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

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ” Usha Haran’-1949.
Hindi films or for that matter Indian films are a mix of various Genres. They cater to almost every segment of Indian society. Some stories are more popular than others and some Genres give surprises. For example, one would feel that comedy films are very popular, but statistics says that Tragedy films too are equally supported by the audience.One glaring example is, the early tragedy films of Dilip kumar ( in which he invariably died at the end ) and Meena Kumari and Nimmi made them Grade 1 artistes ! On the contrary, none of the3 comedy actors like master Bhagwan, Mehmood or even kishore Kumar were ever called A class actors !!
However, there is one type of Genre which has been indisputably a winner all the way and that is films on Love stories, from Romeo Juliet to Bajirao Mastani. From 1931 onwards and even during the Silent Era, film makers made films on various Love stories, from Folklore to Arabian Nights to Mythological stories. Love stories were available in every state and language. The Puranas, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat too were replete with such Love stories.
Famous Love stories are known to most people. Stories like Romeo Juliet, Laila Majnu, Shirin Farhad from outside India were and are well known. Even Historical love stories like Jodha Akbar, Bajirao Mastani, Prithviraj Sanyogita, Salim Anarkali and Amrapali Bimbisar are known to many. From Mythology Radha Krishna, Subhadra Arjun and Uttara Abhimanyu are well known.
However, how many of us know the love stories of Wamiq Azra, Usha Anirudha, Dhola Maru, Mumal Mahendra or Amaravathi Ambikapathy ? It is also interesting to note how films were made on these famous love stories.
| Movie | Year(s) of release | Origin of story |

| Romeo Juliet | 1947 | Italian story….Folklore |
| Laila Majnu | 1945/53/56/2012 | Arabian |
| Laila | 1954/84 | Arabian |
| Shirin Farhad | 1931/45/56/2012 | Persian |
| Wamiq Azra | 1946 | Persian |
| Dhola Maru | 1956 | Indian Folklore |
| Jodha Akbar | 2008 | Indian Historical |
| Bajirao Mastani | 2015 | |
| Mastani | 1955 | |
| Salim Anarkali | 1953/60 | |
| Amrapali Bimbisar | 1945/66 | |
| Prithviraj Sanyogita | 1933/46 | |
| Subhadra | 1946 | Indian Mythological |
| Subhadra Haran | 1932/64/74 | |
| Usha | 1935 | |
| Usha Haran | 1940/49 | |
| Uttara Abhimanyu | 1946 |
Today we will present a song from the film Usha haran-1949, which is based on the Love story of Banasur’s beautiful daughter Usha and Shri Krishna’s equally handsome grandson (son of Pradyumn)- Anirudha. This story is unique in our Mythology because it involves a war between Lord Shiv ji and Lord Shri Krishna. Here is the story, as I found in the New Indian Express dated 1-8-2014.
The Asura king Bana was the great grandson of Prahlada, the child devotee most dear to Lord Krishna. Through penance and prayers offered to Lord Shiva, he secured a boon that the great god himself would personally guard his city of Sonitapura. Banasura was an arrogant king and had a thousand arms which he was very proud of. But this is not quite his story. It’s his daughter’s….
Usha, the daughter of Banasura, was a beautiful princess. One night she had a dream in which she saw a very handsome, young man. It was love at first sight for them and they spent many happy hours in each other’s company. But like all good things, dreams too come to an end. And Usha woke up to find that all that passed was nothing but a dream.
When Chitralekha, her best friend, came to find her that morning, she found the princess tearful and greatly upset. “What’s wrong with you today? What happened now?” she asked puzzled, for they had parted the evening before in high spirits.
“You may think me foolish but I had this very vivid dream last night about this handsome young man, a prince, perhaps… I really do not know for I’ve never seen anybody like that.” Usha’s voice trailed off.
“Who is this person? You must have seen him somewhere before, surely… think back…,” urged Chitralekha.
“I’m very sure I’ve never seen him before. I don’t think he even exists.” At this point Usha broke into fresh tears and Chitralekha knew she had to do something.
“Okay, I can paint the likeness of any man or god for I’ve learnt painting from Narada himself. Let me start painting some of the handsomest gods and mortals we have and maybe you will see your beloved’s face among them.”
Chitralekha was soon sketching the faces of gods, devas and gandharvas with an expert’s ease. Finally, she painted Lord Krishna.
“Yes, this looks like him, but not quite…,” said Usha from behind her. Next Chitra painted Pradyumna, son of Krishna. “What about him?”
“Umm… he’s younger… but you are close.” Usha was cheering up, her friend noted. Chitralekha continued to make another sketch and when she showed it to her friend, the princess smiled in delight and her cheeks coloured. “Ah… So this is the prince who has stolen your heart! He’s Aniruddha, the grandson of the Krishna of Dwaraka,” laughed Chitralekha, happy to have solved the mystery. “Is this who you desire? I shall bring him to you tonight!”
“What? How?” Usha could not understand what her friend was saying.
“Relax… don’t worry about anything. Just wait for the night to fall.” Chitralekha’s dark eyes were shining and Usha knew her friend had a plan.
Chitralekha was trained in yoga and could travel to wherever she wished, in record time. That night she flew to the palace of Krishna in Dwaraka and made her way to young Anirudda’s chambers. Lifting the sleeping prince in her arms, (yes, some supergirl she was) she hastened back to Sonitapura and gently laid him beside the sleeping Usha.
Next morning, Aniruddha was woken up by a beautiful stranger and found himself in surroundings unknown to him. “Where am I? And who are you?” he asked the maiden who smiled at him. Usha shyly related to him her dream and how her friend actually went and found him for her. Aniriddha was puzzled and thought that maybe he was in a dream too. But as it seemed pleasant enough, he was happy not to fight it.
Many happy days passed and the two young people fell in love. At least Aniruddha too, we can conclude. But this happy state of affairs could not continue for long. One day, Bana’s guards saw the young couple talking and laughing, and alerted the asura king. Bana walked into his daughter’s chambers unannounced and was shocked to find Aniruddha there. The prince was immediately captured and taken prisoner.
In Dwaraka, everyone was saddened and worried by the sudden disappearance of the young prince. It was sage Narada, who on an apparently ‘casual’ visit there, informed them about how Aniruddha was taken prisoner.
Balarama, Krishna’s older brother, was amused. “So Krishna, we have here a chip off the old block, huh? Now we have to go rescue him, looks like.”
Krishna smiled too. “It’s time we attacked Bana’s city,” he said for all of it happens for a reason. The Yadava heroes, Balarama, Pradyumna, Satyaki, led by Sri Krishna himself, marched towards Sonitapura and attacked the city.
But there was Lord Shiva himself they had to vanquish, for it was he who was entrusted with the city’s protection. So began the battle between the great gods, Shiva and Krishna. Shiva’s son, Kartikeya joined his father and engaged in a battle with Pradyumna.
Divine arrows flew back and forth as devas and other gods watched from the heavens in wonder. Finally Krishna sent forth the Vijrumbhana astra, a sleep inducing arrow which struck Lord Shiva who promptly fell asleep!
Bana, who was fighting Satayaki, came towards Krishna. Krishna effortlessly broke each of his bows and finally threw his divine discus Sudarshana at him, which cut away his thousand arms.
At that point, Lord Shiva woke up and intervened on his devotee’s behalf. “Do not kill him Krishna, he’s a devotee of mine who has sought my protection.”
“Do not worry. I promised Prahlada that I would kill none of his kin. With his thousand arms cut off, he will no longer be so arrogant. Let him remain an attendant of yours, always beside you forever.”
Hearing Krishna’s words, a humble Banasura fell at the feet of the gods.
He then went back to his palace and returned with the young couple, Aniruddha and Usha. He placed them on a chariot and let them return to Dwaraka together.
Film Usha Haran-1949 was directed by Dr. Shanti Kumar – not to be confused with Music with Director Shanti Kumar Desai. In spite of several attempts, I could not get any information on this director for the last so many years. I only know that he has directed 18 films from Police-1944 to Mahasati Behula-1964.
The Music Director was Saraswati Devi – who was the discovery of Bombay Talkies in the mid 30’s. The lead pair was Arun Ahuja(Govinda’s father) and Ratnamala. Today’s duet is sung by Shailesh Mukherjee and Rajkumari. This is only the third song from the film out of 12 songs, to feature here. Enjoy….

In the early 1940s, New Theatres (NT) was going through some lean period as some of its films like ‘Meenakshi’ (1942), ‘Saugand’ (1942), ‘Kashinath’ (1943), ‘Waapas’ (1943) etc could not garner box office success. During this period, there were exodus of some of the artists and technicians from NT to Bombay. In this background, NT produced ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944) in Bengali with some new artists, new technicians and also with a new director, Bimal Roy who was the Cinematographer and the Editor with NT. The film became a big box office success, recouping to some extent the lost glory of NT.
Buoyed by the fresh success, NT decided to remake Hindi version, ‘Hamraahi’ (1945) with more or less the same star cast that were in the Bangla version. The star cast included Binota Bose (her first and the last Hindi film as an actress) and Radhamohan Bhattacharya in the lead roles, supported by Tulsi Chakraborty, Rekha Mullick, Debi Mukherjee, Hiralal, Ramesh Sinha, Manorama, Maya Bose, Devbala etc.
Incidentally,as reported in The Daily Telegraph’s E-paper, the lead actor, Radhamohan Bhattachraya’s 100th birth anniversary was on September 27, 2021. Bangla film fraternity gathered in Kolkata to pay tribute to him especially by actors who had worked with him. At the end of the gathering, one of his film, ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944) was screened for the audience.
‘Hamraahi’ (1945) did not get the same success at the box office as was with its Bangla version. DVD of ‘Hamraahi’ (1945) is not available for viewing on any of the video sharing platforms. So, I watched the Bangla version, ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944) with English sub-titles. The story of the film is the theme of rich-poor conflicts. The idea of making the film on rich-poor conflicts may have come when NT produced a documentary film on the Bengal famine of 1943 which was directed by Bimal Roy. The story of the film is as under:
Anup (Radhamohan Bhattacharya) is a middle-class journalist staying with his mother and a sister, Sumitra (Rekha Mullick). Anup gets a job at industrialist, Rajendranath’ office as a as a Publicity Officer. He also writes speeches for Rajendranath (Ramesh Sinha in Hindi version) which are well appreciated and Rajendranath attains a status of an intellectual.
Anup meets Gopa (Binota Bose) in a library where he comes to know that Gopa is the daughter of Rajendranath whose wife had falsely accused his sister, Sumitra of stealing from his house when she attended a party on the invitation of her school friend, Gopa, Anup decides to leave the job. After some persuasion by Rajendranath’s son, Souren (Debi Mukherjee), Anup agrees to complete the speech he was writing for Rajendranath. Souren in return agrees to get Anup’s novel printed.
Gopa gets hold of the manuscript of Anup’s novel. After reading it, she is impressed with the viewpoints he has about the rich-poor class struggles. She starts meeting Anup quite often. In the meanwhile, the novel is printed and released but instead of Anup’s name, the novel carries the name of Sauren as the author. Anup is not in a position to prove the wrong-doing of Souren, Instead, he decides to take up the issues of the workers in factories of Rajendranath. Gopa also gets involved with workers’ union to understand their problems. Anup becomes popular among the workers and becomes the leader of the workers’ union.
Souren is not happy with this development. He hires goons to to disturb the workers’ meeting during which Anup gets hurt. Gopa arrives to take care of him. The next day, the photograph of Gopa with Anup becomes a scandalous news. Rajendranath bars Gopa from meeting Anup. He also visits Anup’s house requesting him not to meet Gopa in future which Anup agrees under the impression that Gopa regretted her decision to join him as told to him by Gopa’s father. But it was not true as Gopa decides to leave her father’s house to join Anup for the betterment of underprivileged.
It is interesting to note that the film ends with Gopa driving a car to catch-up with Anup who has decided to leave the place. As soon as she locates him walking on the road, she abandons the car and walks with Anup for ‘udayer pathe’ (new path of dawn). In a way, the film became ‘udayer pathe’ for Bimal Roy as well as a renowned director. Later, he directed ‘Do Beegha Zameen’ (1953) with more or less the similar theme of rich-poor conflicts.
Generally, in the films with the story of rich-poor conflicts, capitalists have been mostly shown as a ruthless exploiters of the working class. The leaders representing the working class have often been shown with militant attitude. In ‘Udayer Pathe’/Hamraahi’, Bimal Roy has shown the characters representing the capitalist and the labourer in a restraint manner. There are no rhetoric dialogues for one-upmanship. Even the romantic relationship between Anup and Gopa have been kept in a very restrain fashion. In the film, they meet mostly in the context of understanding and solving the problems of workers with an undertone of liking for each other.
The story of ‘Udayer Pathe’/Hamraahi’ was written by IPTA writer, Jyotirmoy Roy. After the tremendous success of ‘Udayer Pathe’, Jyotirmoy Roy wrote a full-fledged novel in Bengali on the subject which became among the best seller novel.
‘Hamraahi’ (1945) had 7 songs (including one song in Bangla) of which 5 songs have been covered in the Blog. I am presenting the 6th song, ‘hansi chaand ki aaj niraali’ sung by and picturised on Binota Bose. The song has been written by Munshi Zakir Hussain which is set to music by R C Boral. Actually, the tune of this song is almost the same as that of the Bangla version of the song, chander hasir bandh bhengechhe which was written and composed by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and used in ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944).
I have watched the Bangla version of the song which is available in the film ‘Udayer Pathe’ (1944). The song has been beautifully picturised in a full moon light setting. I have given below the link to the Bangla version of the song just to get an idea as to how the song was picturised in Hindi version of the film. The background behind the song picturization is as under:
After attending the workers’ meeting, Gopa and Anup are on their way to return to their respective homes. On the way, they find moonlit path. Gopa desires to spend some time to enjoy the nature in the midst of moon light. It is at this point, Anup reminds her of the commitment she had made to sing a song for him. He says that it is a perfect setting for singing a song. She sings the song full of description of the nature (prakriti varnan) which is Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore’s one of the favourite themes. Munshi Zakir Hussain’s lyrics for Hindi version retains some parts of the ‘prakiriti varnan’ with some different imageries, probably to fit words in the pre-composed tune of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.
I heard both the versions of the songs only a few days back. But the songs often linger in my mind for the beautiful nature poetry woven with melodious tune.

Hullo Atuldom
20th June, a Very Important Date in the calendar of ASAD. It was on this date, a few decades ago, a person dear to this blog was born. Correction, I would like to change person dear to this blog was born with person whose brainchild this blog is. Person whose love for music led to the genesis of this blog. Person who is kind enough to take us along on this musical journey. Thank you so much Atul ji for this blog. Wish you A Very Happy Birthday. Hope the great times continue and we Atulites are able to keep pace with you
Today I am presenting a song from a movie which made its debut on the blog in 2011 (almost 10 years ago, 15-20 days away from the 10-year mark) with this song “Ye Pyaar Bhara Dil Hai Muhabbat Ka Khazaana” by Sudhirji. This post has the general storyline of the movie. The next song from this movie was “Pyaar Beqaraar Hai Pyaar Ki Awaaz Sun” by Nahm ji. That post has two versions of the same song. So that makes it 3 songs from an album having around 10 songs.
I find that YouTube is not helpful as there seems to be no video links to the movie’s songs, only audio links. Here is the next song which is in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar, written by Shyamlal Shams and Kamal Mitra is the music director.
The movie is ‘Yahudi Ki Beti’ from 1956, which had a cast of Daljit, Anita Guha, Tabassum, Tiwari, Helen, Maruti, Al Nasir, Rajan Haksar, Wazir Mohammed Khan etc. Nanubhai Vakil is credited as director of the movie. (I am sure that there are knowledgeable followers of the blog who will be able to provide more details about the movie, its director, music director, lyricist etc.)
The thoughts expressed in this, very simply-worded song, indicates that it was lip-synced by the heroine of the movie – Anita Guha. The first time I consciously saw her in a movie was in ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, when I saw the movie on TV sometime in the 80s. Then I was informed that she was the actress who played Rakhee’s mother in ‘Sharmilee’ and Rajesh Khanna’s foster mother in ‘Araadhna’. Then I slowly realized that I have seen her in quite a few movies like ‘Dekh Kabira Roya’, ‘Anuraag’ etc. I have read somewhere that Prema Narayan, who was popular in the 70s and 80s (of ‘Armaan’, ‘Ponga Pandit’ and numerous such movies) is the niece of Anita Guha. Anita’s husband was Manik Dutt – an actor who was seen playing supporting characters in movies till the late 80s.
More trivia about Anita Guha some other time. Let us get on to the song and once again wish our Dear Atul ji on his birthday. Wish him many more milestones in life as well as on the blog.
Song – Chori Chori Dil Mein Ye Kaun Aa Raha Hai (Yahudi Ki Beti) (1956) Singer – Lata Mangeshkar, Lyrics – Shyamlal Shams, MD – Kamal Mitra
Lyrics
chori chori dil mein ye kaun aa raha hai

naghma nahin ye dilbar ulfat ki dastaan hai
ji bhar ke pyaar kar le mausam abhi jawaan hai
naghma nahin ye dilbar ulfat ki dastaan hai
ji bhar ke pyaar kar le mausam abhi jawaan hai
mausam abhi jawaan hai
shama ke pyaar mein ye parwaana gaa raha hai

tadpa ke meri duniya jo muskura raha hai
muskura raha hai
chori chori dil mein ye kaun aa raha hai
kaun aa raha hai

I have stumbled upon some very melodious and wonderful songs in recent weeks and months. I am saving all the links for various series in various folders, but don’t seem to get around to writing the posts. But my speed has reduced since I started using my new HP laptop, which is a gaming one. I had to go for this as I wanted 1 TB data with SSD, whatever that means. I am told that SSD is for higher speed. This was the only model available, without touch screen. So the games and other binge watching tendencies are hampering my blog output.
But the lure of old film songs is also strong enough, that I go to youtube frequently and end up saving a few song links every time, after checking if they are posted in the blog. This way I get to hear and sometimes see, some forgotten old melodies, known and unknown.
One of such songs is this ‘chhaaya geet’ duet by Talat Mehmood and Lata Mangeshkar from the film Zindagi (1956). The music director is Mohammed Shafi Niazi, and lyricist is Kaifi Azmi. This is the first opportunity for me to post a duet by Talat-Lata, as all well known songs by these were posted early on in the first three years of this blog inception.
Details about Mohammed Shafi are given in this post. The post also contains his filmography. This is one of the two songs posted in the blog, the other one being abhi to saji hai muraadon ki duniya. Seeing the filmography, the last film of mohammed Shafi is ‘Dayaar-e-madina’ 1975. I have seen that movie at Maratha Mandir, in one of its re-releases. I fondly remember the fabulous Rafi naat from the film:
Madad Keejiye taajdar-e-madinaa
ham aankhon se dekhen dayaar-e-madinaa
The song is posted here by Sudhir Sir, on my farmaish, no less.
28 songs composed by Mohammed Shafi are posted in the blog. Total may reach a hundred songs by him seeing that he has composed songs for 23 films, some of the them partly. There is some clarity required regarding his surname also, as everywhere that I could see including on the blog and the posts, his name is given as Mohammed Shafi, Mohammad Shafi Nagri etc. Only in the stats page on the blog, his name is mentioned as Mohammed Shafi Niazi. Having read Sudhir Sir’s post referred above, I am reasonably sure that this Mohammed Shafi, the musician is not part of the Niazi clan to which the current Prime minister of Pakistan belongs.
In this romantic duet song, I can say that there is no sign of the infamous ‘galat Mehmood’, and the singing is perfect if a bit lower than the lowest note of music. I mean Talat Mehmood, whose tally on the blog is 387 out of 450. Kaifi Azmi is not out at 211 🙂 .
The blog has 60 such duets by Talat Mehmood and Lata Mangeshkar. The last of these was posted on 31.12.2020, and the one posted prior to this was on 08/08/2017 and the third last such song was on 16.07.2015. So rare are these gems, and I am honoured to write a posts for such a rarely occurring miracle. This truly is a ‘once in a blue moon’ kind of song. This could well be the last remaining duet of Lata-Talat, but we can hope that there are 2-3 more such songs left.
My absolute favourite duet of these two is this one from Jahan Ara (1964):
Ae sanam aaj ye qasam khaayen
gayaa andhera hua ujaala
Teri chamakti aankhon ke aage
Nain miley nain huye baawre
ye nayi nayi preet hai
o dildaar bolo ek baar
Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
AAha rimjhim ke ye pyaare pyaare geet liye
Itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
The list is not quite the perfect 10, but these are the song, I could find on the blog listed under Duets by Talat-Lata. Incidentally, this last one in the list is the song which I heard in the vegetable market last Sunday. The one I referred to in the last post of Geeta Dutt series. Lucky me to have found this song twice in 8 days. Who will miss knowing Mozart, with such songs to lose and find in a life time? Not me, for sure.
Song-Muskuraa ke zakhm khaana aa gaya (Zindagi)(1956) Singers-Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Kaifi Azmi, MD-Mohammed Shafi
Both

| Total upto 1960 | 607 movies | 1988 | 2369 | 1684 | 516 | 122 | 45 |
As can be seen from the table of 1961, Lata Mangeshkar sang 152 songs in movies released in 1961. As many as 125 of these songs have been covered in the blog. Out of 44 movies of 1960 where Lata Mangeshkar sang, all Lata Mangeshkar songs of 30 movies are alreday covered. So we have to look at the remaining 14 movies to find Lata Mangesahkar songs of 1961 to discuss in the blog.
Alphabetically the first such movie that offers us such Lata Mangeshkar songs to discuss is “Amrit Manthan”(1961). This mythological movie was and directed by S N Tripathi for Agraal Productions, Bombay. The movie had Usha Kiran, Manhar Desai, Ulhas, Sundar, Sulochana Chatterjee, Dalpat Kaka, Ratnmala, Premlata, Amirbai Karnataki, Radheshyam, Babu Raje, H N Kalla, Dev Chand, Moti Vijay, Moolchand, Baijnath, Habeeb, Yashodhara Katju, Uma Dutt, Jeeankala, Roopmal etc in it.
The movie had ten songs in it. It appears that records were made only for four songs. Names of singers are known only for these four songs of the movie. In absence of records of the other movie, we have no idea about the singers of those ten songs. Based on the details of four songs, we know that one of these songs is a Lata solo.
Here is the song from “Amrit Manthan”(1961). The song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. B D Mishra is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi. The mukhda of the song “raat dhalne lagi” is similar to the well known song, Aa aa bhi jaa raat dhhalne lagi from “Teesri Kasam”(1966), also sung by Lata Mangeshkar. But this “Amrit Manthan “(1961) song came five years before the “Teesri Kasam”(1966) song. These to songs are different.
Only the audio of the song is available. I request our knoledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Song-Chaand dhhalne lagaa dil machalne lagaa (Amrit Manthan)(1961) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-B D Mishra, MD- S N Tripathi

dhoondhta hai tumhen pyaar mera

raah mein nain kab se bichhaaye
baawri si akeli khadi main
baawri si akeli khadi main
neend aati nahin
jaag paaati nahin
kaun sa tumne mujh pe ye jaadu kiya
chaand dhalne laga
dil machalne laga
aa bhi ja

aa bhi jaao piya
chaand dhalne laga

Here is the summary of Lata Mangeshkar’s playback career in Hindi movies till end of 1957 :
| Year | Movie count | Lata song in the blog | Lata HFM songs recorded in the year | Lata solo songs | Male duet | Female duet | Other songs | Remarks |

| Total upto 1957 | 422 movies | 1407 | 1708 | 1269 | 318 | 83 | 38 |
By the end of 1957, Lata Mangeshkar had sung in 422 movies. In these movies, she had worked with 89 music directors and 85 lyricists.
Out of 47 movies of 1957, all Lata Mangeshkar songs have been covered in the blog in 31 movies. So we have only 16 movies of 1957 still available from where we can discuss Lata Mangeshkar songs.
Alphabetically the first such movie is “Ek Jhalak”(1957).
This movie was produced by Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar and directed by Kalidas for Deep and Pradeep Productions, Bombay. The movie had Vyjyantimala, Pradeep Kumar, Anita Guha, Rajendra Kumar, Pran, Mubarak, Lalita Pawar, Bipin Gupta, Randhir, Om Prakash, Hira Sawant, Rashid Khan, Tuntun, CV Rao, Patanjali, Gajendra, Amin, Fazal Khan, Saar, Deep Khosla etc in it.
The movie had nine songs in it. Seven songs have been covered in the past.
The movie had one Lata song and that was a solo song.
Here is that Laa Mangeshkar song from “Ek Jhalak”(1957). This rare song is penned by S H Bihari. Hemant Kuamr is the lyricist.
The song, which I heard for the first time just now, sounds like an archtypical chhaayaageet song, which is best heard late at night.
Only the audio of the song is availavle. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Song-Ye hawa ye fizaa ye raat hai taaron bhari(Ek Jhalak)(1957) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-S H Bihari, MD-Hemant Kumar

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 89
———————————————————————————–
This date 29 october 2020 is a different kind of blog ten year challenge. It was on this day ten years ago that I met Raja face to face in Nagpur where I was based at that time. All these days I was under the impression that the meeting had taken place recently, but no, time has sprinted away faster than Usain Bolt, and TEN years have elapsed after that memorable evening. .
For those who came in late, I was a member of a by now defunct cricket forum called Pakcricbuzz under the ID of squarecut. I used to discuss cricket of 1970s in that forum. One fine day, this new member called Raja joined and he started commenting on my posts exclaiming that he was in the same age group and he too had similar memories about cricket of 1970s. I initially thought that he was a Pakistani with surname of Raja (like Wasim Raja and Rameez Raja) but later I found that he was an Indian.
After a few days, I stumbled upon “introduction” section of that forum, where I found discussion about a new cricket forum by an Indian poster. I visited that forum called cricforum. That was in may 2005. It was quite an inactive forum at that time, but I felt comfortable there mainly because it was a forum of Indians. Two weeks later, I found that same person Raja also joining cricforum. Soon the forum began to buzz with great activity.
The forum had moderators and administrators based in Europe and USA and they needed an India based moderator. So I was made an moderator there and an announcement was made that “Atul Bhai is our new moderator.” Members of the forum congratulated me, and that included Raja too. So your name is Atul, he stated. My ID was squarecut and so it was this announcement that made Raja aware about my name.
This forum did not just discuss cricket, it discussed other topics as well, and people there had a unique kind of sense of humour which was described there as “muppetry”. Whenever India lost in cricket, which was quite often, members would roast Indian cricketers in posts that were scathing and at the same time quite funny. Then there was this person Ravi, the owner of the site, who would write hard hitting reviews of Hindi movies that were great fun to read. This person Ravi incidentally has written a guest post in this blog as well. This article gives us some idea about his sense of humour. Even I have covered him in the blog in one article on his pet-a wolf dog. I rate this article as one of the most satisfying articles written by me.
Some music lovers there began to discuss music under a subsection called Geetmala. There music loving members would write articles on a music theme. I wrote a few articles, on themes like Railway songs in Hindi movies. Others such as Raja also came up with his own theme.
It was during late 2007 and early 2008 that I was exposed to the concept of blogging. I opened a blog on blogspot platform where I started writing similar theme based articles. I wrote 50 long articles there which did not get the kind of traffic that I expected. Soon enough, I discovered wordpress platform, which I found far more easy for blogging. It was on this platform that I began to write my comments of Hindi film songs, taking up one song at a time. And soon enough, this became my main blog.
When I informed others about my blogs, some of them visited them and left notes of encouragement. Raja’s comments were especially prized ones for me, because he wrote long and elaborate comments that served as just the kind of encouragement that any budding blogger/ poster needs.
As mentioned earlier, Raja and I were members of cricforum. Raja actually met a few regulars of that forum, including Ravi, the owner of that forum. So Raja was already into “gangouts” of cricforum. Incidentally, this term “Gangout” is coined by Raja. So far this term has not found its way into Dictioneries and it is found only in this blog.
Raja was based in Holland and he would regularly visit India to meet his family members. By 2010, Raja too had become a moderator and subsequently an administrator in that forum. I too had become an adminisrator. During october 2010, Raja was planning to visit India, and another administrator called Asterix too was planning to visit India. This person Asterix was Nagpur based, and he saw a good opportunity for a get together at Nagpur. He invited a few members to come visit Nagpur. Raja was the one who agreed. So Raja boarded a train from Bangalore and arrived at Nagpur on 28 October 2010. He was recived at the Nagpur station by Asterix who took him to his home to stay with him. Raja, in those pre whatsapp days posted his status in cricforum- “Arrived Nagpur. Feeling happy. Looking forward to meet Atul.”
At Nagpur, I lived in Railway locality (called Mount Road)close to Old Vidarbha Cricket stadium. This stadium had hosted international matches till a few years ago, before the bigger stadium at Jamtha came up. I lived alone, while my wife and daughter lived across the Maharashra MP border 250 KM away. I had a very good internet connection (provided by Railways) and I also had inverter connection. So I was connected on internet round the clock even if it was raining outside and power was off. No wonder I was at my most productive as a blogger those days.
Raja, asterix and another person (Asterix’s relative) arrived at my home in the evening. I received a bear hug from Asterix. The two of us were so like minded in cricketing matters (including our “love” for Bangladeshi cricket. 🙂 ) in the forum.
After some cricket discussion, the two of them expressed their interest in my blogging process. So I took them to the room that I had earmarked for this purpose. This small room had a laptop on a computer table. When I look back at it now, I realise that I used to note down the lyrics directly from the computer. I did not use headphone or external speakers those days. Later I began to use headphones and that helped a lot. But using headphones was not yet started by me and I relied on listening to the tinny voice emanatng from the laptop. That laptop was a 2007 model, with windows XP in it.
The blog by that time had 3154 posts, a far cry from the current tally of over 16000 writeups. Many blog concepts, now taken for granted had not yet evolved. Even guest posts were in their infancy. Raja, the first guest poster in the blog had written his (and blog’s) first guest post on 26 june 2010 (blog post number 2565). Raja’s most recent guest post was the writeup for 3000th song of the blog- on 20 september 2010. It was his 31st guest post in the blog. 31 guest posts in less than three months- Raja was in a rich vein of writing form those days. 🙂
My collection of video CDs, audio CDs etc were strewn all over the place which I showed them as my musical collection. I can never arrange them systematically, no matter how half heartedly I try. 🙂 I also tried to bluff telling them that what was visible was only a part of my collection. 🙂
I had one thing with me that was quite a prized possession though. It was a diary of 1974, that I got hold of in 1975. In that diary I noted down lyrics of songs written from radio. I needed to listen to a song a few times before I could get the full lyrics right. It had about 200 plus song lyrics. That diary was also the place where I would note down scores of test matches played those days. I showed them the score card of the Port of Spain test where India scored 406/4 in the fourth innings to win the test. Raja was suitably impressed with that diary.
We spent an hour and half or so at my place. Those days we did not have cameras on mobile phones. People carried handycams. Raja had brought one such handycam. I had asked a couple of my staff to be present. One of them took our photos which Raja later put up on our cricket forum.
After one hour and half or so, we went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Asterix, a native of Nagpur knew various places in Nagpur quite well. Our discussion continued during that time as well. Raja told us that he had watched the movie “Akeli Mat Jaiyyo”(1963) with very high expectations but he felt badly let down. 🙂 Raja has subsequently learnt to keep his expectations low while watching Hindi movies. 🙂
While discussing musical matters and bloggers, we discussed Greta (Memsaab) and her blog. Raja mentioned that Greta’s birthday fell a few days ago. We also discussed the fact that her birthday fell so close to that of Shammi Kapoor that she was a big fan of.
Those were the days when the blog followed the concept of “farmaish”. Farmaish page was a popular page of the blog. Raja himself was a big farmaish sender. Raja had sent lots of farmaishes in the blog farmaish page. I asked him for a farmaisdh face to face- easily the first such farnmaish for the blog. Raja chose the song “Baar baar din ye aaye” and dedicated it to Greta. :).
After dinner, Raja and Asterix dropped me back at my place at about 10:45 PM or so and thus ended a memorable evening / night for me.
Next day, I posted that article on Raja’s farmaish where I described this meeting in brief. This aricle received several comments including that of Raja as well.
Raja in his comment to this post wrote:-
As Atul says, the two of us finally managed to meet each other. It was really memorable for me too. I have long admired Atul’s witty comments, not just on this blog but also on our cricket forum. He has these one-liners that I call Atulisms. ??
We had a very nice time together. Atul walked me through the process he goes through to post songs on his blog. We discussed other stuff too – including a diary he used to maintain way back in 1976, with handwritten cricket scorecards and Hindi film songs. Those were pre-internet days, so every piece of info we could gather from any source was very valuable. Indeed Atul and I can relate to a lot of things – I used to also maintain cricket statistics in this manner. 🙂 🙂
Over dinner, Atul asked me for a song farmaish “on the spot”. This birthday song was fresh in my mind – I remember searching for it a few days earlier on his blog and not finding it. It is my favourite birthday song – I love Rafi’s voice in this, I love the picturisation, I love the lyrics.
I did not expect Atul to turn this around so quickly on the blog. Thanks a lot, Atul.
Four years later, I described this visit in more detail during the run up to our 10K post, when I wrote about Raja in this post. There I have quoted what Raja wrote about this visit in cricforum. Here are his reminiscences:-
I came over from Bangalore to Nagpur to meet Asterix and Atul.
I first met Asterix on the 28th evening (he picked me up from the station).
We then arranged to meet Atul the following evening (Friday – 29th).We went over to Atul’s place. Very nice place – Atul has people at his beck and call for his household work. * jealous *
Anyway, it was a very memorable experience.
Already meeting Asterix the previous evening was a great feeling – and now meeting Atul also was just amazing.
We discussed a lot of stuff – mostly about CF of course. And about Atul’s song blog.Asterix and Atul also expressed concern about the increasing dominance of Bangladesh on the cricket scene and how it could impact minnows like BCCI who are in the same group in the World Cup. ?? Personally I think they were more concerned about the impact on a certain cricket forum. ??
Atul then showed us how he builds up his song blog – from a blog owner’s perspective.
It was fascinating.We also got to see some of his VCD collection. More than 150 VCDs – most of them old (forgotten) Hindi movies. These provide the raw material for his song blog to a large extent. And I am informed by Atul that this is only a part of his collection – he has much more.
The evening was already going very well – but then it went many notches higher for me when Atul showed us something else.
This really brought tears (of nostalgia) to my eyes.He showed us a diary that he used to maintain in 1976.
In those days, he used to write down cricket scorecards of various matches going on at that time.
Seeing the names of Gavaskar, Gaekwad, Vishwanath – written in Atul’s handwriting – really made me remember those days.I got into a major nostalgia session – Asterix cut me short (like he often does ?? ), suggesting that we could continue the discussion over dinner. ??
(Actually we had another friend with us – not a CF person – and Asterix, understandably, did not want him to get bored).In this diary, Atul also used to write down Hindi songs. Movie, singers, music directors – and full lyrics. As much as he could capture at that time from radio. Remember these were pre-Internet days, these were days when you really had to search and hunt for info that is readily available nowadays. You had to listen to a song umpteen times before you could get it right.
I think this passion is what has now morphed into Atul’s blog. Different times, new technology – but same, burning passion.
We then went out for dinner. By then it was a little late – we dropped Atul back at his place and returned to Asterix’s place (where I was staying), with very fond memories of our meeting.
Thank you, Atul. It was a very memorable evening. 29th October 2010.
I can barely believe that ten years have past since that memorable evening. It is true. We all, as well as the blog, are ten years older since that day.
In a way, it is a different kind of Blog Ten Year Challenge. I posted a song from a movie that day. Let me post another song from the same movie ten years later.
Following songs were covered in the blog ten years ago on this date (29 october 2010):-
| Blog Post number | Song | Movie | Year of release | Posting time | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3149 | Teri nazar mein main rahoon meri nazar mein tu | 1857 | 1946 | 7:19 AM | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3150 | Tum hamen bhool gaye | Balam | 1949 | 8:13 AM | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3151 | Barbaad huyi dil ki duniyaa | Jalpari | 1952 | 8:51 AM | 7 songs covered out of 9 |
| 3152 | Hamko samajh baithhi hai ye duniyaa deewaanaa | Chaar Deewaari | 9:13 AM | 1961 | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 3153 | Mujhe tumse muhabbat hai magar main keh nahin saktaa | Bachpan | 1963 | 9:29 AM | 3 songs covered out of 7 |
Out of two eligible movies for Blog Ten Year Challenge today, the first movie “Jalpari”(1952) has already been taken up earlier in the day. So that leaves us with “Bachpan”(1963) as the other eligible movie.
“Bachpan”(1963) was directed by Nazar for New Panchratan pictures, Bombay. This “social” movie had Menka Irani, Saleem, Manorama, David, Daisy Irani, Bhudo Advani etc in it.
The movie had seven songs in it. Three songs have been covered in the past. Iconic Rafi song Mujhe tumse muhabbat hai magar main keh nahin saktaa was discussed on the blog on this day ten year ago.
The remaining four songs are lesser known songs. Some are even unavailable. Out of the available songs, the song under discussion shines on its own merit and deserves to be better known among music lovers. This song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sardar Malik.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisatiuon of this song. The song is an ideal song to be listened to at night. It is a song that firmly belongs to the league of what I call “Chhaayaageet” songs.
Song-Mere naina mad ke pyaale (Bachpan)(1963) Singer-Suman Kalyanpur, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Sardar Malik
Lyrics(Provided by Prakashchandra)
Mere naina mad ke pyaale
Mere naina mad ke pyaale
koi aaj dil sabhaale
koi aaj dil sabhaale
main jahaan jahaan se guzri
wahin ho gaye ujaale
Mere naina mad ke pyaale
jo nazar milaaye mujh se
wohi hosh apne khoye
wohi hosh apne khoye
jise dekh loon main hans ke
wo khushi se mera hoye
wo khushi se mera hoye
use badh ke baandh le phir
mere gesu kaale kaale
mere naina mad ke pyaale
koi aaj dil sambhaale
main jahaan jahaan se guzri
wahin ho gaye ujaale
mere naina mad ke pyaale
bujhe dil ko roshni de
mere tan ke ujle saaye
mere tan ke ujle saaye
ke huyi shama jo raushan
to patange ghir ke aaye
to patange ghir ke aaye
ke amar rahenge mar kar
mujhe pyaar karne waale
mere naina mad ke pyaale
koi aaj dil sambhaale
main jahaan jahaan se guzri
wahin ho gaye ujaale
mere naina mad ke pyaale
Phir wahi naghma suna de

| Blog Day : | 4466 | Post No. : | 15953 |
These days I am searching for movies where only one song was covered. I discussed one such movie in my earlier post here where only one song from the movie was posted. Now I have come across another such movie. It is “Shaahi Baazaar”(1957). The movie made its debut in the blog with the song ‘dil mastaane jhoom le aaj gulon ko choom le’ which was posted on 29.01.2017. That remains the only song from the movie in the blog so far.
I had mentioned it in my post that I was revisiting and listening to many Hemant Kumar songs during recent months. This exercise gave me immense pleasure. Around the same time our respected Arun Kumar ji had posted this NFS from Hemant Kumar – main saaz bajaaun tum gaao. After listening to it I was totally lost in the magic of the voice of Hemant Kumar. It went down memory lane to my ‘cassettes collecting years’ from ‘1985 to 2004’ when I used to listen to such songs contained in my prized collections of cassettes.
After that I was following with our editors for one of the ‘vintage favorites’ of Hemant Kumar which I had shared earlier to post but somehow it didn’t materuialise. Nevertheless, another vintage favorite of Hemant Kumar (from my wish list) was again posted by Arun Kumar ji which was ‘wo khushnaseeb hai jinko yahaan qaraar mila’.
I came across today’s song when I noted one comment on ‘YouTube’ that this song was an ‘NFS’ but it clarified by someone that it was from the movie ‘Shaahi Baazaar-1957’ and maybe it was not included in the movie. When I checked in HFGK Vol-III for this movie’s song it was listed there. So, I am presenting this wonderful song today here on the blog.
“Shaahi Baazaar-1957” was directed by Balwant Dave and Padmakant Pathak for ‘Chandni Chitra Productions’, Bombay. It was produced by G.A. Thakur and Lim Bilimoria.
‘Shaahi Baazaar-1957’ was a ‘costume drama’ movie. The movie had Chitra, Mahipal, Rajkumar, Sapru, Maruti, Ramesh Thakur, Chaman Puri, Naazi, Helen, Sheila Vaz, Tuntun, Bhalerao and others. Mirza Musharraf and Sheikh make guest appearance in the movie.
The movie had eight songs which were sung by six singers viz. Geeta Dutt, Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Shamshad Begam, Mohd Rafi and Balbir. Lyrics of these songs were penned by four lyricists – Raja Mehdi Ali Khan (2 songs), Aziz Kashmiri (4 songs), and Pandit Shivraj and Madan Parihar – one song each.
Music was composed by two music directors Dhani Ram and S. Haridarshan.
Today’s song is written by Pt Shivraj and it is sung by Hemant Kumar. HFGK is silent about the music director of this song.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 27.03.1957.
Let us now enjoy today’s song in the voice of Hemant Kumar. I am sure one will immediately fall in love with this voice. The song grows on you as we listen to this song repeatedly. The composition spells magic . I am not sure if it is by Dhani Ram as many YT comments mention or it is by S. Haridarshan. Lyrics by Pandit Shivraj are beautifully penned.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs. Actor Mahipal and actress Chitra (I guess) can be seen in the picturization of this song.)

Lyrics
phir wahi naghmaa sunaa de ae
phir wahi naghmaa sunaa de
dil ko deewaana banaa de ae
saaz-e-dilkash chhed de ae
chhed de ae
phir wahi naghmaa sunaa de ae
ghamzadaa khwaabon mein ae khoyaa aa
dard hai pehlu mein soya aa
ghamzadaa khwaabon mein khoyaa aa
dard hai pehlu mein soya aa
yaad phir naa be-wafaa ki ee
yaad phir naa be-wafaa ki
dil mein ik toofaan uthhaa de
dil mein ik toofaan uthhaa de ae
saaz-e-dilkash chhed de ae
chhed de ae
phir wahi naghmaa sunaa de ae
bhool jaa aa aa aa aa
bhool jaa aa
bhool jaa guzri wo raatein
pyaar o ulfat ki wo baatein
bhool jaa guzri wo raatein
pyaar o ulfat ki wo baatein
ho sakegaa jo naa apnaa aa
ho sakegaa jo naa apnaa aa
dil se us but? ko bhoolaa de
dil se us but? ko bhoolaa de ae
saaz-e-dilkash chhed de ae
chhed de ae
phir wahi naghmaa sunaa de

फिर वही नगमा सुना दे ए
फिर वही नगमा सुना दे
दिल को दीवाना बना दे ए
साज़ ए दिलकश छेड़ दे ए
छेड़ दे ए
फिर वही नगमा सुना दे ए
ग़मज़दा ख़्वाबों में ए खोया आ
दर्द है पहलु में सोया आ
ग़मज़दा ख़्वाबों में खोया आ
दर्द है पहलु में सोया आ
याद फिर ना बे-वफ़ा कि ई
याद फिर ना बे-वफ़ा कि
दिल में इक तूफ़ान उठा दे
दिल में इक तूफ़ान उठा दे ए
साज़ ए दिलकश छेड़ दे ए
छेड़ दे ए
फिर वही नगमा सुना दे ए
भूल जा आ आ आ आ
भूल जा आ
भूल जा गुजरी वो रातें
प्यार ओ उल्फत कि वो बातें
भूल जा गुजरी वो रातें
प्यार ओ उल्फत कि वो बातें
हो सकेगा जो ना अपना आ
हो सकेगा जो ना अपना आ
दिल से उस बुत को भूला दे
दिल से उस बुत को भूला दे ए
साज़ ए दिलकश छेड़ दे ए
छेड़ दे ए
फिर वही नगमा सुना दे ए
