Here comes song no. 4 of ‘desert’ songs series. This is a personal favorite from the film “Ham dil de chuke Sanam”(1999). Since the story was in Rajasthan, so there are a few songs in the film picturized in desert location. This is a qawwali type sad song. First part of the song is in desert. The second stanza plays in the film right at the end. The video link I have found is only the first part of the song. However the audio link has full audio of the song.

Just browsing on the blog, through the list of songs by film, I come across the film ‘Sangam’ from 1964. As per records, the film has eight songs, and seven are already posted here on the blog. The last entry for this iconic film and its songs is from August last year. As I paused on this list, I immediately realized what is missing. The missing song is the famous multi-lingual creation in the voice of Vivian Lobo. And friends, that was the easy part. Getting down to decipher just the four lines of non-English verses, turned out to be a multi hour marathon exercise. Don’t know why, but I just got fixed on this today, and now, after having spent a better part of the night and day, I am thinking, I should have left it alone. Or maybe not. 🙂 🙂
