#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————
“Sher Afghan-1966” was directed by B.R. Jhingan for ‘Shankar Movietone, Bombay’. It had Prithviraj, Nishi, Premnath, Suresh, Hiralal, Maruti, Ulhas, Zeb Rahman and others. HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) lists six songs for this movie leaving a space indicating possibility of more songs might have recorded for this movie. Lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri wrote all the songs for this movie. And music for this movie was composed by Husnlal-Bhagatram.
I guess that this was one of the obscure movies of its time. This film was introduced on the blog on 15.04.2015 by our Respected Sudhir jee. He had then shared this song ‘ae bahaar e zindagee tum mil gayin sab kuchh milaa’ from this movie. While presenting this song he had mentioned among other things the following about the details of this movie. I am reproducing edited text from his post here below.
As per records, this is the last film of the music director duo Husnlal Bhagatram. After this film, the two parted company, with Husnlal migrating to Delhi. This film is the only one in which Hasrat Jaipuri has written all the lyrics for the music of this duo. They had come together earlier in the 1961 film ‘Apsara’, but in that film, there were three lyricists (GS Nepali and Qamar Jalaalabaadi, besides Hasrat), and Hasrat Jaipuri wrote just one or two songs for that film.
The first song from this movie to appear on this blog was a duet song sung by Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur. Other than Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur, Asha Bhonsle and Minoo Puroshottam were the playback singers for this movie. Asha Bhonsle and Minoo Puroshottam had only song i.e. the female duet song in this movie. Whereas the voice of Suman Kalyanpur featured in five songs and the voice of singer Mukesh featured in only one song in this movie.
Today I am presenting the second song from this movie which is in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur. It is a nice song to listen to and it sounds as a fresh song to me. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier anywhere. Lyrics are by Hasrat Jaipuri and music is composed by Husnlal-Bhagatram.
Let us listen to this wonderfully sweet song now …
Song-Phool itne kabhee chaman mein na thhey (Sher Afghan)(1966) Singer-Suman Kalyanpur, Lyricist-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Husnlal Bhagatram
Lyrics
tumne to is kalee ee kaa
muqaddar jagaa diyaa aa aa◦
kaanton ko chhoo liyaa
to gulistaan banaa diyaa◦
phool itney kabhee chaman mein naa thhe
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
phool itney kabhee chaman mein naa thhe ae
ye kisee ke kadam kee raunaq hain ae
kadam kee raunaq hain
raaste jab hee
jagmagaaye hain
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
phool itney kabhee chaman mein naa thhe ae
kaun unsey milaayegaa aankhen aen
milaayegaa aankhen
chaand sooraj bhee
jinke saaye hain
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
phool itney kabhee chaman mein naa thhe ae
jab bhee mere sanam ko dekhaa hai ae
sanam ko dekhaa hai
dil farishton ke thharthharaayen hain
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
phool itney kabhee chaman mein naa thhe ae
hamse poochhe koyee wafaa ke maze ae
hamse poochhe koyee wafaa ke maze ae
haaye wafaa ke maze
hamne inke sitam uthhaaye hain
aaj shaayad wo muskuraaye hain
phool itney
