As usual, I cannot keep away from Rafi songs for long. I stumbled upon this movie in the list of songs movie-wise and saw only 7 songs are posted out of 12. The movie is Mastani (1955), the middle of 50’s decade when Rafi Sahab was still finding his niche in the industry and was adding variety of flavourful spices in each new song, he sang for each new actor. The talent of instilling mischief and new murkiyan in the rendition, became the highlight of each music score, who ever be the composer. It also put the other male playback singers in the shade because none could compete. Not the old brigade of singers of 40’s, who sedate style of singing was soon to become obsolete. Mid 50’s was also the time when music score with Rafi sahab as solo male singer started.
Some thought he could find his core strength in playback and people can bracket him into a comic singer, or a theme song singer, or faqeer baba singer. But it was soon clear, that there was no genre of song that the MD could compose and Rafi Sahab could not sing. This was the voice of hero, in romance and sadness, voice of the character actors, and voice anyone else having a song to sing in the films script.
On seeing the list of songs of Mastani 1955, I found that a solo song by Rafi Sahab is missing from the posted list:
| Song | Date of post |
|---|---|
| Ameeron ke bhagwaan gareebon ko sataaya na karo | 27 May 2013 |
| O dilruba sun tujhpe mera dil nisaar hai | 30 May 2013 |
| Dil toot gaya har tukde se aawaaz sunaai deti hai | 18 July 2017 |
| Koi aisi ho mastaani…usi ka main hoon deewaana | 11 April 2021 |
| Gaadee waale ho o zara dheere dheere chalna | 27 May 2023 |
| Ankhiyon se ankhiyaan milaa ke chaley jaayenge | 30 May 2023 |
| Basre kee hoor goree goree | 19 December 2024 |
The missing solos words are given as “hamen O sangdil tum se Mohabbat (wafa tumhare liye beqaraar)” . This song is nowhere to be found on youtube. Further search revealed this duet song under discussion in this article is not posted. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan writes lyrics of this song. Music director is B. N. Bali and he himself has sung two songs in the movie, including one duet with Shamshad begum (yet to be posted).
This is a nok-jhonk chhed chhad duet song, most probably filmed on the household servants in the film. My guess is ‘Agha” to be the male actor. Female actor could be Ratnamala who is lamenting the lack of time. The servants are talking about the bosses behind their back, saying ‘saab maarega danda” (reprimand) and “seth degaa mujhe laat” – (giving me the boot).
Sometimes what is said in songs and what is meant by the words are two different things.
Rafi Saahab in full form and Asha Bhosle trying to attain the comfort level.
Editor’s note:- This song is very long (nearly seven minutes long) in two parts on both sides of the record. Lyrics in the second part reveal that this song is a light hearted look at a “fashionable” wife who is so busy in “fashion” that she has no time for her family including children. The two singers sing for various characters (viz the couple, the servant, the suffering children etc).
Lyrics of the entire song was sent by Prakashchandra long ago.
