This is one of those few songs that Mohammed Rafi sang for Music Director Anil Biswas for the film ‘Heer’ (1956). Eight songs from this film already posted in the blog. They are all very touching song. This is a film on the legend of Heer-Ranjha, a folk lore of Punjab. Much of the folk music and poetry from this region is devoted to such legendary love stories like Heer-Ranjha, Sohni-Mahiwal and Mirza-Sahibaan. This song ‘ le ja uss ki du’aayen ho jo tera ho na sakaa ‘ is the ninth song to appear in the blog.

The film “Baghaawat” (1982) must be a typical Sultan Ahmed film. It is easy to guess this much from this one song only which I knew from the days it was a new and popular song and played regularly on Radio. I have seen this song also earlier maybe on T.V. because I hav’nt seen this film. A few days back, maybe weeks,
one similar situation song was posted on the blog, which brought this song to mind. I searched and found the link, and been wanting to discuss this song since then.

I some how reach a Majrooh Sultanpuri song very often. This one is a comic song in the film Maaya (1961). The music director for this film is Salil Chaudhary and it is written by Majrooh. Mohammad Rafi is singing this solo song for Agha. Helen is also seen in the picturization. Agha and Helen are indulging in western style dance using props. Helen is brandishing a small purse and Agha has two props, a hat and a walking stick to dance with. They are also using some extra artist standing around, as ‘Ellora Ajanta Qutub Minar” and Dilli, Bombay and Calcutta.

This song is a title song picturized with the titles of the film. Come to think of it, Jagdeep was lip synching Rafi songs as far back as in 1956. In this song, he is doing a Charlie Chaplin like comeo scene of getting up in the morning and greeting the birds, hence the song is ‘ lo bhor huyi panchhi nikle ‘ .

We are having exactly 400 songs composed by S D Burman, 647 of Majrooh and 2210 songs by Lata Mangeshkar in the blog. I am wondering exactly how many of these songs composed by S D Burman are written by Majrooh and sung by Lata. If such an information about all songs of S D Burman or Lata or Majrooh was available in one place in the excel sheet format, than it would be so easy to access that figure.

“Baahren phir bhi aayengi” (1966) is a film now remembered as the last production of Guru Dutt and some of the beautiful songs like Aapke haseen rukh pe aaj bada noor hai . I have found this nice duet from the film sung by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle. The music of this film is as can be guessed from the composition is by O. P. Nayyar. And the lyricist is Shevan Rizvi.

Now it is finally the time for this song. This is waiting in the sidelines for almost two years now. I sent the lyrics for this song long back. And as I do usually, I had been waiting patiently for this song to be be posted.
