chhed kar taaron pe dil ke
ek adhoori ragini
aur deewaane ko deewaana bana jaate ho tum
24 February 2024 marked the birth centenary of legendary singer and actor Talat Mahmood. Born on 24 Feb 1924, he passed away on 09 May 1998 at the age of 74. This write up was planned to coincide with the Birth centenary, but the article got delayed. The remembrance day today (9 May 1998) offers us another opportunity to pay our tributes to Talat Mehmood (24 Feb 1924-9 May 1998).
I have inordinately delayed paying tributes to one of my favorite singers on his birth centenary and express sincere regrets for this lapse.
I did not see much fanfare or homage on his centenary day on social media and news items in laudation of one of the most popular voices HFM has ever seen. Or maybe, I must have missed them.
His biography by his relative Sahar Zaman, was also unveiled and launched just a couple of months before his 100th birthday. One would have expected it to be released on his centenary date which was just about two months away from the launch date, but I suppose, the biographer found it more prudent to release the biography at the 16th Global Film Festival held in December 2023 at Marwah Studiosm (at Noida, close to Delhi).
His son Khalid Mahmood maintains his father’s website ‘A Golden Voice – Talat Mahmood‘. It’s a well-maintained website containing ample information and pictures on the life and career of Talat Saab. Of particular interest to self and readers would be the page on Talat Saab’s song list wherein most of the details are provided barring the names of the respective lyricists and the year of release of the films. However, the list is of immense help particularly in tracing his unheard and hitherto unavailable songs. The list also has details on songs from unreleased films. For example, a solo and a duet with Lata Mangeshkar have been listed from an unreleased film ‘Preet Na Jaane Reet’. What caught my attention was the composer’s name. Sajjad Husain. Wow. The combo will inevitably remind fans of ‘Sangdil’ (1952). I understand from our Sudhir ji that the lyrics are also mentioned in the Talat Geet Kosh. He is also on the job of tracing the audio of the songs.
Coming to his songs it is easy to sum up his career as a singer of less than 750 odd songs, about a dozen films as an actor, multiple state and club awards, pioneer of foreign concerts and a Padma Bhushan in 1992.
But then, Talat Mahmood’s career is not about numbers. In fact, it is more than mere class or quality also. His voice is about a phenomenon and the legendary cult that continues to enthrall listeners all over the world to this day.
Talat Saab has sung for himself as well as provided playback. However, hardly 450 odd songs are on record, compared to few thousands by his notable contemporaries. Of these, 400 plus songs are already showcased on the blog. That’s a good 90% coverage and I am sure it will not be long before all available HF songs of his are represented here. There are around 167 geet, ghazal, bhajans etc. according to this website. Hardly 14 of these NFSs have been represented on our blog. So, we still have a lot of ground to cover as far as his NFSs are concerned.
Of all the singers of the golden era, his was the distinct voice which has its own aura and has stood the test of time. When a Talat song comes on radio / TV programs or our own collection of songs, it’s always about the voice that the mind steps back and ponders about the rare element in his renderings. He neither has the numbers nor the range, but whatever has been exhibited continues to glow in gold.
I was under the impression that I have written only one post on Talat Saab, but then, I was pleasantly surprised to trace 3 of my posts on Talat Saab wherein I seem to have covered quite a few aspects on his songs, his voice and his special association with Mukesh. Of special mention are the two songs from ‘Yahudi’ (1958) and ‘Sujata’ (1959) associated with his good friend Mukesh. I would request readers to visit the following 3 posts for these mentions and the stories behind the two songs.
| Song Post Number | Song Title | Movie (Year) | Date of post | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11658 | Mitne de meri zindagi | Meharbani (1950) | 15 December 2015 | |
| 12724 | Mujhko mohabbat ho gayi hai | Biwi aur makaan (1966) | 22 December 2016 | Sung by Mukesh, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood and Joginder |
| 14996 | Aao baadal chain re royen | Aawaara Ladki (1967) | 19 April 2019 |
On reading the above posts once again, it seems I had a better flair for writing, a decade back than what I possess now. Again, on discovering the contents of the above posts, my efforts in this post have been cut to size. I have even listed 15 of his best songs (my selection) in one of the posts; something which I normally avoid because great songs of legends cannot be short-listed.
‘King of Ghazals’, ‘India’s Frank Sinatra’, ‘Velvet voiced’ and many other sobriquets have been rightly used and reused for him. So instead of writing on his voice, I will try to emphasize on a few songs, especially for the lyrics and the flawless rendition and the empathy conveyed by him.
a. abhi zinda hoon lekin sochata rehta hoon ye dil mein
ki ab tak kis tamannaa ke sahaare jee liyaa maine
These lines from the song “Muhabbat Tarq Ki Maine, Gharebaan See Liya Maine” of film ‘Doraaha’ (1952) are like a sharp knife cutting through the heart so much so that you tend to sympathize with the feelings. Each stanza in this song written by Sahir Saab and composed by Anil Da is a textbook case of composing songs of melancholy genre.
b. jab kisi ke rukh pe zulfen, aa ke lehraane lagin
hasraten uthh uthh ke, armaanon se takraane lagin
Talat Saab has his own inimitable style in rendering romance. Listen to the complete song penned by DN Madhok and tuned by Vinod, from ‘Anmol Ratan’ (1950).
c. har baat bane afsaana jahaan
har naam pe tohmat aati ho
uthte hi koi masoom nazar
bas ruswaayi ho jaati ho
ae dil aisi mehfil se to
behtar tanhaayi hai
These lines are from the song “Ye Kya Hai Dhang Zamaane Ka” Prem Dhawan in ‘Daak Babu’ (1954) came up with these beautiful verses.
d. koi jab yeh geet sunega
pyaar ka phir woh naam na lega
pyaar kiya to yoonhi jalega
tadpega aur royega
hum to hain pathhar ke insaan
hum to yeh dukh seh gaye
The song “Aise Toote Taar Ke Mere Geet Adhure Reh Gaye” by Shewan Rizvi in Ram Ganguly’s ‘Gawaiyya’ (1954)
e. aane se tere pahle aata hai ek ishaaraa
sooraj se pahle jaise ek roshni ki dhaaraa
hamne wahi ishaaraa dil mein basaa liyaa hai
Rajinder Krishan wrote these lines in the song “Tere Raaste Pe Hamne Ek Ghar Banaa Liya Hai” in the 1954 film ‘Kavi’. Fast paced romantic numbers were not exactly his forte, but Talat Saab comes up with excellent rendition in his indelible voice for this duet with Lata.
f. duniya mujhe dhoondhe,
magar mera nishaan koyi na ho
and
chalna hai sab se door-door
ab caravan koyi na ho
Majrooh Saab’s lyrics for the song “Ae Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal” in the film Aarzoo (1950).
I have taken just a small sample of a few lines of only five lyricists just to showcase the amazing blend of the voice and the thoughts of the poets. Such couplets and verses from various songs of Talat Mahmood are my personal favourites.
Coming to today’s song and celebrating the centenary yearr of the silken voice, I have selected this solo from the film ‘Bindiya’ (1955).
The film has ten songs in all, and two solos in the voice of Talat Saab. One solo – “Hai Dil Mein Milan Ki Aas” is already posted on the blog. The music is composed by Snehal Bhatkar, The ten songs are written by Arsh Haideri, Bharat Vyas and SH Bihari. Both solos of Talat Saab are from the pen of SH Bihari.
On our blog, 401 songs carrying the voice of Talat Sb are showcased. This song is 402th offering of his rendition in the blog.
Talat Mahmood Saab, a hundred years and a perpetual legacy of a voice that is distinctive and a class apart.
Editor’s Note: This Talat Mehmood tribute article post on his birth centenary year is the 18300th post in the blog. With this post, the blog achieves yet another century milestone. We take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continuous support and encouragement. Here is hoping that this musical bandwagon will keep rolling on and on and we will keep reaching many more milestones in the days to come.

This article is the 18200th song post in the blog.

Blog Day : |
5683 | Post No. : | 18200 |
It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is a Chinese saying which teaches us that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
We in the blog have been following this saying without realising it. If one song post is considered one step, then we took our first step on 19 July 2008. Today (8 February 2024) is the 5683rd day for the blog. With this post we take our 18200th step. Or to be more precise, this post is the 18200th post for the blog. The figure of 18200 is quite a mind boggling figure, but we were able to achieve it without putting us under any pressure. We just kept covering a few songs every day, kept celebrating important milestones, kept enjoying the journey, and now, here we are.
Looking back at our journey reveals several important facts about the blog as well as ourselves which may have escaped our attention. One of the observations that we can make is that it has not been a straight line journey. We have evolved and become more enlightened with time. We began on first gear. With time we kept shifting up the gear without realising it. After going in top gear for some time, we slowed down and settled down at a slower pace.
Whatever the pace of the blog during its journey, the blog has been in motion. It does not come to a standstill. At least one song gets covered every day.
This brings us to the second observation. There are quite a few people (regulars and even not so regulars) who look up to the blog first thing in the morning to find out the post(s) of the day. It has become a part of many lives like morning newspaper or morning tea/coffee. Then there are others who looked up to the blog daily for some other purpose. Like for instance there was this lady who opened up the post Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan) every morning and would play the song to her grandkid. One morning, she found the link dead and she urgently posted this message:-
I put on this song every day for my baby grand-daughter…and today it says the video has been removed by the user….could you reinstate it please? It’e been so lovely to hear it…along with the lyrics…I learnt the song from your blogpost!
.
Not just ordinary music lovers, even people associated with music world, such as relatives of the artists, began to post comments. Some of them have become followers of the blog.
Many contributors to the blog discovered their latent talents (of being authors, historians, researchers, interviwers, media persons etc) while contributing to the blog. Our contributors have by now published books, appeared on TV show, hosted/ presented musical programmes, interviewed people connected with HFM, met HFM related celebrities etc. We also discovered that a few of our contributors were actually related to some HFM personalities !
It is interesting to note that majority of the contributors to the blog are not associated with HFM. Most of them are music lovers by hobby who made their livelihood in other fields. A majority of people in India are so busy earning their livelihood that they have no time to pursue their hobbies. That way the contributors of this blog are special who can find quality time to pursue their hobbies.
When one looks at the articles that have appeared in the blog, we find that the articles, in addition to covering songs, have also covered lots and lots of subjects. We have had articles touching subjects like history, mythology, pets, economy, sports, happiness index, war heroes, national builders, social reformers, ordinary people doing extraordinary work, Railways, milk revolution, festivals, etc. Some of these articles were quite indepth and contain information not easily available elsewhere.
During this musical journey, we all have added considerably to our knowledge. We have learnt new facts and realised that many facts that we took as facts have turned out to be incorrect. We have realised that there were many people with same/ similar names and the credits for songs were often given to the wrong person who shared the same name. This reminds me of the joke that “Murphy’s law was not given by Murphy but by another person of the same name.” 🙂
One of the most important side effect of the blog has been that we have got acquainted with each other. Many of us have got to know each other through personal visits. In addition to one to one meetings, we often have get togethers. We have coined a word of our own to describe these meetings. We call them “Gangouts”. We have had such gangouts in various places within India viz Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Lucknow etc. Personally, I must say that this blog has helped me getting acquainted with some wonderful people. Getting to know them and interacting with them has been very enriching and fulfilling experience. The fact that sharing one particular hoppy can help open so many doors is something I never imagined possible when this blog had made its humble beginning in 2008.
These days, the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. Even with this slow pace, we are clocking centuries every alternate month which is quite a decent pace. We reach a century milestone, and then think that the next century is quite a way off. But soon enough the next century arrives and then I begin to wonder what song to cover as the century song.
I have selected a song from “Zingaaro”(1963) as the century song.
“Zingaaro”(1963) was directed by Chandakant for Jay Films, Bombay. This costume drama movie had Jairaj, Jabeen, Tiwari, Bela Bose, Laxmi Chhaaaya, Aruna Irani, Maruti, Mridula, Babu Raje, Poonam Kapoor, Baburao Pahalwan,Radheshyam, Moolchand, Ghani, Julien etc in it.
The blog has covered four songs out of six from the movie and then we stopped covering other songs because they were not available.
In addition to being available, even the details of the remaining two songs were not fully known.
HFGK doesnot mention the name of singers of this song and even gets the mukhda slightly wrong. Record number is not mentioned either. That is how rare this song was till recently.
Here is this rare song from “Zingaaro”(1963). This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhonsle. So we can fill in the blanks in HFGK.
Prem Dhawan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
This song is a nice “chhaayaageet” category of song that is ideal to listen to late at night when most people are asleep. Nowadays people keep awake till late at night, so the song may not have the same effect today, but listening to this song in 1960s at 10 PM must have been a magical experience. It is a forgotten gem of a song.
I take this opportunity to thanks one and all for their continuous support in various form which keeps fueling tis musical bandwagon which as a result is chugging on and on without stopping even for a day. Here is hoping that we keep moving on and on and we keep passing one milestone after another during this journey.
Song-Madhosh ho ke hum to lage dil ko thhaamne (Zingaaro)(1963) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor, Lyrics-Prem Dhawan, MD-S N Tripathi

This article is the 18100th song post in the blog.

Blog Day : |
5619 | Post No. : | 18100 |
Only one song is being covered daily most of the days, with some exceptions. Do our regulars recall the date when the blog saw its last century ? Last blog century, which was song post number 18000 for the blog was posted on 18 september 2023 (Blog day number 5540). Today is 6 December 2023 (blog day number 5619). 79 days have passed since the last blog century. So it is clear that the blog is averaging just over one song a day from that day, thus the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. 🙂
After the last blog century, we have had as many as 61 days when one song was covered in the blog. 16 days had two songs. Two days saw a whopping figure of 3 songs being covered. 🙂 Today (6 december 2023) is not going to be any different. Just one song will get covered today as well. Arithmetically savvy people may add up to realise that (62×1) + (16×2) + (2×3)= 100. Yes, it means that the song being covered today is the next blog century, viz Blog post number 18100. Elementary (math) my dear Watson, is it not ?
Even more elementary is the math that 5619-5540 =79 which means this century is getting notched up in 79 days, which is one of the slowest centuries in the blog.
Apart from the fact that as many as 62 days have been song a day in the blog, the contributor wise posts make interesting reading. Here are the details
| Post by | Number of posts |
|---|---|
| Sadanand Kamath | 30 |
| Arunkumar Deshmukh | 27 |
| Peevesie’s mom | 16 |
| Avinash Scrapwala | 13 |
| Atul | 13 |
| Sudhir Kapur | 1 |
Thus we see that as many as 87 posts out of 100 have been guest posts ! Sadanand Kamath jee is the front runner with a whopping 30 posts, followqing closely by Arunkumar Deshmukh jee with 27 posts ! Peevesie’s mom with 16 and Avinash Scrapwala with 13. Together these four have done bulk of posting work in the blog.
How come my own contribution is so low ? When I look back, I realise that we had cricket world cup during this period. India was doing very well in the world cup. That led lots of Indians to spend lots of time following cricket and gloating about the performance of India. Collective productivity of India as a nation went for a toss. I was among millions of Indians who shirked their own work while following cricket.
India lost only one match in the tournament and that happened to be the final. So, in effect, all the mental investment of millions of Indians on Indian cricket team went down the drain.
While most other Indians continued to follow Indian cricket immediately thereafter (India vs Australia T20 series started immediately after the world cup), I was among very few who resolved not to follow Indian cricket. I have so far stuck to this resolution. I decided to follow Indian chess players instead. Indians chess players gave Indian chess lovers many news to cheer during these same days. Grand swiss chess tournament (at Isle of Man) was held almost concurrently with cricket world cup. In the grand swiss chess tournament, which was one of the strongest chess tournament of all time, Indians took first place in Open (men) and Women category both. Remember, chess is played in all the 199 countries of the world. Only the top ranked chess players get the opportunity to play this tournament ! More than 10 % participants in this tournament were from India. It shows how strong Indian is in this global sport of chess.
I also realised that unlike cricket and other sports, where most fans are only armchair fans, chess followers can play chess as well, even if not at the same high standards as the top chess players of the world. What is more one can get a fairly good idea of one’s playing strength. A chess player’s playing strength is measured in Elo rating. A grandmaster has an Elo rating of 2500 and above, an International master has an Elo rating of 2400 or so. If ordinary chess players want to know their playing strength, they can participate in FIDE (international Chess Federation) recognised chess tournaments. In these chess tournaments, there is a separate category for lower rated players (Elo rating below 2000). If a chess player considers himself good, he can participate in these tournaments. If he is able to defeat some FIDE rated players, he could gain Eo rating. After a few tournaments, if his Elo rating crosses above 1000, FIDE starts displaying his Elo rating on their site.
Other method is playing online in chess sites. Playing these online games enables these players to get online Elo points (different from FIDE Elo points). This gives online chess players some idea about their own chess playing strength.
I am seriously thinking of learning chess. 🙂 I know the rules, but playing it good enough to win a few matches is still not my cup of tea. I have bought a few books, and bought a few chess softwares. Let us see if all that helps me become a decent chess player with an Elo rating of around 1000. 🙂
So, after the world cup debacle, I am now a days spending my time following chess. That explains why the blog continues to be song a day even after the cricket world cup has got over. 🙂
Unlike other occasions of blog century post, this time I had identified the song for the occasion quite some time back. While discussing a song from this movie, I came across this song that bowled me over. It is an archtypical puraani film ka geet, just the type that I used to listen to between 7:30 AM to 8 AM on Radio Ceylon during our school going days. While listening to these songs, I used to wonder why these singers could not sing like Kishore Kumar. 🙂
Those days I had low opinion about such songs. But today those same songs have aged nicely and have become musical gems.
The song under discussion is a forgotten gem from a forgotten movie called “Jiyo Raja”(1949). It was directed by Nari Ghadiali for Wankalwala Productions, Bombay. This “stunt” movie had Agha, Prakash, Shanta Patel, S Azim, Mumtaz Ali, Munchie, Mustafa, Sheikh, Fakeer Mohammad, Ghulam Rasool, Amir Hussain, Muhammad sandow, Ismail,Azam, Kadar etc in it.
“Jiyo Raja”(1949) had ten obscure songs in it. Two of these songs have been covered in the past.
Here is this sweet and lovely song from “Jiyo Raja”(1949). It is sung by Uma Devi and Yashwant Bhatt. Uma Devi aka Tuntun had such a sweet voice. I love her songs more than her comedy that she took up after her singing career was over. Yashwant Bhatt, the male voice is a relative of our own Khyati jee ! Jagdish Bhatt, husband of Khyati jee, shared this information with our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Arunkumar Deshmukh jee:
“…Yashwant Bhatt was my uncle (father’s second youngest brother). He was considered the King of “Prabhatiya” (morning bhajans) by Radio Rajkot. Prabhatiya that he sang were mainly by the poets of Saurashtra, namely Ganga Sati, Paanbhai, Narsi Mehta and few more. Impacted by his passion about singing, his youngest brother Shri Harish Bhatt also became a singer. Harish Bhatt made K. L. Saigal his guru and on Jan 18th of every year would conduct a program in Sanmukhanand Hall as a tribute to his guru and would sing Saigalji’s songs, accompanied by his wife as a female singer for the duets. I remember my uncle (Harish Bhatt) telling us singing few songs in Hindi movies, but not sure though. Gujarati fans on this blog may have heard a famous song on radio, “Phool kahe bhamraa ne bhamro vaat vahe gunjan maa, Madhav kyaay nathi Madhuvan maa….” written by a famous Gujarati kavi, Shri Harindra Dave and sung by Harish Bhatt. ”
So, here is this rare song from “Jiyo Raja”(1949) that has some distant connection with one of our blog regular. 🙂 Lyrics are by Rajjan. Music is composed by Nisaar Bazmi.
With this song, the blog tally reaches 18100. Yet another blog century. Slow century no doubt but a century nevertheless. No nervous ninetees for us.
Let us celebrate this latest milestone with this lovely song. Let this musical bandwagon keep rolling on and on and let us hope that we keep discovering lots and lots of musical nuggets during our journey. I take this opportunity to thank one and all. It is the support, encouragement, contributions of likeminded music lovers that has been fuelling the blog. Tomorrow we take a fresh guard and march towards the next century milestone.

humko na bhool jaanaa
humko na bhool jaanaa
hansne hansaane waale
hansne hansaane waale
bante hain bhole bhaale
dil ko churaane waale
bante hain bhole bhaale
dil ko churaane waale

tujhko jo bhool jaayen aen
sukh chain chhoot jaayen
ho sukh chain chhoot jaayen
tujhko jo bhool jaayen aen
sukh chain chhoot jaayen
ho sukh chain chhoot jaayen
ab tu hi zindagi hai
ab tu hi zindagi hai
dil mein samaane waale
dil mein samaane waale
bante hain bhole bhaale
dil ko churaane waale
bante hain bhole bhaale
dil ko churaane waale
badnaam karne waale ae ae

Pray, what may be the most dear thing in this life?
Something that will never grow old, or stale. Something that will never be lost in life. Something that will only grow fonder with the passage of time. What is that thing?
Memories of Happiness. The most wonderful possession a person can have. The most valuable treasure that will last a lifetime. A treasure that will never diminish. It will only grow with the passage of time. For all the happy moments we experience and we relish, as the moments pass, they become memories. To stay in our treasure chest of memory cells, forever. To be visited and revisited over passing years, the thoughts of the happy times that are in the past now, bring back smile to the lips, a twinkle in the eyes, a fond quickening of the heart beats, as these happy memories flash on our mind’s screen, as and when.
These Memories of Happiness get created when one passes through unforgettable moments of happiness. Especially moments those are enjoyed with people who are near and dear to the heart – dearly loved ones, family and friends. And this basket of Happiness Memories keeps on filling up more and more.
Sometimes rare events happen in life that bring more happiness to the mind. About six weeks ago, I was part of a gathering of very dear friends. It was a rare and opportune get together. And I came away from this meeting with my arms and mind loaded with more Memories of Happiness that I felt I could accommodate in my memory banks. But these memory banks are unconditionally expandable. They create more space to store, the more we bring in to store.
The moments were rare, the gathering was joyful and the memories of that day are divine – well, almost. The occasion was the get together of the Bandwagoneers of the ASAD blog. Many travelled long distances to be present, to participate and to share. All of us keep in touch on a fairly regular, almost daily basis otherwise. But actual face meetings, where one can see and touch and hear the sound live – such occasions have been very rare. For one reason that the entire team is so spread out across the nation that it is not easily feasible to make such meetings happen.
But make it happen this time, we did. It seems that with the passage of time, our options and opportunities to travel are actually becoming more and more limited. I remember Atul ji used to visit Delhi, if not frequently, but often, for his work at the Railways Ministry in Delhi. Likewise, Mahesh ji has earlier traveled to Delhi on work a couple of times. I remember pre-pandemic days when Bakhshish ji and I would be visiting Bombay at least twice a year or so. Some things changed with the pandemic. The necessity to telecommute brought in rapid advancement in networking, and the connectivity requirements brought in many a software that support virtual meetings and conferencing across geographies. The communication patterns changed and transitioned so much that the need for humans to travel out physically has been reduced. And this physical transformation also fuelled a mental transformation, wherein starting from professional work and permeating into personal lives also, people have started preferring remote conferencing.
Ah but, where the matters of heart are involved, where the friends and family need to converse, there is still this urge to be able to meet in person and have a face to face interaction.
And so it finally took shape and happened. For Bakhshish ji and myself, coming to Bombay is such a fulfilling and a rejuvenating experience. There is a large friend circle, and there is an interaction need that it seems only natural that we would like to visit there. Circumstances prohibited us from travelling for many years, but then the urge for meeting friends in person just grew over the past few months. Once we could firm up travel plans, after that the flow of events simply took shape and took over. It is just like one says – you resolve to get something done, and just that resolve makes so many things happen to facilitate desired endeavors and activities.
After a flurry of back and forth messages, going up and down, both on the networks and in terms of actual planning, we finally zeroed in on the schedule and venue. Information was shared with all concerned members of the bandwagon, and it was then just a go.
Friday, the 2nd of June, the meeting time set at 11 am, and we were to converge at dear Arun ji’s place at Four Bungalows. Team members consented to join, and expectations were set up with eagerness. And the icing on the cake was the surprise arrival of some, that added so much more joy.
Bakhshsish ji and I were staying with Subhash Bhai at Matunga. Time to reach Arun ji’s place was 11 am. Subhash Bhai agreed to join us, and so we three travelled to Andheri and on to Versova. It was a kind of unstated decision that since Bakhshish Singh ji was accompanying us, our target to reach Arun ji’s place should be 12 noon. 😀 And so we arrived precisely at 12 noon, give or take a few minutes (as is chalta hai 😉 ).
As we rang the bell, with the expectation to see a round bespectacled face with a big smile, the opening turned into a huge pleasant surprise. We did see a bespectacled face welcoming us with a beaming smile, albeit this face belonged to Nalini ji. And that was the big happy surprise because in earlier communications, she had expressed inability to join and had declined the invite. And this big happy surprise set the ball rolling for the many hours of togetherness that followed.
Entering the apartment, we found practically all expected attendees to be present. There was a lot of cheer and handshakes and hugs and back thumping all around. It is always such a pleasure to meet Arun ji, for a there is a special feeling in my heart for him. When I meet him, I am always so comforted to see his smiling face and smiling eyes above the thick bushy moustache that I immediately have to hug him. So after the joyful Nalini ji surprise to start with, I had the hug time with Arun ji, and then we proceed into the apartment.
Folks that were already present – Sadnand ji, Nitin ji, Avinash ji. And Satish ji. It is always such a pleasure to meet Sadanand ji with a big smile on his face, always ready with a crack to make you laugh. Nitin ji is a dear person to meet as always. And then the first time face meeting with Avinash ji. Avinash ji was supposed to have joined one of our earliest gangouts in Bombay, but inclement weather kept him confined that time, and he could not travel. But make it he did, this time. In fact he had arrived the previous evening and had stayed with Arun ji.
I mentioned these three bandwagoneers together, for the reason that all three have faces that are almost spherical with partial balding already taking roots on the pate. And then I come to Satish ji. Dear dear Satish ji, a person that I have been so eagerly looking forward to meet. In fact, I was also very much wanting to and almost half expecting to see Pradeep Shetty ji also. Ah but yes, he did make a virtual appearance later in the proceedings. I will come to that.
There is a special bonding I feel with these two gentlemen, whom I have not met in person before. But both are very special for me, in that there is a daily very special greetings exchange with these two very early in the mornings. The timing and connect is so synchronized and so definite like the sunrise itself, that at some earlier time, I mistakenly addressed them by the other person’s name. well, it has not happened now of late. And so, yes, meeting with Satish ji was such a special thing for me that day.
The quorum is always complete with the arrival of Bakhshish Singh ji (for obvious reasons) no matter how many are present or will join. And so we settled down and the conversations flowed. We were gathered that day with an absence of any agenda – a conscious decision that Arun ji had discussed earlier. And so we were there, and waiting now for the other expected joinees.
We were waiting for three very special people to come. The most important – Atul ji, our fearless leader. He had informed earlier that his flight was being rescheduled by the airline and he was expected almost an hour or so later than his earlier communicated schedule. So he was the next to arrive, reaching directly from the airport.
Another person who has a very special place in my heart. All for the manner in which he manages all the activities of the blog. Seems to completely indefatigable and tireless, with such an unfaltering focus on the continued success of the blog. And the self evident performance is there for all to see. In an age and time of continuing transformations of activities and fortunes of online endeavors, ASAD stands out as a bright beacon that I daresay, is an envy of many other bloggers. We shall soon be celebrating the 15th anniversary of sustained activity, which could well be a celebrated record in comparison to similar online efforts. And we continue to merrily chug along and keep conquering newer and higher milestones. All the due credit goes to Atul ji and his tireless stewardship of this musical bandwagon. It is an honor to be associated with him and this blog.
Personally, I had a agenda of my own, to address two items related to the blog. But for that I needed to have a go ahead from Atul ji. So as soon as he came in, and after the meetings and greetings, I requested a separate five minutes from him, and we conversed in the adjoining room. I explained to him what was on my mind, and he readily agreed. I said want to talk about this with the group, with his permission, and he said yes once again. I will mention these items little later in this write up.
Now we were waiting for Peevesie and Peevesie’s Hubby. In real life, it is Vaidehi and Ishan. Vaidehi had been in communication with her mom since morning. They were both attending some important work related discussions, and had promised to join after that. Only that their timing kept on getting delayed. Then Arun ji suggested that we should take lunch, and they can join as soon as they arrive. As usual, I was requested to begin and to continue holding the fort (I mean the plate) till their arrival and so give them company too. A matter after my own heart so I readily accepted the honor.
So the lunch was served. Arun ji mentioned the great help that had been provided by Nalini ji, in sorting out the menu, and Avinash ji, in helping to manage the logistics. Due to other family commitments that were in conflict that day, the Event Management Company of Arun ji’s daughters, was not able to participate. But nonetheless, the lunch arrangement was well planned, well laid out and a roaring success. I can definitely say that from my perspective. 😀 The innovative idea of Nalini ji to suggest and make arrangement for Aam Ras, was a definite high point of the lunch.
And so the lunch proceedings happened. I held on to my plate and after some wait, the expected film couple arrived. The first order of the agenda after their arrival and intros and greetings, was to briefly celebrate Arun ji’s upcoming birthday, which was then just a week or so ahead. Vaidehi had brought a little gift and flowers, and we all sang the Happy Birthday song for the birthday boy.
Lunch proceedings continued with yours truly holding the fort and giving company to the newest addition to the gathering.
Once we settled down after lunch, and with permission from Atul ji, I asked for attention of the gathering for my agenda items. The first item was presenting two hard disks to the group, one to Atul ji, and one to Arun ji to keep as a sharing item with folks in Bombay. I explained to the gathering about the contents of these disks. Our blog had recently complete 17,800 posts. The hard disks contained ALL the 18,000 plus songs that have been posted on our blog since initiation. The songs are arranged in three ways – serially by post number, by film name, and by year and film name, for ease of access. This collection is important since the on the blog, all the songs may not be always available, as the online links keep on changing over time.
Then I proceeded to talk about my second agenda item. This was concerned with some feedback about the blog that I had received and I wanted to share with all group members. So I told the gathered members, the background and the details.
Earlier in the year, in the month of February, an exhibition had been arranged in Delhi by a friend, Ravikant ji. Ravikant ji is an Associate Professor at CSDS (Center for Study of Developing Societies) in Delhi. His main area of research interest is art and culture, which includes films and music. In Delhi, we are actively associated in working together in this area. He had organized an exhibition in February (21-28) titled ‘Intermediations’. The focus of this exhibition was the interplay of the film medium with the print medium and the broadcast medium. The tag line for this exhibition was ‘Panna, Parda, Baaja’, referring to print media, cinema and radio. The main theme of this exhibition was archiving. Every day in the afternoon/evening we had talks and panel discussions. I too was invited to be on the panel on one of the days. And I had talked about the archiving of Hindi film music from the perspective of our blog. I had described how our blog was set up, how it is sustained, and what are our singular achievements. I specifically mentioned how Atul ji set up this activity, and the manner in which it is being sustained. I also told the audience about Arun ji, about his notebooks, and his continued effort to research and gather information related to people and films. All this in recognition the archiving objective of this major entertainment media in our country.
Ravikant ji had insisted that I should attend all sessions. One significant outcome of this interaction was that I met with a lot of people for the first time. People who are managing other blogs and archives, people who are writers and research workers in related fields, people who are anchors and presenters on AIR and other music shows etc. It was very exhilarating experience to be able to meet so many likeminded people all at once.
And the fun part of my introductions with these people – no one knew me of course, by name. But when I mentioned that I am associated with AtulSongADay blog, my goodness, their reactions were unbelievable. Most people knew of our blog. Most people continuously use our blog as a reference archive. Most people are in awe about the manner in which this blog is scaling newer and newer heights. Everyone greatly praised our effort, especially our team work once I mentioned that this is a group working together. People were not familiar with specific names, but some people did mention both Atul ji and Arun ji by name.
So this was a very uplifting and satisfying experience for me. But then, there was also some feedback that some friends mentioned. Number one – that it appeared that we were posting more to capture some number milestone, at the cost of content of the posts. And number two – that of late, the readers find very little discussion about the songs themselves. I expressed this feedback and the sentiment to the present group members and there was a brief discussion on this topic.
I think these are important inputs for all of us. It seems that the people who are visiting the blog are looking for more content, that simply getting the demographic info about the song and the film. I found it important enough to bring this feedback with me to this gathering of our group. I had first mentioned this to Atul ji in my brief one-on-one conversation with him, and then with his approval I shared with the rest of the team.
All this while, as the birthday song was being sung, as the hard disk was being presented, as the conversations were in progress, a lot of photographs were taken of the day’s proceedings. Especially Ishan, who is an expert with camera, captured a lot of images. As did many of us with our phone cameras.
As the afternoon moved on, Vaidehi and Ishan excused themselves and took leave, as they had more meetings to attend related to their work. It is such a pleasure always to meet the youngest member of the group. And this time, it was in accompaniment with interest earned – the latest addition in form of Ishan. A thorough gentleman and a very friendly person – it was a real pleasure to be introduced to him. Goodbyes were made with Vaidehi promising to return to the return to blog with more of her pen(wo)manship.
Shortly thereafter Satish ji announced that it was time for his flight and that his cab was arriving in a few minutes. There were more handshakes and hugs as he stood up to depart. A quiet person, with such a pleasant smile and an affable presence, it seems so comforting to be in his company. I hope that we plan to meet again very soon.
Then Atul ji announced that his flight time was at hand, and that his daughter had booked a cab for him to go to the airport. So with due goodbyes and handshakes etc. Atul ji departed for the airport. A wonderful day of meeting great friends was now coming to a close. The remaining group members, we talked for some more time. As these conversations were going on, a video phone call came. It was Mahesh ji calling in to connect into the group, and with him, Pradeep Shetty ji also was there. I have mentioned earlier about wanting to meet Pradeep ji. And so this call was a heaven sent answer to my thoughts. The network was creating difficulty but still we were able to exchange greetings and have a live conversation – one step further from exchanging morning greetings.
Evening was closing in, and we decided to call it a day. There still is so much to talk about and share. Music has this effect on people, and that is the glue that keeps this group together. And the heart expressed the desire that these meetings should happen more often. There already has been a big gap due to other circumstances.
It was a wonderful day of meeting so many good friends all under one roof. As we were doing the good byes for the day, my mind working over the day’s happy proceedings, coined the a new realization. That we were departing from Arun ji’s home with a wonderful ton of Memories – of Happiness. Gosh, what a memorable day it had been, spent in the company of so many dear friends one continuously communicates with on a daily basis, and today it was as if an assembly designed and crafted in heavens.
And these memories are now forever tucked into our mind’s storage, to be revisited as and when the mind felt it to be. A day that will never be forgotten. Rather to put it straight – a day that is forever now one of my most wonderful Memories of Happiness.
The song I present today is from the 1966 film ‘Biwi Aur Makaan’. The lyrics are by Gulzar and music is from the mind of Hemant Kumar. The singing voices are those of Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Balbir and Ghulam Mohammed. On screen, the song is picturized on a group of ‘जिगरी दोस्त’ whose motto is ‘all for one, and one for all’. The group consists of Mehmood, Biswajit, Keshto Mukherjee, Ashish Kumar and Ajit Chatterji. The story line deals with the problem of young unmarried men trying to get rental accommodation in a world where the landlords prfer to rent out premises to married couples only. The outcome of the scheming brain of Pande (Mehmood) is a hilarious set of events that involves an artificial gender change for two of the men.
The film is produced under the banner of Geetanjali Films Bombay and is directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. This song tells of the wonderful value of friendship – that there are no obligations between true friends. A ha, a topic that I want to write about more in detail, but I think I should stop and not test the patience of readers any more.
A wonderful ode to friendship – the kind of friendship and camaraderie that is existing among the member of our musical bandwagon.
This song, and this write up – dedicated to our entire group – with everlasting Memories of Happiness.
Amen

Lyrics
(Based on Audio)
yaar kisan ye to hadd ho gayi
yaaron ki to gat ho gayi
sirf ehsaan hi baaki reh gaye
dosti yaari radd ho gayi
pyaar mein duniyadarri kaisi
muft ki cheez nagad ho gayi
chhee chhee yaar ki ye pehchaan
dosti mein kaisa ehsaan
jab dosti hoti hai to . . . .(deep breath)
ehsaa..aan nahin hota
jab dosti hoti hai

ehsaan nahin hota
jab dosti hoti hai
jab dosti hoti hai
to dosti hoti hai
aur doston mein koi
ehsaan nahin hota
jab dosti hoti hai
arey jal bin tadpat machhli jaise
nal bin tadpat paani
jal bin tadpat machhli jaise

This post is the 17700th song post for the blog.
|
Blog Day : |
5394 | Post No. : | 17700 |
Yesterday (24 April 2023), I was on an overdrive, as far as posting of articles in the blog was concerned. I ended up posting as many as eight articles on that day. Posting eight articles in a day was fairly common in the blog one decade ago. For instance, during april 2013, eight articles were covered on ten days and nine articles were covered on another four days. That year saw eight songs posted on as many as 36 days (10% of the days in that year). But things are different now a days. During the last seven years, we have touched this figure of eight songs in a day only four times !
Sudhir Jee noticed this “unusual” flurry of activity and enquired whether I was targetting century post the next day. Indeed that was my target. Earlier in the month, I was maintaining an average of about 3.3 songs per day. That would have led to Blog century getting reached on 28 April 2023 and century of songs for the month on 30 April 2023. But I thought that leaving things that late was not advisable. Leaving things till the last moment can often lead to failure to reach the target due to unforeseen circumstances that may suddenly crop up. Moreover, doing the bare minimum was making things routine and boring. Most articles by me were becoming mere formalities to just keep things going by avoiding DOT days and ensuring blog centuries at the rate of one century per month. Where were articles by me that gave me creative satisfaction and earned appreciation from learned regulars and others in the past ? It is time I got my creative juices flowing again instead of just doing routine work. I have so many topics in mind where I could write articles that readers may find interesting and hopefully useful.
Coming to the query from Sudhir Jee, I informed him that that yes, I wanted to complete the blog century the next day. And no I had no plans lined up for the century post. We vaguely discussed if any anniversaries are coming or any artist is reaching his century. One artist is reaching his century. But I thought that the century post should contain a song more special than that.
I recalled that may years ago I had discovered several rare songs and I had saved them as text files under headings like “rare”, “Rarer”, “rarest”, “rarest of rarest” etc. I went through those lists. I found that quite a few of those songs have since been covered in the blog. Some of them by me, some by others. Some of them as special posts such as century posts, some of them as just routine posts.
Finally I have chosen a “rarest of rarest” category of song. On checking up, I realised that one song from this movie has already been covered. But thankfully the song that I had picked for this occasion was not that song. 🙂
I listened to the song again. I liked the song. It was a cheerful peppy song, and not a sad melancholic song that we tended to have in plenty those days.
This song is sung by Rafi. Surjeet Sethi is the lyricist. S Mohinder is the music director.
The only thing known about this movie is that it was produced by SS Movie makers and that it had seven plus songs issed under record numbers GE 8672 to GE 8675.
Incidentally when I “discovered” this song many years ago, the lyricist name was mentioned as Sujit Sinha. 🙂 Sadanand Kamath jee, who posted the other song from this movie in the past, had done lots of research on this movie and he had gave facts and figures that I could use in this post. HFGK mentions this song as from an unreleased movie of 1940s called “Geet aur Aansoo”. Sadanand Kamath jee has deduced that this song is from the year 1947 because the lyricist Surjeet Singh and music director S Mohinder first met in 1947 and this appears to be their first collaboration as well as their debut movie in Hindi movies.. This movie may have been unrealesed but its seven songs were planned and recorded in 1947. Sadanand Kamath jee also finds Rafi’s voice in this movie resembling his voice in 1947, such as in the movie “Jugnu”(1947). So all these corcumstancial evidences suggests that this movie and song are from 1947.
This movie does not figure in the filmographies of S Mohinder and Surjeet Sethi. This song is mentioned in HFGK, but singer name is not mentioned there. This song does not figure in the excel sheet listing Rafi songs. That is how rare this song is. For many listeners, this may be the first time they will be listening to this song. A great cheerful Rafi song it is. This song is worthy of being discussed as the blog post number 17700, viz 177th century post for the blog.
This century was reached in 28 days. Hopefully we will be able to reduce the number of days for a century even further in coming months, though I doubt we may touch the heady days of yore when we routinely had centuries in 16 days and less.
PS- When I got to read the post by Sudhir jee posted just prior to this post, that served as a great source of motivation. Yes, that is the kind of articles one needs to write to catch the readers’s attention and keep them mesmerised. So I hope to write at least some posts like that in the days to come. 🙂
I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support in helping this musical bandwagon keep going on and on. Hopefully this bandwagon will keep rolling, perhaps even get second wind, third wind etc and thereby pick speed. We still have a long long way to go in our musical journey and we have yet to many forgotten gems to discover. And the journey resumes with a renewerd vigour and fresh guard as early as tomorrow. 🙂

This song is the song post number 17600 of the blog

Blog Day : |
5366 | Post No. : | 17600 | Movie Count : |
4731 |
What do people do when new year begins ? They make new year resolutions. 🙂
When the year 2023 began, we too made some new year resolutions for the blog. 🙂
Unlike the fate of most such resolutions, we have managed to stick to our new year resolutions thus far.
Following were these resolutions:-
(1) Reach one Blog century every month.
(2) Post at least 100 songs every calendar month.
We are into the third month of the year 2023. We achieved these targets in January and february of the year:-.
| Month | Date on which blog century was reached | Number of posts in the month |
|---|---|---|
| January 2023 | 28 January 2023 | 106 |
| February 2023 | 25 February 2023 | 100 |
We are now onto march 2023. When the previous day ended, the song count was 17597. So today on 28 march 2023, three songs were required to be posted to reach the song post mark of 17600 .
As is my wont these days, I was not sure till the last moment what song to be used as the century song for the blog. For quite some time, I considered using 100th song post of Aarzoo Lucknowi as the blog century post. But I could not locate a suitable song befitting the occasion. Nevertheless, I decided that the Aarzoo Lucknowi century song would be one of the three songs to be covered on the day.
That gave me another idea. Aarzoo Lucknowi post is a century post. The blog century post is a century post. The song between these songs should be a century post as well. I had remembered that the tally for songs from the year 1970 was very close to 400 marks. I hoped that the figure had not touched 400. I checked up and I was relieved to know that figure was at 399. Just what the doctor ordered. 🙂
But then all of a sudden I found a contribution in my e mail. It was a post for the remembrance anniversary that fell today itself. But the song was from some other year. So I asked the contributor (our ever enthusiastic contributor Avinash Scrapwala) to replace the song with a song from 1970. He promptly changed the writeup and the song. So the plan of posting three century posts stayed on track. 🙂
With song posts number 17598 and 17599 out of the way, it is time for the song post number 17600. What song to post ?
I recalled that Prakashchandra had recently sent the lyrics of a song. While most of his contributions are Blog Ten Year Challenge contributions these days, he had sent this song to be used at a suitable occasion. He had described this song as a rare song. If he considers a song as rare then the song must be rare indeed. And that is what we often look for in a blog century post.
In addition to rarity, the song should be a nice song to listen to. This is a song that few people may have heard before, because this song is meant to be used in a movie that did not even get made and was shelved. But not before a few songs meant for the movie were recorded !
According to HFGK, this song is from a shelved movie called ‘Baghaawat’ (1964). It was meant to be a production of Friends Film Corporation, Bombay. Three songs from this movie were recorded according to HFGK.
The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and female chorus. Music director is Sardar Singh. He is an unknown entity, but we do have one song composition from him in the blog – “Khud b Khud Ishq Ka Izhaar Hua Jaata Hai“, a song from the 1966 film ‘Professor Aur Jaadugar’. It is the lyricist who is totally unknown. He is called Suroor Lucknowi. Unlike Aarzoo Lucknowi, whose 100th song as a lyricist was covered earlier in the day, this lyricist Suroor Lucknowi seemingly vanished out in thin air after penning this song. This is how rare and special this song is.
Here is this special song from a shelved and therefore unreleased movie called ‘Baghaawat’ (1964). The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and chorus. Suroor Lucknowi is the lyricist. Sardar Singh is the music composer. All three S !
I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support and encouragement. That support and encouragement is the fuel that has kept this musical bandwagon going for more than 14 years. Here is hoping that we will continue to see many more blog centuries and other milestones as we keep exploring as yet unexplored songs. There is little doubt in our mind that this musical journey is going to be as enjoyable as it has so far been.

छाई हुई बहारें
(आ हा)
क्यों गीत गा रही हैं

फूलों की ये कतारें
क्यों मुस्कुरा रही हैं
हाँ हाँ तेरा दिल जो ले गया है
उसको बुला रही हैं
हाँ हाँ तेरा दिल जो ले गया है

छाई हुई बहारें..एं..एं
कैसा था वो दीवाना
खुद से हुआ बेगाना
खुद से हुआ बेगाना
मिलते ही हाए नज़रें
दिल हो गया निशाना
दिल हो गया निशाना
कह दो ना अब हमें वो
नज़रों के तीर मारे

This article is the 17500th song post for the blog.

Blog Day : |
5335 | Post No. : | 17500 | Movie Count : |
4709 |
28 january 2023 saw song post number 17400 appearing on the blog. Today (25 february 2023) finds us reaching song post number 17500 on the blog.
Yes, this post is the 175th century post for the blog. It has come in 28 days, which equals the number of days taken for the previous century. So this year 2023 has seen two centuries, both clocked in 28 days apiece. It is a vast improvement over the average days taken for the blog centuries of last few years. We are still far off from the all time record of a century in 11 days (achieved in 2011) but things are looking up as far as Blog daily strike rate is concerned.
The blog century posts now a days are decided at the last moment. The previous century post number 17400 was decided at the last moment, on the very day on which the song was covered. This song post number 17500 is no different.
Song post number 17400 was a duet song. So is the case for this song post number 17500. But that is the only similarity between the two century posts.
Post number 17400 was a duet sung by two obscure singers. That was the only duet sung by the singers in Hindi movies. The singers in the duet song of this post number 17500 are both legends in Hindi playback singing.
This song under discussion in this post is sung by Rafi and Shamshad Begam.
Why them and no one else ? There are good reasons for that.
As things stand in HFM, there have been only eight pair of singers in the Golden era of HFM who have sung over hundred duets. Seven pair of such singers have already completed their centuries in the blog. Rafi and Shamshad Begam were the only pair who had not reached their century of duet songs in the blog. With this post, they join the list and the list gets completed.
Here is the list of centurion duet singers in HFM during the golden era of HFM :-
| Singing pair | Duet Songs in the blog | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Rafi-Asha Bhonsle | 561 | This pair holds the Record for highest number of duet songs |
| Rafi-Lata | 349 | Second highest number of duets. Almost all their duets covered in the blog |
| Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle | 268 | |
| Kishore Kumar-Lata | 222 | |
| Mukesh-Lata | 143 | |
| Rafi-Geeta Dutt | 113 | |
| Rafi-Suman Kalyanpur | 108 | |
| Shamshad Begam-Rafi | 100 | They reach 100 duets with this post |
If one feels that there may be other pairs who may join the list in future, that is not the case. Among singers who were active during the golden era, the next duo with highest number of duets is Manna Dey-Lata Mangeshkar with 75. This figure represents their sum total of duets sung in HFM. All of them are already represented in the blog ! Likewise all duets sung by Talat Mehmood-Lata Mangeshkar (61) are already represented in the blog.
The song under discussion is from an obscure movie called “Noor e Yaman”(1956) also alternatively titled “Hatimtai Ka Beta”. This C grade movie was directed by Akkoo. The movie had Chitra, Juliaan, Ridkoo, Krishna Kumari, Heera Saawant, Sardar Mansoor, Ismail, Munshi Munakka, Bismillah, Mitthoo Mian, M. K. Hasan, Mohammed Ali, Mohammed Sandow, Abdulla, Korega, Yadav, Sukumar, Ratan Kumar, Raju, Sattar, Maqbool, Yusuf Azad Qawwal, Samar Roy, Habeeb, Shaikh Hassan, Babu Raaje, Adeeb, Wazir Mohammed Khan etc in it.
The movie had nine songs in it. They were sung by five singers, viz Shewan Rizvi, Yusuf Azad Qawwal, Shamshad Begum, Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle. These nine songs were penned by three lyricists viz Akhtar Romani, Sartaj Romani and Raja Mehndi Ali Khan.
The movie is making its debut in the blog with this song. This movie becomes the 110th movie of 1956 to find representation in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi and Shamshad Begam. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Bulo C Rani is the music director.
This song, an obscure song from an obscure movie, sounds like a forgotten gem. It is a song that deserves to be better known among music lovers.
Another blog century achieved. Time to take a fresh guard.
I take this opportunity to thank one and all who are fuelling the musical bandwagon in various ways and are helping it to reach newer and newer destinations with each passing days. May this bandwagon notch many more centuries and see many more interesting records en route.
Song-Jab teri nazar ke teer chale (Noor e Yaman)aka Hatimtai Ka Beta(1956) Singers-Rafi, Shamshad Begam, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-Bulo C Rani
Lyrics
jab teri nazar ke teer chale
kuchh idhar gaye

kuchh idhar gaye

jaao jee jaao jee
teeron ko dhoondh laao jee
laao jee laao jee laao jee
ishq mein tere ho gaye hum langde
na jungle mein bhagaao jee
jaao jee jaao jee jaao jee
kyun teer hamaare bikhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
kuch idhar gaye
kuchh udhar gaye
mere pyaar bhare dil per na lage
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
sab kidhar gaye
poochho jee jaa kar inka pata
phoolon se bahaaron se nazaaron se
aabsaaron se gulzaron se
bas bas bas bas bas bas bas
poocha hai maine inka pata
arre
teri aankhon ke sitaaron se
rukhsaaron se
beemaaron se
bekaaron se lohaaron se
awaaron se ghamkhaaron se banjaaron se lakadhaaron se
lakadhaa aa aa aa aaro se
na jaane wo kidhar gaye

This article is the 17400th song post for the blog.

Blog Day : |
5307 | Post No. : | 17400 |
That moment is here again with us. The moment when we reach a century of songs in the blog and post a special song to mark the occasion.
What is so special, one may ask. We already have 173 such occasions in the blog.
Indeed we had 173 such occasions and this is the 174th century for the blog.
Still, I find this century somewhat different vis a vis other centuries in general, and with other recent centuries in particular.
If we look at the rate at which we have been clocked our centuries, here is what we observe
| Time taken for century | Number of occasions | Date of First occasion (century number) | Date of final occasion (Century number) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| upto twenty days (Fast centuries) | 65 | 5 January 2009 (5th century) | 31 January 2015 (108th century) | Fastest century in 11 days- 46th century on 9 september 2011) |
| from 21 to 40 days (Medium Fast centuries) | 68 | 25 November 2008 (3rd century) | 21 September 2020 (160th century) | |
| from 41 to 60 days (Slow centuries) | 26 | 5 November 2008 (2nd century) | 27 March 2022 (169th century) | |
| from 61 to 80 days (Very Slow centuries) | 14 | 17 September 2008 (1st century) | 31 December 2022 (173rd century) | Slowest century in 77 days- 170th century on 12 June 2022 |
| Total | 173 |
We can observe that the last time we had a fast century (in 20 days or less) was on 31 January 2015, viz 8 years ago ! Even our last medium fast century (scored between 21 to 40 days) was more than two years ago. In other words, the centuries that we are scoring continuously for more than two years are all slow centuries that are taking between 41 to 77 days.
This century, which is achieved in 28 days becomes the fastest century in the blog since 23 march 2018, when century number 142 was scored in 26 days.
In addition, we achieve 100 posts in a month in a long long time. The last time it was achieved was in March 2018 (113 posts). Hopefully, this century will be just the shift in momentum and the shot in the arm for this blog that was badly overdue.
One can notice that majority of posts in this latest century are guest posts. Bulk of guest posts are by one single overenthusiastic contributor Avinash Scrapwala who contribured a whopping 53 posts out of 100 ! One fellow contributor jokingly commented that he has set up a post writing factory. 😄
There are 22 other guest posts as well. That makes it 75 guest posts out of 100 ! My own contributions were mainly in the form of Blog Ten Year Challenge posts.
As many as 29 posts introduced new movies to the blog ! Five movies got YIPPEED during this century. 14 posts were Blog Ten Year Challenge posts. Lyrics for most of these songs were sent by Prakashchandra.
As we add songs, the background work needed to manage them has increased considerably. That is one major reason that has prevented me to post more of my articles. Articles where I discuss some topics of interest have also dried up. Hopefully I will be able to restore them soon.
In all this discussion, I was almost forgetting about the song. It is a song that I had discovered a while back and I had earmarked it for some special occasion. Then I forgot all about this song. When Prakashchandra sent this song as blog Ten Year Challenge then I got reacquinted with this song. I resisted the temptation to post this song as part of Blog Ten Year Challenge.
This song is a joie de vivre genre of song that is bound to cheer up the listeners. This song is not by well known artists. Rather, this song is acreation of unknown artists. The singer is totally unknown,. She recently made her debut in the blog when another song from this movie was taken up as part of Blog Ten Year Challenge.
The music director and lyricists are also less known. That is how rare this song and its details are.
This song is from “Bulbul”(1951). This obscure movie was directed by A Rashid for Hindustan Productions, Bombay. This movie had Majnu, Rukhsaana, Dilaawar, Sarla Devi, Jyotsna, Maqbool, Mannan, Sheikh etc in it.
“Bulbul”(1951) had five songs in it. Three songs have been covered in the blog so far. This fourth song from “Bulbul”(1951) is sung by Suman Purohit, a singer about whom I know nothing. For that matter even the lyricist A Rashid is an unknown name. Music is composed by K S Ragi who is relatively better known since we had had a few of his compositions already represented in the blog.
Here is this wonderful song from “Bulbul”(1951). Rare it may be, but it has the effect of cheering up the listener every time one listens to it. It is a forgotten gem created by forgotten artists.
This post is the ninth post of thed day. That is yet another record for the blog for quite some time. The last time nine songs were covered in one day was on 31 july 2020. It is only the 43rdday (out of 5307 days) that nine songs have been posted in the blog. The record for a day is 13, however.
The lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
This year has begun well for the blog. Let us hope that we sustain this momentum throuyghout the year.
I take this opportunity to thank all our contributors, visitors, well wishers and music lovers who keep supporting this blog in one way or the other and keep providing the fuel to drive this musical bandwagon.

This is the 17300th post on this blog.
|
Blog Day : |
5279 | Post No. : | 17300 |
What is going on today? I am sure this question is worrying the minds of quite a few if not many or all regulars of this blog. Atul ji seems to be in a big hurry today. Seven posts already since his first good morning call at 5 am. Aha, so getting to the century number it seems. Yeah, ok, that’s it, he wants to complete the century, and make the century post today. But why? What is the tearing need? Is there a birthday not known to anybody? Is it a special day for someone on the bandwagon or in the industry? The anniversary page has no listing for today. ये क्या हो रहा है? क्या चल रहा है?
So yes, a mystery has been created by today’s blog activism. Already 7 songs on the board, and of course, the century strike is still to come. Well, here now. 😀
Ok so let me reveal the story in the background. This mystery scramble started less than 24 hours ago. About 5 days back, Atul ji and I exchanged some messages and decided that this century milestone will be an Asha Bhosle special. Some very interesting numbers are co-inciding. So we agreed to search and locate some special and rare song for this event. It took me about day to zero in on the song. I told Atul ji about it, and he agreed. So we planned to make the century post with this song.
So far, we were not in a scramble. Taking it easy, one or two posts a day, maybe get to the century milestone by 5th Jan or so. That suddenly changed last evening. Around 6.40, I got a message from Atul ji. He asked me whether we can make the century post tomorrow, i.e. today, 31st December. And he also shared the reason. As soon as I heard that, I was excited too. We agreed for the scramble, and the scramble happened.
Okay, okay – sorry for the long prelude. I will explain. First, the Asha Bhosle angle. We are coinciding two century milestones for her with this post. I wonder if the regulars have noticed that we have not be posting any Asha Bhosle songs for the past few days. Well, the reason is that Asha ji is at 2999th song on this blog, before this one. So this becomes her 3000th song being showcased here.
Ah, but wait, there is more. Asha ji is also at 1499th solo song with us. So this is now her 1500th solo on the blog. That makes today’s post a dual century milestone for her.
Before her, the two stalwart singers who have crossed these milestones are of course Lata ji and Rafi Sb. Lata ji is currently at 3829 songs overall, and 2479 solos. Rafi sb is at the second place with 3222 songs overall and 1511 solos.
Now coming to the date, and the reason for the scramble. This is a piece of co-incidental information that Atul ji dug out yesterday. Most likely he was looking at the ten year challenge data for the BTYC 2022 series. So all it takes to guess this angle is to look at the songs posted ten years ago on 31st December 1912. The last song of that day, the New Year’s Eve of 2012, was the 7300th song on the blog. And so now, I am sure the numbers will fall in place in the minds.
Exactly ten years ago, were exactly ten thousand songs before this post. Ten years – ten thousand songs, that is a very telling achievement. Just for comparison, let’s see what came before that. From 19th July, 2008 to 31st December 2012, it is a few days less than 4 and a half years. In that period, we clocked 7300 posts. OK, so the comparison is nowhere balanced. The first 4.5 years come at an average of 1622 songs per year. And the next ten years come at an average if 1000 songs per year. That is quite a difference, which portrays the drop in the pace of posting over the years.
But in my mind, there is another very crucial observation to be made. Just in the fact of sustenance. In the known world of online blogging and entertainment and music, our blog most likely stands out as being the most consistent, the most sustained and the most continuing presence online – among the blogs that are run and managed by an individual or a small group. Yes there are other blogs that continue to thrive and continue to be regular, but they are mostly with corporate or external support and sponsorship. I am sure we all are aware of many blogs related to Indian Cinema and Hindi film songs, that we have visited over the years, but then with time, majority of them have lost steam, or slowed down. There is definitely a fatigue factor associated with this activity too. Sustaining the effort to continue is a big factor. And then, to ensure this sustenance on a day to day basis – I am confident to claim that our blog is without a peer across the wide internet.
So that is the story behind the eight posts that have been pulled together at a scramble within less than 24 hours.
Another coincidence I would like to mention here. Asha ji also figures in the 7300th post ten years ago. The song in that post is “Mohabbat Ka Haath Jawaani Ka Palla” from the 1958 film ‘Howrah Bridge’. The song is a duet by Rafi Sb and Asha ji. As noted in that post, that was the 300th duet song of this pair. Before this we were not noting and announcing century milestones for duet songs. It started with the post 7300.
And so, Asha ji then a centurion, and today too, Asha ji is a centurion.
Coming to the song in this post today. When Atul ji had sent me a query about some very special song of Asha ji for this milestone post, my mind went to this song, and for some very good reasons.
The song itself is very obscure and a rare discovery. As are many of the creations of the music director Sajjad Husain. Yes, the music for today’s song is from the mind of this genius music director, who was not given his due by the industry. The reasons can be discussed and debated, but the quality and the composition of his music cannot be. Par excellence is what comes to mind when we talk of this maverick music director.
The film is ‘Mera Shikar’ from 1973. After his 1963 venture with ‘Rustom Sohrab’, he was lost in the mists of forgotten anonymity for all of ten years. Then we see his name in this obscure and less heard of film that comes in 1973. An then it also disappears without a splash. Other than the fact that it is recorded in the Censor Board registers, and on account of that, it also appears in the Geet Kosh, no one had heard of or mentioned this film for many decades. With the coming of the internet, as access to many obscure things became easier, the aficionados started searching for lost and obscure songs of lesser heard music directors and singers and lyricists.
The difficulty with this film is that a. no gramophone records at all were made and b. the film itself is not available.
The songs of this film were presumed lost for a long time. And then they were discovered. On a spool tape. So now at least the songs are available, albeit it has been a difficult and anonymous journey.
A total of three songs are listed and identified for this film. One of the songs, in the voice of Rafi Sb, is already showcased on our blog – “Teri Mehfil Mein Aaye Hain”. This song was posted more than eleven years ago on 17th June, 2011. The other two songs have not become available online, although they have been with private collectors for some time now. I first got these songs from my dear friend Girdhari Lal ji of Jodhpur. Then later, these songs also came to me once again thru another dear friend, Zafar Shah of Delhi. When the discussion for this post started, and my mind came to this song, I checked with Zafar Bhai, and he indicated that this song is already uploaded by him on his YouTube channel about six months ago. And so we have this song now available, to be played today as the 3000th song and 1500th solo song of Asha ji.
A vintage Sajjad creation, this song has such an endearing and yet intriguing melody. The verse lines are short and Sajjad Sb has knitted them into his music very beautifully. When we agreed to do this song for this post, I have since then heard this song repeatedly tens of times. And I am not getting tired of listening to it again and again. The rhythm and the arrangements are simply enchanting.
And then of course, the rendition by Asha ji. All I can say is – just listen to the song. And I think you will be bowled over, as I am.
The lyricist – Shakeel Nomani (or Numani) is once again a lesser known personality in the film world. He was a writer and wrote in newspapers and magazines in Urdu, Hindi and English. His name appears as the songwriter in a few films in 1950s and 60s. He wrote all the songs for four films – ‘Panchaayat’ (1958), ‘State Express’ (1961), ‘Daku Maan Singh’ (1971) and ‘Mera Shikar’ (1973). In addition he has written songs in ones and twos for the following films – ‘Sair e Paristan’(1958), ‘Lady Robinhood’ (1959), ‘Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere’ (1960), ‘Tu Nahin Aur Sahi’ (1960), ‘Flight To Assam’ (1961), ‘Reporter Raju’ (1962), and ‘Magic Carpet’ (1964). Besides writing songs, he has also appeared as an actor in about 20 films. Our blog carries 16 songs already of this lesser known writer.
Shifting gears again – it is the closing hours of the year 2022. Tomorrow will be a new day and the beginning of a New Year. For some time now, I have wondered occasionally, what does a New Year mean. As the day dawns and the sun rises, it will be a day no different than today, or any other day that we have lived through. And when we talk of New Year, there are so many occasions during the 12 months that New Year is celebrated by different societies, different groups of people on different dates. Any way, apologies, I will not continue with my tangential musings.
It is a block time of 12 months that get a new number tomorrow. Different thoughts and different people will associate different expectations and measures and resolutions and plans with this next block of 12 months. And so, wishing all good luck and happiness with all their expectations and plans in the coming year. Also wishing good health to everybody, and a contented peace of mind to go along with it.
Let’s bring on 2023.
Listen to the mesmerizing sounds of the mandolin play, as only one master of mandolin could play. That is Sajjad Husain. Listen to lilting rendition by Asha ji, as she tells about expectations and desires that rise in the mind when one is in love with another. . .
teri chaahat mein jeeyen
teri hasrat mein maren
hai ye armaan. . .
Listen to this wonderful creation – and wonder sometimes, why was this master musician always relegated to the sidelines.
Amen.
