourced from.

For the time being, let us cherish what is available in the domain; this rare “unused” short snippet from Sangam (1964). MGK-II does not attribute any lyricist or composer to this song.

Mukesh, a singer with a golden voice, a man with a noble heart, a lifetime of remembrance and a legacy to last for generations.

Lyrics

Pee ke hum tum jo chaley
hic
jhoomte maikhaane se
jhuk ke ek baat kahi
sheeshe ne paimaane se
hic

This is a part of a ghazal which became very popular when Zohrabai Agrewaali recorded the ghazal for HMV sometime in 1908. While she sang only 2 she’rs of the ghazal, the full ghazal is as under:

पी के हम तुम जो चले झूमते मैखाने से

झुक के कुछ बात कही शीशे ने पैमाने से

अरे तुझ को क्या फायदा जल जाने से?

शमा ने भी ना पूछा कभी परवाने से

अरे हमने देखी है किसी शोख की मस्ती भरी आँख

अरे मिलती जुलती है छलकते हुए पैमाने से

अरे आप आ जाएँ तो शायद के क़रार आ जाए

अरे दिल-ए-बेताब बहलता नहीं बहलाने से

Later, this ghazal was rendered by Ustad Faiyyaz Khan in thumri style.

Mukesh has rendered in the traditional tune as rendered by Zohrabai Agrewaali.

Thanks for this information. Do we have any information about the lyricist ?

I could not get the name of the shaayar. Probably, those days the singers/composers themselves would write the ghazals.
