When I plan to write an article for any series or a song, I ensure that I gather more than necessary material,so that I can select the desired material from that.In such exercises,many times I come across some unusual songs-in the sense that sometimes the singer is uncommon,or the theme of the song is different,or the composer is special or even the song is too obscure but needs an exposure. In such cases,I keep these songs in the ‘Draft’ section of my computer,to be used in future, at an appropriate time.

In the earlier days of this blog, I would just discuss songs that occurred to me. With time, when we had some critical mass of songs we began to think in terms of discussing all the songs figuring in movies. At that time we relied upon our readers possessing HFGK to tell us which songs from which movies remained to be discussed.

Tum mere pass hote ho goya
Jab koi doosra nahi hota

Most of the readers of this blog may have known this she’r albeit with a minor variation in the song o mere shaah e khubaan written by Hasrat Jaipuri in ‘Love in Tokyo’ (1966). But how many of us would have known ( including me until few months back) that this original she’r was written by Momin Khan ‘Momin’, one of the prominent Urdu poets in the Mughal court during early 1800s. And what a beautiful romantic she’r!. Mirza Ghalib who was the contemporary and a close friend of Momin is reported to have offered his entire ‘Diwan e Ghalib’ for Momin’s this she’r, one among the nine she’rs in his ghazal ‘asar usko jaraa nahin hota’.
