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.

There are some people, who are in our lives, not related to us by blood, but are a very important part of our daily lives. Whom we meet every day, they come and wish us in the morning, they serve us, do a job for us to make our life easier. Yet some form an affinity, a well-wishing, non-interfering, loyal, non-judgmental, they are a friend of the family. Your children, your neighbor’s family, your acquaintances, your relatives, family members in far off and nearby places, your colleagues, your business associates, or whomever you come in regular contact with, associate that person as your so and so.

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.
