Ta’areef uss khuda ki jis ne jahaan banaaya – Non-Film Song (Jagjit & Chitra Singh)
तारीफ़ उस ख़ुदा की जिस ने जहां बनाया
कैसी ज़मीं बनाई क्या आसमां बनाया
पांव तले बिछाया क्या ख़ूब फ़र्श-ए-ख़ाकी
और सर पे लाजवर्दी इक साएबां बनाया
मिट्टी से बेल-बूटे क्या ख़ुशनुमा उगाए
पहना के सब्ज़ ख़िलअत उन को जवां बनाया
ख़ुश-रंग और ख़ुशबू गुल फूल हैं खिलाए
इस ख़ाक के खंडर को क्या गुलिस्तां बनाया
मेवे लगाए क्या क्या ख़ुश-ज़ाएक़ा रसीले
चखने से जिन के मुझ को शीरीं-दहां बनाया
सूरज बना के तू ने रौनक़ जहां को बख़्शी
रहने को ये हमारे अच्छा मकां बनाया
प्यासी ज़मीं के मुंह में मेंह का चुवाया पानी
और बादलों को तू ने मेंह का निशां बनाया
ये प्यारी प्यारी चिड़ियां फिरती हैं जो चहकती
क़ुदरत ने तेरी उन को तस्बीह-ख़्वां बनाया
तिनके उठा उठा कर लाईं कहां कहां से
किस ख़ूब-सूरती से फिर आशियां बनाया
ऊंची उड़ें हवा में बच्चों को पर न भूलें
इन बे-परों का उन को रोज़ी-रसां बनाया
क्या दूध देने वाली गाएं बनाईं तू ने
चढ़ने को मेरे घोड़ा क्या ख़ुश-इनां बनाया
रहमत से तेरी क्या क्या हैं नेमतें मयस्सर
इन नेमतों का मुझ को है क़द्र-दां बनाया
आब-ए-रवां के अंदर मछली बनाई तू ने
मछली के तैरने को आब-ए-रवां बनाया
हर चीज़ से है तेरी कारीगरी टपकती
ये कारख़ाना तू ने कब राएगां बनाया

I have a list of ‘Yaad” songs to post. This being a classic “yaad” song, with the oft repeated line “Teri Yaad Saathh hai”. This song is unforgettable in many aspects. Over the years, I have wanted to post this one. Whenever Raahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is heard, this is the song I remember every time. So consistent is the association.
After visiting UK and London in 2021, I looked up this song but could not find the link with such visuals which are here in the full audio version. Video clip is small with the song playing in the background, when Rishi Kapoor visits India and taking his wife and daughter Katrina Kaif around and they visit all the important places of worship, mostly in north India and the trip ends with the Taj Mahal visit. In the full audio version, the whole films scenes and story is related in partly present and flashback. I have seen the film 2-3 times. It makes a good watch, light romance and decent songs.

The last “Sarfaroshi ki tamanna” posted in the blog is this. That’s the ARR composition of the famous ghazal by Bismil Azimabadi.
ARR has one more composition of the same ghazal yet to be posted in the blog. I am planning to post that also in due time.
I know I have said this before too, that the relevance of Urdu poetry is a growing force, in our world. It is taken to one level by the connoisseurs, who treat it with reverence. And it has the vivacity to make a commoner want to reach out and learn the nuances of Urdu. People who have no connection or inclination towards classical poetry of any genre or language, are known to have “Takiya kalam” in Urdu. It is not just the poetry that has survived the test of time, it is the idioms and phrases, rooted in the culture of the society, the gunga-jamuni Tehzeeb and the ‘Mu’atabar” sounds, which made Gulzar say:

Some years ago, I did start to write post of some colourful songs, shot outdoors. There are so many of them in hindi films, especially in colour movies, that they are countless. I have a weakness for scenic waterfalls, mountains, lakes, snow peaks, rivers, huge trees etc.
Today, I have dropped two posts in preparation, as I realized belatedly that they are posted. One had Dharmendra and other had Vinod Mehra, incidentally, singing Rafi solos, in Kashmir.
In my posts of the song “Jiya Jiya Re” (Jab Tak hai Jaan) I have mentioned that there must be reels and reels of footage shot of mountains, rivers of naturally beautiful locations in Kashmir, which were not used. For photographers would not be able to resist. In fact in one of the songs mentioned above, they had used shot visuals in the song, without the actors actually going there and shooting for the song. The shots looked like amalgamated with the actors singing in greenery.

This movie’s story happens on a cruise ship. Cruise ship travel is still out of affordability area for the common people in India. I do not know anyone who does this type of travel or holidays. The way of life involving Yachts, Marinas and Cruise ships is very foreign to India. I saw one cruise ship in Liverpool. I saw some people who were from that ship roaming around the harbour area, with the Beatles museum, and the eateries, a very ordinary boat ride around the inner harbour/backwaters. They stood out as they were not casual tourists. At least I thought so, as I pride myself on my powers of observation and differentiation.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 8
The film “Dil Se” released in 1998, and by this time A. R. Rehman, has revolutionized the Hindi film music. With the south Indian flavour to his compositions, with various talented singers from the region were flooding the hindi film music world. Mostly his films would be originally made in Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam, and later remade in hindi or sometimes just dubbed in hindi.
His music and rerecording the songs in hindi required, rewriting the lyrics in hindi/urdu to mean and sound the same in hindi films. It was a difficult task for lyricists like Mehboob and later on Gulzar to retain the meaning and spirit of the earlier songs, while converting them for the larger hindi film audience.
