The greatest of all desert song, like ‘yeh duniya yeh mehfil'(Heer Ranjha) and ‘ae dil-e-naadaan’ (Razia Sultan), are already covered in this blog. Still there are some such songs remaining to be posted, so this quest of mine. Atul ji has magnanimously started a category of ‘desert’ song, for this series. So here is song no. 3 of this series.

I am delighted to find this song from Humaayun (1945), suggested by Kamath Sir. This is exactly the type of desert songs that I love. Since I have seen very few movies from the 40s, the chance of discovering such songs is very remote.

I have thought up an idea of doing a series on ‘desert songs’. Unfortunately most of the famous desert songs are already posted, and I am left with a residue of songs from the 80’s only. I have myself written the post of the songs of ‘Laila Majnoon’ (1976) most of which are in the desert. I request readers to help me in this regard and provide the name of such songs picturized in the desert from 50’s and 60’s .

I heard these lines in the inimitable voice of Mohammed Rafi yesterday on Radio Rafi. I was looking for details regarding this song in the Database at mohdrafi.com, so not paying much attention to the radio playing. As the words of the poem registered, it caught my attention. I managed to catch the last line in the audio clip “pujaari husn ka hoon main”.

This is the Rafi-Asha duet recorded for Neela Akash(1965) but not used in the movie. It is a shame that such a song could not find place in the movie and was relegated to anonymity. Some might say that the other songs used in the film were better than this so this was edged out. But I do not agree.

Here comes a party song, performed by Mehmood in the film “Neela Aakash”” (1965). All songs of this movie are marvellous, including the one removed/unused from the film. I will come to that song in the next post.

There are ways of discovering wondrous songs now. Radio was the main source where we heard old movie songs. Then for newer songs we had cassette players and C D players and also T V. With the accessibility of internet, I do not need any thing else to listen to songs but my laptop and net connection.
