The last “Sarfaroshi ki tamanna” posted in the blog is this. That’s the ARR composition of the famous ghazal by Bismil Azimabadi.
ARR has one more composition of the same ghazal yet to be posted in the blog. I am planning to post that also in due time.
I know I have said this before too, that the relevance of Urdu poetry is a growing force, in our world. It is taken to one level by the connoisseurs, who treat it with reverence. And it has the vivacity to make a commoner want to reach out and learn the nuances of Urdu. People who have no connection or inclination towards classical poetry of any genre or language, are known to have “Takiya kalam” in Urdu. It is not just the poetry that has survived the test of time, it is the idioms and phrases, rooted in the culture of the society, the gunga-jamuni Tehzeeb and the ‘Mu’atabar” sounds, which made Gulzar say:
badi sha’ista lehje mein kisi se urdu sun kar
kya nahin lagtaa ki ek tehzeeb ki awaaz hai urdu.
I have reproduced the nazm titled – urdu zabaan – here.
Meanwhile, I have found some more renditions in hindi films. First one is this song in “23rd March (1931) – Shaheed (2002), the same year as “The Legend of Bhagat Singh”.
There are 3 versions by Mohammed Rafi posted in the blog. If I am not wrong, there exist few more by others like Mahendra Kapoor also.
Anand Raj Anand composes the present version. The film starred, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Amrita Singh with others. This song is filmed in a jail, with Bobby Deol playing Bhagat Singh and Suresh Oberoi as the jailor (British?).
Vinod Rathore, Mohammed Salamat and Bhupinder Singh are singing this group song.
Other versions are also work in progress, so I might post the full ghazal in one of those.
