There were a number of Urdu poets during the golden era of Hindi film music that also ran in the contest of attaining the prime slots as lyricists in Hindi films. By early 60s, most of them had either disappeared from the scene or they were marginalised. A few of them had migrated to Pakistan to try their luck there. The names of some of such lyricists who come to my mind are Nakshab, Anjum Philibiti, Zia Sarhadi, Behzad Lucknowi, Aziz Kashmiri, Shewan Rizvi, Noor Lucknowi, Khumar Barabankvi etc. Some of them were also script/screenplay writers at one time or the other.

Wow, what a song this one is. I am hearing it for the first time, and it has just taken over my heart and mind. The composition seems to have an earthy simplicity that is just so endearing.

Ah, the good feeling of having met one small success. Friends and readers will remember from earlier posts in this series, that we are running short of three songs in the journey of completing all that Mukesh has sung for Hindi films. Well, that number reduces to two today. 🙂
