Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 47
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 15 March 2013, eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7681 Man baat na meri maane Rangeen Kahaani (1947) 2 songs covered out of 9 by now
7682 Mera tan naache mera man naache Badalti Duniya (1943) 2 songs covered out of 11 by now
7683 Us dil ki bhala taskeen ho kya Anand Bhawan (1953) Movie YIPPEED by now
7684 Agar teri duniya mein ye gham rahenge Sheroo(1957) 6 songs covered out of 7 by now

7688 Sabse bada naadaan wohi hai Pehchaan(1970) Movie YIPPEED by now

We observe that five movies (out of 8) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 15 march 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three movies that are still unYIPPEED and are therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

“Badalti Duniya”(1943) is one movie that had made its debut ten years ago (on 15 march 2013).

“Badalti Duniya”(1943) was directed by Mohan Sinha for Murari Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Mumtaz Shanti, Trilok Kapoor, K.C.Dey, Rajkumari Shukla, Badri Prasad, Vaskar, Shahazadi etc in it.

The movie had 11 songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog so far. Here is the third song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by K C Dey. Mohan Sinha is the lyricist. Music is composed by K C Dey.

Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that K C Dey appeared in the movie, it is clear that this song was picturised on him as a fakir/ beggar song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Fourties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————

The song under discussion is from the ‘1942’ movie ‘Dukh Sukh’.

It was directed by R.M. Daryani for ‘Ranjeet Movietone’.

It had Sitara, Vasanti, Rama Shukul, Pratima Devi, Khatoon, A. Shah, H.M. Shaikh, Mukesh and others.

As per details mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) this movie has twelve songs composed by Khemchand Prakash.
Lyrics for all the songs are written by Wali Sahab.

Vasanti, Sitara, Rama Shukul, Mukesh, Brijmala, Vitthhal, and Rajkumari had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Ab der na kar saajan phoolon se jo milna hai Mukesh, Sitara Devi 21.10.2012
02 Mori atariya pe aa ja ho Mukesh, Sitara Devi 10.12.2012
03 Hai aaj kal ki fikar hi kya Rajkumari 26.11.2021

Today’s song is the fourth song from this movie being presented on the blog. It is sung by Brijmala and Vitthhal.

As mentioned above lyrics are by Wali Sahab and music is composed by Khemchand Prakash.

The song seems to be a beggar song with a ‘philosophical’ touch and giving the message to love ‘kindness’ and ‘religiousness’. And not to run behind ‘moh’ and ‘maaya’. 🙂

Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is from the ‘1947’ movie ‘Qasam’ under the ‘blog ten year challenge 2013-2023’.

One song from this movie ‘Qasam-1947’ was posted on this day ten years back.

There were total five songs posted on this day on 03.02.2013. Out of these five songs four songs were from movies and one song was NFS of C.H. Atma.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-
#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Remembrance Day-Kavi Pradeep 11th December’2022)
—————————————

Today 11th December’2022 is the 24th ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of Ramchandra Narayanji Dwivedi whom we know by his pen-name Kavi Pradeep. He was born on 6th February 1915 and passed away on 11th December’1998.

I have written on Kavi Pradeep earlier on this blog and also mentioned how his songs-those sung by him especially- have an everlasting impression on me since my childhood. Later on as I grow and started my music collection I had bought the audio cassettes of his songs. These consist of both, cassettes of songs sung by Kavi Pradeep and also songs penned by him. After coming into the contact with this blog I have been increasing my knowledge about him, his biographical information and his filmography as a ‘Lyricist’ and as a ‘Singer’. I hope to present his full filmography on the blog sometime in the future.

Today on the occasion of Kavi Pradeep’s ‘remembrance day’ as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the ‘1977’ movie ‘Aaankh Ka Taaraa’. This movie is going to make its debut on the blog today.

“Aankh Ka Taaraa-1977” was directed by Shantilal Soni for ‘Naag Devta Films, Bombay’.

Shantilal Soni was also the producer of this movie.

It had Sachin, Bindiya, Om Shivpuri, Bindu, Ajit, Baby Pallavi, Dulari, Manisha, Nirupa Roy, Bharat Bhushan, Gajanan Jagirdar, Gufi, Mukri, Abhi Bhattacharya, Manhar Desai, Tun Tun, Preeti Ganguly, C.S. Dubey, Paintal, Baby Dimple Saigal and others.

Story of this movie was written by Shantilal Soni who was also the producer and director of this movie.
Screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Pandit Mukhram Sharma. Editing of this film was done by S.T. Koorani.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 01.09.1977.

This movie had seven songs written by Kavi Pradeep and music was composed by C. Arjun.

Usha Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, and Kavi Pradeep had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

Today’s song is sung by Kavi Pradeep himself.

I thought that we have run of the songs sung by Kavi Pradeep but still there are couple of songs other than the today’s song, sung by him and to be presented on the blog.

During preparation for this post I came across a song sung by him from the sixties too. But, for this post I want to stick to the seventies.

Following is the details of movies of 1971-1980 where Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics for movies and appeared as a Singer.

Sr.No. Name of the Film Year Music Director Other lyricist for this movie Kavi Pradeep Songs as Lyricist Kavi Pradeep Songs as Singer

16 Krishna Sudaama (07.08.1979)* 1979 Neeta Sen 8
17 Krishan Bhakt Sudaama (26.11.1980)* 1980 Neeta Sen 11
18 Karvaa Chauth 1980 C. Arjun 7
19 Baba Taaraknaath 1980 Neeta Sen 8

(The above list of movies is as mentioned in the book ‘Kavi Pradeep Ka Hindi Sahitya mein Avdaan’ by Dr. Dinesh Chandra Awasthi. It appears in alphabetical order of ‘Devnagari Script’. Also additional information is taken from ‘HFGK-Vol-V-1971-1980.).

(Note: -‘Krishna Sudaama-1979’ which had eight songs was re-certified in 1980 as ‘Krishan Bhakt Sudaama-1980’ with eleven songs. (Three additional songs were added to the eights songs of ‘Krishna Sudaama-1979’.).

Let us now listen to today’s song sung by Kavi Pradeep and lip-synced by Bharat Bhushan in the movie. He is seen with children who seem to be orphan and blind in the picturisation of this song.

Also seen in the picturisation of the song is baby Pallavi (Pallavi Joshi) who seem to be playing the childhood role of actor Sachin in this movie (my guess).

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 115
————————————————————————————–

Ten years back on this date viz on 17th October 2012, six songs from six different movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6866 Khuda Rakkhe Aabaad Jeewan Tumhaara Toofaani Tarzan (1937) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now
6867 Ham Thhe Tumhaare Tum Thhe Hamaare Dard (1947) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now

6871 Teri Hai Zameen Tera Aasmaan The Burning Train(1980) Movie YIPPEEE’D by now

One can observe that four movies (out of six) have since been YIPPEEE’D in the blog. In fact, two movies got YIPPEEE’D on that date ten years ago.

That leaves us with two movies that are not yet YIPPEEE’D and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (17 october 2022).

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ (1964) is one movie eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ was produced and directed by Devi Sharma for Janta Chitra, Bombay. The movie had Dharmendra, Kishore Kumar, Kumkum, SK Prem, Brahm Bhardwaj, Raani, Rehman, Nazir Hussain, Master Shahid, Asit Sen, Azra, Aruna Irani, Jankidass, Mridula Rani, Hari Shivdasani, Tuntun, Savithri Ganeshan (Wife of Southern Hero Gemini Ganeshan) etc. in it.

‘Ganga Ki Lahren’ has eight songs in it. Six songs have been covered so far.

Here is the seventh song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Usha Mangeshkar and chorus. The song is picturised as a beggar song on Master Shahid and several child artists. Savitri Ganeshan (South)is also visible in the picturisation. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

The song under discussion is sung by Rafi, Lata and Geeta Dutt. Mulkraj Bhakri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Husnlal Bhagatram. Only the audio of the song is available. It sounds like a fakeer/ beggar song to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

With this song, all the songs of “Naach”(1949) get covered in the blog and the movie joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 126 # Tumhaari Kasam-1978
——————————————-—————————

Most of us are familiar with this lovely song ‘ham dono milke kaaghaz pe dil ke chitthi likhenge, jawaab aayegaa’ from the movie ‘Tumhaari Kasam-1978’. This song used to be played frequently on radio when I was growing up(going by the release date of the movie I was just above ten years of age then).

I like this song very much and so when I prepared my list of songs that bring back memories this was by default included in my list. But what about other songs from this movie? I think they were not notable songs and were easily forgotten?

I was not aware about the other songs from this movie until this article when I looked upon to present a song from this movie on the blog.

‘Tumhaari Kasam-1978’ had made its debut on the blog well in the initial days of the blog i.e., on 04.10.2008.
So, today after a gap of ’12 years,05 months, and twenty-one days (‘4555’ days – including 24.03.2021) we are adding the second song of this movie. And I have deliberately chosen a lesser-known song from this movie sung by Preeti Sagar and lip synced on screen by Master Rajoo.

“Tumhaari Kasam-1978” was directed by Ravi Chopra for ‘Associated Films & Finance Corporation’. It was produced by C.V.K. Shastry.

This movie had Jeetendra, Navin Nischol, Moushumi Chatterjee, Padmini Kapila, Master Rajoo, Vimal Ahuja, Jagdish Raj, Prem Sagar, Achala Sachdev, Narbada Shankar, Lina Das, Ranjeet Sood, Anand Balraj, R.S. Chopra, Master Shaka and others. Komila Virk, Alka, Roopesh Kumar and Pradeep Kumar make special appearance in this movie.

Story of this movie was written by Tikam. Screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Kamleshwar.
Pran Mehra was the Chief Editor for this movie and Editing was done by S.B. Mane with Pradeep Mehra as his assistant.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 09.03.1978.

This movie had four songs (including one two-part song) written by Anand Bakshi. Music was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh, Asha Bhonsle, Preeti Sagar and Kishore Kumar give their voices to the songs in this movie.

here is a brief about this movie taken from ‘Wikipedia’;

Vidya (Moushumi Chatterjee) and Raja (Raju Shrestha) live in poverty. They get separated due to certain circumstances. Vidya starts working at Anand’s (Jeetendra) house as a maid. Raja is forced to beg for a local gang. While Vidya is attending to her chores, the alcoholic, Anand, tries to molest her. She escapes but is unfortunately hit by a speeding vehicle driven by Sunil Verma (Navin Nischol). This accident makes her visually impaired. The guilt-ridden Anand wants to apologize to Vidya. Will she accept the apology? Will Vidya reunite with her brother?

here is the list of songs of this movie as appearing in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980);

S.No. Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Ye naa hogaa, nahin hoga hoga…ham donon milke kaaghaz pe dil ke Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh 04.10.2008
02 Mera naam Raaja, main bheekh maangu kaise Preeti Sagar Being presented today
03 Hmm, zu zu … main husn ka hoon deewaanaa Kishore Kumar
04 Aye mast hawaa ye to bataa kis waqt yahaan Lata Mangeshkar
05 Ae ladki pyaar karegi, tu mera aitbaar karegi

(in two parts) Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar
*HFGK included the ‘title music track’ of this movie as the sixth soundtrack*

I have not watched this movie and only thing I associate this movie name is its ‘Asha-Mukesh’ duet so far. Also, I think this movie was not successful on the box office.

I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

Let us now listen to today’s song which also has the ‘signature touch’ of Rajesh Roshan. As mentioned above Master Rajoo is lip-syncing for Preeti Sagar’s voice and also seen in the picturization of the song are Anand Balraj, Moushumi Chatterjee and many others.

Blog Day :

4549 Post No. : 16134

The year that was … “2020” … we have finally come to the end of ‘Year 2020’ which has shaken the whole world and while people are trying to come to normal, the pandemics’ ‘aftershocks’ and its ‘new improved stains’ are still threatening to harm the humanity further.

Our heart goes to those who have lost their lives, those who have struggled and those who have faced difficulties in the ‘pandemic period’.
From that point of view all of us, those who will see the morning of ‘2021,’ are fortunate and should express our gratitude to the almighty, well-wishers, family members and friends, and to all them who have been caring for each other and maintaining social discipline to help the country fight back to this calamity.

Life moves on … and for people like me and like-minded music lovers this blog has been the main sources of motivation where we visited and enjoyed music to give us that much needed ‘therapeutic’ relief to forget for some time the harsh realities of life and sometime making us philosophical to think over and give a fight back or even to do an introspection.

Here I would like to highlight one comment on the blog by our regular inspiration Shri Manohar Lal Dave ji.

Suddenly it seems ONE DAY match for SHANKAR JAIKISHAN because there was no such T20 in their time. Thanks to Avinash ji, Atul ji…With SJ nearing 1K mark, the trio of lyricist-singer-composer in a song will be achieved and the BLOG will be complete in a sense in this gloomy year 2020. It will be an achievement for SJ to touch 1k mark first which they justifiably deserve like Sunil Gavaskar touching 10K mark in test.

I do not know how many of us have read this above comment and how everybody of us had interpreted it. But, for me it is a very big comment and while it also shares ‘feelings’ of many like me, it’s also the love for this blog and its magic that we are looking for our daily motivation here.

Regulars on the blog are aware of my (our) love for the railways 😊 When I came back from Kenya last year I had so many plans to visit my Mother (in Maharashtra) and other relatives and gang-outs with our team members, and thus travelling by train and relive the experience of train journey (after a long gap). However, fortunately or unfortunately it could not happen. The one ‘mini gang-out’ chance was missed on account of my health issues and after that the ‘lockdown’ happened and train services were cancelled. Secondly, then I got a job and it turned out to be the ‘shortest tenure job’ of my career. Meanwhile health issues continued and after some time they became ‘mind issues’😊

During this time where everything was looking going wrong the only thing I was doing ‘right’ (or I was able to do it correctly) was contributing to the blog with write-ups and sharing songs. It was like a retired person life or semi-retired life for me. (sabbatical is the other word – ‘Doctor’s terminology 😊)
Well, I was daily praying to the almighty to bring my life on ‘track’. (मेरी गाड़ी को पटरी पर ला दो भगवान्). And as it so happened the almighty got me engaged indirectly in the ‘maintenance’ of ‘tracks’ for all. (or मैंने उपरवाले से प्रार्थना की थी के मेरी गाड़ी को पटरी पर ला दो भगवान्, पर भगवान् मुझे काम ही ऐसा दिया के मैं सब के लिए पटरियों के मरम्मत के काम में हाथ बटाऊँ).
While the first job was around 35-40 kms from my residence the second one is 50-55 kms away from the city. Travelling for the first job I have to cross a over bridge on a railway line near the satellite station of the city and I used to see trains coming and going from a longer distance.
But now I am getting to watch the ‘tracks’ daily with those beautiful ‘track maintenance machines’ (innovation of the technology). Secondly a railway line passes around this place so I can watch trains coming and going. That reminds me of all the ‘train songs’ from our movies and specially ‘gaadi bulaa rahi hai’, which is a source of inspiration and motivation and how accurate are the words in this song …

dekho wo rail,
bachchon ka khel,
seekho sabak jawaanon
sar pe hai bojh,
seene mein aag,
lab pe duaa hai jaano
phir bhi ye ja rahi hai,
naghmein suna rahi hai
gaadi bula rahi hai,
seetee bajaa rahi hai

This has become my daily inspiration and motivation now.

Another good thing happening at the end of the year was the pre-engagement function of elder daughter 😊 (Sahir’s song always playing in the back ground in my mind).

So, the year ‘2020’ is ending on a very happy note for me on both home and work fronts. At work I have taken a new challenge but the daily inspiration and motivation – the train – with me. I get to read this tagline ‘the journey continues … with many miles to go’ daily now and it reminds me that the journey is still on … my journey continues…

And, that is why the today’s song is a ‘train song’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mehmood. It is from the 1955 movie ‘Do Dulhe’. Lyrics are by Pandit Indra and music is composed by B.S. Kalla.

On screen it is performed by a male and a female actress whom I am unable to identify, however Shyama and Sajjan are also seen in the picturisation of this song.

I had come across this song more than two years back now, when there was a discussion about train songs on the ‘Whatsapp group’ of Atulites.

Lastly, I wish to add about the other love of our group that is ‘cricket’. The year ended on a happy note for India as our team scored a win over Australia. The ‘year-ending’ also reminds me of statistics like most ‘runs’ or ‘wickets’ and ‘run and wickets double’ in a single ‘calendar’ year. If the scores in single calendar year is to be considered with reference to ‘write-ups’ and/ or ‘lyrics’ shared will be interesting to know (tnih) for the artists (as well as the contributors) 😊

Let us now enjoy this philosophical train song …

“Fifty Fifty”(1956) was produced and directed by Roshanlal Malhotra for Roopnagar Limited, Bombay. This “social” movie had Nalini Jaiwant, M Rajan, David, Manmohan Krisgna, Lalita Kumari, Amar, Sundar, Gope, Om Prakash, Tuntun, Helen, Mumtaz, Rajan Kapoor, Kathana, Dubey, Lalita Kapoor etc, with guest appearances by Randheer, Jayant and Jeewan.

The movie had eight songs in it. Six songs have been covered in the past.

Here is the seventh song from “Fifty Fifty”(1956) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Madan Mohan.

ONly the audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song. My guess is that the song is a beggar/ fakir song on some character artist.


Song-Kab tak tu Bhagwan se apna aap chhupaayega(Fifty Fifty)(1956) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Madan Mohan

Lyrics

kab tak tu bhagwaan se apna aap chhupaayega aa
tera likkha ik din tere samane aayega aa aa
saamne aayega
kab tak tu bhagwaan se apna aap chhupaayega aa
tera likkha ik din tere samane aayega aa aa
saamne aayega

jo saagar ke andar seepi beech chupaaye moti
dekh rahi hai sab kuchh logon us maalik ki jyoti
jo saagar ke andar seepi beech chhupaaye moti
dekh rahi hai sab kuchh logon us maalik ki jyoti
arre us maalik ki jyoti
jag ke bhedi kya bande se dhokha khaayega aa
tera likkha ik din tere saamne aayega
kab tak tu bhagwaan se apna aap chhupaayega
tera likkha ik din tere samane aayega aa aa
saamne aayega

jiski marzi bin o moorakh hil na paaye tinka
lekh likha hai paass usi ke tere ik ik din ka
jiski marzi bin o moorakh hil na paaye tinka
lekh likha hai paass usi ke tere ik ik din ka
arre tere ik ik din ka
kahaan phir uski nazron se tu bach ke jaayega
tera likha ek din tere saamne aayega
kab tak tu bhagwan se apna aap chhupaayega aa
tera likkha ik din tere saamne aayega aa aa
saamne aayega

Mohammed Rafi: The incomparable (II) – Song No. 20
—————————————————————

25/10/2020 – Remembrance Day of Sahir Ludhianvi 

Koyi shaayar ta’aaruf ka mohtaaj ho saktaa hai lekin uss ki shaayari kisi ta’aaruf ki mohtaaj nahi honi chaahiye, chaahe wo shaayari doosri zubaan mein tarjuma shudaa hi kyun na ho”.

So began the article published in the Urdu magazine ‘Fann Aur Shakhsiyat’ (Sahir number), dated 22nd July 1958, written by Khwaaja Ahmed Abbas.

Sahir. . . ba-zubaan e khud
(Answering a question asked by Nida Fazli)

I am the youngest among my contemporaries except Kaifi considering my age. Faiz, Sardar, Niyaaz all are senior.  When Majaz’s ‘Aahang’ was published I was a student in Matric (Xth std) and at the time of publication of Faiz’s collection I was studying in BA. There are really effects of Faiz in some of my poems. Majaaz is more classical, which I like. Maybe it is more impressive in ‘Chaklay’. Every poet is impressed by his senior poets. But there is a difference in vinegar and its affects. Many of my poems tackle different topics like, Taj Mahal, chakla, avoidance (garez), and beautiful turn (khoobsurat mod) etc. No one’s 100% and perfect. In Faiz’s work there are more of comparisons (Anthropomorphization). The adjectives in my poems create an atmosphere. The personality of the poet also has an impact on his art and expression. There is an inner circle, the subject and vivid representation takes shape accordingly. By nature I belong to the middle class. Maybe I have still not managed to de-class myself. Years ago my poems were heard silently among the labourers.  But Kaifi would generate more claps. Some people have an opinion that Sahir is more liked the college going boys and girl, this is poetry of an immature brain. But I do doubt the maturity of brains of the people who think like this. I am product of this very circumstances and it is natural to be affected by it. But the poetry’s subjects and their treatment is also bound to change with the age of the poet, as in our times Hafeez and A’dam were very popular among elderly poets. We used to take part is these Mushaa’ire, recited our poems which were well liked by all. Firaaq says this even today that “Mushaa’iron ke ticket to Sahir ke naam par hi bikte hain”.

I know there are very few people who understand Urdu and fewer are interested in it in India. But the revived interest in Urdu poetry, contemporary as well as some poets belonging to the earlier generations, and other literary works, which is raising its head frequently, is heartening. Urdu poetry in itself is a strong statement. It is very important and significant in the 21st century and new millennia also, as it was in 19th and 20th centuries.

And Sahir is a big part of this strong statement. For his content and creative flexibility. There may be a way of looking at his poetry apart from his roots in leftist ideology.  I don’t think he died with, as strong sense of his ideology as he began his active poetic life.

I am fascinated by the impact of Allama Iqbal on his poetry.  He wrote this in early 40’s :

ye kooche ye neelaam ghar dilkashi ke
ye lut’te huye caaravan zindagi ke
kahaan hain, kahan hain, muhafiz khudi ke
sana-khwaan-e-taqdees-e-mashriq kahan hain

Very few poets have used the word ‘khudi’ after Iqbal so immediately after him.  In fact the philosophy of ‘khudi’ is the inherent identity of Iqbal’s literary and poetic work.  Here if Sahir is speaking of ‘khudi’ it must be a reference to glorification and paeans of the civilizational progress of the ‘mashriq’ sung by Iqbal.   The question by Sahir is still valid, as it was 80 years ago.  The question is much bigger than ever, exactly when and how much more, the personal integrity, conscience of each one of us singing praises of cultural, civilizational and religious values are going to go and face this shameful reality.

Allama Iqbal left this world in 1939.  For the impressionable youth, a rebellious one like Sahir, the impressive content and complete logical values in Iqbal’s considerable poetic output, could have felt like the shackles.  So he hits out, at the reality of society, more in self-defence to stop his own slide into the spirituality.  He wants to stay in the realm of the material and spirituality seems like a cave to him, with no way out.

But it is a fact that he ventured into the cave, with a parody too :

cheen-o-arab hamaara, hindostaan hamaara
muslim hain ham watan hai saara jahan hamaara

Bringing it down to the basic issues of survival with:

Cheen-o-arab hamaara, hindostan hamaara
Rehne ko ghar nahin hai, saara jahan hamaara

He takes this She’r of Iqbal ;

Na tu zameen ke liye hai na aasmaan ke liye
Jahaan hai tere liye tu nahin jahaan ke liye

And makes it;

Na tu zameen ke liye hai na aasmaan ke liye
Tera wajood hai ab sirf daastaan ke liye

He does satire, demoralise and ridicule the concept of humans being the supreme creation, and degenerates it.  Not that he has any answers or solutions to the angst expressed in “jinhen naaz hai hind par. . .”.   How the ideology he wore on his sleeve, must have been time and again, weighed against the religiosity and convictions of Iqbal.  He challenges Iqbal’s concepts and thrives on it.

tere ishq ki intehaa chaahta hoon
meri saadgi dekh kya chaahta hoon

He takes the above ghazal of Iqbal and writes this as college bait-baazi song “Tere Pyaar Ka Aasra Chaahta Hoon“.

In relation to the saga called ‘chaklay’, I am reproducing a portion of the article ‘Sahir aur Us ki Sha’iri’, by Kaifi Azmi, originally published in 1948, in ‘Naye Adab Ke Ma’emaar’ (‘Ma’emaar’ – builders or constructors, derived from ta’ameer or ‘imaarat’):

The hapless and hungry nation in reverence towards which glorious paeans are sung with closed eyes, houses brothels at every step. Hence brothels are entrenched in Indian literature too.

The rank intensity, hatred and sincerity with which saahir has shaken up the ‘sanakhwan-e-tasdeeq-e-mashriq’ are simply incomparable.

In ‘chaklay’ (brothels), Sahir’s dignity, his soul and the restlessness of his conscience can be seen at the acme of eminence; I get goose bumps when I read this poem.  The feelings that might have stimulated him to write it are so intense that here his characteristic melancholy transforms into an overwhelming deluge.

[Source – ‘Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai’, selected and translated by Yasir Abbasi].

One wonders if Sahir ever gave a thought to Rafi sahab’s rendition of the songs of ‘Pyasa’, as he got into a controversy over credit and remuneration. It is 40 years since both of them left the temporary abode called life. We are into 100th year of Sahir and no closer to finding the reply to his call. . .

sana-khwaan-e-taqdees-e-mashriq ko laao
sana-khwaan-e-taqdees-e-mashriq kahan hain

I wonder if any literary work of this world, or any research paper is there, that offers solutions, shows the way out, of this socio-economic problem.  But it is a sad state of affairs that this civilization has ceased to view this as a degenerating parasite of a problem in society.  It exists only in Sahir’s poetry as an issue.

I am presenting a Rafi song on this occasion. This is a solo song written by Sahir Ludhianvi for the film ‘Naach Ghar’ (1959).  N Datta is the composer for this film. The song is a prayer, banjaara song, and overlay of a mujra.  As if the mujra is going on and the viewer is singing the song.  I can only guess at it as the video is not available.  The rendition by Rafi Sahab is again out of this world, especially the starting one minute, before the mujra part begins.  I am at a loss, ke sahir ki baat karun ya Rafi ki.

The movie ‘Naach Ghar’ has 10 songs with Rafi being the only male singer, singing four duets with Lata Mangeshkar, one with Asha Bhosle and one with Geeta Dutt.  The only solo song by Rafi in this film the present post.  I had never heard this song before March 2020, when I decided to post this as the birthday post for Sahir’s birth anniversary.  But since it could not be posted, I have revised the post for the death anniversary.

This is the 20th song in the series of ‘Mohammed Rafi – The Incomparable (II)’.   The first two differing portions of the song are too brief; one wants them to go on and on.  But the song moves on to beyond the dance music to chhed-chhaad mode, romantic and pardesi.  3:15 duration is too short to pack so much, and it ends too soon.  Only the audio is available of the song which is picturized on Gopi Krishna.  This could be a stage song or road-side tamasha song.

teri adaa pe qurbaan
o jaanewaale
na ja na ja na ja na jaa
yeri adaa pe qurbaan
o jaanewaale
na ja re
na ja na ja na jaa
na ja na ja na jaa
teri adaa pe qurbaan

मैं बंजारा
दूर का
घूमूँ डगर डगर
बसे रहें इस नगर के बासी
बसा रहे ये नगर
हो हो ओ ओssssss

अल्लाह के नाम पे
मौला के नाम पे
अल्लाह के नाम पे
मौला के नाम पे
दे दे ओ जाने वाले
अल्लाह के नाम पे
अल्लाह के नाम पे
मौला के नाम पे

तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा रे
ना जा ना जा ना जा
ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान

हो जाएँगे
हम दीवाने
हो जाएँगे
हम दीवाने
लुट जाएँगे
ख्वाब सुहाने
लुट जाएँगे
ख्वाब सुहाने
ओ ज़ालिम तरसाने वाले
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा रे
ना जा ना जा ना जा
ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान

परदेसी के दिल की दुआ ले
परदेसी के दिल की दुआ ले
खुद रुक जा या
हमको बुला ले
खुद रुक जा या
हमको बुला ले
घायल छोड़ के जाने वाले
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
ओ जानेवाले
ना जा रे
ना जा ना जा ना जा
ना जा ना जा ना जा
तेरी अदा पे क़ुर्बान
