The Voice of Mukesh #29

The tapestry of the fables of love is never compete without the legendary saga of the flame and the moth – much better represented in the Urdu zubaan as Shama aur Parwaana. Somehow, the English equivalents of some of the more profound words and concepts in Hindi and Urdu, simply do not carry the same weight and substance. The English equivalents are a poor excuse to express that which is alien to that language. Shama and Parwaana are an example of such translation dilemmas. There seems to be no adequately authoritative word in the English language to convey the same sentiments in totality.

I was in school when the songs of this film hit the radio waves. The film apparently made almost no impact, for I did not register its name or other details ever. And it was only after joining Song-a-Day team, that I came to know about the details of this film, even its name. A while back I had posted one song from this film – “Ye Dil Nasheen Nazaare Karte Hain Kya Ishaare”, and that was when I searched for and found the details of this film. And it was then that I realized that three of the new favorites (referring to the time I was in school) are all from the same film ‘Pyaase Dil’ (1974). (Ah yes, Prakash ji, after reading your comment, I thought more wait is not good to get this third song in 🙂 ).

And so wrote the scribe – “Yaadon Ka Sahaara Na Hota, Hum Chhod Ke Duniya Chal Dete” .
Thirty seven years to date. The life and the world has moved on, as it always does. It is the everyday drudgery and the process of existence, that makes life continue with what it is. But it is the memories of the sounds of dear ones that make life beautiful, and livable. Memories, that are frozen in time, for they are past and will never be alive and here again today. And yet, these memories live, in the minds, in remembrances, and in the sounds captured in technology. Ah yes, it is these sounds that make is possible to exist, with the drudgery of everyday existence.
