Music for this movie was composed by J.P. Kaushik.
Here is the list of songs in this movie:-
| SNo | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s | Posted On |

| 01 | Toone samjha hi nahin kya hai haqeeqat meri | Jafri | Vijaya Majumdar | 27.07.2019 |

It can be seen from the above table that this movie had made its debut on the blog on 17.05.2017 with a detailed post about Khawaja Ahmed Abbas and this film by our Shri Sudhir Kapoor ji. (Interested readers can read that article posted on 17.05.2017).
One more song was added to this movie on 27.07.2019.
The song being discussed is the third song from this movie being presented today.
This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and it is lip synced on screen by Dileep Raj. This song is part of a ‘mushaaira’.
In the movie this recitation takes place after a ‘nazm’ recitation by the actress Surekha viz ‘toone samjhi hi nahin kya hai haqeeqat meri’. The actor Dileep Raj who plays a son of the ‘Nawaab’ Prithvi Raj Kapoor in the movie presents another ‘nazm’ in response. Both of them love each other but their ‘social status’ is preventing them from marrying each other. At the end of the movie, all this is ‘happily resolved’ as mentioned by Sudhir ji in his post here.
We have some beautiful verses written by Ali Sardar Jafri and recited by Mahendra Kapoor. The video of the song has no music in it while the audio recording of the song is accompanied by music.
Let us now enjoy this song from ‘Aasmaan Mahal-1965’…

Lyrics
khubsoorat hai teri tarah

dil ke sheeshe mein utar aayi
hai soorat teri ee
khubsoorat hai teri tarah
shikaayat teri ee
khubsoorat hai
tujhko yoon dekha hai
jis tarah chaman ko dekhen

ibaatdat teri ee
khubsoorat hai teri tarah
shikaayat teri ee
khubsoorat hai
dil wo jannat hai ke
mahlon ke khandahar kuchh bhi nahin
daaman e ishq mein
laal aur gohar kuchh bhi nahin
dard daulat hai meri
dard hi daulat teri ee
khubsoorat hai teri tarah
shikaayat teri ee

mil ke ham saare
zamaane ko badal sakte hain ae
jaise phoolon pe chalen
aag pe chal sakte hain aen
shart bas ye hai ke
mil jaaye rafaaqat teri ee
khubsoorat hai teri tarah
shikaayat teri ee
khubsoorat hai
Nahin Ishq Mein Is Ka To Ranj Hamen

Rafi Sb.
So much written about him. So much said. The words have ended. But the emotions continue to flow. So much more remains unsaid. So much more still waits. But the articulation struggles to create new epithets, define new qualifiers that may go beyond, and say a little more about this Divine Voice, about this persona so aptly described as God’s Own.
And yet, some more, little more. As it is, there are still many more songs in his voice that have to be brought on board here on our blog. I bring today a short ghazal of three couplets, that is indeed an abbreviated version. The poet who wrote these lines is Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor. As a character in history – the last Emperor of the glorious Mughal dynasty, he appears in some films. One of them is ‘Mirza Ghalib’ (1954).
There is a scene of the Royal Darbaar – Deewaan e Aam, in which a mushaira is being held. The Emperor himself is presiding. And being an accomplished and an acknowledged poet himself, he is also one of the presenters. Rather he is the premier presenter – his kalaam is read as the first presentation in the mushaira. The actor reading the kalaam is Sadiq. [Author’s Note: This info is provided by Ahsaan Qasim.]
Only three she’ers (couplets) of one of Bahadur Shah Zafar’s original ghazal are presented. And the voice behind this poetry is that of Rafi Sb. The video clip of this mushaira is available on YouTube. I am presenting the extracted audio of the portion that is sung by Rafi Sb. This is a short one and a half minute presentation that is neither listed in Geet Kosh and is not available on any released gramophone records of this film.
In the film ‘Mirza Ghalib’, all the listed songs except one are rendered by Talat Mehmood. The one exception is in the voice of Rafi Sb – the ghazal “Hai Bas Ke Har Ek Unke Ishaare Mein Nishaan Aur”. This partial ghazal now adds one more song in this film which is rendered by Rafi Sb.
Today morning, a dear friend Amol Saraf sent me a piece of his own writing that he has written for Rafi Sb. Amol ji is US based, and a lover of Hindi film music. And yes, that is the reason that we have connected, being part of an online group that meets once a week. After we got introduced on this forum, we have had long telephone conversations, about ourselves and our intense interest in Hindi film songs.
With his indulgence, I share this piece here. All the words that he has composed for Rafi Sb, leave almost nothing more to be said at present. A wonderful eulogy that appropriately honors the great soul.
मरहूम मुहम्मद रफी साहब

उनकी रुह को नेमत अताह करें।आमीन

After reading the above lines, nothing more really remains to be said. The accolades continue to echo. The memories endure, the music sustains, the voice – Divine Voice, persists and prevails over all creation.

Song – Nahin Ishq Mein Is Ka To Ranj Hamen (Mirza Ghalib) (1954) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics – Bahadur Shah Zafar, MD – Ghulam Mohammed
Lyrics
nahin ishq mein is ka to ranj hamen
ke qaraar o shaqeb zara na raha
gham e ishq to apna rafeeq raha
koi aur balaa se raha naa raha
na thi haal ki jab hamen apni khabar
rahe dekhte auron ke aib o hunar
padi apni buraaion pe jo nazar
to nigaah mein koi bura na raha
zafar aadmi usko na jaaniyega
ho wo kaisa hi saahib e fehm o zaqaa
jise aish mein yaad e khuda na rahi
jise taish mein khauf e khuda na raha

नहीं इश्क़ में इसका तो रंज हमें
के करार ओ शक़ेब ज़रा ना रहा
ग़म ए इश्क़ तो अपना रफ़ीक़ रहा
कोई और बला से रहा ना रहा
ना थी हाल की जब हमें अपनी खबर
रहे देखते औरों के ऐब ओ हुनर
पड़ी अपनी बुराइयों पे जो नज़र
तो निगाह में कोई बुरा ना रहा
जफर आदमी उसको ना जानिएगा
हो वो कैसा ही साहिब ए फ़हम ओ ज़क़ा
जिसे ऐश में याद ए खुदा ना रही
जिसे तैश में खौफ ए खुदा ना रहा
Bataao Tumhen Pyaar Kaise Karoon

We are in the fag-end of the month of June of this year 2022. As I had mentioned earlier that this month is a special for many of us due to the many anniversaries falling in this month i.e., anniversaries of relatives, friends and as well as anniversaries of many artists too. Today we celebrate birth anniversary of our beloved music genius Rahul Dev Burman, and one post has already been posted on the blog remembering Pancham.
Today 27th June, 2022 is also the seventy-second birth anniversary of singer Nitin Mukesh (born on 27th June, 1950). We wish him a very happy birthday today and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.
On this occasion I am once again going back to the songs from the movie ‘Santosh’ (1989). There is one duet sung by Nitin Mukesh and Asha Bhonsle in this movie which is yet to be posted on the blog. This song is lying ready with us since long and I take this opportunity to present it today here on the blog.
‘Santosh’ was an East-n-West Movies presentation. It was produced and directed by Balbir Wadhawan. Hansraj Wadhawan was the production controller of this movie. It has Manoj Kumar, Rakhee, Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Prem Chopra, Nirupa Roy, Kamini Kaushal, Amjad Khan, Madan Puri, Sarika, Abhi Bhattacharya, Krishna Dhawan, Pichoo Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Praveen Kumar, and others. Story of ‘Santosh’ is written by Kaushal Bharti. Editing of this movie was done by VV Kamat (assisted by Ashok Naik).
This movie has seven songs written by Santosh Anand (six songs) and Manoj Kumar (one song). Music for this movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. I have earlier mentioned the details of the songs of this movie in my previous posts, so I am not going to repeat them again here.
As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Nitin Mukesh and Asha Bhonsle and on screen it is lip-synced by Manoj Kumar and Hema Malini. This song is a nice duet to watch and listen.
Let us enjoy this beautiful song now …
Bataao tumhe pyaar kaise karoon

Song – Bataao Tumhen Pyaar Kaise Karoon (Santosh) (1989) Singers – Asha Bhosle, Nitin Mukesh, Lyrics – Santosh Anand, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal
Lyrics
ye aankhon se aankhon ka milna hai kya
bina bole hothon ka hilna hai kya
mujhe inka matlab to samjhaaiye
khayaalon mein phoolon ka khilna hai kya
na yun chup raho mujhko aawaz do
mujhe ghut ke marne ki aadat nahin
bataao tumhe ae …
bataao tumhe pyaar kaise karoon
bataao tumhe pyaar kaise karoon
mujhe pyaar karne ki aadat nahin
main jaisa bhi hoon
haan
jaisa bhi hoon
saamne hoon khadaa aa
mujhe kuchh chhupaane ki aadat nahin
bataao tumhe pyaar kaise karoon
mujhe pyaar karne ki aadat nahin
ye aankhon se aankhon ka milna hai kya
ye aankhon se aankhon ka milna hai kya
bina bole hothon ka hilna hai kya
mujhe inka matlab to samjhaaiye
khayaalon mein phoolon ka khilna hai kya
na yun chup raho mujhko aawaz do
na yun chup raho mujhko aawaz do
mujhe ghut ke marne ki aadat nahin
mujhe itni fursat mili hai kahaan
mujhe itni fursat mili hai kahaan
jo padhta tumhaare nayan ki ghazal
mujhe aaj lagta hai sach maan lo
ye chehra nahin hai gulaabi kamal
ye dil kaise chori kiya jaayega
ye dil kaise chori kiya jaayega
mujhe dil churaane ki aadat nahin
aa aa aa
aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
mujhe kuchh huaa hai pataa hai tumhe
badi nam hawaa hai pataa hai tumhe
badan jal rahaa hai ragon mein magar*
lahu jam gaya hai pataa hai tumhe*
lo sar jhuk gaya hai tumhe kya khabar
lo sar jhuk gaya hai tumhe kya khabar
mujhe sar jhukaane ki aadat nahin
main jaisa bhi hoon
haan
jaisa bhi hoon
saamne hoon khadaa aa
mujhe kuchh chhupaane ki aadat nahin
bataao tumhe pyaar kaise karoon
mujhe pyaar karne ki aadat nahin
[Author’s Note: * In the video version these lines are in the voice of Asha Bhonsle, while the audio version has them in Nitin Mukesh’s voice.]

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # # Missing Films of 1972-Kavi Sammelan -03#
——————————————
Welcome all to today’s post.
Today’s ‘poetry recitation’ is the third offering from this movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’ (1972) to appear on the blog.
The first ‘poem-post’ from this movie – “Tum Ek Baar Priye Aa Jaao“, was posted on the blog on 05.02.2022. This poem was written and recited by ‘poet-lyricist’ Maya Govind. The second poem from this movie – “Lakshmi Maiyya Var De” was presented on 12.02.2022 which was written and recited by Kaka Hathrasi.
The movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’ was directed by Kedar Sharma for Rajshri Productions Pvt Ltd., and it was was produced by Tarachand Badjatya. Compering of this poetry recitation program and introduction of the poets was done by Ramrikh ‘Manhar’.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.02.1972, which means this movie has now completed ‘fifty years’ of its age 😊
The footnote for this movie page in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions that “Bharat ke shreshthhtam Kavi pehli baar ek saath rajat-pat par pesh kiye gaye thhe” – (“भारत के श्रेष्ठतम कवि पहली बार एक साथ रजत-पट पेश किए गए थे”). Poems of following poets are included in this movie.
Rashtrakavi Shri Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’
Santosh Anand (mentioned as ‘Santoshanand’)
Kaka Hathrasi
Som Thakur
Bekal ‘Utsahi’
‘Neeraj’
Snehlata ‘Sneh’
Radheshyam ‘Pragalbh’
Shail Chaturvedi
Govind Vyas
Maya Devi
Nirbhay Hathrasi
Balkavi Bairaagi
Omprakash ‘Aaditya’
Manik Verma
Kedar Sharma
Gopal Prasad Vyas
(Addenda in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) for this movie mentions that there were two more creations by Vimlesh and Paras Bhramar in this movie.)
Today’s poem is written by Gopaldas Saxena popularly known to us by his pen-name ‘Neeraj’. He has given us a ‘treasure trove’ of his poems and many immortal lyrics in Hindi Film Songs which will be read and savored by generations to come, as long as poetry and Hindi Film Music is discussed.
This recitation is a set of three short poems. In Hindi, this is called a ‘मुक्तक’ (muktak). These are short poems that are not connected to each other, although they are presented together.
Neeraj ji was born on 04.01.1925 and left this world on 19.07.2018. A detailed post on Neeraj ji, with the song “Isko Bhi Apnaata Chal Usko Bhi Apnaata Chal” (film ‘Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal’, 1965), was written by our Shri Sadanand ji on 20.07.2018 as a tribute to him. I think this is one of the excellent posts on the blog that everybody should read. Hence, I am not mentioning about Neeraj ji’s biography or filmography in brief here. Because his ‘stature’ is so great and requires a post of such calibre which is already written by Sadanand ji. This post mentions in details about the biography of Neeraj ji and his journey into the world of poetry and film songs. I request readers to kindly go through this post.
Let us now listen to today’s philosophical poem – a set of three short ‘मुक्तक’, recited on screen by a younger Neeraj ji himself.
Song-Khushi Jis Ne Khoji Wo Dhan Le Ke Lauta (Kavi Sammelan)(1972) singer-Neeraj, Lyrics-Neeraj
Lyrics
Muktak – 1
khushi jis ne khoji
khushi jis ne khoji
wo dhan le ke lauta aa
hansi jis ne khoji
chaman le ke lauta
khushi jis ne khoji
wo dhan le ke lauta
hansi jis ne khoji
chaman le ke lauta
magar pyaar ko
khojne jo chala wo o o o
na tan le ke lauta
na mann le ke lauta
khushi jisne khoji
Muktak – 2
koi chala
koi chala
to kis liye
nazar tu dabdaba gayi
koyi chala
to kis liye
nazar tu dabdaba gayi
singaar kyun seham gaya
udaasi kyun ye chha gayi
na janm kuchh
na mrityu kuchh
bas itni sirf baat hai ae ae
ki kisi ki aankh khul gayi
kisi ko neend aa gayi ee
koyi chalaa to kis liye …
Muktak – 3
chhup chhup ashru bahaane waalon
moti arth lutaane waalon
kuchh sapnon ke mar jaane se
jeewan nahin maraa karta hai
sapna kya hai
nayan sej par
soya hua aankh ka paani
sapna kya hai
nayan sej par
soya hua aankh ka paani ee ee
aur tootna hai us ka jyon
jaage kachchi neend jawaani
geeli umar banaane waalo
doobe bina nahaane waalo
geeli umar banaane waalo
doobe bina nahaane waalo
kuchh paani ke beh jaane se
saawan nahin maraa karta hai ae ae
chhup chhup ashru bahaane waalo
moti arth lutaane waalo
kuchh sapnon ke mar jaane se
jeewan nahin maraa karta hai

मुक्तक – 1
खुशी जिसने खोजी
खुशी जिसने खोजी
वो धन ले के लौटा
हंसी जिसने खोजी
चमन ले के लौटा

हंसी जिसने खोजी
चमन ले के लौटा
मगर प्यार को
खोजने चला वो॰ ॰ ॰
ना तन ले के लौटा
ना मन ले के लौटा
खुशी जिसने खोजी
मुक्तक – 2
कोई चला
कोई चला

नज़र तू डबडबा गई
कोई चला

नज़र तू डबडबा गई
सिंगार क्यों सहम गया
उदासी क्यों ये छा गई
ना जन्म कुछ
ना मृत्यु कुछ
बस इतनी सिर्फ बात है
के किसी की आँख खुल गई
किसी को नींद आ गई
कोई चला
तो किस लिए॰ ॰ ॰
मुक्तक – 3
छुप छुप अश्रु बहाने वालो
मोती अर्थ लुटाने वालो
कुछ सपनों के मर जाने से
जीवन नहीं मरा करता है
सपना क्या है
नयन सेज पर
सोया हुआ आँख का पानी
सपना क्या है
नयन सेज पर
सोया हुआ आँख का पानी
और टूटना है उसका ज्यों
जागे कच्ची नींद जवानी
गीली उमर बनाने वालो
डूबे बिना नहाने वालो
गीली उमर बनाने वालो
डूबे बिना नहाने वालो
कुछ पानी के बह जाने से
सावन नहीं मरा करता है
छुप छुप अश्रु बहाने वालो
मोती अर्थ लुटाने वालो
कुछ सपनों के मर जाने से
जीवन नहीं मरा करता है
Lakshmi Maiyya Var De

(Addenda in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) for this movie mentions that there were two more creations by Vimlesh and Paras Bhramar in this movie.)
Today’s poem is written by Kaka Hathrasi. On screen Kaka Hathrasi himself has recited this poem which is a ‘humorous poem’ (haasya kavita), the genre of poems, which Kaka Hathrasi is well known for. Kata Hathrasi (real name Prabhulal Garg) was born on 18th September, 1906 in Hathras (in United Provinces of Agra and Oudh in British India), in a ‘Agrawal Vaishya’ family. Kaka has himself written about his date of birth as below.
Din athharah sitamber, Agrawal parivaar
Unnisau chhah mein liyaa, kaka ne avatar 😊
His ancestors came from Gokul Mahawan and settled in Hathras. They were in the business of selling of utensils. Grandfather of Kaka Shri Sitaram continued the business he got from his father. When the property was divided Kaka’s father Shri Shivlal Garg had to work in a ‘utensils’ shop as a ‘munim’.
The year Kaka born was the time when ‘plague’ had spread in India. Many families lost their near and dear ones in that pandemic and the tragedy of plague destroyed many families. Kaka’s family also suffered in this pandemic. And when Kaka was only 15 days old, he lost his father. His mother Barfidevi, a twenty-year-old housewife then, was grief-stricken. Kaka’s elder brother Bhajanlal was only two years old then.
His father could only leave a small house in Hathras as his property and nothing more that that with which the family could survive. Kaka’s mother took Kaka and his brother to Iglas where her parents and brothers were staying. Kaka’s maternal uncles helped his mother in all the way as possible. However, she could not get mental peace there and she decided to return to Hathras to their home. Her brothers arranged for a regular financial help for the family. When Kaka was ten years old his maternal uncle brought him to Iglas for education. After completing his education Kaka took a job at Rs.6/- per month salary where he was supposed to keep accounts and records of the weight of the grain bags.
Kaka used to take part in plays while he was in school and his character as ‘Kaka’ in one of the plays got him this name as Kaka and people used to call him by the name of Kaka. He kept the same name and added his place of birth Hathras to his name. When he took up writing he continue to write by the name of Kaka Hathrasi.
His first book ‘Kaka Ki Kachehari’ was published in 1946. Some stories and some of his humorous poems were compiled in this book. By this time Kaka had become a well-known personality of ‘humorous and satirical’ poems and a regular part of ‘Hasya Kavi Sammelans’. He used to keep beard, and this look of him got popular too.
Kaka wrote about his ‘beard’
kaka daadhhi raakhiye, bin daadhhi sab soon
jyon massoorie ke bina vyarth dehradun
vyarth dehradun isi se nar ki shobhaa
daadhhi se hi pragati kar gaye sant vinoba
manu vashishthha yadi daadhhi munh par nahin rakhaate
to kya bhagwaan ram ke guru ban jaate
काका दाड़ी राखिए बिन दाड़ी सब सून
ज्यों मसूरी के बिना व्यर्थ देहरादून
व्यर्थ देहरादून इसी से नर की शोभा
दाड़ी से ही प्रगति कर गए सन्त विनोबा
मुनि वशिष्ठ यदि दाड़ी मुंह पर नहीं रखाते
तो क्या भगवान राम के गुरु बन जाते
In 1957 Kaka was invited to a Kavi Sammelan held at Red Fort Delhi. On this occasion Kaka was asked to present a poem on ‘bravery and valour’ which was not his genre of poems. But Kaka presented a poem to hail the revolutionaries who fought for the freedom of India in 1857 – ‘Kraanti Ka Bigul’. The organiser of this program was Gopal Prasad Vyas. All present at this function appreciated Kaka’s poem, and thus Kaka continued further and became a prominent name among the writers and poets of India.
Kaka has many creations to his credit where the prominent among them are ‘Kaka Tarang’, ‘Kaka Ki Chaupaal’, ‘Jai Bolo Beimaan Ki’ and ‘Mera Jeevan’. Kaka was honoured with Padma Shri in 1985 by the government of India. Delhi based Hindi Academy has instituted a ‘Kaka Hathrasi Award’ for ‘outstanding contributions in the field of Hindi literature’ every year.
Born on 18th September, 1906 Kaka left for his heavenly abode on the same date in 1995 at the age of eighty-nine years.

Let us now enjoy the today’s poem written by Kaka Hathrasi and presented by himself for this movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’.

मैं पहले एक वन्दना प्रस्तुत कर रहा हूँ
मैं बहुत पहले सरस्वती वन्दना का पाठ किया करता था
सरस्वती वन्दना का पाठ करते करते मेरी financial position बिगड़ती गई

और मेरे ऊपर नोटों की वर्षा होने लगी
तब से मैंने नियम बना लिया है

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 168 # Missing Films of 1972-Kavi Sammelan -01#
——————————————
Greetings on Saraswati Pooja and Basant Panchami to all…!!!
Let the goddess of knowledge, art, speech, music, learning, wisdom bestow us with her blessings.
Let us welcome the ‘spring’ season and let ‘basant’ blossoms in our heart.
On this auspicious day we introduce a new movie on the blog and the movie is ‘Kavi Sammelan’. Whatever videos I have found related to this movie (mainly of poetry recitation) took me to my favourite planet – the planet of literature and poetry. In this special season up to ‘holi’ or ‘dhulendi’ let us enjoy the different colours of emotions.
Come with me and join me in this festival of celebration of ‘literature’ on the blog.
That also reminds me of various similar programs held especially on ‘Holi’ and ‘Diwali’ which I used to watch and enjoy a lot.
As mentioned above today’s song (rather a ‘poetry recitation’) is from the movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’ from 1972.
Regulars on the blog are aware that we are adding the ‘missing movies of 1972’ on the blog. And we are adding them in alphabetical order. However, while coming to alphabet ‘K’ we jumped one movie as mentioned by me in my earlier post ‘Baanka Sipahiya Aaya Mori Daiyya’ wherein I mentioned that,
In the previous post we had a song from the movie ‘Kaamna’ i.e., movie starting with alphabet ‘K’. Today we continue moving alphabetically still but jumping one ‘missing’ movie (without a ‘hint’ or ‘explanation’, but only for good reasons ) and stopping at the movie ‘Kundan’.
The movie we skipped was this movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’. At that time I needed to look for more information and details about this movie. Sudhir ji, while editing my earlier posts on ‘missing films of 1972’ had mentioned that “The film ‘Kavi Sammelan’ was a presentation of poetry by selected iconic poets of our country, of that time”.
The footnote for this movie page in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) mentions that ‘Bharat ke shreshthhtam Kavi pehli baar ek saath rajat-pat par pesh kiye gaye thhe.’
And in the order of appearance of their poetry recitation we have poems of the following Poets in this movie.
(I am listing the names of these poets like we mentioned the star-cast in other song-posts. However, I am refraining from mentioning the poem titles till we find all the related materials with them 😊. So far, I have found very few poems and their links, while majority of them is still to be located (if available) 😊).
Poems of following ‘poets’ are included in this movie.
1) Rashtrakavi Shri Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’
2) Santosh Anand (mentioned as ‘Santoshanand’)
3) Kaka Hathrasi
4) Som Thakur
5) Bekal ‘Utsahi’
6) ‘Neeraj’
7) Snehlata ‘Sneh’
8) Radheshyam ‘Pragalbh’
9) Shail Chaturvedi
10) Govind Vyas
11) Maya Devi
12) Nirbhay Hathrasi
13) Balkavi Bairaagi
14) Omprakash ‘Aaditya’
15) Manik Verma
16) Kedar Sharma
17) Gopal Prasad Vyas
Addenda in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) for this movie mentions that there were two more creations by Vimlesh and Paras Bhramar in this movie.
The first presentation from this movie which I have selected is a poem recitation by Maya Govind. Though this is not the first one in order of the appearance in the movie. However, the video accompanying this post will give readers an idea about the future posts that will be following from this movie.
As far a the background to this Kavi Goshthi, following lines are an edited excerpt from the information published with this video on YouTube.
A Kavi Sammelan programme was organized by Jagruti Samiti in 1968, where many great poets from across, including Shri Kaka Hashrasi, Shri Neeraj, Shri Hullad Muradabadi, Shri Bal Kavi Bairagi, Shri Som Thakur, Shri Indrajeet Singh Tulsi, and many others, were present, all on one stage.
The program was compered by Shri Ramrikh Manhar and chaired by National Poet Shri Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. This program was recorded by Director Kedar Sharma and 10 yrs later Rajshri Production released it as a movie named ‘Kavi Sammelan’ in the year 1978. This is the part 4 of of the movie where it only presents Poetess Smt. Maya Govind reciting her poem “Tum Ek bar Priye Aa Jao”.
Maya Govind was only 28 yrs young when she performed this.
As per Geet Kosh, this movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.02.1972 (so with a couple of weeks this movie will complete its ‘fifty years’. This video has a ‘Censor Board Certificate’, but that is dated 1978 and ‘type’ of this film is mentioned as ‘documentary’. Also, the credits at the beginning of this clip indicate that this is the 4th part of this film (or documentary), which could mean that the entire program was released as a four part film, and it is likely that the censor certificate of the first part was obtained in 1972.
We also find the mention of this presentation in a biographical video of Maya Govind presented by Shri Shishir Krishna Sharma ji.
Before listening to today’s song, let us have a look on a brief about Maya Govind as given below.
Maya Govind is said to have challenged the male dominance in the lyrics writing in movies and had established a distinguished place for herself in lyrics writing in Hindi movies.
Maya Govind was born on 17th January’ 1940 in Lucknow. Her father (Harnath Vahal) was a cloth merchant in Lucknow. Maya Govind and her two younger sisters were the three siblings. When Maya Govind was still a child her father lost his eyesight. His wife – Maya Govind’s mother – was a housewife, and all his children were small kids. So, all his shops and slowly his house too was taken over by his relatives. That forced her mother to take shelter in a rented house.
When Maya Govind was only five years old, she lost her father which left the family in a bad economic condition. In this situation her maternal uncle helped them to survive and to get education to the children. Maya Govind was the eldest among the three sisters. She completed her B.A. and B. Ed.
Maya Govind got married while she was in her first year of B. Ed. However, her marriage didn’t last long, and she returned to her mother within three months of her marriage. She continued doing B. Ed and joined a four-year course in ‘Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyalaya’. She also learned ‘Kathhak’ from Shambhu Maharaj. She did plays for Radio in Lucknow. Later she started teaching at Bal Vidya Mandir Lucknow. During this she kept acting in plays and joined the famous stage artist Kunwar Kalyan Singh.
She had been writing poetry since she was eleven years old. Once when Bharat Bhushan and his brother producer Ramesh Chandra (better known as R. Chandra) spotted her during their visit to her school and impressed by her poetry R. Chandra asked her to visit Bombay. That was in 1966.
R. Chandra offered her three movies to write lyrics for (these were ‘Mushaira’, ‘Megh Malhar’, and ‘Baap Bete’). She wrote eleven songs for ‘Mushaira’ and returned to Lucknow. Suddenly R. Chandra died in between, and only two songs were recorded then under the baton of Music Director Khayyam. (Later R. Chandra’s son Rakesh Chandra included these two songs in the movie ‘Muthhi Bhar Chawal’ in ‘1975’.)
In 1965-66 Govind Arora (alias Ram Govind)- a famous writer and stage personality – came to Lucknow from Samastipur, Bihar to look for artistes for his plays. Maya Govind was offered the lead role. During this association they become close friends and got married in 1967. Ram Govind too got settled in Lucknow. Both founded the ‘Darpan Naatya Sanstha’ in Lucknow.
In 1972 Maya Govind came to Bombay to participate in a ‘Kavi Sammelan’ where one among the audience was the famous producer director Ramanand Sagar. Impressed by her poetry he signed Maya Govind for lyrics writing for his movie ‘Jalte Badan’ which was released in 1973. In this movie she wrote all the lyrics for all the four songs in the movie. Around the same time, she came into contact with Guru Dutt’s brother Atmaram who was making the movie ‘Aarop’ (1974) then. He offered her lyrics writing for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by the legendary Bhupen Hazarika. The song “Nainon Mein Darpan Hai” got popular from this movie. During this time famous producer Tarachand Badjatya recorded three poems of Maya Govind for a private album.
In 1988 Maya Govind set up her own production house – Bahar Productions which produced ‘Tohfa Mohabbat Ka’ which was not a commercial success and later she launched movie ‘Taandav’ which was shelved after shooting of 13 reels due to financial problems. Her recent movie as lyricist was ‘Baazar-E-Husn’ (2014) under Khayyam Saab.
We have not gone through the filmography of Maya Govind in detail here, as this would take a separate write-up and we leave that for the future. Readers can read more about Maya Govind in her detailed interview with Shishir Kumar Sharma ji posted here on Shishir ji’s blog ‘beete huye din’ here .
Let us now listen to today’s beautiful (song) poem. 😊
With today’s song the movie ‘Kavi Sammelan’ makes its debut on the blog. 😊
I sincerely hope that all will enjoy today’s post. I would request knowledgeable readers to provide additional information and trivia about this movie.

Song-Tum ek baar priye aa jaao (Kavi Sammelan)(1972) Singer-Maya Govind, Lyrics-Maya Govind
Lyrics
tum ek baar priy aa jaao o
to aanchal bhar suhaag odhoon
kaajal aanjoon
paayal baandhoon
drig mein jhaankoon
darpan todoon
tum ek baar priy aa jaao o
aashaayen alakh jagaati hain
beemar kalpnaa ke dwaare
aashaayen alakh jagaati hain
beemar kalpnaa ke dwaare
adhron ne band kiwaad kiye
nainaa jeete bainaa haare
kolaahal ke baazaaron mein ae
vandan ke chhand bike saare ae
nanadi jaisi natkhat sandhya
bhar bhar sindoor taane maare
tum mera sambodhan var lo o o
main tootaa chandan tan jodoon oon
tum ek baar priye aa jaao o
to kaliyaan chitke daali lachke
maali vihanse bhanwre jhoome ae
bhanwaron ke pankh paraag pagey
maali kaliyaan tode choome
to
ek rasik aur ek vyaapaari
ek loote ek bechen ritu mein ae
sammaan sahit murjhaa jaati
main khilti agar kisi ban mein
to tum pawan bano mujhko chhoo do
main joothi pankhuriyaan todoon oon
tum ek baar priye aa jaao
tere mere iske uske
naate rishtey sab bantey huye ae
ye kuchh kehta wo kuchh kehta
bolen akshar sab ratey huye
jhoothe sapne kab tak dekhoon
doli se saajan satey huye ae
ghabraakar udnaa bhi chaahoon
to pankh hamaare kate huye
adhron par tum aakaash dharo
to ankhiyon ke vish-ghat kholoon oon
tum ek baar priy aa jaao
sindoor chadhaaun ya mitti
donon ke niyam ek se hain aen
sindoor chadhaaun ya mitti
donon ke niyam ek se hain
ghoonghat mein mukhdaa chhuptaa hai
chunar aur kafan ek se hain
ghoonghat mein mukhdaa chhuptaa hai
chunar aur kafan ek se hain
is doli aur us doli ke ae
chadhne ke shagun ek se hain aen
do baar aath pag saath chalen
aathhon ke chalan ek se hain
tum man madhuban ka path de do
tum man madhuban ka path de do
to main tan ka marghat chhodoon oon
tum ek baar priy aa jaao o
to aanchal bhar suhaag odhoon

तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
तो आँचल भर सुहाग ओढ़ूँ
काजल आँजूँ
पायल बांधूँ
दृग में झाँकूँ
दर्पण तोड़ूँ
तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
आशाएँ अलख जगाती हैं
बीमार कल्पना के द्वारे
आशाएँ अलख जगाती हैं
बीमार कल्पना के द्वारे
अधरों ने बन्द किवाड़ किए
नैना जीते बैना हारे
कोलाहल के बाज़ारों में
वन्दन के छंद बिके सारे
ननदी जैसी नटखट संध्या
भर भर सेंदूर ताने मारे
तुम मेरा सम्बोधन वर लो
मैं टूटा चन्दन तन जोड़ूँ
तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
कलियाँ चिटकें डाली लचके
माली विहँसे भँवरे झूमें
भँवरों के पंख पराग पगे
माली कलियाँ तोड़ें चूमें
तो एक रसिक और एक व्यापारी
एक लूटे एक बेचे ऋतु में
सम्मान सहित मुरझा जाती
मैं खिलती अगर किसी बन में
तो तुम पवन बनो मुझको छू दो
मैं जूठी पंखुरियाँ तोड़ूँ
तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
तेरे मेरे इसके उसके
नाते रिश्ते सब बटे हुये
ये कुछ कहता वो कुछ कहता
बोलें अक्षर सब रटे हुये
झूठे सपने कब तक देखूँ
डोली से साजन सटे हुये
घबरा कर उड़ना भी चाहूँ
तो पंख हमारे कटे हुये
अधरों पर तुम आकाश धरो
तो अखियों के विष घट फोड़ूँ
तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
सिंदूर चढ़ाऊँ या मिट्टी
दोनों के नियम एक से हैं
सिंदूर चढ़ाऊँ या मिट्टी
दोनों के नियम एक से हैं
घूँघट में मुखड़ा छुपता है
चूनर और कफन एक से हैं
घूँघट में मुखड़ा छुपता है
चूनर और कफन एक से हैं
इस डोली और उस डोली के
चढ़ने के शगुन एक से हैं
दो बार आठ पग साथ चलें
आठों के चलन एक से हैं
तुम मन मधुबन का पथ दे दो
तुम मन मधुबन का पथ दे दो
तो मैं तन का मरघट छोड़ूँ
तुम एक बार प्रिए आ जाओ
तो आँचल भर सुहाग ओढ़ूँ

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 23
—————————————————————————
I could not send any write-up from my side on Sahir Ludhianvi’s birth anniversary this year on 08th March. However, I had shared few songs and had compiled an excel sheet on Sahir Ludhianvi’s filmography with the respective music directors, which I intend to use for future posts on the blog as and when possible.
While noting down the movies and number of songs from each movie, I came across the today’s songs or rather this ‘couplet recitation’ song from the movie ‘Dil Hi Toh Hai’ (1963). This song has been mentioned in the list of songs by Sahir Ludhianvi in Akshay Manwani’s book ‘Sahir Ludhianvi – The People’s Poet’. HFGK Vol IV (1961-1970) though does not mention this song in the list of songs under this movie. HFGK mentions ten songs in the movie which have already been posted on the blog.
When I searched for the audio/video of this extra song mentioned in Akshay Manwani’s book it was already available. So, we have an opportunity to bring this ‘couplet recitation’ on the blog today under ‘Blog ten-year challenge’ (since one song from this movie was posted on the blog on 23.04.2010). As this movie has already been ‘Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog the today’s song comes as ‘bonus’ for all of us to listen and enjoy.
I am presenting this beautiful song here which is lip synced on screen by the beautiful Nutan. In the movie this song happens just before the song ‘Tum Agar Mujhko Naa Chaaho To Koi Baat Nahin’ or rather it is after this ‘teasing’ song of today by the heroine Jamila Bano (Nutan), that the hero Chand Sahab of the movie (Raj Kapoor) gets ‘provoked’ (or inspired ? 😉) to sing ‘tum agar mujhko naa chaaho’…
The situation is that Jamila Bano is a great fan of singer Chand Sahab but she had not met him and there is a party on the birth anniversary of her friend Pushpa where Chand Sahab is suppose to attend the party. However, incidentally they both came across in shop where they intend to buy the ‘birthday gift’. Jamila Bano and her ‘sahelis’, unaware of who this fellow is misake Chand Sahab for a ‘loafer’ (badmaash, peechhaa karne waala😊 ) and when they see the same fellow also following them at the party venue, and when her friends ask Jamila Bano to say something, she recites this she’r directed at Chand Sahab. After this when Chand Sahab is invited to sing Jamila Bano is surprised but Chand Sahab also took this opportunity and he sings
tum agar mujhko naa chaaho to koi baat nahin,
tum kisi aur ko chaahogi to mushqil hogi 😊
‘Dil Hi To Hai’ was jointly directed by PL Santoshi and CL Rawal for ‘Rawal Films’, Bombay. It was produced by BL Rawal. It had Raj Kapoor, Nutan, Agha, Nazir Husain, Leela Chitnis, Babloo, Padmini Priyadarshani, Sabita Chatterjee, Shivraj, Manorama, Mumtaz, Hari Shivdasani and Pran. The story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by GL Rawal. Editing was done by Pran Mehra.
Lyrics for this movie were written by Sahir Ludhianvi and music was composed by Roshan. Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Asha Bhonsle and Suman Kalyanpur had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
As mentioned above the movie has total ten songs as listed below and if we include the today’s ‘couplet-song’ it makes eleven songs in this movie.

Song – Aap Abhi Ishq Ki Tehzeeb Se Aagaah Nahin (Dil Hi To Hai)(1963) Singer – Nutan, Lyrics – Sahir Ludhianvi, MD – Roshan
Lyrics
aap abhi ishq ki tehzeeb se
aagaah nahin
aap abhi ishq ki tehzeeb se
aagaah nahin
aap se mel badhaane ki
hamen chaah nahin
[Dialogues]
aap se pyaar karey koyi
aap se pyaar karey koyi ee
to kyun pyaar karey ae
aap se pyaar karey koyi ee
to kyun pyaar karey ae
aap ki shaql to kya
baat bhi dil-khwaah nahin

Preamble of the Indian Constitution
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
Components of Preamble
1. It is indicated by the Preamble that the source of authority of the Constitution lies with the people of India.
2. Preamble declares India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic.
3. The objectives stated by the Preamble are to secure justice, liberty, equality to all citizens and promote fraternity to maintain unity and integrity of the nation.
4. The date is mentioned in the preamble when it was adopted i.e. November 26, 1949.
Key Words In The Preamble
1. Sovereign
The term ‘Sovereign’ which is proclaimed by the Preamble means that India has its own independent authority and it is not a dominion of any other external power. In the country, the legislature has the power to make laws which is subjected to certain limitations.
2. Socialist
The term ‘Socialist’ was added in the Preamble by 42nd Amendment, 1976 which means the achievement of socialist ends through democratic means. It is basically a ‘Democratic Socialism’ that holds faith in a mixed economy where both private and public sectors co-exist side by side.
3. Secular
The term ‘Secular’ was incorporated in the Preamble by 42nd Constitutional Amendment, 1976 which means that all the religions in India get equal respect, protection and support from the state.
4. Democratic
The term ‘Democratic’ implies that the Constitution of India has an established form of Constitution which gets its authority from the will of the people expressed in an election.
5. Republic
The term ‘Republic’ indicates that the head of the state is elected by the people directly or indirectly. In India, the President is the head of the state and he is elected indirectly by the people.
BR Ambedkar said about the preamble:-
It was, indeed, a way of life, which recognizes liberty, equality, and fraternity as the principles of life and which cannot be divorced from each other: Liberty cannot be divorced from equality; equality cannot be divorced from liberty. Nor can liberty and equality be divorced from fraternity. Without equality, liberty would produce the supremacy of the few over the many. Equality without liberty would kill individual initiative. Without fraternity, liberty and equality could not become a natural course of things.
As today we all are celebrating the 71 Republic Day , being the day of inception of the constitution of India, I thought that we should start this post with ‘The Preamble to the Constitution’. The Preamble though is very much part of the constitution itself.
I have the great pleasure of writing the post on this song celebrating the very appropriateness of the justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. This is also the song which brought me to this blog incidentally on 25th of January 2011, and this was my first comment on this blog’s farmaish page.

January 25, 2011 at 1:06 amI have surfed the net all over for this song/nazm:
khud jiyo auron ko bhi jeene do,
yehi to hai zindagi ka raasta,
tumhien aman ka shanti ka vasta,This is not available even on youtube. i am very much surprised did not anticipate this difficulty. This was widely used in school assembly , and i found on some website that today itself that it is sung by the great Mohammed Rafi (also). Frankly i was expecting many versions (by various singers). If u could find and just send the lyrics at least, on urgent basis. i shall be ever grateful.
It was exactly 9 years ago that I stumbled upon this blog and life as I knew it before, changed for me. In many ways I can define the journey of my life before and after 26th January 2011.
Now about the page “Readers farmaishes” : I wonder at how beautifully the word “Farmaish” has adapted to its Anglicized plural ‘farmaishes’. Another unique word which require a few sentences to get at the spirit of it, in any other language. Google’s English is showing the pathetically legal “Petition”, or it is most likely a Victorian equivalent. The concept of ‘farmaishi programme’ is so intrinsically Indian, be it a much indulged child’s or an overindulged housewife’s. Or it fits us ‘spoilt-for-choices’ lovers of Hindi film music.
So it turns out that all those years ago I was looking for the lyrics of this song and in my search found that it is a Rafi song picturized on Prithvi Raj Kapoor in a classroom singing in front of school children. That time, the archives page of the website of Films Division of India was empty. I was searching the youtube intermittently for this song, in the hope that it will surface somehow. I tried everything I could for this was a Rafi song and no effort was to be spared. As luck would have it a few months ago I again searched for it and this time found a FDI film ‘Khud Jiyo Auron Ko Bhi Jeene Do’ in the Films Division archives pages. I requested Sudhir Sir to try and find the song, if it exists.
A few days ago Sudhir Sir had emailed me that the song is located and he had the video of the song, but it was not Rafi Sahab’s song. A decade old search has come to an end. All the info pertaining to it was correct, except for the singing voice. But when I heard the song today, when Sudhir Sir, sent the upload link to me, I am so glad that I persisted in the search, my search and quest is very much justified. Though it is not in Rafi Sahab’s voice, but a wonderfully worthy song written, composed and sung by the multi-talented Prem Dhawan. All the thanks and gratitude we the listeners, the beneficiaries of hard work of Sudhir Sir, can give to him, are just not enough.
The tune, voice, rendition and the lyrics are all soothing to the jaded soul.

Greetings all for the celebration today – the anniversary of declaration of our nation as a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic.
The Constituent Assembly, consisting of 389 eminent people from across all walks of life and all population segments in the country, was established on 6th December, 1946. After a string of debates, which included public debates in different parts of the country, the Assembly agreed to adopt our constitution on 6th November, 1949. And then on 26th January of 1950, the nation of India, that is Bharat, was declared as being governed according to this document which is the supreme law of our land.
The Preamble to the constitution states the following,
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
The constitution become the bedrock foundation for enunciating all the defining principles of governance and jurisprudence, which in turn form the source of all the laws that apply to our country and its citizens.
In terms of an identity, a nation is characterized and represented by a set of symbols which identify and define it. Wherever we may be in this world, whatever may be the query about what India is, the answers will always be in terms of certain symbols that are constant and do not change – our flag, our national emblem, our national anthem, our currency, and more.
As a matter of fact, symbols and symbolism form a very imperative part of our lives. All around us, in our everyday environment, we encounter a multitude of symbols that relate to every aspect of our lives. They could be fashion brands, corporate houses, currency, governments, services, road traffic – well, just any class and category of ‘things’ in and around our lives. These symbols are significant artifacts that represent, convey, and inspire a plethora of meanings and emotions relating to our everyday lives and experiences. These symbols may be local or universal. Everywhere in the world, the sign of dollar is a symbol for money. Traffic lights and signs are universal symbols, recognized across national boundaries. Emoticons we use every day now in our communications, are symbols that represents emotions, things, communication snippets. I could go on describing, and there would be no end to how symbols have become such an integral and pervasive part of our lives.
In a world we live in – a fragmented world of divisions that are represented and controlled on the basis of multiple criteria. We are a world of nation states. And the world over, the national identities are represented and underscored by a set of symbols. The flags, the emblem, colors, badges, plants/birds/animals – in fact each nation has a collection of symbols to characterize and epitomize its national identity. In our native Hindi, the word for flag is ‘निशान’ (nishan), which is a synonym for ‘symbol’.
National anniversaries are also in the nature of symbols of a nation. The celebrations of these anniversaries represent a dynamic continuity of the national identity across the pages of history. There is an evolution and transformation that happens with time, but the basic elements and definitions remain a constant. That constancy is an edifice of identity and a hallmark of stability and continuity in the matters of everyday interactions in the lives of the people of the nation. The presence of these symbols in our lives, and their everyday transactions, generates in our hearts a comfortable feeling of being – being an Indian.
For example, encountering the flag – our Tricolour, evokes in the heart, overwhelming emotions of pride, honor, affinity, affection and belonging. These symbols have become so much a part of our existence, that inside ourselves very strong emotions are now linked with these symbols. These symbols are now a cornerstone of our and our country’s existence.
The matter of honor and pride, linked with symbols and the emotions that these symbols evoke, has been a matter of very personal and a very human experience all across the history. The song being presented in this post today is a very forceful and compelling testimony on the inherent relationship between symbols and matter of national honor. Here is a brief slice of history representing a true episode from the annals of the Rajput history. As the reader will go through this song, one will find many symbols – that of patriotism, personal relations and personal sacrifices – being invoked.
The episode tells a piece of history, about Haadi Rani, who is now a folk heroine in Rajasthan. Haadi Rani was the daughter of King Haada Chauhan of the Kingdom of Boondi. She was married to Rawat Ratan Singh Chundaawat of Salumber (in Udaipur). Ratan Singh was the commander of the army of Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar, India was ruled at that time by the sixth Mughal Emperor – Aurangzeb Alamgir.
In a turn of events, the royal Mughal forces invaded Mewar. Maharana Raj Singh sent an urgent emissary to Rawat Ratan Singh, to raise the army and join the battle against Aurangzeb’s forces. As circumstances would have it, Ratan Singh had just been married one week prior. Initially, he was hesitant to leave his newlywed bride, and go to the battlefield. However, Haadi Rani reminded him of his duty towards the king and the kingdom, and prevailed upon him to join the battle. Ratan Singh left Salumber and his bride, and proceeded to join Maharana Raj Singh with his contingent. However, his mind was still engrossed with the amorous affections for Haadi Rani.
Midway from his march towards Udaipur, he sent back a messenger to his palace, with a message for his bride – that she should send him some token symbol of love – ‘प्रेम चिन्ह’, to sustain him through the times he is away from her. On reading the message, Rani sensed the state of mind of her husband, and at first, was quite bewildered as to what she should do. She apprehended that his mind being engrossed with her, he would not be an effective soldier and commander on the battlefield. But quickly she made up her mind, and decided the commit the ultimate sacrifice. She instructed the messenger quite sternly. Then she proceeded to behead herself with a sword. The messenger, very shocked and shaken, followed her instructions, and carried her bleeding head on golden tray, covered with her bridal finery, to Ratan Singh.
Ratan Singh, waiting eagerly for the ‘प्रेम चिन्ह’, received what he never expected in his wildest dreams. Uncovering the tray, he saw the head of his newlywed bride. His grief and his repentance had no bounds, for in a flash he realized what Haadi Rani had done, and why had she done it. As the folklore goes, he picked up the head and slung it around his neck with the tresses that he had once caressed with love. With this demeanor, he launched himself into the battle. It is said that fought valiantly like a man possessed, and led his army to victory against the forces of the Mughal Emperor. Once the victory was attained and the opposition army was in retreat, Ratan Singh alighted from his horse, knelt down on the ground and proceeded to behead himself.
In the intense and turbulent martial history of Rajasthan, this episode stands amongst the most powerful and most emotional, where the honor of the kingdom, and its security is perceived as a paramount commitment, even above personal engagements and requirements. Haadi Rani made the supreme sacrifice for the sake that her commander husband would not be swayed by the thoughts of his recent matrimony, and that the sight that she eventually presented to her husband would have served as a vicious impetus for him to give his utmost in the battle against the enemy.
The symbolism of honor – the trumpets announcing the onset of warfare. The symbolism of love – the ‘प्रेम चिन्ह’ that Ratan Singh request for. And the symbolism of sacrifice – the ultimate step taken by Haadi Rani. This song converges these symbolisms into itself. A wonderfully emotional and a soul stirring presentation of one of the most chilling episodes of Rajput history.
The song is from the 1965 film ‘Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal’. In the film, the setting of this song is as follows. A group of students, including Tanuja, Rajeev and Raj Kishore, are visiting another college in another city, for the annual festival of the latter college. As part of the program, all participant colleges are to present a stage item at the festival. This performance is presented by the protagonist group. In the film, Rajeev is the creative spirit of the team, and he completes the writing of this poem just in time for preparing the performance. On stage, the role of Haadi Rani is played by Tanuja, and that of Rawat Ratan Singh by Raj Kishore. We can see Rajeev doing the rendition of the poem on the mike placed in the wings of the stage.
The words of this poem are written by Manmohan Tiwari, the only song of this film that is not written by Neeraj. Music composition is by Roshan. The singing voice is of Manna Dey – the song has been rendered with such flourish and emotional dexterity.
A stirring reminder again today, the price of breathing in free air is defined through examples like this episode from our history. The finale of the song brings us back into convergence of the historical and the present tense – “O Bharat Maa Teri Jai Ho”.
Whatever else may be our compulsions, our personal motivations, our limitations, our interests, I am sure none of us differs about this sentiment – “O Bharat Maa Teri Jai Ho”.
[Ed Note: With this post, all songs of this film are now represented on our blog. The film ‘Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal’ is now yippeee’d.]

Lyrics (Provided by Avinash Scrapwala)
thi shubh suhaag ki raat madhur
madhu chalak rahaa tha kan kan mein
sapne jagtey the nainon mein
armaan machaltey the mann mein
sardaar magan mann jhoom raha
pal pal har ang phadakta tha
honthon par pyaas mahakti thi
praanon mein pyaar dhadakta tha
tab hi ghunghat mein muskaati
tab hi ghunghat mein muskaati
pag paayal cham cham chamkaati
raani antahpur mein aayi
kuch sakuchaati kuch sharmaati
mehndi se haath rache donon
maathe par kumkum ka teeka
gora mukhda muskaa de to
poonam ka chaand lagey pheeka
dheere se badh choodavat ne
dheere se badh choodavat ne
raani ka ghunghat pat khola
nas nas mein kaundh gayi bijli
peepal patte sa tan dola
adharon se adhar miley jab tak
lajja ke toote chhand band
rann-bigul dwaar par goonj uthaa aa
rann-bigul dwaar par goonj uthaa
shehnaayi ka swar huaa mand
bhuj bandhan bhoola aalingan
aalingan bhool gaya chumban
chumban ko bhool gayi saansen
saanson ko bhool gayi dhadkan
taj kar suhaag ki sej saji
taj kar suhaag ki sej saji
bola aa na yuddh ko jaaunga
teri kajraari alkon mein
mann moti aaj guthaaunga
pehle to raani rahi maun
phir kaal jwaal si bhabhak utthi
bin baadal bin barkhaa maano
kya bijli koyi kadak utthi
ghayal naagan si bhaunh taan
ghunghat ukhaadkar yoon boli
talwaar mujhe de do apni
tum pehan raho choodi choli
pinjde mein koyi band sher
pinjde mein koyi band sher
sehsa sote se jaag utthe
yaa aandhi andhad saath liye
jaise pahaad se aag utthe
ho gaya khadaa tan kar ranaa
haathon mein bhaala utthaa liya
har har bam bam bam mahadev
har har bam bam bam mahadev
kah kar rann ko prasthaan kiya
dekha pati ka jab veer vesh
pehle to raani harshaayi
phir sehmi tthitthki akulaayi
aankhon mein badli ghir aayi
paagal si gayi jharokhe par
paagal si gayi jharokhe par
par-kite hansini thi adheer
ghodey par chadhaa dikhaa ranaa
jaise kamaan par chadhaa teer
donon ki aankhen huyi chaar
choodavat phir sudhbudh khoyi
sandesh pathaa kar raani ko
mangwaaya prem chinh koi
sewak ja pahunchaa mehlon mein
raani se maangi sainaani
raani jhijhki phir cheekh utthi
boli kah de mar gayi raani
le khadag haath
phir kahaa thahar
le sainaani
le sainaani
ambar bola
le sainaani
dharti boli
le sainaani
rakh kar chaandi ki thaali mein
sewak bhaaga le sainaani
ranaa adheer bola badhkar
laa
laa
laa
laa
laa sainaani
kapda jab magar hataaya to
rah gaya khada moorat ban kar
lahuluhaan raani ka sir
hansta tha rakha thaali par
sardaar dekh kar chitkaar uttha
haa raani
haa meri raani
adbhut hai teri qurbaani
tu sach much hi hai kshatraani
phir ed lagaayi ghode par
dharti boli jai ho jai ho
haadi raani teri jai ho
o bharat maa teri jai ho
o bharat maa teri jai ho o
teri jai ho
o bharat maa teri jai ho o

Devnagri Script lyrics (Provided by Avinash Scrapwala)
————————————————————————————-
थी शुभ सुहाग कि रात मधुर
मधु छलक रहा था कण कण में
सपने जगते थे नैनों में
अरमान मचलते थे मन में
सरदार मगन मन झूम रहा
पल पल हर अंग फड़कता था
होंठों पर प्यास महकती थी
प्राणों में प्यार धड़कता था
तब ही घूँघट में मुस्काती
तब ही घूँघट में मुस्काती
पग पायल छम छम छमकाती
रानी अन्तःपुर में आयी
कुछ सकुचाती कुछ शरमाती
मेहँदी से हाथ रचे दोनों
माथे पर कुमकुम का टिका
गोरा मुखड़ा मुस्का दे तो
पूनम का चाँद लगे फीका
धीरे से बढ़ चूंडावत ने
धीरे से बढ़ चूंडावत ने
रानी का घूँघट पट खोला
नस नस में कौंध गयी बिजली
पीपल पत्ते सा तन डोला
अधरों से अधर मिले जब तक
लज्जा के टूटे छंद बन्द
रण बिगुल द्वार पर गूँज उठा आ
रण बिगुल द्वार पर गूँज उठा
शहनाई का स्वर हुआ मन्द
भुज बंधन भूला आलिंगन
आलिंगन भूल गया चुम्बन
चुम्बन को भूल गयी साँसें
साँसों को भूल गयी धड़कन
तज कर सुहाग कि सेज सजी
तज कर सुहाग कि सेज सजी
बोला॰॰आ न युद्ध को जाऊँगा
तेरी कजरारी अलकों में
मन मोती आज गुंथाऊंगा
पहले तो रानी रही मौन
फिर काल ज्वाल सी भभक उठी
बिन बादल बिन बरखा मानो
क्या बिजली कोई कड़क उठी
घायल नागन सी भौंह तान
घूँघट उखाड़कर यूं बोली
तलवार मुझे दे दो अपनी
तुम पहन रहो चूड़ी चोली
पिंजड़े में कोई बंद शेर
पिंजड़े में कोई बंद शेर
सहसा सोते से जाग उठे
या आंधी अंधड़ साथ लिए
जैसे पहाड़ से आग उठे
हो गया खडा तन कर राणा
हाथों में भाला उठा लिया
हर हर बम बम बम महादेव
हर हर बम बम बम महादेव
कह कर रण को प्रस्थान किया
देखा पति का जब वीर वेश
पहले तो रानी हर्षाई
फिर सहमी ठिठकी अकुलाई
आँखों में बदली घिर आई
पागल सी गयी झरोखे पर
पागल सी गयी झरोखे पर
पर-कटी हंसनी थी अधीर
घोडे पर चढ़ा दिखा राणा
जैसे कमान पर चढ़ा तीर
दोनों कि आँखें हुयी चार
चूंडावत फिर सुधबुध खोयी
सन्देश पठा कर रानी को
मंगवाया प्रेमचिन्ह कोई
सेवक जा पहुंचा महलों में
रानी से मांगी सैनाणी
रानी झिझकी फिर चीख उठी
बोली कह दे मर गयी रानी
ले खड्ग हाथ
फिर कहा ठहर
ले सैनाणी
ले सैनाणी
अम्बर बोला
ले सैनाणी
धरती बोली
ले सैनाणी
रख कर चांदी कि थाली में
सेवक भागा ले सैनाणी
राणा अधीर बोला बढ़कर
ला
ला
ला
ला
ला सैनाणी
कपडा जब मगर हटाया तो
रह गया खडा मूरत बन कर
लहुलुहान रानी का सर
हंसता था रक्खा थाली पर
सरदार देख कर चीत्कार उठा
हा रानी
हा मेरी रानी
अद्भुत है तेरी कुर्बानी
तू सचमुच ही है क्षत्राणी
फिर एड़ लगाई घोड़े पर
धरती बोली जय हो जय हो
हाड़ी रानी तेरी जय हो
ओ भारत माँ तेरी जय हो ओ
ओ भारत माँ तेरी जय हो
तेरी जय हो
ओ भारत माँ तेरी जय हो
