(Tributes to Mohd Rafi and actor Om Prakash)
————————————————
Today’s post is to pay our tributes to the Legendary Singer Mohd Rafi who was born on this day 24th December in 1924 and passed away on 31st July’1980.
On this occasion I am presenting a song sung by him from the ‘1981’ movie ‘Maan Gaye Ustaad’.
On the screen this song is performed by actor Om Prakash.
That way this post also serves the purpose to pay our tributes to Om Prakash whose birth anniversary was on 19th December.
One of the finest character actors of Hindi Films Om Prakash was born on 19th December’1919 and passed away on 21st February’1998.
Today’s movie “Maan Gaye Ustaad-1981” was directed by Shibu Mitra for ‘Kapoor Films International, Bombay’.
It was produced by S.K. Kapoor.
It had Ashok Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Ajit, Bindu, Amjad Khan, Pran, Chandrashekhar, Rajendra Nath, Sonia Sahni, Devyani Thakkar, Uttam Sodhi, Johny, Leena Das, Jazbel, Peeloo Wadia, Mohan Choti, Rajan Haksar, Rajan Kapoor, Shetty, Murad, Ghulam Hussain, Moolchand, Gurucharan, Bhola and others.
This movie also had child artistes Ravi Valecha and Baby Suparna.
Character actor Om Prakash made a special appearance in this movie.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.06.1981.
“Maan Gaye Ustaad-1981” had seven songs, all written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik-Omi.
Here is the list of songs of this movie.
Sr.No | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
---|---|---|---|
01 | Mera ik sawaal hai … maan gaye ustaad | Rafi, Dilraj Kaur, Chandrani Mukherjee | 12.02.2018 |
02 | Mujhpe bhi to daalo ek nazar | Asha Bhonsle | |
03 | Ek chhatri aur ham do | Rafi, Asha Bhonsle | 03.11.2012 |
04 | Jawaani ki kahaani bhi ajeeb hai | Asha Bhonsle, chorus | |
05 | Ham salaam karte hain | Asha Bhonsle, chorus | |
06 | Duniya ke liye main aafat hoon… mujhse nazarein milaane ki jurrat na kar | Rafi, Manna Dey | 26.11.2012 |
07 | Allah ka naam paak hai wo paak rahega | … Rafi |
We can see that three songs from this movie ‘Maan Gaye Ustaad’ have been posted on the blog so far. Though this movie has already completed its’ ten-year run on the blog it is yet to be covered with all its songs.
Today’s song is the fourth song from this movie to be posted on the blog. Incidentally all the three songs from this movie earlier were presented by Peevesie’s Mom ji.
Today’s song is sung by Mohd Rafi. On screen it is Om Prakash who lip-syncs this song ‘praising the lord’ and seeking his help for ‘change of heart’ for Amjad Khan. I guess so, since Amjad Khan is also shown driving a car with a child artist in the picturisation of this song.
Let us listen to this beautiful song now…

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-
#Bhoole-Bisre Geet #
—————————————
Today’s song is from the 1977 movie ‘Solah Shukravaar’.
I was under the impression that this movie is already available on the blog, but it’s not the case. So, today we get introduced to this movie and it makes its debut on the blog.
It seems that this movie was inspired by the huge success of the movie ‘Jai Santoshi Maa-1975’. However, I do not remember this movie and either its songs.
‘Solah Shukravaar-1977’ was directed by Ashish Kumar (the hero of this movie and hero of ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’?), ‘Santoshimaata Pictures Bombay’.
It had Ashish Kumar, Prem Narayan, Bela Bose, Tarun Ghosh, Bharat Bhushan, Abhi Bhattacharya, Manhar Desai, Rajnibala, B.M. Vyas, Manik Dutt, Leelawati, Manik Chaudhary, Ramesh Deo, Anita Guha, Meenakshi, Indira Bansal, Polsan, Amarnath, Dilip Dutt, Master Ravi, Baby Sweety, S. Bannerjee, Anant Marathe, Anjana and others.
L.M. Gannu and Anuradha Guha made special appearance in this movie.
From the above star cast list we can see that many faces from the movie ‘Jai Santoshi Maa-1975’ were repeated in this movie.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 09.02.1977.
This movie had seven songs including one multiple version song.
Lyrics of all the songs were written by Ravindra Jain who also composed the music for this film.
Chandrani Mukherjee, Ravindra Jain, Aarti Mukherjee, and Hemlata had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Today’s song is sung by Ravindra Jain and on screen it is lip synced by Ashish Kumar. Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Prem Narayan, Anita Guha, Abhi Bhattacharya, and others.
Let us now listen to today’s song sung by Ravindra Jain.
With today’s song this movie ‘Solah Shukravaar-1977’ makes its debut in the blog.

Today’s song is from the film Majboori-1954.
The song-“Tere poojan ko Bhagwan, bana man mandir aalishan”- is a famous traditional song. Not only in a few Hindi films, but the song is also sung by many singers as NFS. No one knows how old this song is or who is the original Lyricist of this song. It is sung like a Bhajan by most people.
The known first record for this song was made in 1934.
When singer Shamshad Begum was discovered by music director Ghulam Haider, she was in her early teens. After talking to her father, she was taught this song and this became her first recorded song in Lahore for the record company Xenophone. Since the song was a Hindu bhajan, in order to avoid Hindu displeasure for a ” Muslim girl singing a Hindu devotional song “, her name on the record was mentioned as Radha Rani. This first song of Shamshad was posted on this Blog a few years back (on 30 may 2013).
The second time this song appeared was almost immediate. The actress-singer Rattanbai had come to Bombay from Calcutta. Her name in Calcutta made films and she having worked with a great artiste like Saigal, Rattanbai’s name was already well known and popular in Bombay. In her first film in Bombay ‘Bharat ki Beti’-1935, its Music Director Anil Biswas gave her this traditional song to sing in the film. The third time this song featured in a Hindi film was in the film Majboori-1954 (today’s song). It is sung by Asha Bhosale and Hamida Bano. Actually, this was Hamida Bano’s last song in India, because she migrated to Pakistan after this.
Thus while this song was the first song of Shamshad Begum as an NFS and first song of Rattanbai in a Bombay film, it was the last song of Hamida Bano in India !
( This traditional Bhajan Was also used as a Parody song in the film ” Shaadi”-1962. It was sung by Rafi and on screen by Omprakash.)
Similarly, there is another traditional Mujra song “Inhi logon ne le leena dupatta mera”, which is used in few films. First time this song appeared in the film “Himmat”-1941. By coincidence it was sung by Shamshad Begum. Next time it appeared in the film ” Aabroo”-1943, sung and enacted on screen by actor singer Yaqub. Third time, this song was used in the film “Pakeezah”-1972, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and on screen by Meena kumari.
Both these Traditional songs are sung as NFS by many singers from India and Pakistan as well.
If one looks keenly, one can find a few NFS written by Soordas, Kabir, Meerabai, Narsi Mehta and some other saints of India. These are sung by many famous and not so famous singers. Some of these have appeared in Hindi films also.
Film Majboori-1954 was made by Murli Movietone. It was directed by the producer Ram Daryani himself. The music was by Robin Chatterjee. He was born on 8-1-1914, at Calcutta. His name is not too well known to Hindi film lovers, though he was very famous in Bengal, where he composed several NFS and film songs. For many years he assisted Anupam Ghatak,MD. He even sang in the chorus for New Theatre’s film Adhikar-1938. However he was not so successful in Hindi films.
His first Hindi film was Rajlakshmi-1945, wherein he gave the first opportunity to Talat Mahmood to sing a Hindi film song. Till then he was singing Bangla NFS and film songs with the name Tapan kumar. His next film was Tum aur main-1946 which had very good songs by kanan Devi. Then came Voh Dono-1947 and here Sandhya Mukherjee gave good songs. Robin Chatterjee gave music to 14 Hindi films,namely – Rajlakshmi-45, Tum aur main-46, Voh Dono-47, Sabyasachi-48,Ratnadeep-51, Pehli Shadi-53, Firdaus-53, Shobha-54, Majboori-54, Africa-54, Dhake ki malmal-56, Miss Toofan mail-58, Police Station-59 and Chimney ka Dhuvan-1973…this was a much delayed film. He also gave music to a Bhojpuri film- Saiya se kar le milanwa-1966.
Robin Chatterjee died on 2-4-1976 at Bombay at the age of just 61 years.
The cast of the film Majboori-54 was Shyama, Balraj Sahni, Agha, kumar, Pramila and many others. There were 8 songs in the film. Some of the songs were recorded as “Chhoti Behan”, the original name for the film. Today’s song is the 5th song to be presented here. It is sung byAsha Bhosale and Hamida Bano, as per HFGK. After this film, Hamida Bano migrated to Pakistan.
Singer Hamida Bano was born on 19-10-1928, in Lahore. Her family shifted to Bombay in 1942, the same year as Geeta Roy’s family did. Hamida’s elder brother Akbar worked with a Drama company. He gave her the initial training in singing. This kindled a desire in her mind to sing in Hindi Films. Those days,the well known Actor/Director Master Bhagwan lived nearby. He once recommended her name to his best friend-C.Ramchandra. He was the MD for Bhagwan’s film “Naghma-e-Sahara “-1943. He gave her a break with 3 songs in this film. Unfortunately, this film got delayed and was released only in 1945. Meanwhile, Naushad had found her and he gave her a song in film ” Sanjog”-43 and she sang her first released song with Shyam kumar.
C.Ramchandra continued using her in films like Bahadur, Lalkar, Manorama, Raunaq, Sawan etc. In those years C.Ramchandra himself was not very famous-till his HIT films like Safar-46 and Shehnai-47 etc. So Hamida was not much benefitted by these songs. From 1945, it was composer Bulo C Rani, who used Hamida Bano for some really memorable songs like in the film ” Moorti”-45-Badariya baras gayi us paar . Then came Rajputani, Chheen le Azadi, Phulwari, Badi baat, Shahenshah Babar, Naseeb, Parayi aag, Preet, Devar, Dharti, Nek Parveen, Neelkamal, Tohfa and Rimjhim. After 1950 her songs became less and she sang in Bikhre Moti, Rajput, Anjaam,and Majboori-54-her last film in India. She sang about 125 odd songs in about 62 films.
In 1956, she migrated to Pakistan. In Karachi, she recorded some songs. Then she settled in Lahore and became active in social work. Occasionally, she was seen in functions like ” Nigar Awards Function ” etc. She continued singing on Lahore Radio. Hamida Bano died on 20-11-2006 at the age of 78 yrs. Her last song in India was with Asha in Majboori-1954-“Tere poojan ko Bhagwan bana Manmandir alishan”.
Let us now enjoy this traditional song…..

Hullo Atuldom
Day 1 of Sharad Navratr. Ashwin Navratr. Various names for the same festival, various ways to celebrate. I have received pictures of ‘Ghatta-sthapana’, ‘Devi Shailputri’, and of course the South Indian ‘Bomma Kolu’ (or Golu depending on your mother tongue). There is a lot of beauty in the manner in which we decorate our Gods and enjoy the festival. There are special offerings, poojas, archanas, bhajans and BHOJANS too (going by the name ‘Bhog’). Then there is the ever so colour raas garba in Western India, Gujarat and Maharashtra in particular. (May not be organised on a grand scale this year, as we are still worried about the consequences of the Pandemic. Grandeur can wait)
Here is a Devi Maa bhajan to kick-off the festivites. It is from the 1978 release ‘Khoon Ki Pukaar’, the synposis of which is there in this post. The movie was directed by Ramesh Ahuja for Tahir Hussain’s TV Films. It had songs penned by Hasrat Jaipuri and Gauhar Kanpuri and music director was Bappi Lahiri. Today’s song is sung by Mohd. Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar and on-screen, both, Pran and Vinod Khanna lip-sync to Rafisaab’s voice and Aruna Irani sings in Lata didi’s voice. We can also see Shabana Azmi and Reeta Bhaduri seated among the devotees of the temple.
As per what I have seen a few years back, this song is used by Amjad Khan (Daku Zaalim Singh) to send a message to Daku Sher Singh (VK); who is recovering under the care of pujari Baba (ex. Dr. Bhushan played by Pran); through Bijli (Aruna Irani). That should make viewers understand what Aruna Irani and VK are exchanging in sign language (‘ishaaron ishaaron mein’ sounds better, I suppose)
With this we also remember the ever oh-so-handsome and oh-so-good looking Vinod Khanna for his birth anniversary which was yesterday. He would have been only 75.

Mukesh and his Composers -21
————————————————
Did Mukesh act in ‘Uss Paar’ (1944)?
The correct and factual answer along with credible proof to the above question is of historical importance as it refers to the first ever payback rendered by Mukesh.
If Mukesh has not acted in the film, then apparently it will be his first playback.
If he has acted in some capacity, then there are again two possibilities.
- He was a side actor and the duet with Kusum was featured on him only.
- He had a role in the film, but said duet was picturized on someone else.
One song from ‘Uss Paar’ (1944) has been covered on the blog and it is in fact, the elephant in the room.
Sudhir ji in his extraordinary series ‘The voice of Mukesh’ has covered this duet with Kusum Mantri and has considered it to be the first playback of Mukesh.
All indications are that Mukesh did not act in the movie, but undeniable proof is yet to surface.
Coming to the next post in this series, we take up the career of Mukesh with composer-singer Bulo C Rani today.
Yes, I agree that Bulo C Rani had nothing to do with ‘Uss Paar’ (1944) as it was composed by Feroz Nizami.
But then while searching for some information on Bulo C. Rani, I happened to refer to the book Hindi Film Song by Ashok Da. Ranade. In his description of the works of Bulo C. Rani, Ashok ji in his book on p. 226 says about the film ‘Moorti’ (1945).
In it “badariya baras gai” – which was Mukesh’s first song as the composer often claimed with pride – won popularity.
There we go again. Was Bulo C Rani implying ‘Uss Paar’ duet of Mukesh was not his first playback. Since Bulo C. Rani was very much part of HFM during 1944 -1945, he must have known about Mukesh’s actor-singer songs to take the credit of composing the first song (playback) of Mukesh.
Matters get more complicated with Mukesh with many firsts such as first song, first playback, first popular song etc. And before all these we have his six NFS which he recorded in 1939 at Delhi before coming to Bombay.
When the question referred in the very first line of this post is addressed satisfactorily with proof, I intend to write a separate post on the many firsts of Mukesh with a detailed table.
Coming to the discussions on today’s collaboration, I am happy to bring forth the many memorable and sweet songs that Mukesh sang under the baton of Bulo C Rani.
Before I go into the details of the songs, here is a brief and bullet point summary on the life of Bulo C Rani much of it from the book referred above.
- He was born on 6 May 1920 in Hyderabad Sindh and his originally name was Bulo Chandiramani Ramchandani.
- He came to Bombay in 1942 with DN Madhok and joined Ranjit Films to assist Kemchand Prakash.
- In his initial part of film career, he sang a few songs under different composers.
- He is credited for composing for the first Sindhi film Abana (1958)
Apart from the above, I request interested readers to apprise themselves of the life and career of the composer with the following three links in which the respective authors have done enough and valuable research.

- https://mehfilmeinmeri.wordpress.com/2021/05/24/remembering-bulo-c-rani/
S.No | Name of song | Movie (Year of release) | Co-singer if any | Lyricist |
1 | Badariya baras gayi uss paar | Moorti (1945) | Khursheed and Hamida Bano | Pt Indra Chandra |
2 | Haseeno se haseeno ko | Moorti (1945) | Pt Indra Chandra | |
3 | Maana ke tum haseen ho | Moorti (1945) | Pt Indra Chandra | |
4 | Pardesi dhola | Prabhu Ka Ghar (1945) | Mohantara | Pt Indra Chandra |
5 | Jaa parwaane jaa | Rajputaani (1946) | Hamida Bano | Pt Indra Chandra |
6 | Kiye jaa pyaar | Rajputaani (1946) | Pt Indra Chandra | |
7 | Kaise bataaun unse | Anjuman (1948) | Shamshad Begam | Majrooh Sultanpuri |
8 | Woh teer kaleje par | Anjuman (1948) | Majrooh Sultanpuri | |
9 | Unki gali mein aaye hum | Nazaare (1949) | Rajinder Krishan | |
10 | Armaan bhara dil toot gaya | Wafa (1950) | Lata | Hasrat Jaipuri |
11 | Aansoo bhaavo tum udhar | Pyaar Ki Baaten (1951) | Geeta Roy | Majrooh Sultanpuri |
12 | Mast chaandni jhoom rahi | Pyaar Ki Baaten (1951) | Geeta Roy | M L Khanna |
13 | Ae Momino Suno Ye Kahani | Abdullah (1960) | Shewan Rizvi | |
14 | Ham bhi kho gaye hain | Madam Zorro (1962) | Kamal Barot | Shewan Rizvi |
15 | Main hoon deewaanaa | Haqdaar (1964) | Prem Warbartani |
The above table provides the complete table of songs composed by Bulo C Rani and sung by Mukesh. It appears, Mukesh was the favorite singer of the composer especially in the late forties and early fifties. Why the composer used Mukesh sparingly in the sixties is not clearly known.
Some beautiful ghazals and delightful duets were the hallmark of the combo. The melodious songs are well known to avid music lovers and I am avoiding describing them again.
As usual, Shri Harish ji has confirmed, correctness of the above table and added useful information that Mukesh sang for the composer, two more duets with Asha Hargunani for a Sindhi film Naqli Shaan (1972) with lyrics by Krishna Rahi.
- Ankh Phadke Dil Dhadke
- Haseen Raat Aa Mast Aa Fizaa
Out of the 15 songs enlisted above only one from the film ‘Abdullah’ (1960) remains to be covered on the blog and is presented in this post.
Song – Ae Momino Suno Ye Kahaani Namaaz Ki (Abdullah) (1960) Singer – Mukesh, Lyrics – Shewan Rizwi, MD – Bulo C Rani
Lyrics (Provided by Sudhir)
ae momino suno ye kahani namaz ki
hai hum pe farz bandagi banda nawaaz ki
ae momino suno ye kahani namaz ki
mulk e arab me ek haseena thi nek naam
karti thi apne rabb ki ibadadat wo subh o sham
usko namaaz padne ka bachpan se shauk tha
ik waqt ki namaaz bhi karti na thi kaza
nanha sa ek laal tha us paak baaz ka
gurbat me shukr karti thi wo beniyaaz ka
masoom bachcha bhookh se rota jo beqarar
pani pila pila ke thapakti thi bar bar
guzre isi tarah jo museebat me teen saal
shauhar ke dil me uspe safar ka hua khayal
shauhar ki bat sun ke wo majboor ho gayi
do dil ki ye judaai thi manjur ho gayi
biwi ko rota chhod ke jab ghar se wo chala
masoom bachcha baap se apne lipat gaya
samjha ke maa ne god me bachche ko le liya
wo chup rahi to ashqon ne haafiz khuda kaha
nikla ghareeb ghar se ghareeb ul watan hua
jungle ki tez dhoop me aur bhookh me chala
nagaah ek daku ki us par padi nazar
zalim ne mara zulm se ek teer taak kar
lagte hi teer dil pe wo chakra ke gir pada
waake mein teen waqt the duniya se chal basa
daaku karib aaya use dekhne laga
bhai ko murda dekh ke wo tharthara gaya
roya lipat lipat ke biraadar ki lash se
sar phodta tha apni hi bhai ko mar ke
kehta tha ro ke haaye ye kya maine kar diya
bhai ka khoon apne hi daman me bhar diya
munh peet’ta hua wo sehar ki taraf chala
bhabhi ko apne kehne ko pur dard maajra
ae momino suno ye kahani namaz ki
masroof har namaaz mein wo ek zaat thi
go din ki bhookh mein bhi thi mashgool e bandagi
daaku ne raah zal mein yaa shauhar ke bhai ne
tab aa ke tod daale ummeedon ke aaine
kehne laga suhaag tera maine le liya
apne hi haathon qatl biraadar ko kar diya
daaku gunehgaar ko rehban ko dekh le
khoon se bhara hua mere daaman ko dekh le
ye sun ke cheekhi aur wo behosh ho gayi
duniya se bekhabar wo gaflat mein so gayi
roi tadap ke khwaab mein shauhar ko dekh kar
dil tukde tukde ho gaya dilbar ko dekh kar
nanhe ka baazu thaam liya dil ko thaam kar
kehne lagi ke le chalo shauhar ki laash par
al qissa roti peet’ti pahunchi wo laash par
kadmon pe sar ko rakh diya shauhar ko dekh kar
fariyaad rabb se karne lagi ho ke beqaraar
utri falak beewi koi sun ke ye pukaar
haathon mein ek jaam tha munh par naqaab thi
rehmat baras rahi thi charaafa hijaab ki
wo beewi boli is pe chhidak de ye jaam tu
aur padh ke is se pooch le allah ka naam tu
paani chhidak ke naam e khuda us pe dam diya
kudrat khuda ki dekhiye wo murda jee utha. . .
ye dekh kar lipat gayi shauhar se wo ghareeb
kehne lagi ke mil gaya mujh ko mera habeeb
daaman pakad ke beewi ka phir poochhne lagi
tum kaun ho khudaara bata do ye raaz bhi
wo beewi boli main hi khuda ki namaaz hoon
maalik ki bandgi hoon barkat ka raaz hoon
apne namaazion ki main bigdi banaati hoon
apne namaazion pe main rehmat lutaati hoon
gaayab hua ye keh ke farishta namaaz ka
padh kar namaaz dekho karishma namaaz ka
padh kar namaaz dekho karishma namaaz ka. . .

Eid ul Azha mubarak ho, to all friends and readers.
It is generally believed that faith and logic are two different things. What is faith? Basic premise of faith would be the belief in God. The conviction that there is a Supreme Power who holds the strings of all things in the universe. After all the world is a stage and we all are actors. Shakespeare said it, but it is nothing but the truth. All of us are here for a set number of days, playing our designated roles, doing things we are destined to do, amassing good deeds and bad deeds. As we complete the life circle and leave this mortal world, the soul does go somewhere, where else it will go but to the creator? Logic has no option but to agree that the creator is in best position to answer the question, what is the purpose of creation? If there was no creator, nothing makes sense in the whole existence. Science can give answers till a certain point and that is that. Logic starts where science gives up. And sound logic points to God, the Creator, the Sustainer, the one who says “be” and it is.
I quote here some of the verses from the Glorious Quran.
“O Mankind, indeed we have created you male and female, and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you, in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, ALLAH is (all) knowing and (well) acquainted.” – 49:13
“And (O Muhommad) say: My Lord forgive and have mercy, for you are the best of all who show mercy.” – 23:118
“O mankind, there has come to you, a convincing proof (Prophet Muhammad) from your Lord and we send down to you a manifest light (this Quran).” – 4:174
“And whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] himself.” – 27:92
“And for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.” – 65:4
“Allah never changes the condition of people until they change what is in themselves.” – 13:11
“And put thy trust in Allah. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.” – 33:3
“Take care of your souls.” – 5:105
“Do not ridicule others, perhaps they may be better than you.” – 49:11
“If you are thankful, I will increase my blessings upon you.” – 14:7
“So remember me, I will remember you.” – 2:152
“He knows what is in every heart.” – 67:13
“Verily, with every hardship comes ease.” – 94:5
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.” – 2:286
“Do not lose hope, nor be sad, for you will overcome them, if you are among the believers.” – 3:139
“We will test you in fear, hunger, loss of wealth life & fruit, but give glad tiding to the patient (steadfast).” – 2:155
“Call upon me, I will respond to you.” – 40:60
“Indeed, Allah is with those who abide him and those who are doers of good.” -16:128
“Allah will provide for him from a quarter from where he had no expectation. And whosoever puts all his trust in Allah, He will be enough for him. Allah is in command and he has set a measure for all things.” – 65:3
“And worship your Lord until there comes into you the certainty/inevitable (death)” – 15:99
“You prefer the life of this world. Although the hereafter is better & more lasting.” 87:16-17
“And we have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars.” – 67:5
“The Pharoah’s wife said (Pray) My lord, build for me near you a house in paradise.” – 66:11
These ‘Aayaat’ are part of different Surah (Chapters) in the Quran, revealed at different times to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) (570-632 CE), during his Prophethood years (610-632 CE). Mohammed (PBUH) was unlettered with no formal education, and had rarely traveled outside of Makkah, before his migration (Hijraah) to Madinah. All ‘Aayaat’ of the Holy Quran were revealed to him, via the Angel Jibraeel (AS) at different times and in context of different situations. They were delivered as signs and guidance. These ‘Aayaat’ were then related by the Prophet (PBUH) to his companions (Sahaba), who recorded them in writing. All of these ‘Aayaat’ were recorded in the Prophet’s life time. It was collated/arranged in a meticulous way, in the form of different Surah’s of the Quran during the reign of Hazrat Abu-Bakr (RA) (573-634 CE), the first Khalifa, in the present compilation. Hazrat Umar (RA) had a great contribution in this process. There is great detail available about how the procedure was done, with verification of at least 2 witnesses that the Aayat is indeed written down in the presence of the Prophet. Different Surah’s are also classified as ‘Makkih’ and ‘Madnih’, those revealed before migration to Madinah and after.
How simple and easy, is the faith and the true path, can be discerned in these quotes. How wise is the counsel, for all situations? It answers some of the basic questions bothering the mankind, with intellectuals, philosophers, thinkers having scratched their heads for all these millennia. I have tried to collate them in an order, so it is in the order of creation, faith, trust, thankfulness, the true way of living, easy way of functioning as a creation, hope, the hereafter, the quest for heaven, how it is near and then the last one speaks of the wife of one (Pharoah-who denied the existence of Allah and declared himself as God) can ask (pray) for the highest level in Jannah (Paradise). It means, its available for everyone, one only has to seek it and ask for it, whatever and whoever you are. This may not be the best way of saying it, and if I have erred, may Allah (SWT) forgive me.
A brief definition of Jannah with a prayer:
Jannah, where there will be no sickness, no pain, no difficulty, no separation, no loss.
Jannah, its beauty such that no mind could even ever comprehend.
Jannah, where those you love are waiting for you.
Jannah, where your Allah is waiting for you.
Jannah, which is never ever going to end.
Remind yourself that this is the decree of Allah and in his decisions is hidden kindness. Remind yourself that it is not just going to be okay, but it is going to be worth it.
Dear heart, please just remind yourself that your Allah is with you. Please don’t ever forget that.
Your Allah is with you. Your Allah will never leave you.
He knows of your condition. He is aware of your struggle.
And not a single moment of this going by unrewarded.
Allah knows that you are scared, and it is okay to be scared.
Keep trusting your Allah. Don’t lose hope in His mercy. He is right here with you.
Feel it and treasure it.
———————————————————————————————————
On a different note, this is what Allama Iqbal has to say:
Sajdon ke ee’waz firdaus mile ye baat mujhe manzoor nahi
Be-laus i’baadat karta hoon banda hoon tera mazdoor nahi
Ee’waz or I’waz means in return of, and ‘Firdaus’ is Jannat/heaven/paradise in persian.
What Iqbal means is :
I am not doing salutations / ibaadat (supplication) and itaa’at (obedience / submission to the will of Almighty), so that you grant me heaven in return. My prayers are pure, as I am your slave and not a paid servant.
This is, but the highest point of devotion, that the pious seek.
One of those pious, righteous, seekers of the divine favour, was Umar Farooq (RA) (584-644 CE). Umar bin Khattab was the second Khalifa of the Khulfa-e-Rashideen. The status of Umar Farooq, as a Sahaba, companions of the Prophet (PBUH), as among the beloved and respected Khalifa, can be ascertained from the fact of his being one of the “Ashra Mubashra”. “Ashra Mubashra” are the 10 exalted ones among the Sahaba, who were given the ‘Good News’ or ‘Glad Tidings’. What would be the ‘Good News’ who have the clear idea of the purpose of creation, life and death? It is the achievement of securing a place in ‘Jannah’. So, by divine declaration, those 10 were given the Good News, that a place is secured in Jannah for them. The magnificent ten include all four Khulfa-e-Rashideen. Umar Farooq (RA)’s significance as a Khalifa and his role in the spread of Islamic empire much beyond the Arabian Peninsula is indisputable and incomparable. One more significant and important contribution of Umar Farooq (RA), is the introduction of Islamic calendar i.e. the Hijri calendar. There is a great deal to learn from his story, for he was one of the major detractors of the Prophet for a long time. But once he accepted that Mohammed is indeed the Messenger of Allah, and came into the fold of Islam, blessed by the Allah (SWT) and rose to great heights that he did.
I have read up a lot in recent days, so that I could give some accurate and concise information in this post. But if I go on, this post will never finish.
So, I will move to the song, which is a non-film song sung by Mukesh. The song is composed by Iqbal and lyricist is Shadaab Minai. Shadaab Minai is probably making a debut here with this song. The song is talking in detail of an incident i.e. a qissa during the reign of Umar Farooq (RA), the second Khalifa.
Tally of music director, lyricist and singer in the blog so far as follows:

Unless the Shadaab in the stats page is the same as Shadaab Minai, otherwise this is the first song written by Shadaab Minai in the blog.
This is a rare song, which I think few people may have heard before. I was not aware it until a few months ago, when it was shared by someone on WhatsApp.
Song – Hai Bahut Mashoor Ye Qissa Umar Farooq Ka (Mukesh – NFS) (1970), Singer – Mukesh, Lyrics – Shadaab Minai, MD – Iqbal
Lyrics
hai bahot mash-hoor ye qissa
Umar Farooq ka
aaj bhi duniyaa mein hai
charcha Umar Farooq ka
jab khilaafat ka sharf
haasil hua Farooq ko
momino ki fikr rehti thhi sadaa Farooq ko
kaam aate thhe har ek
majboor ke Hazrat Umar
shauq se karte thhe khud
har ek ki khidmat Umar
phirte phirte ek din
pahunche Umar ek ghar ke paas
dekhte kya hain
wahan baithhi hai ek aurat udaas
degchi chulhe pe thhi aur
ro rahe thhe us ke laal
jab kiya Hazrat Umar ne ja ke
aurat se sawaal
ro rahe hain kis liye bachche
yeh kya hai maajra
bhook se rote hain ye bachche
ye aurat ne kaha
bole Hazrat degchi mein
pak raha hai kya kaho
kis liye ghamgheen ho
jo kuchh bhi hai dukhda kaho
boli wo aurat ke paani se bhari hai degchi
kyun ke main bachchon ko behlaati hoon
is soorat se hi
uff taraste hain ye bachhche daane daane ke liye
kuchh nahi hai mere paas in ko khilaane ke liye
teesre din ka hai faqaa
mere bachchon par huzoor
mera koyi bhi yahaan wali nahin
nazdeek-o-dur
roye uss ko dekh kar iss haal mein
Hazrat Umar
aa gaye fauran hi bait-ul-maal mein Hazrat Umar
aata kapda ghee chhuaare aur raqam le kar Umar
ghamzada aurat ke ghar ki simt daude jaldtar
peetth par dekha Umar ke bojh to bola ghulaam
bojh uttha kar mujh ko chalne deejiye aye nek naam
ye Umar bole agar ye bojh main de doon tujhe ea
hashr ke din kya sazaa dega na jaane rab mujhe
de diya dukhiya ko sab saamaan la kar aap ne
aur khilaaya sab ko khaana pakaa kar aap ne
khaa liya bachchon ne aurat ne khaana jis ghadi
ho gaye Hazrat Umar khush dekh kar un ki khushi
aap ko de kar duaaen phir ye aurat ne kaha
kaash mil jaata koyi ham ko khalifa aap sa
ham gariboon ki Umar koyi khabar rakhte nahin
a’iysh mein hain mast dukhiyon par nazar rakhte nahin
le ke dukhiya ki baaton ka asar Hazrat Umar
khaamoshi se laut aaye apne ghar Hazrat Umar
subah us aurat ko Faarooq ne bulwa liya
aur wazifa us ka bait-ul-maal se jaari kiyaa
ho ke sharminda phir Umar ne aurat se kaha
dukh bahot pahunchaa hai tum ko
meri ghaflat se sada
tum mujhe kar do mu’aaf
itni hai meri iltejaa aa
tum jo mujh ko bakhsh do
bakhsh de mujh ko khudaa aa
saari duniyaa mein hai charcha
har kahin Farooq ka
koyi bhi insaaf mein
saani nahi Farooq ka
koyi bhi insaaf mein
saani nahi Farooq ka
