This song under discussion is from the film “Birha ki Raat”(1950). Another song I discussed from this film the other day “bahut purdard hai aye sunnewaale”” starts with the sh’er :
jahaan mein jin ki ummeedon ke bede
paar hote hain
woh khush qismat hazaaron mein kahin
do chaar hote hain
‘Beda paar lagaana’ is a saying in hindi/urdu meaning ‘achieving the ambition or reaching ones destination. The word ‘Beda’ literally means a “Fleet of big ships”. The opposite of this saying in a curse “Beda garq ho teraa” or a lament “beda garq hogayaa”. “Garq’ is drowning in water. The special thing about these sayings or muhaavra’s which are used in urdu/hindi, is that they can be used backwards, forwards, in singular/plural,past/present tense, negative/positive and in varied situation they can be applied.

Today, the 4th of June, is the birth anniversary of Bina Rai.
It also happens to be the birth anniversary of Nutan. In fact both Nutan and Bina Rai were born on the exact same date – the 4th of June 1936. What a coincidence!

While I searched for this song, Youtube had a number of audio links, no video links, and they all said only that this was a Rafi song from the film “Love in Canada”. The year is said to be 1979, but I am not too sure. When I heard the opening music of the song, I was convinced that it is an R D Burman song. Still to verify my hunch, I looked for info on earthmusic.net. But that website has no information of either this film or song. In this case even Google search engine was not of much help. Finally I remembered that there is a privately compiled list of all Rafi songs stored somewhere in my lap top. I found the excel format file and found the other details about this song. This is song no. 5337 in total 5373 songs rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
