Genius of Jaidev

Four songs from the 1977 film ‘Alaap’ has been already posted in this blog. this one second in my series will be the fifth one. I am not repeating the details of that film here, but will describe the scene depicted in the presentation.
Tawayaf Sarjubai, acted by Chhaya Devi, sings a soulful bandish in Raag ‘Desh’. She is remembering, in flashback, the pain of a prince of some state, Rajasaheb, acted by Sanjeev Kumar, who had just lost his beloved wife. Many tawayafs were patronized by princes for their singing talents during that period.
Jaidev , unlike the MDs of that era, utilized unknown or rarely heard singers as far as Hindi films are concerned. This duet is by two performing artists, Fayyaz (well known Marathi stage artist) and Bhupinder. (well known non-film gazal singer) I am sure this song will bring tears in the eyes to the sensitive souls and lovers of good music. May I invite you all to listen to this creation and wet the eyes with me?
PS-The audio of the solo version of the song is now uploaded by Sudhir ji alongwith the Devnagri lyrics. The two versions are identical except for one extra line repeated in the duet version at the end.

Poets as singers may not be an uncommon expectation. Poets are known for their singing prowess in mushairas and in kavi sammelans. They are expected to present their verses in ‘tarrannum’. However, not many have ventured into singing in the films. It is quite strange, because they are the one’s who best know the words, their intent, and their meaning. They also have a fair idea about an underlying melody that hides behind the meter and rhyme that they have created. Lyricist DN Madhok was famous for providing a basic ‘dhun’ to the music directors, for every song he wrote. But still, one does not find many singing in the films in their own voice.

Today, February 8th 2014 is the 73rd birth anniversary of Jagjit Singh ( 08/02/1941 – 10/10/2011) who is regarded as a catalyst in reviving ghazals as a form of singing not only in India but across the world. He transformed ghazal singing into an easier and acceptable form to suit the taste of masses. And what a coincidence! When Malika e ghazal, Begum Akhtar passed away in October 1974, Jagjit Singh was on the way up of becoming a popular ghazal singer when his first LP disc ‘The Unforgettable’ (1976) became commercially successful. So there was a sort of change of guard and handing over the baton of sorts in that Jagjit Singh took over the mantle of ghazal singing after the demise of Begum Akhtar.

Tum mere pass hote ho goya
Jab koi doosra nahi hota
Most of the readers of this blog may have known this she’r albeit with a minor variation in the song o mere shaah e khubaan written by Hasrat Jaipuri in ‘Love in Tokyo’ (1966). But how many of us would have known ( including me until few months back) that this original she’r was written by Momin Khan ‘Momin’, one of the prominent Urdu poets in the Mughal court during early 1800s. And what a beautiful romantic she’r!. Mirza Ghalib who was the contemporary and a close friend of Momin is reported to have offered his entire ‘Diwan e Ghalib’ for Momin’s this she’r, one among the nine she’rs in his ghazal ‘asar usko jaraa nahin hota’.

shahar ki raat aur main naashaad o naakaara phiroon
jagmagaati jaagti sadakon pe aawaara phiroon
ae gham e dil kya karoon
ae vahshat e dil kya karoon
This is the mukhda of a very popular song from the film ‘Thokar’ (1953). Most of the lovers of old Hindi film songs would know that the song was rendered by Talat Mehmood and there is a version song sung by Asha Bhonsle. Many among them may also be aware that the song was composed by music director Sardar Malik. But I am not sure as to how many would to know the name of the poet who created this beautiful nazm of despair and loneliness. I was one among them. Many years later, I came to know that it was the creation of Majaz. Then the next question – who was Majaz?. I had no inclination then in seeking an answer to this question.

HASEENA (1955) was produced under the banner of Shabaab Productions and directed by J P Advani. The star cast included Jairaj, Shyama, Krishna Kumari, Amarnath, Manmohan Krishna, Durga Khote etc. I had not heard of this film until few days back. With Jairaj in the film, my guess turned out to correct that the film was a costume drama as the story unfolds below.
