Zulfon ke saaye
Rukh pe giraaye
Shaidaayi mere
Dil ko banaaye
Shabnam ke moti
Pal pal pirotaa hai
Kya karun haay
Kuchh kuchh hotaa hai
The above is the mukhda first written for this song Tum paas aaye yoon muskuraaye ), which is the only song which is so far posted in the blog of the film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai(1998)”. The lyricist Sameer Anjaan wrote this mukhda first, which was rejected by Karan Johar and then he rewrote it as ‘tum paas aaye yoon mukuraaye” used for the song.
Without meaning to or searching for them, I have now seen lengthy interviews of two celebrities connected with this film. I even saw 15-minute-long climax scene of this film. So much help from youtube I never expected, but glad that it did.

ہر ایک بات پہ کہتے ہو تم کہ تو کیا ہے
تمہیں کہو کہ یہ انداز گفتگو کیا ہے
نہ شعلہ میں یہ کرشمہ نہ برق میں یہ ادا
کوئی بتاؤ کہ وہ شوخ تند خو کیا ہے
یہ رشک ہے کہ وہ ہوتا ہے ہم سخن تم سے
وگرنہ خوف بد آموزی عدو کیا ہے
چپک رہا ہے بدن پر لہو سے پیراہن
ہمارے جیب کو اب حاجت رفو کیا ہے
جلا ہے جسم جہاں دل بھی جل گیا ہوگا
کریدتے ہو جو اب راکھ جستجو کیا ہے
رگوں میں دوڑتے پھرنے کے ہم نہیں قائل
جب آنکھ ہی سے نہ ٹپکا تو پھر لہو کیا ہے
وہ چیز جس کے لیے ہم کو ہو بہشت عزیز
سوائے بادۂ گلفام مشک بو کیا ہے
پیوں شراب اگر خم بھی دیکھ لوں دو چار
یہ شیشہ و قدح و کوزہ و سبو کیا ہے
رہی نہ طاقت گفتار اور اگر ہو بھی
تو کس امید پہ کہیے کہ آرزو کیا ہے
ہوا ہے شہہ کا مصاحب پھرے ہے اتراتا
وگرنہ شہر میں غالبؔ کی آبرو کیا ہے
हर एक बात पे कहते हो तुम कि तू क्या है
तुम्हीं कहो कि ये अंदाज़-ए-गुफ़्तुगू क्या है
न शो’ले में ये करिश्मा न बर्क़ में ये अदा
कोई बताओ कि वो शोख़-ए-तुंद-ख़ू क्या है
ये रश्क है कि वो होता है हम-सुख़न तुम से
वगर्ना ख़ौफ़-ए-बद-आमोज़ी-ए-अदू क्या है
चिपक रहा है बदन पर लहू से पैराहन
हमारे जैब को अब हाजत-ए-रफ़ू क्या है
जला है जिस्म जहाँ दिल भी जल गया होगा
कुरेदते हो जो अब राख जुस्तुजू क्या है
रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं क़ाइल
जब आँख ही से न टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है
वो चीज़ जिस के लिए हम को हो बहिश्त अज़ीज़
सिवाए बादा-ए-गुलफ़ाम-ए-मुश्क-बू क्या है
पियूँ शराब अगर ख़ुम भी देख लूँ दो-चार
ये शीशा ओ क़दह ओ कूज़ा ओ सुबू क्या है
रही न ताक़त-ए-गुफ़्तार और अगर हो भी
तो किस उमीद पे कहिए कि आरज़ू क्या है
हुआ है शह का मुसाहिब फिरे है इतराता
वगर्ना शहर में ‘ग़ालिब’ की आबरू क्या है
No need to say here that the above ghazal is the kalam of Mirza Ghalib. His takhallus is his signature in the last Shair. Like the painters sign at the bottom of the canvas. Newer trend here is the thumb impression, biometric is the new signature. Going back in time.
The trigger for the above ghazal is here in the last stanza of this song:
aakaash se taare toot padey
aankh se tapki jo meri daastaan

After that qawwali like fusion wedding song from “Bombay”, I remembered a few filmy qawwalis from the 21st century. Several of them are composed by ARR, so there is a possibility of at least one more qawwali in that series. There is another one from the 90’s which should follow in the next few days.
After the top one “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” many people consider “parda hai parda hai” to be second most liked and famous qawwali in Rafi Sahab’s songs. I am sceptical about this rating. I have personally always liked “pal do pal ka saathh hamaara” and “Hai agar dushman” better than the hugely popular “Parda hai parda hai”. This qawwali is performed in most of the shows of Rafi Sahab songs. That is fine, as someone remarked, that it is a more engaging one and singers enjoy performing it. That makes it a favourite for the singers too. So, it has somethings going for it. I just wish that the singers try other equally appealing and engaging qawwalis too. All of them are trying to touch the benchmark, in playback singing left by Rafi Sahab. Some say that the textbook is written, and ink dried, and they just need to open the pages and try and absorb.

ہوا جو پیوند میں زمیں کا تو دل ہوا شاد مجھ حزیں کا
بس اب ارادہ نہیں کہیں کا کہ رہنے والا ہوں میں یہیں کا
قریب ہے یارو روز محشر چھپے گا کشتوں کا خون کیوں کر
جو چپ رہے گی زبان خنجر لہو پکارے گا آستیں کا
ہوائے مے میں ہوں محو ایسا چمن میں گھر کر جو ابر آیا
سیہ مستی میں میں یہ سمجھا جہاز ہے آب آتشیں کا
امیرؔ دیکھا جو اس کا نقشہ تو نقشہ یوسف کا دل سے اترا
کہ نقش ثانی کے آگے ہوتا فروغ کیا نقش اولیں کا
हुआ जो पैवंद मैं ज़मीं का तो दिल हुआ शाद मुझ हज़ीं का
बस अब इरादा नहीं कहीं का कि रहने वाला हूँ मैं यहीं का
क़रीब है यारो रोज़-ए-महशर छुपेगा कुश्तों का ख़ून क्यूँ-कर
जो चुप रहेगी ज़बान-ए-ख़ंजर लहू पुकारेगा आस्तीं का
हवा-ए-मय में हूँ महव ऐसा चमन में घिर कर जो अब्र आया
सियह-मस्ती में मैं ये समझा जहाज़ है आब-ए-आतशीं का
‘अमीर’ देखा जो उस का नक़्शा तो नक़्शा यूसुफ़ का दिल से उतरा
कि नक़्श-ए-सानी के आगे होता फ़रोग़ क्या नक़्श-ए-अव्वलीं का
(Ameer Minai)
The above is the complete ghazal by Ameer Minai. The famous line “Jo chup rahegi zubaan e khanjar, lahu pukaregaa aasteen ka” is partly used in the last stanza of this song posted recently. Since the famous line is the crux of the matter, and full ghazal is the complete story, so given above as food for thought.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 11
Finally, I come to this wedding song, semi-qawwali from the 1995 film Bombay. It is an essential song in the ARR series, as a personal favourite for all these years. The essence of this composition is undoubtedly K. S. Chitra’s rendition of this Hindi version. I can’t say much about the Tamil version, as the words are not comprehendible to me. Each language has its own sounds, and nuances of them. An ignorant person cannot fathom them. May be the regulars knowing Tamil will be able to describe, what I am unable to say here.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 10
The sad and pensive songs have about 30% share in all Bollywood songs. Romantic songs will be a little above at 40%. This is a hazardous line of guessing data game. As there are 100% of them, the rest of 30% shall go in which account? They will be the inane, fillers, comic relief, or item numbers. There are less songs now then the golden era, so there is less or everything. Less of meaningless, song fillers, bathroom break type of songs.
Sad songs of ARR are a special breed. Most award winning songs of other musicians are sad songs, not so for ARR. ARR has more dance songs winning accolades. “Jai Ho” in ‘Slumdog Millionaire” is a case in point. I am not sure where to fit “chanda re chanda re”. It is a romantic song with dance/rhythm.
I am posting here a sad song here from the 2015 film “Tamasha”.One song from the film is posted in the blog. I believe I have seen this film in bits and patches, so cannot recall much.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the famous line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” means names are mere labels, arbitrary conventions that do not define the essence or true quality of a thing (or person). Juliet says this to Romeo, lamenting that his family name (Montague) is the only barrier to their love, as his actual person is still wonderful regardless of that name.

Remembering Mohammed Rafi Sahab – 101st Birth Anniversary
“Naghmon ka karwaan” is unleashed with this one name. We the Rafians are not in the mood to yet finish the centenary celebrations. The celebrated artist, the legend is celebrated everyday in various forms, through his songs, through the many fans, ever increasing, with newly exposed people. Though all the songs are 4 decades old, but somehow, they never grow old. The younger generation of new fans is ever increasing, and fan clubs abound in the whole world. The musically aware people, when they become aware of the phenomena called Mohammed Rafi, they are surprised and shocked, that where was he, all this while, how come they did not know of him. Then they come to know, that there lived a playback singer in India, who left for heavenly abode on 31st July 1980. But the songs and voice lives on, in the hearts and in the sound waves of the world.
