What a delightful song this is ! I have never heard this song before today. And luckily the picturization is as appealing as the audio. This is a stage song from film Ek Nazar, written by Rajendra Krishan and composed by S. D. Burman, master of duets in my humble opinion. The fact of this being a Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi duet is added bonus as i was looking for a duet by these two to discuss.

I became aware of the movie when farmaish for a song of this movie was given by a reader some two years back. The reader had mentioned the movie as “Banu” which was a typo and as a result my search was delayed. Finally I located the song. Being able to home in on this elusive song gave me tremendous satisfaction. That song was the first song from this movie to be posted in this blog. Subsequently I have discussed two more songs from this movie.

I have been thinking for the last few days that it is high time that I make a serious attempt to do a write up. More than 200 song lyrics (Provided) by me are already posted here. When I found this blog in January last year, it was like I found heaven on the net. I was just sorry that 3000 plus songs were already discussed and I had found it so late. By then I was almost cut off from old hindi films, since I was engrossed in life’s issues and challenges. Radio channels like vividh bharati and All India Radio (Urdu Service), once my best friends, were a thing of the past that no longer figured in my life. My deep interest in film songs occasionally brought me to Youtube to find some song or the other which came to mind.

R D Burman in 1970s was mostly known for composing songs that dazzled the senses. But he could also compose songs that touched the heart strings of the listeners. He tended to create the later kind of songs when he tied up with Gulzar as a lyricist. That way R D Burman was somewhat similar to Kishore Kumar who was known to be a happy go lucky character most of the time but when he produced movies, then most of his movies (with the exception of “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi”) were serious movies.

When one is disturbed, there is nothing like a soothing bhajan to calm one’s nerves. The music and the singing of the bhajan has a calming influence on the mind, and the philosophical content of the lyrics makes us see things in perspective. Bhajans make us realise that living creatures (including humans) are mortals and we are mere puppets in the grand scheme of things. Things are not supposed to work out according to our wishes, so we should better reconcile ourselves with whatever is in store for us.
