#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-55)
—————————–
Today 6th February 2026 is the 111th birth anniversary of Poet-Lyricist Kavi Pradeep. He was born on 06th February 1915 and he passed away on 11th December 1998.
On this occasion today we will be presenting a few songs written by him here on this blog.
In this post I am presenting a song from the 1941 movie ‘Jhoola’. It was directed by Gyan Mukherjee for the famous ‘Bombay Talkies Ltd, Bombay’. It has Leela Chitnis, Ashok Kumar, Shah Nawaz, V. H. Desai, Mumtaz Ali, Karuna Devi, Shahzadi, Rajkumari Shukla, Meenu Kapoor, M.A. Aziz, Kazi, Master Lakshman, Leeladhar Sharma, Iqbal Bai, B.M. Dixit, Jyoti, Dulari, Nana Palsikar and others. This movie has eleven songs which were all written by Kavi Pradeep. Music for this movie was composed by Saraswati Devi. The playback singers for this movie were Leela Chitnis, Ashok Kumar, Rahmat Bano, Kavi Pradeep and Arun Kumar.
Geet Kosh Vol-I mentions that for six songs the tunes were suggested b Kavi Pradeep himself and for one song the tune was suggested by Pannalal Ghosh. Today’s song is one such song from this movie where the tune of the song was suggested by Kavi Pradeep.
Today I am presenting the tenth song from this movie which is in the voice of Rahmat Bano and Arun Kumar. Lyrics are by Kavi Pradeep and music is composed by Saraswati Devi. Today’s song is a ‘celebration song’ and it is celebrating the ‘engagement ceremony or ring ceremony’ i.e. ‘sagaaee’. In the picturisation of this song we have many artistes in the gathering to grace the occasion. I am unable to identify almost all of them except I guess actor Shah Nawaz is present there. Leela Chitnis is shown in the background of the song. As the song ends,actress Karuna Devi making her entry and frowning at the goings on.
Let us listen to and enjoy this song now…
